After making his Nets debut on Dec. 10, Dinwiddie moved into the starting lineup on Jan. 13 and started 15 of 18 games over the next month. Against the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 15, he put together his finest game as a pro, with a season-high 19 points and eight assists against zero turnovers. That was one game after he knocked down a career- high four 3-pointers against Memphis. In his last 18 games before the break, Dinwiddie shot 50 percent (18 for 36) from 3-point range. And over the last three games, he had 17 assists to just one turnover.

The blocks matched a career high for Lopez, but the combo was indicative of his stellar season. At the break he was one of just four NBA players with more than 80 3-pointers and 80 blocks and one of just three averaging at least 20 points, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. Lopez, who earlier this season became the franchise’s career leader in blocks, ranked seventh in the NBA with 1.8 blocks per game going into the All- Star break.
