Scola recorded 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes in Thursday's 100-97 preseason loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Scola has tallied double-digit scoring efforts in all three of his preseason appearances, but it doesn't seem to have given him any momentum in the job battle at power forward. Trevor Booker has started all four of the Nets' exhibition contests at that position and delivered his best game Thursday night, recording a double-double of his own with 11 points and 12 boards. Scola looks like he'll open the season as Booker's primary backup, but both players could see the minutes at the power forward distributed relatively evenly between them.
