Poor shooting performance Knueppel closed Friday's 118-100 loss to the Pistons with 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes.

Impact Knueppel remains in a tight race with Cooper Flagg to see who will win the Rookie of the Year award, but it's safe to say the former Duke sharpshooter has cooled off lately. Knueppel has failed to reach the 15-point mark in three straight games and in six of his last eight. Furthermore, Knueppel has been limited to two or fewer three-pointers made four times during that eight-game stretch. That's below-average for the rookie, who's shooting north of 42.5 percent from deep this season on nearly 8.0 attempts per game.

Impact Knueppel has been shooting the lights out over the past two games, compiling a total of 40 points and seven triples on 14-for-26 shooting from the field and 7-for-16 shooting from beyond the arc. He'll look to keep the hot shooting going Sunday in Minnesota.

Puts up 20 points Thursday Knueppel accumulated 20 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 win over Phoenix.

Impact Knueppel reached the 20-point mark after not doing so in the past three games, but perhaps the most important thing out of this performance is that he bounced back from deep after going 1-for-9 over the past two games. Knueppel is averaging 16.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 36.8 percent from deep over his last 10 appearances, so he remains productive even if his numbers are a bit down compared to the elite numbers he was putting up after the All-Star break.
