Collin Sexton scores team high 27 points against the Celtics

Collin Sexton recorded 27 points (11-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Cleveland's 103-96 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.

Fantasy Implications: Sexton had failed to score 20 or more points in his previous 27 games, dating back to December 8. The 20-year-old rookie had been struggling from the field, shooting only 35.1 percent from the field and 35.1 percent behind the three-point arc while only contributing an average of 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.6 steals during that span. Fantasy owners can only hope that Tuesday night's fine effort will be something that Sexton can build upon for the rest of the season.
