Wizards' Bradley Beal: Does heavy lifting in Wall's absence

Beal totaled 33 points (13-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one block across 33 minutes during a 105-101 win over the Pistons on Monday.

Analysis:

Without John Wall (thigh) in the lineup, Beal went off for his best scoring total since March 10, which was also the last game he reached the 30-point mark. Scott Brooks had said that Beal's minutes would be limited, but the 33 minutes was close to his season average of 34.9 minutes per game. It wouldn't be shocking if Beal is rested in the team's final game against the Heat on Wednesday.
