Joffrey Lauvergne scores career-high 26 points in Spurs' loss
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Joffrey Lauvergne scored 26 points (12-of-15 field goals, 2-of-4 free throws) with 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 23.9 minutes of Tuesday's 117-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Lauvergne hadn't logged more than 15 minutes in any of the previous eight games, so this performance was a complete stunner. The points are a new career-high for the fourth-year big man, who made the most of his opportunity for a Spurs team that was missing LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) and limiting Pau Gasol on a back-to-back. San Antonio is off until next Friday.
Lauvergne scored 43.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday, obliterating his average of 9.6 FanDuel points per game for the season. His previous high for the year was 23.2 FanDuel points.
