Nets' Brook Lopez: Collects double-double in Tuesday's loss

Lopez scored 30 points (10-25 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 125-118 loss to the Nets.

Analysis:

It was a very high-usage game for Lopez, who had been rested in the first half of the Nets' back-to-back set during Monday's loss to the Clippers. With Jeremy Lin (hamstring) out again, Lopez did the heavy lifting on both ends of the court, with his career-high-tying four three-pointers making his stat line all the more appetizing. It's already the second time this season Lopez has produced a 30-10 game, but his consistency has been something of an issue for the center. Still, the 30-point outing boosted his season scoring average to 20.6 points per game, right in line with what he provided in 2015-16.
