Paces Brooklyn in loss
Traore totaled 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 115-110 loss to Indiana.
Analysis
After recording his first career double-double in Monday's win over Chicago, Traore led Brooklyn in scoring Wednesday. The rookie first-rounder finished one point shy of tying his career high and has reached the 20-point mark three times this season. His eight assists against Indiana were also a game-best mark. The 19-year-old point guard has scored in double figures in four straight games and has started each of Brooklyn's last eight. With the Nets near the bottom of the standings in the Eastern Conference, he'll likely continue to see significant burn moving forward.

Secures first career double-double
Traore produced 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 123-115 victory over Chicago.
Analysis
Traore scored in double figures for a third straight game Monday, but his more impressive achievement came in the assist column. He set a season high with 13 assists, resulting in the first double-double of his young NBA career. Traore has stepped up as a facilitator of late, as he's averaging 5.7 assists in his last seven appearances after dishing out 2.7 assists per game in his first 23 outings of the year.

Nets 21 points with seven assists
Traore closed Thursday's 118-98 loss to the Magic with 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes.
Analysis
Traore tied his career highs in points and assists, becoming the first Nets rookie to record at least 20 points and seven assists in a game since MarShon Brooks did so in March of 2012. Traore has shown flashes this season but has struggled to put everything together consistently. Still, with the Nets sitting at 13-36, the rookie should see nothing but opportunity over the second half of the season.
