Ty Lawson:

Lawson scored 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) with three rebounds, seven assists, and two steals during Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Lawson has stepped up his scoring in January, putting up 20 points or more in six out the eight games this month along with four double-doubles. While he leads the league in assists (10.1 assists per game), his low free throw percentage (71.6 percent) and lack of scoring from beyond the arc have him ranked outside the top 10 among point guards this season.
