Lakers' Luol Deng: Turns in another strong outing Monday

Deng scored 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT) to go with four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Monday's 116-92 loss to the Kings.

Analysis:

One night after posting a season-high 22 points, Deng continued to stay hot, finishing as the Lakers' second-leading scorer in the blowout loss. Given that Deng hit double figures in the scoring column just seven times in the preceding 25 games, fantasy owners shouldn't count on him maintaining this recent surge, but he'll at least be worth keeping active until he predictably cools off.
