Jeremiah Fears extends 20-point streak in loss

For the first time in his young NBA career, Jeremiah Fears has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games. The rookie guard kept his streak alive during the loss to the Timberwolves, recording 20 points (8-of-17 FG, 2-of-2 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact

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.
