JT Thor - Solid output in starting roleThor closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-100 loss to the Raptors.
ImpactThor drew reasonably close to a double-double in Tuesday's contest and showed some ability to protect the rim with a pair of swats. He's averaging 10.0 points, 3.6 boards and a block per contest over the last 10 games and should continue to see healthy minutes over the last two regular-season games as the Hornets sit the regulars in the rotation.

Will Barton - Scores 20 in victoryBarton posted 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-100 win over the Hornets.
ImpactBarton returned from a three-game absence Tuesday and was productive off the bench, posting his third-highest scoring total of the season with an efficient performance from beyond the arc. However, Tuesday's matchup marked the first time he had scored in double figures since Feb. 6, and he's averaged just 4.2 points in 12.4 minutes per game over his last 14 appearances.

Svi Mykhailiuk - Continues to produceMykhailiuk closed with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-100 loss to the Raptors.
ImpactMykhailiuk has started the last six contests for Charlotte and has totaled 16 or more points in each of the last four, hitting at a 44.4 percent rate from deep over that span while averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals-plus-blocks. He will likely finish out the campaign in a starting role, but it's not a stretch that should be viewed as a foreshadowing of things to come in 2023-24.
