Player of the Game

QUINCY ACY. B+. Quincy Acy continued to prove that he belongs in the NBA. With Justin Hamilton out with an illness, Acy shined off the bench. He shot well both inside and from behind the three-point line, mixing drives and shooting. He may not have rebounded well, but Acy continues to impress each time on the floor.. SF/PF. Brooklyn Nets

Wildcard

B. The Nets had only three players score in double digits against the Jazz. Sean Kilpatrick did a decent job, scoring 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting. He took it to the basket a few times and was fearless, not turning the ball over. With Joe Harris probable against the Trail Blazers after a rough fall, Kilpatrick will need to step up to provide instant scoring off the bench.. SG. Brooklyn Nets. SEAN KILPATRICK

C+. After a great game in a win against the Kings, Jeremy Lin struggled against George Hill and the Jazz. In his limited minutes, Hill was able to get anything he wanted on offense. Lin had three turnovers, committed five fouls, and scored seven points in an overall disappointing game. He will look to bounce back against Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night.. PG. Brooklyn Nets. JEREMY LIN
