Thunder's Victor Oladipo: Sets multiple season highs in Wednesday's win

Oladipo scored 29 points (12-18 FG, 5-7 3Pt) to go with 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes in Wednesday's 105-103 win over the Rockets.

Analysis:

Oladipo has largely been a disappointment since joining the Thunder following a blockbuster trade on draft day, but this was far and away his best outing of the season. He established season highs in points, rebounds and assists, and tied his top marks in three-pointers and steals, which may have been enough to regain the confidence of his fantasy owners. It's unlikely that Oladipo will be much of an asset in the assist category with Russell Westbrook usually setting up or finishing most of the team's baskets, but the 24-year-old should have plenty of 20-point games left in him, especially if he continues his early success from long range. While his numbers have lagged in most areas, Oladipo has at least been a reliable threat from the outside throughout the season, knocking down a career-high 2.2 treys per game and hitting them at a 41.3 percent clip.
