Keep up with the latest injuries from the Timberwolves vs Warriors game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 9, 2025
Sniffs double-double in loss
Randle amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight assists and three rebounds over 37 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Randle put up a season-low 11 field-goal attempts but still finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer. The star forward has been efficient of late, scoring 21 or more points in four of his last five games while shooting 50.7 percent from the field over that stretch. He also recorded a game-high eight assists and has dished out at least six in four of his last five appearances.
Dec 7, 2025
Strikes for 24 against Clippers
Randle contributed 24 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward has scored in double digits in every game this season, but he's cooled down a bit since a strong beginning to 2025-26. Over his last 13 games, Randle's shooting just 44.9 percent from the floor while averaging 21.2 points, 7.4 boards, 5.7 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals, and he's reached 30 points only once -- a mark he hit four times in his first eight contests.
Dec 4, 2025
Nets 28 points with nine boards
Randle logged 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Randle had just eight points in regulation during Tuesday's overtime win over the Pelicans, but he was much more aggressive in Thursday's rematch, dropping in 10 points in the first quarter of play. Randle also saw some more shots falling his way with Anthony Edwards getting into some early foul trouble, and he bounced back from three-point range after missing all three of his trey-balls his last time out.
Dec 1, 2025
Double-double in win over Spurs
Randle closed with 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 125-112 win over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was the sixth of the season for Randle, but his first that involved assists and not rebounds. The veteran forward puts a solid November in the books having averaged 21.8 points, 7.9 boards, 6.2 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 steals over 15 games.
Nov 27, 2025
Struggles in loss to Thunder
Randle contributed 10 points (2-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Randle couldn't get anything going against Oklahoma City's elite defense, but he wasn't the only Minnesota player who struggled. The Wolves missed 15 free throws in the eight-point loss and went 1-for-7 from the floor over the final three minutes of the game, while committing three turnovers. Randle was responsible for one of those turnovers, failing to inbound the ball with Minnesota down by five and 26.8 seconds left in regulation, and this was the third time in his past six outings against the Thunder that Randle was held to two or fewer made field goals.
Nov 25, 2025
Logs third double-double in OT loss
Randle finished Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings with 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves fought hard to keep up at the baseline, but standout nights from DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray proved to be a tough test for Randle and Rudy Gobert. Despite another late collapse by Minnesota's defense, Randle is playing at an extremely high level. Along with three double-doubles, Randle also has two triple-doubles to his credit.
Nov 19, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Randle popped off for 32 points (11-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle was held to a season-low 12 points on 4-for-16 shooting his last time out, so it was nice to see him bounce back in a big way Wednesday evening. This was Randle's fourth double-double of the season, and the Wolves' second straight win. Minnesota has not lost a game this season when Randle has notched a double-double.
Nov 16, 2025
Well-rounded performance in loss
Randle logged 26 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-112 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Randle delivered another productive performance Saturday, stuffing the stat sheet in the loss. However, the 30-year-old struggled from three-point range once again and has shot just 28.6 percent from downtown in his last five games. Still, he led the Timberwolves in assists and matched the team lead in points. The star forward also tallied multiple steals for the second time in his last three games.
Nov 15, 2025
Posts double-double Friday
Randle totaled 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 124-110 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Edwards led the way for the Timberwolves with a 30-point performance, but Randle had an excellent game as well with a double-double -- his first of the season. Points and rebounds aside, Randle also notched at least five dimes for the fourth time in his last six games. The star forward has been an excellent complement for Edwards on offense and should remain a valuable fantasy option in all formats due to his strong start to the season. He has scored at least 20 points in eight of his 12 regular-season contests to date while adding at least seven rebounds in eight outings as well.
Nov 11, 2025
Scores 27 in win
Randle registered 27 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 120-113 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Randle was productive in all facets Monday, posting 27 points while contributing on the glass, as a facilitator and defensively. The power forward has maintained a strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 23.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.4 steals over Minnesota's past five games. While Anthony Edwards drives the offense, Randle remains a key focal point capable of delivering big performances.
Nov 10, 2025
Hits for 19 in win over Kings
Randle recorded 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 144-117 victory over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward has arguably been the most stable fantasy asset in the NBA to begin the season. Randle's 19 points Sunday is his low-water mark through 10 games, and he's failed to pick up at least one block or steal only once in those contests. In 33.2 minutes a game, he's averaging 25.2 points, 7.1 boards, 6.1 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor and what would be a career-high 41.2 percent from three-point range.
