Randle accumulated four points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 94-88 win over the Clippers.

Randle sank only one of his 10 shot attempts in the win, leaving one to wonder if his thumb injury continues to be an issue. There's no evidence that he re-aggravated the injury, but the season-low total is definitely uncharacteristic for the standout big man. It's the only time this season that Randle failed to reach a double-digit scoring total.

Plumlee became a free agent Friday after his 10-day contract with the Spurs expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Plumlee didn't make any appearances for San Antonio over his 10-day stint with the team, as the Spurs had listed him out ahead of each of their last five games for return-to-competition reconditioning. The veteran center looks to have fully recovered from the right groin surgery he underwent in late December, but it's unclear if the Spurs intend to bring him back on a second 10-day deal.

Edwards closed with 31 points (12-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 94-88 win over the Clippers.

Edwards returned to the Intuit Dome after winning MVP honors during the All-Star Game in the arena earlier this month and produced the team's highest scoring total Thursday. He was responsible for 31 of the team's 94 points in a slow-paced matchup, and he got there via 24 shot attempts. He didn't get much support from his teammates, as the rest of the starting lineup managed only 37 points.

Harkless supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans.

The Jazz will likely keep Harkless with the parent club for at least another week, and his tenure could be permanent, as the UNLV product has 40 more games of eligibility under his current deal. The recent hamstring injury appears to be a non-issue, and he'll likely see significant minutes if Keyonte George's ankle injury persists.

Sensabaugh finished Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans with 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

With several absences throughout the Jazz's roster, Sensabaugh was able to put in 25 minutes of work with the second unit. The third-year pro kept the good vibes going after posting 26 points in the loss against Houston, and his recent results have been equally impressive. He's averaged 17.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists over the past nine games.

Bailey ended Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans with 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

Bailey stepped up amid Lauri Markkanen's (hip) absence and provided the team's highest point total. Although he failed to make an impact against Houston earlier in the week, he hit for 20 points against Memphis following the All-Star break. The low total against the Rockets snapped a seven-game streak of double-digit scoring results, but he seems to be back on track.

Williamson produced 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 victory over the Jazz.

Williamson had his way against Utah's shorthanded frontcourt in the decisive win, and his total would have likely been higher if he had stayed in the game during the closing minutes. Although the team's playoff hopes are thwarted, they've racked up a three-game win streak thanks to strong performances from Williamson and Saddiq Bey.

Murray ended Thursday's 129-118 victory over Utah with 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals across 26 minutes.

Murray turned in another solid total in his second game following a one-year absence, and he's showing no lingering effects of the Achilles injury or extended time off. However, the Pelicans will probably play it safe with Murray at some point during the upcoming back-to-back set, and he continues to operate under a minutes limit despite starting his first two appearances of the campaign.

Bey posted 42 points (14-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 win over the Jazz.

Bey could do no wrong in the decisive win, proving to be an excellent replacement for Trey Murphy's (shoulder) missing production. Bey has been a critical piece of the puzzle for the Pelicans since the All-Star break, averaging 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists over the last four games.

James totaled 15 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

James shot below 50 percent from the floor in the loss and missed all three of his three-point attempts in the narrow defeat. James has scored 15 points or fewer in two of the four games following the All-Star break, but his secondary numbers have salvaged the below-average scoring totals.
