Babbitt took advantage of available minutes Monday with J.J. Hickson riding the pine, knocking down two three-pointers in the final two minutes of regulation during Portland's 23-5 run to send the game to overtime, and another trey in overtime to give the Blazers the lead for good in win at Charlotte.

Overall, Babbitt shot 3-of-4 from three-point range en route to nine points, adding five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 15 minutes. He earned the second-most run from the reserve unit after Meyers Leonard, who notched 17 minutes. Babbitt has now received double-digit minutes in three consecutive contests, his first such occurrences this season, yet it remains to be seen if his increased playing time will continue to hold.
