Booker took the offensive lead with Eric Bledsoe dealing with a hyperextended
knee, eclipsing the 20-point mark for the second straight game in the process.
The second-year sharpshooter boosted his overall usage Thursday, as he took over
20 shot attempts for only the second time in the eight games since the All-Star
break. Booker’s rebounding has also seen a notable bump in March, as he’s hauled
in at least six boards in four of five contests during the month, leading to an
average of 5.6 rebounds over that span. It remains to be seen if that level of
production will endure, considering he hasn’t averaged more than 3.3 rebounds in
any other month this season.
