Theo Maledon News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Strong scoring off bench Maledon had 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 110-108 win over Minnesota.

Impact Maledon scored in double digits for just the third time in 18 games this season, and he did so Friday in an efficient fashion. He also recorded a season-high seven boards in the win. Maledon has shown that he's capable of the occasional scoring outburst, but he's averaging only 5.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists so far this season.

Best performance of season Monday Maledon notched 14 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 112-105 victory over the Magic.

Impact Taking advantage of Dennis Smith's (ankle) absence and James Bouknight playing only four minutes, Maledon had his best performance of the season despite LaMelo Ball being available. His play was an outlier, and fantasy managers don't need to take action. For his career, Maledon averages a modest 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per 36 minutes, and he will head back to being a depth piece once Smith is back.

Secures two rebounds in loss Maledon totaled zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in eight minutes during Thursday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Heat.

Impact Although the Hornets went into overtime during Thursday's defeat, Maledon had minimal playing time and was held scoreless for a third consecutive game. He averaged 7.1 points per game for the Thunder last year but is averaging just 3.8 points in 12.8 minutes per game over his first 12 appearances with the Hornets.

Near perfect shooting Wednesday Maledon notched 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 134-131 overtime loss to New York.

Impact Seven of Maledon's 15 points came in three minutes in the third quarter as he nailed a three and later scored on consecutive possessions. The 21-year-old has been known to score in bunches, as he did at the end of the season last year while playing for the Thunder, averaging 22.3 points in one five-game span. After playing just four minutes over the season's first two games, he's gotten at least 15 minutes of playing time in each of the last two contests and may be in line for a bigger role as the season progresses.

Impact After playing with the Thunder for his first two seasons in the league, Maledon is set to join a Houston squad that has limited depth in their backcourt. The 21-year-old averaged 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 22.6 minutes of action over his two seasons with Oklahoma City. Maledon figures to see minutes behind Kevin Porter and Jalen Green this upcoming season.

Scores season-high 28 points Maledon notched 28 points (10-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 110-101 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Maledon scored at least 20 points for a fourth time over his past five appearances and has averaged 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.0 minutes per game during that stretch. With Tre Mann nursing a hamstring injury and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) out for the season, Maledon figures to continue garnering a sizable role during the final weeks of the season.

Sniffs double-double Maledon had 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 136-118 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Maledon had a strong all-around game and ended just two dimes shy of posting what would've been his second double-double of the season. In fact, the eight assists tied Maledon's season-best output in that category, and it's also worth noting that he has scored 18 or more points in each of his last four appearances.

Registers double-double in win Maledon chipped in 23 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes during Monday's 134-131 overtime win over Portland.

Impact Maledon continued his strong play down the stretch for OKC, finishing as one of three Thunder players with 20-plus points and pacing the squad with 10 boards. The second-year guard got the start in place of Tre Mann, who missed the game with a hamstring injury. This was Maledon's third straight game with at least 20 points, and he is averaging 22.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.7 three-pointers over that span. He could be a sneaky fantasy add with OKC out of playoff contention and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) ruled out for the season.

Leads way for OKC in narrow loss Maledon had 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Maledon moved into the starting lineup for the first time in nearly two weeks, and the move paid dividends as the point guard paced the Thunder with 20 points. This was Maledon's second straight strong performance as a scorer, coming on the heels of a 25-point, 9-for-13 effort against Orlando on Wednesday. Maledon could stick in the starting lineup moving forward given his recent strong play, though his overall body of work this season suggests that the hot streak could come to an end at any time.
