Pacers' Paul George: Notches second straight double-double

George provided 25 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, three steals and one assist across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 109-94 win over the Suns.

Analysis:

George is only shooting 41.9 percent from the floor in his first three games back from the ankle injury, but he's been beastly on the defensive end, averaging 10.0 boards and 2.3 steals per game over that stretch. While the Pacers star has seen his per-game scoring, assist and three-point averages tail off from the career-best marks he posted in 2015-16, his uptick in rebounds and field-goal and free-throw percentages has allowed him to more or less maintain his fantasy value.
