Rui Hachimura leads Wizards in scoring with 23 points
by Dan Titus | Lakers Correspondent | Sat, Aug 8th 5:03am EDT
Rui Hachimura paced the Wizards in Friday, scoring a team-high 23 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 FT) and adding six rebounds, two assists, one three-pointer, and one turnover across 38 minutes in a 118 -107 loss to the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact:
Hachimura shot 18% from the field on Wednesday but rebounded nicely in tonight's matchup against the Pelicans, shooting an impressive 63% on 10-of-16 shooting. He didn't do much else besides grabbing six rebounds, but this is still positive for Hachimura, who had seemed to hit the rookie wall in his five games in the bubble. Hachimura is still going through some growing pains and can't be trusted in DFS right now. Still, one thing is for sure, the Wizards are the worst team in the bubble and will be playing from behind often for the remainder of the seeding games - which could help Hachimura get some solid garbage time production going forward.