Nov 8, 2025
Triple-doubles in win Friday
Randle supplied 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 137-97 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Edwards led the way in scoring for the Timberwolves with a 37-point outburst, but even though Randle took a step back in scoring, he still posted an impressive stat line. Randle has recorded two triple-doubles in his last three games, and he's also been a consistent scoring weapon -- he's posted at least 19 points in every game so far. Through nine contests, Randle is averaging 25.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Nov 5, 2025
Scores 32 points with four dimes
Randle popped off for 32 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three turnovers in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
As good as Randle was on the offensive end in this one, he could have done a better job on the glass, and the turnovers were an issue. The Wolves turned the ball over 17 times in this one, which resulted in 21 points for the Knicks, and they were outrebounded 50-31 in the losing effort. Rudy Gobert finished with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two turnovers and zero defensive stats in the 23-point defeat.
Nov 3, 2025
Comes through with big final line
Randle provided 19 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 125-109 win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted his first triple-double of the season, setting season highs in rebounds and assists. He wasn't quite as effective as a scorer in this one, but he still managed to near the 20-point threshold by regularly getting to the charity stripe. The Kentucky product is averaging 27.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five games.
Nov 1, 2025
Paces Minnesota in win
Randle recorded 30 points (12-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's 122-105 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle tied the game-high mark in points and was one of six Minnesota players to reach double figures. The star forward has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four appearances, and he's averaging 27.2 points while shooting 56.4 percent from the field in 34.8 minute per contest across six regular-season appearances. With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) expected to miss an extended period, Randle will likely continue to shoulder an increased offensive workload.
Oct 30, 2025
Scores team-high 33 points
Randle racked up 33 points (10-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) sidelined, the rest of Minnesota's starting lineup came through in a big way. Randle and Jaden McDaniels exploded and provided 63 of the team's 115 points in a hotly-contested match that came down to the final seconds. Wednesday marked Randle's best scoring performance of the season, and he should continue to excel during Edwards' absence, which is expected to last a minimum of two weeks.
Oct 28, 2025
Hits for 23 in Monday's loss
Randle chipped in 24 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 127-114 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The veteran power forward has been hot out of the gate in 2025-26, shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from beyond the arc, both of which would be career highs. Randle is also supplying his usual production as a rebounder and distributor, and through four games he's averaging 25.0 points, 6.8 boards, 5.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.3 steals.
Oct 26, 2025
Drops in 31 points in win
Randle ended Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Pacers with 31 points (11-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle was hot from the jump in this one, piling up 11 points in his first nine minutes of play, and he saw a nice uptick in usage with Anthony Edwards (hamstring) leaving the game early. If Edwards needs to miss Monday's game against the Nuggets, Randle could be headed for another big night for Minnesota.
Oct 25, 2025
Flirts with double-double
Randle tallied 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during the Timberwolves' 128-110 loss to the Lakers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
All of Randles' points came through the first three quarters of Friday's game, and he played just three minutes in the fourth frame before he and the rest of the Timberwolves' starters were pulled in a blowout loss. Randle finished as the team's leading rebounder and finished second in points behind Anthony Edwards (31). Randle is off to an efficient start to the season, including 7-for-13 from beyond the arc.
Oct 23, 2025
Posts diverse line in victory
Randle chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Randle was a key part of Minnesota's fourth-quarter rally, adding a pivotal three-pointer and a block in the closing minutes. Minnesota's frontcourt is expected to follow a similar script after a successful 2024-25 campaign, with Randle and Rudy Gobert leading the way. Naz Reid will also contribute, but his usage was lower than usual during Wednesday's win. Randle's contributions in ancillary categories are historically excellent, and he showed those skills off with six rebounds and six assists in the victory.
Oct 21, 2025
Off injury report for Wednesday
Randle (rest) isn't listed on the Timberwolves' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Randle will return to action after sitting out Friday's preseason loss to the 76ers. The veteran forward appeared in 69 regular-season games in 2024-25, during which he averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists while shooting 48.5 percent from the field in 32.3 minutes per contest.
Oct 17, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Randle (rest) is out for Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
After getting some reps in Thursday's exhibition contest against the Bulls, Randle is being shut down for the preseason. The star forward will next take the court in Wednesday's season opener against Portland.
Oct 17, 2025
Notches 23 points
Randle produced 23 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes of Thursday's 126-120 preseason loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Randle looked sharp Thursday and appears to be full steam ahead with Opening Night approaching. The Timberwolves do have one exhibition left Friday against the 76ers for the second leg of a back-to-back, but it's unclear how the Timberwolves will handle this game in terms of rest and maintenance.
Oct 16, 2025
Back in action Thursday
Randle (rest) has been cleared to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bulls, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle received a scheduled night off in Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions. He'll be back in action Thursday and will presumably shoulder around 20-to-25 minutes.
Oct 13, 2025
Ruled out Monday
Randle (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's exhibition game against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
ANALYSIS
Along with the rest of the Timberwolves' regular starters, Randle will sit out Monday's contest. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Bulls.
