David Nwaba's career-high 21 points not enough as Bulls fall to 76ers

Chicago Bulls point guard David Nwaba scored 21 points (9-of-14 field goals, 3-of-3 3-pointers) with 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 1 turnover in 33.2 minutes of Thursday's 116-115 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means:

Nwaba set a new career-high in points before eventually fouling out. He's an excellent perimeter defender and should continue to see plenty of playing time moving forward. The Bulls face the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Saturday.

Nwaba scored a season-high 39.8 FanDuel points on Thursday, more than double his average of 16.9 FanDuel points per game for the season.
