Thunder's Cason Wallace: Ties career high in scoring Tuesday
Wallace posted 27 points (11-16 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during the Thunder's 116-107 win over the Raptors on Tuesday.
Wallace put together a productive stat line during Tuesday's win, leading the Thunder in both points and assists while finishing third in rebounds behind Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren (nine each). Wallace's 27 points tied a career high that he set Feb. 1 against the Nuggets, and the third-year pro has stepped into a more prominent role on offense in the absence of reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen). Wallace has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games and has averaged 12.8 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 threes and 2.4 steals over 30.0 minutes per game since Feb. 1.