Oct 8, 2025
Looks sharp Tuesday
Randle recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes of Tuesday's 135-134 preseason loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
After getting the night off Saturday against Denver for rest, Randle saw his first taste of preseason action Tuesday. He saw a modest workload along with the rest of the starters, and he looked to be in mid-season form. It's unclear if the Timberwolves will rest anyone for Thursday's game versus New York.
Oct 7, 2025
Available for Tuesday
Randle (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Pacers, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward got the night off Saturday against Denver, but he's in line to get some exhibition reps Tuesday. Randle will likely receive most of his playing time in the first half before the likes of Joan Beringer, Jaylen Clark and Enrique Freeman take over in the frontcourt during the second half.
Oct 4, 2025
Resting Saturday
Randle (rest) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves will rest most of their starters in this preseason game Saturday. Randle's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in another preseason tune-up against the Pacers. Naz Reid will start in the frontcourt alongside Rudy Gobert as Randle's replacement.
Jun 29, 2025
Expected to sign with Minnesota
Randle intends to sign a three-year, $100 million deal with the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Randle is set to return to the Timberwolves on a long-term pact after being traded to the club prior to the 2024-25 campaign. The three-time All-Star delivered a productive first season in Minnesota, averaging 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists while shooting 48.5 percent from the field across 32.3 minutes per game in 69 regular-season outings. His contract includes a player option for the 2027-28 season.
Apr 12, 2025
Drops 21 in Friday's win
Randle closed with 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 117-91 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward drained five three-pointers for the second straight game, although Randle's overall production didn't match the 31-point double-double he delivered Thursday. He's having a strong finish to the regular season as Minnesota tries to claw its way out of the Play-In Tournament, averaging 20.5 points, 7.1 boards, 5.3 assists, 2.6 threes and 0.8 steals over the last eight games while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent from long distance.
Apr 11, 2025
Records double-double Thursday
Randle racked up 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 141-125 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted a double-double for the first time since March 9, when he posted 14 points and 10 assists in a win over the Spurs. The veteran forward has struggled to get into a rhythm offensively all season long, but he seems to be improving of late and looks bound to finish the campaign on a strong note. He's scored at least 25 points in four of his last seven appearances, averaging 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 0.6 steals per game over that stretch.
Apr 2, 2025
Puts up 26 points in narrow win
Randle chipped in 26 points (11-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 50 minutes during Tuesday's 140-139 double-overtime victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Randle is on an impressive three-game run, averaging 25.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists over the span. The Timberwolves are tough to beat when Randle and Rudy Gobert are both healthy, and Randle's partner has been equally prolific with 77 rebounds over the past five games.
Mar 31, 2025
Excellent in win over Detroit
Randle ended Sunday's 123-104 win over Detroit with 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle is aiming to end the season on a strong note, and if the Timberwolves want to make a deep playoff run, they need Randle to be at his best offensively in order to operate as the team's second option behind Anthony Edwards. Randle is doing just that, as he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games. He's averaging 18.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game since the beginning of March, but his numbers seem to be trending in the right direction.
Mar 29, 2025
Drops game-high 25 against Suns
Randle contributed 25 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 124-109 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
The 25 points led all scorers on the night, as Randle bounced back from a disappointing nine-point showing in Minnesota's last game Monday. The veteran forward has delivered 20 or more points in six of 13 contests in March after missing all of February due to a groin strain, averaging 18.0 points, 6.3 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.4 threes on the month while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor.
Mar 22, 2025
Scores team-high 20 points Friday
Randle chipped in 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 134-93 victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Edwards didn't have his best performance Friday, so Randle stepped up and led Minnesota in scoring in this blowout win. The star forward, who was wildly efficient after missing just four of his 11 shots from the floor, also reached the 20-point mark for the third time over his last six appearances. Randle didn't log a single minute in February while rehabbing from a groin injury, but he's averaging a solid line of 18.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in 11 outings since the beginning of March.
Mar 20, 2025
Efficient despite loss Wednesday
Randle notched 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been remarkably consistent as the Timberwolves' second scoring option behind Anthony Edwards, and he's surpassed the 15-point mark seven times over his 10 appearances in March. He has only three double-doubles in that stretch, but Randle will remain valuable in fantasy as long as he stays healthy due to his ability to impact the game in more than one way.
Mar 18, 2025
Scores 17 points Monday
Randle closed with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been scoring in double digits on a regular basis, and his numbers back him up to maintain his role as the second-best option on offense behind Anthony Edwards. The uptick in efficiency has been noticeable since his return to the hardwood on March 2. Over his nine contests this month, Randle is averaging 18.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while shooting an impressive 50.5 percent from the floor.
