Ben McLemore News
Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore has had a perpetual green light from three-point range throughout his career. But he took that to a new level in Monday's loss to the Thunder, as he recorded 18 three-point attempts, the most during his nine years in the league. Fortunately for McLemore, he tied his season high with 28 points and eight made triples as well. Injuries have slimmed the Blazers' roster significantly, creating opportunity for the veteran after having previously served as a lightly used bench option earlier in the year. McLemore has averaged 18 PPG over his last seven contests and has been the team's No. 1 scoring option among the second unit, a role that is unlikely to change over Portland's final seven outings.
Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore returned from health and safety protocols with a 28-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Lakers, shooting 6-for-14 from downtown and 9-for-22 overall from the field. He added four rebounds in 30 minutes of action off the bench. McLemore now boasts two 28-point outings in his last four appearances. He is capable of racking up points in a hurry from deep, but the playing time isn't there for him on most nights. McLemore is averaging 14 minutes for the season, logging at least 20 minutes just five times in 18 appearances.
Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore ended up being one of the key figures in Friday's win over the Hornets, contributing 28 points in 27 minutes off the bench with 10-for-16 shooting. He had a fun time from outside, hitting 8-for-13. McLemore also tallied two rebounds with two steals and two turnovers. He exploded after posting back-to-back pointless games, so those who had the 28-year-old in their lineups will feel like lottery winners. Jackpots don't come along very often, though, and it's unlikely that McLemore can repeat his Friday's success in the upcoming games.
Houston Rockets guard/forward Ben McLemore (ankle) is available to play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. McLemore will make his return to the court after a two-game absence, but will have a ton of competition for minutes with the Rockets getting healthier. With John Wall (knee) back in action, Kevin Porter Jr. will be the main facilitator off the bench and Kenyon Martin Jr. should also see a big role. McLemore can be safely left on waivers in season long leagues.
