Jalen Wilson - Hits for season-high 17 on Tuesday Wilson ended with 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 victory over Charlotte.
Impact With Cam Thomas (back) sidelined, Wilson made his first start of the season and set new season highs in points and made three-pointers. The second-year wing has handled a bigger role than he did as a rookie, and his production has nudged up as well. Through 15 appearances, Wilson is averaging 9.2 points, 3.3 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.3 threes in 22.5 minutes a contest.

Dennis Schröder - Double-double in Tuesday's win Schroder had 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 win over the Hornets.
Impact It's the second double-double of the season for the veteran guard, with the other coming back on Oct, 29. Schroder's offense has slowed down after a hot start to the campaign -- he dropped 20 or more points in seven of his first 10 games but has failed to deliver more than 16 in any of the last five contests, averaging 13.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 boards, 2.0 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting just 35.6 percent from the floor and 31.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Impact Johnson took on an increased offensive burden with Cam Thomas (back) out for Tuesday's contest. The 28-year-old forward was able to capitalize on having the ball in his hands more by posting a season-high 34 points in a narrow victory. Johnson is proving yet again to be an elite outside shooter, converting 39.3 percent of his 7.8 three-point attempts per game.
