Raptors' Cory Joseph: Explodes for career-high 33 in Tuesday's start

Joseph started at point guard and scored 33 points (15-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding four rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Nets.

Analysis:

With Kyle Lowry (rest) getting the night off, Joseph stepped into the starting lineup for the Raptors and provided a very credible Lowry impression, setting a new career high in scoring in the process. Joseph will presumably return to the bench Wednesday against the 76ers, but should anything happen to Lowry, he's shown that he can produce some impressive numbers when given major minutes.
