Joakim Noah sets season-highs with 19 points, 14 boards in Grizzlies' win
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Joakim Noah scored a season-high 19 points (8-of-14 field goals, 3-of-3 free throws) with a season-high 14 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 turnover in a season-high 30.3 minutes of a 99-90 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
What It Means:
It was Noah's best game of the season and first with 19 points and 14 boards since February 23, 2014. Jonas Valanciunas is expected to make his Grizzlies debut on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs, however, so Noah is unlikely to see as many minutes moving forward. Ivan Rabb is expected to start at the five.
Noah finished with a season-best 39.3 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 24.1 FanDuel points over the past six games, compared to 14.7 FanDuel points through 27 games overall.
