Jalen Wilson - Hits for season-high 17 on TuesdayWilson 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.
ImpactWith 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 winSchroder 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.
ImpactIt'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.

ImpactThe fourth-year guard has been dealing with a sore back that cost him two of the last three games, but Mann looked fit as he produced his best scoring performance since Nov. 1. The four made threes also tied his season high, and he's on pace for career-best numbers from beyond the arc, averaging 2.0 threes while shooting 42.1 percent from long distance to fuel his career-high 14.8 points a game.
