Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Puts up another 20-point game
Julius Randle finished with 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 loss to Sacramento.Randle has now scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, a stretch in which he's averaging 24.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers per contest. His 2.9 turnovers per game on the season as a whole are problematic for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, but Randle is shooting 80.3 percent from the foul line in 18 games this year following Wednesday's perfect night at the charity stripe, which would be his highest mark since the 2020-21 campaign. Still, the 29-year-old star forward remains a more appealing fantasy option overall in points leagues as he continues to acclimate to life in Minnesota after spending the past five years with the Knicks.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Disappointing numbers Tuesday
Julius Randle produced 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.The Minnesota Timberwolves didn't perform well as a group Tuesday, but there's a solid argument to say Randle was among the most disappointing players in this 14-point defeat. Randle continues to adjust to a new team, teammates and scheme following his offseason trade from New York to Minnesota, and the lack of consistency remains an issue even if he has had some decent games from time to time. He's failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances, however, averaging 17.0 points and shooting 42.6 percent from the field in that span.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Adjustment to new team continues
Julius Randle totaled 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 95-94 loss to the Heat.The veteran forward continues to put up solid, if somewhat disappointing, numbers for the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Randle's efficiency has gone up -- he's shooting 53.1 percent from the floor, his best mark since 2017-18, and 40.9 percent from three-point range, his best performance since 2020-21 -- his usage has gone down compared to his last few years with the Knicks, and he has yet to attempt 20 shots in a game for Minnesota. Randle's 6.7 boards a game is also on pace for a career low, as he's never finished a season below 8.0. As the third wheel on a team with Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert in well-defined roles, this level of production may be the new normal for Randle.
