EDGE Analysis

The six-year veteran was on another level Thursday, setting a career-high in scoring, while also draining a career-best six three-pointers. The performance capped a recent offensive resurgence for Aminu, who's now tallied double-digit points in five of his last six contests. He also was outstanding on the glass, and has averaged 8.4 rebounds over his last five games. With Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum frequently spearheading the scoring, outings of this caliber should not be expected from Aminu, but he does seem to finally be fully integrated into the Blazers' offensive system as the regular season winds down.
