Ball totaled 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and five steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 133-118 win over the Rockets.
Ball continues his strong scoring run and has now connected on at least three treys in five straight games. Coby White's return has added another scorer to a loaded backcourt, and while Ball is more likely to suffer than Zach LaVine (COVID-19 protocols) and Demar DeRozan, his defensive prowess and assist production preserve his floor.