Mar 16, 2025
Limited action in blowout win
Randle recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Randle recently missed an extended period of time with a groin injury, so perhaps the Timberwolves embraced the luxury of being able to limit his playing time in Sunday's easy win. Fantasy managers can expect the star forward to bounce back soon, as Randle has averaged 18.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 29.8 minutes across his last eight contests.
Mar 13, 2025
Drops 25 in Denver
Randle racked up 25 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The 25 points tied his high-water mark since he rejoined the lineup at the beginning of the month after recovering from a groin injury. Over those six March appearances, Randle's averaging 18.8 points, 7.5 boards, 6.5 assists and 1.5 threes while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.
Mar 10, 2025
Double-double in Sunday's win
Randle closed Sunday's 141-124 win over the Spurs with 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward has teased a triple-double in three straight games, missing by a single assist Wednesday and Friday before dishing enough dimes but falling short on the glass Sunday. Randle appears fully recovered from his groin injury, and over five games since his return he's averaging 17.6 points, 8.2 boards, 7.2 assists and 1.2 threes.
Mar 8, 2025
Sniffs triple-double
Randle closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 106-104 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Randle matched Anthony Edwards' 13-point output in this low-scoring contest, but the veteran forward was one of the top fantasy contributors for Minnesota due to his numbers in other categories, as he ended just one assist away from a triple-double. Randle finished just one dime away from a triple-double for the second game in a row, and while there's still some rust in him following his 13-game absence in February, he's performed better than expected in his return to the hardwood. He's averaging 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 0.3 steals per game in four appearances.
Mar 5, 2025
Nears triple-double in victory
Randle contributed 25 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists over 35 minutes in Wednesday's 125-110 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Randle put together one of his best outings of the season in Wednesday's contest, leading all Timberwolves in assists while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing one dime shy of a triple-double in a 25-point performance. Randle tied a season high in assists, tallying his 11th double-double of the year. He has recorded at least 20 points and 10 boards in seven appearances.
Mar 5, 2025
Will play and start Wednesday
Randle (groin) has been cleared to play and start in Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
After nearing a double-double in Tuesday's win against the 76ers, Randle will be back in the lineup Wednesday in Charlotte. Following a 13-game absence due to a groin injury, the veteran big man has played well for Minnesota, averaging 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over the last two games while shooting 56.5 percent from the field.
Mar 5, 2025
Questionable against Charlotte
Randle is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte with a right groin strain.
ANALYSIS
Randle, who just recently returned to action for Minnesota, played 30 minutes Tuesday against the 76ers and finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, five assists and one steal. Therefore, it's not a surprise that the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day for the forward. Rudy Gobert, who has been battling a back issue, remains out for Minnesota.
Mar 4, 2025
Cleared to play Tuesday
Randle (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Randle missed all of February due to a right groin strain. He made his return Sunday against the Suns and finished with 20 points, six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes. Randle will play Tuesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out for the second leg of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set Wednesday against the Hornets.
Mar 3, 2025
Questionable with groin strain
Randle is questionable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia due to a right groin strain.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves have a short turnaround Wednesday against the Hornets, so the team could opt to keep Randle out of the lineup on one leg of this back-to-back set. With Rudy Gobert (back) out Tuesday, Minnesota's frontcourt could be significantly undermanned. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could take on more playing time if Randle is sidelined against the 76ers.
Mar 3, 2025
Supplies 20 points in return
Randle totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 116-98 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Seeing his first action since Jan. 30, Randle looked fully recovered from his groin injury. The 30-year-old forward struggled to find consistency over his first few months with the Timberwolves, but he had been showing signs at the end of January that he was getting more comfortable, scoring at least 20 points in three straight contests before getting hurt.
Mar 2, 2025
Green light to play Sunday
Randle (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been out of action since Jan. 30 due to a right groin strain. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to the floor Sunday, though he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction while working his way back into NBA shape. Randle's return will likely lead to Naz Reid returning to a reserve role, though the duo could start together for as long as Rudy Gobert (back) is sidelined.

Intends to play Sunday
Randle (groin), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns, intends to play, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle has missed the club's last 13 outings due to a right groin strain, though he'll likely return to game action against Phoenix. The veteran forward hadn't missed a game until February, and he is averaging 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals across 32.6 minutes per game in 48 regular-season appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see Randle operate under a minutes restriction if he suits up following an extended absence.
Mar 1, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Randle (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Randle hasn't stepped on the court since logging 10 minutes in a 138-113 win over the Jazz and missed the entire month of February, but he might be ready to return to action Sunday. Randle is averaging 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals per game across 48 starts this season. If he isn't deemed ready to return, then Jaden McDaniels would remain as the starting power forward.
