Scores 12 points off bench
Powell logged 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Powell turned in one of his better scoring outings of the season in Brooklyn's lopsided loss to the Pistons. The first-round pick scored roughly twice his season average. He led his team in minutes played off the bench with Michael Porter sidelined for personal reasons. As the rest of the season plays out, it's worth monitoring if Powell can pick up his production on a consistent basis.

Coming off bench Thursday
Powell is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Thursday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
The rookie first-rounder has started in each of his last eight outings, though he played just eight minutes during the Nets' 106-102 loss to the Suns on Tuesday. The Nets will roll with a starting lineup of Nolan Traore, Terance Mann, Michael Porter, Danny Wolf and Nic Claxton for Thursday's contest.

Goes invisible in loss
Powell had no counting stats over eight minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 loss to the Suns.
Analysis
Ziaire Williams and Cam Thomas ended up playing the lion's share of the minutes at shooting guard Tuesday. Powell appears to have a tenuous hold on the starting role that he's had for the past eight games, during which the rookie first-rounder has averaged 7.1 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 22.1 minutes per contest.
