Jeremiah Fears Is Scoring 23.6 a Night Over His Last 10
A rookie averaging 14.3 points this season has scored 9.3 more a game across his last 10.
Jeremiah Fears is averaging 23.6 points a game over his last 10 games. That is 9.3 points above his season mark of 14.3 for the Pelicans in 2025-26, through the game on April 12, 2026.
The gap matters because it is not a small bump. Fears is playing 25.8 minutes a night for the season, so the scoring jump is not simply the product of more minutes on the books so far. A stretch like this, on roughly the same minutes base, points to him doing more with the time he gets.
For the surge to hold, Fears needs to keep producing at this level as the rest of the schedule plays out, rather than have it fade back toward his season average. The Pelicans have 82 games on the schedule in 2025-26, so there is a real sample left to watch. If the season mark of 14.3 starts climbing toward 23.6 over the final stretch, that tells you the higher level is becoming his real level, not a hot streak.
If it changes, expect the number to settle back toward 14.3, the mark set across the full season. A single 10-game window can move fast in either direction. The way to tell a real jump from a hot streak is whether the next 10 games look like the last 10, or look like the season that came before them.