Feb 28, 2025
No target date for return
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said prior to Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers that Randle (groin) and Rudy Gobert (back) are both "close" to playing in games, but no formal target date for either player has been established, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports. "We don't anticipate either of them in the near, near future, but they are both going in the right direction," Finch said of Randle and Gobert.
ANALYSIS
Though Minnesota returned Donte DiVincenzo (toe) from an extended absence Thursday, the team looks as though it'll have to wait a bit longer to get back to full strength while Randle and Gobert are on the mend from injuries. Based on Finch's comments, Randle and Gobert can both be ruled out for the second leg of Minnesota's back-to-back set Friday in Utah, and a return from either player in the final game of the road trip Sunday in Phoenix may be ambitious. Naz Reid and Jalen McDaniels should continue to benefit from elevated playing time in the frontcourt until Randle and Gobert return. Randle hasn't played since Jan. 30 due to a right groin strain.
Feb 26, 2025
Still sidelined
Randle (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle will miss a 12th straight game due to a strained right groin. He was cleared for five-on-five activities Feb. 20, which implies he is closing in on a return. His next chance to play will come Friday at Utah. While he's sidelined, look for Naz Reid, Luka Garza and Terrence Shannon to see more minutes.
Feb 24, 2025
Another absence coming
Randle (groin) will not play Monday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Randle, who was recently cleared for 5-on-5 with contact, isn't quite ready to return Monday. There's a chance he could be back for Thursday's game versus the Lakers with a couple more practices under his belt, however.
Feb 22, 2025
Not playing Sunday
Randle (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Randle was recently cleared to return to five-on-five activities, but he hasn't quite progressed enough in his recovery from a groin injury to return Sunday. His next chance to play will be Monday in a rematch with Oklahoma City, but it doesn't appear likely that Randle will be available for that game, either.
Feb 20, 2025
Remains out
Randle (groin) has been cleared for 5 on 5 activities, but will still be out for the time being, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle last played on Jan. 30 before leaving early with the groin injury that has sidelined him for roughly three weeks, but his return to 5 on 5 action is a positive sign that he may play again soon. Expect Naz Reid to start again in Randle's place Friday against Houston.
Feb 5, 2025
Re-evaluated in two weeks
Minnesota announced Wednesday that Randle (groin) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after being diagnosed with a right adductor strain.
ANALYSIS
This is a tough blow for Minnesota, as this will sideline Randle through the All-Star Break. He could return as soon as Feb. 21 against the Rockets, but that's not a guarantee. With Randle out for at least the next six games, Naz Reid is likely to benefit the most from a fantasy perspective -- Reid produced 30 points, five rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 40 minutes Monday against the Kings.
Feb 1, 2025
Set to miss multiple games
Head coach Chris Finch said Saturday that the Timberwolves are preparing to be without Randle "for the near future" due to a right groin strain that he suffered in Thursday's 138-113 win over the Jazz, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle played just 10 minutes in Thursday's game before leaving the game due to a groin strain. Naz Reid will make his first start of the regular season Saturday against the Wizards, and the two-time Sixth Man of the Year winner will likely remain in the Timberwolves' starting five for as long as Randle is sidelined. Randle's absence also opens the door for more playing time for Joe Ingles and Luke Garza.
Jan 31, 2025
Won't face Washington on Saturday
Randle (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle sustained the right groin strain after playing only 10 minutes in Thursday's win over the Jazz, and his next opportunity to feature will come Monday against Sacramento. With the veteran forward sidelined, Naz Reid and Luka Garza are candidates for a bump in playing time.
Jan 30, 2025
Won't return vs. Utah
Randle has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Randle's injury remains a bit murky at this time. The team will likely re-evaluate the star forward Friday morning in an effort to get a better idea of his availability heading into Saturday's game against Washington.
Jan 30, 2025
Limps to locker room
Randle went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Jazz with an apparent right thigh injury, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle looked to be in significant discomfort and didn't waste much time before heading in to the locker room to be examined further. Naz Reid and Jaylen Clark would presumably be in line for a larger workload in the second half if Randle can't return.
Jan 30, 2025
Efficient in victory
Randle totaled 28 points (10-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 121-113 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Randle's 28 points during Wednesday's victory were his most since Nov. 17. While Randle continues to be a strong rebounder and quality secondary playmaker, he has struggled mightily with his outside shot as of late. The 30-year-old forward is converting just 18.6 percent of his 4.3 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.
Jan 26, 2025
Full stat line in victory
Randle finished Saturday's 133-104 victory over Denver with 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward stuffed the stat sheet Saturday, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Anthony Edwards (34 points). Randle has scored 20-plus points in two of the club's last five outings, during which he has averaged 14.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest.
