Wizards' Shabazz Napier scores 27 with 4 steals

Washington Wizards point guard Shabazz Napier scored 27 points (6-of-14 field goals, 11-of-14 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 4 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 39.7 minutes of a 100-89 loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday.

What It Means:

Napier completely took advantage of the absences of Ish Smith (hamstring) and Jerome Robinson (Achilles) in this one. He matched his season-high in points and threes and reached his career-highs in steals and made free throws. It was also the most free throw attempts Napier has ever taken in a game. He should be in line for another big workload on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks.

Napier scored a season-high 52.3 FanDuel points on Sunday. numberFire's models project him for 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.7 triples per game over the rest of the season.
