Kings' Rudy Gay: Drops 30 in Tuesday's OT loss

Gay scored 30 points (11-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding 12 rebounds and a steal in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 108-96 overtime loss to the Heat.

Analysis:

Gay has been outstanding to kick off a contract year, but this was his best outing of the season in terms of both points and rebounds. The 17.2 points per game Gay averaged in 2015-16 was his worst mark since his rookie campaign, but so far, new coach Dave Joerger's system seems to be agreeing quite well with the 30-year-old wing man. Gay has upped his averages to 23.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in 34.4 minutes per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor.
