Here is the sixth man, Trey Lyles.

The sixth man in the game, Lyles had a bit of a break-out game for the Nuggets here.

After not getting much playing time early in the season, he played a total of 30 minutes in this game.

Lyles had 18 points off of the bench, on 6/9 shooting including 2/2 from deep, and three rebounds.

His plus-minus rating was a +12, so he was doing something right. I have to give him more credit for getting his break-out performance, and putting together a solid effort.

Final Grade: B+