Jan 19, 2025
Narrowly misses triple-double
Randle posted 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Randle came one assist short of registering his first triple-double of the season for the Timberwolves on Saturday, but he was able to corral a season-high 14 rebounds to pace the team. While the star forward's usage and rebounding rate remain considerably lower than what they were during his time with the Knicks, Randle is shooting a career-high 81.2 percent from the free-throw line over 42 contests in 2024-25, much to the delight of nine-category fantasy managers.
Jan 13, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Randle contributed 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 120-106 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward posted his eighth double-double of the season while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Anthony Edwards (41 points). Randle has been fairly successful with his new club, and he has recorded 20-plus points in 22 of his 39 regular-season appearances thus far. The 30-year-old is also on pace to average 35.0 percent from beyond the arc, which would be the second-highest mark of his 11-year career.
Jan 12, 2025
Sniffs triple-double
Randle racked up 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Edwards struggled with his shot and Donte DiVincenzo carried the Timberwolves in this loss, but Randle's contributions can't go unnoticed. He was efficient with his shot and also ended just two rebounds and two assists away from a triple-double. Randle should continue to post solid numbers on both ends of the court as long as he stays healthy.
Jan 9, 2025
Balanced outing in double-double
Randle recorded 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes in Thursday's 104-89 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Randle led the way for the Timberwolves in another road victory Thursday, leading all players in scoring and shots made while concluding as one of two players with a double-double. Randle has tallied a 20-point, 10-rebound performance in four contests this season, hauling in 10 or more boards on seven occasions.
Jan 8, 2025
Stuffs stat sheet
Randle produced 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 104-97 victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Randle had a solid showing on both ends of the court Tuesday, though his performance wasn't eye-popping by any means. Randle at least bounced back from the five-point effort he delivered in Monday's win over the Clippers, but the fact that he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his last six games should be concerning.
Jan 7, 2025
Posts a dud
Randle chipped in five points (2-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 108-106 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Randle was held to a season-low five points in what was arguably his worst performance of the season. Apart from the defensive categories, Randle has been productive over his last 10 games with averages of 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.1 three-pointers.
Jan 4, 2025
Decent output in loss Saturday
Randle posted 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle was the only Minnesota player not named Anthony Edwards who scored in double digits in this game, and all things considered, Randle had an efficient performance while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. As good as he looked Saturday, fantasy managers might have some reason to be concerned with Randle's recent performances. The star forward has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his previous four outings, and he's struggled all season long to replicate the numbers he had been posting in recent years with the Knicks.
Jan 2, 2025
Leads team with balanced outing
Randle provided 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 118-115 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle led the way for Minnesota in Thursday's contest, pacing all Timberwolves players in scoring and assists while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound mark in a well-rounded performance. Randle has tallied 25 or more points in five contests this season, adding at least five rebounds and five assists in three of those outings. He has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances.
Dec 28, 2024
Teases triple-double in win
Randle produced 27 points (10-16 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 113-112 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The 27 points were Randle's best effort since he poured in 35 against the Suns on Nov. 17. The veteran forward has struggled to put together a prolonged hot streak with Minnesota, and through 11 games in December, Randle is averaging 19.0 points, 7.4 boards, 4.8 assists and 2.3 threes while shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Dec 26, 2024
Solid all-around performance
Randle notched 23 points (6-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds and eight assists across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 victory over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Julius Randle helped the Timberwolves get the best of the Mavericks on Christmas Day by filling up the stat sheet alongside Anthony Edwards. Randle has now put up a double-double in consecutive games while dishing out seven or more assists, making him a well-rounded threat for Minnesota.
Dec 20, 2024
Puts up team-high 24 points
Randle contributed 24 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-107 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Even though Karl-Anthony Towns stole the show when it comes to star players facing his former team, Randle delivered a solid outing in his own right as well. He led Minnesota in scoring and also reached the 20-point mark for the third time across his last six appearances. The lack of consistency might affect his fantasy upside a bit, but more often than not, Randle has been Minnesota's second-best offensive option behind Julius Randle. He's averaging 17.7 points per game since the beginning of December.
Dec 14, 2024
Scores 21 points vs. former team
Randle logged 21 points (7-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle snapped a five-game stretch in which he couldn't surpass the 20-point mark, and he posted a solid stat line while ending as Minnesota's second-best scoring weapon behind Anthony Edwards. Randle had adjusted well to life in Minnesota following the offseason trade from New York, and he's averaging 20.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game through 24 starts.
