Royce O'Neale scores career-high 19 points for Jazz
Utah Jazz small forward Royce O'Neale scored 19 points (7-of-12 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 35.7 minutes of Wednesday's 107-97 win over the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
The points are a new career-high for the 24-year-old rookie, who is averaging 10.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 1.0 3-pointers over his three starts. That said, Ricky Rubio's (hip) return after the break will cut into O'Neale's workload.
O'Neale scored 36.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday, triple his average of 12.0 FanDuel points per game for the season.
