Big night from downtown
Carter posted 15 points (5-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes off the bench during Monday's 130-127 victory over the Nuggets.
Analysis
The five threes were a season high for Carter, albeit in only his fourth game, and it was his best showing from beyond the arc since March 31 of last season. The journeyman guard seems to have found a home as a depth option in the Chicago backcourt after playing for four different teams in his first five years in the NBA, but with Coby White (calf) getting close to resuming a full workload, Carter will likely head back to the end of the bench in short order.

Season-high 17 minutes
Carter finished with 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 124-113 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Carter had arguably his best game in the past 12 months, an indication of how muted his role has become. Chicago was once again without Josh Giddey (ankle), allowing Cater to move into a somewhat meaningful role. While it was great to see the veteran holding his own, this is likely nothing more than an outlier, based on what we have seen from him recently.