Dec 9, 2024
Double-double in Sunday's loss
Randle posted 14 points (4-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward hasn't been the same double-double machine in Minnesota that he was with the Knicks, as Sunday's effort was just his fourth in his first 23 games for the Timberwolves. Randle's scoring has also tailed off a bit of late, and over the last five games he's averaging just 15.8 points a contest on 42.2 percent shooting from the floor to go along with 7.8 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.2 threes and 0.8 steals.
Dec 5, 2024
Scores team-high 20 points
Randle totaled 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 108-80 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Randle has stepped his game up amid Anthony Edwards' shooting struggles, and the star forward reached the 20-point mark for the eighth time across his last 10 appearances. Over that span, Randle is averaging 21.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 48 percent from the field. Randle's role as the Timberwolves' second-best option on offense is pretty much set in stone, but it's a good sign that he's appearing when the team needs him the most.
Dec 3, 2024
Scores team-high 18 points
Randle racked up 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 109-80 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle was the leading scorer for the Timberwolves in this matchup against his former team, and while he couldn't reach the 20-point mark for the eighth time across his last nine games, he remains very productive. When factoring in his last 10 games, Randle is averaging 20.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.9 steals across 34.0 minutes per contest.
Nov 30, 2024
Snaps impressive scoring stretch
Randle registered 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 93-92 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
This was the first time Randle failed to reach the 20-point threshold since Nov. 12, when he also scored a season-low 11 points in a loss to the Trail Blazers. However, the veteran forward salvaged his fantasy output with his third double-double of the campaign. Randle has settled well into the Timberwolves' offensive scheme and is averaging 20.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest across his last 10 appearances.
Nov 28, 2024
Puts up another 20-point game
Randle finished with 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Randle has now scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games for the Timberwolves, a stretch in which he's averaging 24.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers per contest. His 2.9 turnovers per game on the season as a whole are problematic for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, but Randle is shooting 80.3 percent from the foul line in 18 games this year following Wednesday's perfect night at the charity stripe, which would be his highest mark since the 2020-21 campaign. Still, the 29-year-old star forward remains a more appealing fantasy option overall in points leagues as he continues to acclimate to life in Minnesota after spending the past five years with the Knicks.
Nov 24, 2024
Delivers 23 points in loss
Randle registered 23 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-13 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old finished as the Timberwolves' second-leading scorer behind Anthony Edwards (28), though Randle did struggle from beyond the arc. The forward also secured his 12th game with 20-plus points across 16 regular-season outings. Over his last five games, Randle has averaged 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 37.2 minutes per game.
Nov 17, 2024
Sets new season high in win
Randle registered 35 points (11-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Randle set a new season high in assists and scoring with a team-best 35 points and seven assists in Sunday's win. The 29-year-old hit the game-winning three-pointer as time expired, and his five made threes tied his season-high mark. Through 14 regular-season games with his new club, Randle has averaged 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 34.0 minutes per game. He has also shot an efficient 38.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Nov 16, 2024
Drops 26 on Sacramento
Randle ended with 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Friday's 130-126 overtime victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
While the four boards tied his season low, Randle's offensive output was his best since Oct. 24, when he supplied a season-high 33 points -- a game that also took place in Sacramento. Through his first 13 games with the Timberwolves he's averaging 20.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 threes while shooting 50.3 percent from the floor, his best mark since 2018-19.
Nov 13, 2024
Disappointing numbers Tuesday
Randle produced 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves didn't perform well as a group Tuesday, but there's a solid argument to say Randle was among the most disappointing players in this 14-point defeat. Randle continues to adjust to a new team, new teammates and a new scheme following his offseason trade from New York to Minnesota, and the lack of consistency remains an issue even if he has had some decent games from time to time. He's failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances, however, averaging 17.0 points and shooting 42.6 percent from the field in that span.
Nov 11, 2024
Adjustment to new team continues
Randle totaled 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 95-94 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward continues to put up solid, if somewhat disappointing, numbers for the Timberwolves. While Randle's efficiency has gone up -- he's shooting 53.1 percent from the floor, his best mark since 2017-18, and 40.9 percent from three-point range, his best performance since 2020-21 -- his usage has gone down compared to his last few years with the Knicks, and he has yet to attempt 20 shots in a game for Minnesota. Randle's 6.7 boards a game is also on pace for a career low, as he's never finished a season below 8.0. As the third wheel on a team with Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert in well-defined roles, this level of production may be the new normal for Randle.
Nov 9, 2024
Strong display in win Friday
Randle totaled 22 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 127-102 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Randle has adjusted well to the role of being the Timberwolves' second option on offense behind Anthony Edwards, and the veteran forward is getting the job done on both ends of the court so far. Through his nine starts, Randle is averaging a solid 21.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.7 steals across 33.2 minutes per game. He's also scored over 20 points in four of his five outings this month.
