Trail Blazers' Maurice Harkless: Posts big double-double in win over Pelicans

Harkless submitted 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes in Friday's 119-104 win over the Pelicans.

Analysis:

That's six games in a row with double-digit scoring for Harkless, who has averaged 14.0 points (on 51.5% shooting), 7.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes per game over that stretch. The presence of high-volume shooters in Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum will prevent Harkless from surpassing the 20-point mark very frequently, but the young forward seems to be settling in quite nicely as a complementary scorer, and supplements his point production well with decent marks in most other rotisserie categories.
