Luguentz Dort was stellar on Wednesday night, dropping 27 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3P, 7-8 FT) to go with four rebounds, one assist, and a block across 36 minutes as the Thunder eliminated the Pelicans in the Play-In tournament to the tune of 123-118.
Fantasy Impact
For all of the scoring inconsistency Dort provided during the regular season, the man came up clutch when the Thunder needed him on Wednesday night. Dort led the team in scoring to kick off the bout, notching a career-high 13 first quarter points, and finished with a solid 57% shooting effort. The Thunder will need Dort to replicate this kind of effort on Friday, as they head to Minnesota to take on the Wolves for the Western Conference's 8-seed.
