It was a career night on Sunday evening for Bones Hyland as his career-high 29 points helped lead the Denver Nuggets to a 98-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. After losing to the Mavericks just two days prior, Hyland and the Nuggets bounced back in a big way and found a way to win without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon in the lineup.
Hyland’s 29 points came in 35 minutes off the bench as he shot 10-of-21 from the field, 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line. Not only did he score the ball, but Hyland also dished out six assists and hauled in three rebounds as he continues to become not only a rising star with the Nuggets, but throughout the NBA as well.
