Toronto Raptors rookie Terence Davis continued his recent hot play on Wednesday night by recording a career-high 15 points in a 114-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The undrafted guard from Ole Miss shot 5-of-10 from the field, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range, and finished with six rebounds in 30 minutes off of the bench, which marked his most time on the floor this season.
After logging just 54 total minutes in his first seven games of the season, Davis has played 81 minutes over his last four games for the Raptors. In his first extended work of the season, Davis has taken advantage of his opportunity, scoring 8.3 points per game over that time on 50% shooting from deep.
Davis got his hot recent play started by scoring 13 points against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, a game in which he hit a dagger over Kyle Kuzma to seal the win. Two games later, he dropped a career-high 15 points on the Trail Blazers.
Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has often used a short rotation this season, sometimes playing just nine players and it appears as though Davis has found a way to play meaningful minutes for a team coming off of its first NBA championship.
The 2019 NBA rookie class has produced several players that have seemingly come out of nowhere to contribute for their respective teams and it looks as though Davis is the latest to take advantage of his opportunity.
The Raptors wrap up their five-game road trip Saturday at Dallas.
