Nets' Brook Lopez: Scores game-high 29 in Tuesday's win

Lopez scored 29 points (13-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT) while adding seven rebounds and an assist in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 98-96 win over the Pistons.

Analysis:

The 28-year-old has scored at least 20 points in six straight games, averaging 25.5 points, 6.0 boards and 3.0 three-pointers during that stretch while leading the lowly Nets to a surprising 3-3 record as they attempt to play spoiler in the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn doesn't have any other reliable offensive options -- rookie Caris LeVert was their second-leading scorer Tuesday with 15 points -- so expect Lopez to get plenty of usage down the stretch.
