Hunter Dickinson - Back-to-back 20-point gamesDickinson posted 20 points (9-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 33 minutes during Saturday's 86-67 victory over Texas.
ImpactIt was the second consecutive 20-point outing for Dickinson and the 13th time he's reached that mark on the season. Kansas was recently dealt a significant blow when coach Bill Self announced that star wing Kevin McCullar might miss the rest of the year with a knee injury, so it's possible even more of the scoring responsibility could fall on Dickinson down the stretch. That's not great for the team's outlook, but fantasy managers relying on Dickinson in the postseason will surely benefit from even greater usage.

Nicolas Timberlake - Picking up McCullar's minutesTimberlake ended Saturday's 86-67 win over Texas with 13 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
ImpactTimberlake has now started three games this year, each in place of Kevin McCullar, who is currently considered week-to-week with a knee injury and may even miss the rest of the season. In those three games started, Timberlake has put up eight, 13 and 13 points. There's no secret Timberlake hasn't had much of an impact for the Jayhawks this year after averaging 17.7 ppg last season at Towson, but the sixth-year player at least appears to have an opportunity to correct course on the horizon, even if he has massive shoes to fill. He could be a late-season add for fantasy managers in need of scoring and three-point shooting.

Kevin McCullar - Could be done for seasonKansas head coach Bill Self acknowledged after Saturday's 86-67 win over Texas that he's uncertain if McCullar (knee) will be able to play again this season, Michael Swain of 247Sp...
ImpactMcCullar was sidelined for the fourth time in seven games Saturday due to a bone bruise on his knee, and Self suggested that the fifth-year senior forward is week-to-week after aggravating the injury in Kansas' Feb. 17 win over Oklahoma. Given that McCullar was unable to participate in any basketball-related activities leading up to the game against Texas, he can safely be ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with BYU, and quite possibly, additional games to follow.
