Julius Randle Records Double-Double Against Jazz
Julius Randle posted a double-double in Tuesday's loss to the Utah Jazz. He finished with 12 points on 3-for-9 shooting and grabbed 12 rebounds. Randle had nine assists in the game, coming up just short of his second triple-double of the year. Randle now has a double-double in six of his last seven games. He'll look to continue that on Wednesday against the Spurs, but it might be tough sledding against a San Antonio team that allows the ninth fewest rebounds per game. Still, Randle has been a consistent player lately and should have a solid floor.

Julius Randle Continues To Excel Against Warriors
Julius Randle posted a game-high 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting in Monday's 117-110 win over the Golden State Warriors. The three-time All-Star finished 4-for-8 from behind the arc and recorded five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block as Minnesota jumped to a 3-1 lead in the series. The Timberwolves are now just one win away from reaching their second consecutive Conference Finals, with Randle playing a significant role in the team's success. After a quiet performance in the series opener, which Minnesota lost 99-88 on home court, Randle has averaged 26.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.3 steals over the past three games.

Julius Randle Leads Timberwolves In Scoring In Game 2
Julius Randle posted a team-high 27 points on 9-for-17 shooting in Tuesday's 94-85 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. After settling for 16 points in the series opener, Randle already had 15 points by halftime and finished with his postseason career high, making 2-for-4 from deep and 7-for-9 at the line. Randle had a major role as a playmaker as well, registering six of Minnesota's 14 assists in the game. He also notched four rebounds, one steal, and one block. As a former Laker, success in the matchup would be especially meaningful for Randle, and he has started the series well. Ahead of Game 3, the 30-year-old boasts a 60 percent success rate from three-point range, with averages of 21.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

Julius Randle Active On Wednesday Evening
Julius Randle (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. The former Knick missed time because of a groin injury. Fortunately, he returned for the March 2 meeting with the Suns. He played well in that one, finishing with 20 points before dropping 16 points on the Sixers on Tuesday night. With that said, Randle is a must-start for the favorable matchup versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association.

Julius Randle Questionable Versus Philadelphia
Julius Randle (groin) is questionable heading into Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. The former Knick missed 13 games because of a groin injury. But he was back in the lineup for Sunday's win over Phoenix, amassing 20 points and six boards in 33 minutes. With Minnesota playing back-to-back contests on Tuesday and Wednesday, it's possible Randle misses one of those contests. As a result, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 40.6% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup.
