Hornets' Dwayne Bacon scores 15 points with career-high 5 assists in easy victory
Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Dwayne Bacon scored 15 points (6-of-14 field goals, 3-of-3 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals in 31.2 minutes of Thursday's 140-79 destruction of the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
The assists are a new career-high for the second-round pick, who also topped 30 minutes for just the second time this season. That was due to the fact that The Hornets absolutely annihilated the Grizzlies, which allowed Bacon to top 30 minutes for the second time this season. He responded by setting a new career-high in assists. Charlotte gets another plus matchup on Saturday versus the Dallas Mavericks but the second-rounder probably won't see as much run.
Gordon scored a season-high 32.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, compared to his average of 7.3 FanDuel points per game for the season.
