P.J. Tucker chips in 15 points as Rockets take Game 1
Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker scored 15 points on 6-for-8 shooting Sunday, to go with 6 rebounds and 1 steal in a 110-96 win over the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Tucker has been relatively quiet offensively with the Rockets this postseason, but if he is making three-pointers, he can put up double-digit scoring nights like this one. It likely won't come with much consistency, but Tucker's presence still helps the Rockets stretch the floor. He now has 15 points in each of his last two playoff games.
Tucker is averaging 17.0 FanDuel points per game this season.
