Ja Morant one assist shy of double-double on Friday

by Dave Kluge | Grizzlies Correspondent | Fri, Aug 7th 6:37pm EDT

Ja Morant logged 19 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3PT, 7-7 FT), a team-high nine assists, and four rebounds in Friday's win over the Thunder.

Fantasy Impact:

Morant and the Grizzlies got off to a slow start, but Morant started attacking the rim in the second half and went a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line to help the Grizzlies with their huge comeback. Morant is averaging 17.8 points, 7.1 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game and now that he has his first bubble win, he should hopefully feel a bit less pressure as a rookie leading a team in a playoff push.
