Knueppel accumulated 20 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 win over Phoenix.

Knueppel reached the 20-point mark after not doing so in the past three games, but perhaps the most important thing out of this performance is that he bounced back from deep after going 1-for-9 over the past two games. Knueppel is averaging 16.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 36.8 percent from deep over his last 10 appearances.

Castle chipped in 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 win over the Clippers.

The second-year guard scored at least 20 points for the third time in the last four games, as he puts a minor mid-March hip issue behind him. Over six contests since returning from the injury, Castle is averaging 18.7 points, 8.5 assists, 6.5 boards, 2.0 threes and 0.7 steals while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor and 48.0 percent from beyond the arc.

White contributed 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 win over the Suns.

White continues to put up solid numbers off the bench for the Hornets, and this was his 10th consecutive game in which he scored in double digits. Over that 10-game stretch, White is averaging 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. White remains a valuable fantasy contributor in most formats due to his scoring prowess, and his involvement on offense is more important than how many minutes he plays.

Fox notched 22 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 win over the Clippers.

The 22 points led the Spurs on the night, as Fox stepped up while Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sat out the second game of a back-to-back. Fox has scored 20-plus points only twice in his last 10 appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 15.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.0 threes while shooting just 25.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Camara amassed 23 points (8-15 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 win over the Pelicans.

The third-year wing has been locked in from long range of late, as he takes on a bigger role in the Blazers' offense while Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) remains sidelined. Camara has drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight games, averaging 18.9 points, 4.9 boards, 4.3 threes, 1.9 steals and 1.6 assists over that span while shooting 55.0 percent from the floor and 52.6 percent from downtown.

Avdija supplied 26 points (7-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 victory over New Orleans.

The 25-year-old forward scored at least 20 points for a fourth straight game, and the ninth time in 14 contests since he returned from a back issue in early March. During that latter stretch, Avdija is averaging 22.1 points, 6.9 boards, 6.9 assists, 1.1 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks, but he's still struggling to find the range on his jumper, shooting just 21.4 percent from long distance.

Holiday ended with 27 points (10-22 FG, 7-15 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 victory over the Pelicans.

The 27 points led all scorers on the night as Holiday continues to fill up the bucket from downtown. The veteran guard has drained at least three three-pointers in five straight games, averaging 20.8 points, 4.8 assists, 4.8 threes, 4.2 boards and 1.0 steals over that surge while shooting 49.0 percent (24-for-49) from beyond the arc.

Gobert recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 loss to the Pistons.

Gobert didn't have a big role on offense, attempting only three shots throughout 27 minutes, and he was unable to stop Jalen Duren, who had a massive 22-point, 14-rebound double-double. Gobert had scored at least 14 points in five of his previous six contests before Thursday, so there's a chance this was just a down game for the veteran.

Queen closed with 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-106 loss to Portland.

The seven dimes represented Queen's best effort in that category since Feb. 4. The rookie center has scored in double digits in four straight games as his usage ticks back up, averaging 12.3 points, 7.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over that span in 24.0 minutes a contest.

Randle totaled 27 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 loss to the Pistons.

Randle had to step up offensively due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee), and the veteran forward responded with a 27-point effort. It was his best scoring output since March 17, when he had 32 points in a win over the Suns. Randle has scored at least 24 points in three of his last four appearances, and he should remain the Timberwolves' No. 1 option on offense as long as Edwards isn't 100 percent healthy.
