Splashes eight treysGeorge racked up 28 points (8-17 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-103 win over the Pelicans.
ImpactGeorge was sensational from beyond the arc and got after it defensively as well. He didn't play all that many minutes given the blowout nature of the game but still turned in a pretty impressive stat line nonetheless. George will look to build on this showing heading into Tuesday's matchup versus the Suns.

Scores 15 in 20 minutesJackson generated 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-103 win over the Pelicans.
ImpactJackson was efficient offensively while making an impact in multiple categories. He'll need to keep making open outside shots if he's going to maintain a steady role throughout the restart. Patrick Beverley has been on a minutes restriction while Lou Williams (not injury related) may return for the team's next game, so Tuesday's tilt against the Suns and the contests thereafter may shed some light on Jackson's role as the playoffs draw nearer.

Needs more time at practiceCoach Monty Williams said that Baynes needs more five-on-five practice reps before playing in a game, but that it's tough to get those reps because the Suns play every other day, D...
ImpactBaynes wasn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's opener against the Wizards, but he didn't see the floor. Considering what coach Williams noted, it's unclear when we may see Baynes take the court in the bubble. For the duration of his absence, we should see Frank Kaminsky rack up minutes as the backup center.
