Aldridge compiled nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 22 minutes in Sunday's 111-95 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Nicolas Claxton drew the start under center, but Aldridge should see his fair share of time n the Nets' frontcourt. Blake Griffin had the night off, and while that should have positively affected Aldridge's usage, the absence had minimal effect. Depending on the opponent, the Nets will likely employ a larger frontcourt with Griffin and Aldridge instead of the small-ball approach they used in Sunday's defeat.
