Thunder's Enes Kanter: Posts double-double in Sunday's win

Kanter contributed 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks, one assist, and one steal in 30 minutes during the Thunder's 101-92 win against the Pelicans on Sunday.

Analysis:

Kanter turned in his second double-double in the last three games, and he filled in well after Steven Adams exited in the first half with a sprained ankle. Kanter's 30 minutes were a season high, and this was his sixth double-double through 21 games in 2016-17. Though Joffrey Lauvergne started the second half in Adams' absence, Kanter was the main beneficiary, and the 24-year-old center figures to see the biggest uptick in minutes and production going forward in the event that Adams is forced to miss any time.
