JaVale McGee scores 17 with 14 boards, 2 blocks off Lakers' bench
Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee scored 17 points (7-of-12 field goals, 3-of-3 free throws) with 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 2 turnovers in 26.8 minutes of a 121-105 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
What It Means:
McGee recorded his fifth double-double of the season and finished a rebound shy of his season-high. He came off the bench behind Ivica Zubac in this one, but the strong showing may earn him a starting spot for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers.
McGee scored 42.3 FanDuel points in the loss, his second-highest total of the season. He's averaging 26.6 FanDuel points overall (44 games).
