For the first time in his young NBA career, Jeremiah Fears has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games.

Fears appears to be turning a corner after a rocky start to the season, emerging as a bright spot for a Pelicans team that has struggled to a 3-20 record. His role as the primary playmaker could expand even further in the near future, as backup Jose Alvarado is currently playing through a left wrist injury.

Jeremiah Fears continued his recent offensive surge against the Timberwolves, scoring 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting. The rookie point guard also contributed five assists, three rebounds, one block, and a three-pointer.

This performance marks a significant milestone for the youngster, as he has now eclipsed the 20-point barrier in consecutive contests for the first time in his career. While scoring efficiency has historically been a weak point for Fears, he has displayed improved touch recently, shooting better than 50 percent from the field in back-to-back outings while maintaining ball security with just four total turnovers during that span.

Jeremiah Fears delivered one of his strongest performances of the season during Sunday's loss to the Lakers, registering his fourth 20-point outing of the campaign.

Although his fantasy production has been inconsistent for much of the year, Fears' secure role as the starting point guard keeps him on the radar for deep-league managers willing to take a risk. He will look to build on this effort as the Pelicans embark on a three-game slate in Week 7, beginning with matchups against the Timberwolves on Tuesday and Thursday.
