Trail Blazers' Maurice Harkless: Scores 17 in loss vs. Timberwolves

Harkless recorded 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 36 minutes in Monday's 110-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Harkless is riding a miniature scoring outburst, averaging 15.7 points on 64.5 percent from the field over his past three games. While those numbers are nice, it's more likely that he'll regress to his 10.1 season scoring average than keep up this pace for the remainder of the season.