Nov 2, 2024
Hits for 23 in Friday's win
Randle logged 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-116 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The former Knick has had a strong start to his Minnesota tenure. Randle has scored at least 20 points in four straight games, and in five contests to begin the season he's averaging 23.2 points, 7.2 boards, 5.4 assists and 2.4 threes while shooting 60.9 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Oct 30, 2024
Impressive in Tuesday's loss
Randle accumulated 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward posted his best all-around performance yet for Minnesota, scoring at least 20 points for the third straight game and recording his first steals or blocks on the young season. Randle appears to be fitting in well in the Timberwolves' frontcourt, and he's been locked in from downtown, going 10-for-16 (62.5 percent) from three-point range.
Oct 29, 2024
Briefly exits Tuesday
Randle checked back into Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks with 9:19 left in the fourth quarter after heading to the locker room with 1:51 remaining in the third quarter.
ANALYSIS
Randle took a shot to the face after attempting to block Mavericks forward Nnaji Marshall in transition. While Randle was shaken up from the play, he should be able to finish out Tuesday's contest without missing a significant chunk of time.
Oct 27, 2024
Stays hot in win
Randle notched 24 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
After a quiet performance in his Minnesota debut, Randle has recorded back-to-back strong all-around performances. Over his last two games, Randle has totaled 57 points (22-33 FG), 14 rebounds and nine assists. Notably, Randle has yet to record a block or steal through three games.
Oct 25, 2024
Leads team with 33 points
Randle totaled 33 points (13-17 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
While Randle is expected to accomplish great things with the Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert's 3/11/1 line is an interesting twist in Minnesota's frontcourt storyline. Randle lacks the finesse of Karl-Anthony Towns, but he's an absolute beast under the basket and isn't afraid to roam the perimeter to test his three-point shot. One could argue that Towns was a better fit for Gobert's bottom line, but an ideal outcome is that Randle and Gobert can share the load together. Those who drafted Gobert will need to monitor his usage because Randle isn't going anywhere.
Oct 21, 2024
Ready for Opening Night
Randle (rest/shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle suited up one time during the preseason, marking his first game action since Jan. 27. The 29-year-old missed the club's final preseason outing due to rest purposes, though he is likely going to be fully ready to receive a normal workload against the club that drafted him in 2014.
Oct 17, 2024
Not playing vs. Denver
Randle (rest) won't be active for Thursday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves are resting their starters and main backups for this game, so Randle won't see the court in the preseason finale. His next chance to feature will come against the Lakers on Opening Night on Tuesday, where he figures to play a prominent role in the frontcourt.
Oct 16, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Randle (shoulder) is officially active and starting Wednesday's preseason contest versus Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Randle will step into live game action for the first time since Jan. 27. He is flanked by Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert in the Timberwolves' new-look frontcourt. It's unclear how Minnesota made limit his workload or stagger his minutes in a new environment coming off injury.
Oct 14, 2024
Will debut Wednesday
Randle (shoulder) will make his preseason debut Wednesday against the Bulls, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle underwent shoulder surgery in April, but he was always expected to be 100 percent by Opening Night. Based on this report, that still seems to be the case. It's likely that Randle has heavy restrictions in his first taste of the preseason, however.
Oct 13, 2024
Out again Sunday
Randle (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Knicks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle won't suit up against his former squad Sunday, though coach Chris Finch said Friday that the All-Star will return before the preseason comes to an end, according to Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'. The 29-year-old underwent shoulder surgery in April, but he is expected to be 100 percent by Opening Night. Randle's next chance to make his debut for the Timberwolves will come Wednesday against the Bulls.
Oct 11, 2024
Won't play Friday
Randle (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle will have to wait to make his Timberwolves debut as he recovers from a shoulder surgery he underwent in April which cut his 2023-24 campaign short. The 29-year-old is expected to make a return to game action by Opening Night, though it is unclear if he will have any restrictions. Randle's next chance to make his debut will come Sunday versus the Knicks.

Will not debut Friday
Randle (shoulder) will be held out of Friday's preseason opener versus the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
One week to the night of being dealt from New York to Minnesota, Randle is not ready to make his debut against the team that drafted him. This is unsurprising, as the big man was expected to be limited during the preseason as he recovers from a shoulder injury. When healthy, he is expected to start alongside Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt. In his absence Friday, Naz Reid is the likely candidate to start.
Oct 2, 2024
Likely to start
Coach Chris Finish said Wednesday that Randle (shoulder) has "probably earned a starting role given his accomplishments, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Randle will likely be a limited participant throughout training camp as he continues recovering from a right shoulder dislocation, his career pedigree puts him on track to enter the starting lineup upon his return to health. The two-time All-NBA forward will reinforce Minnesota's rebounding on both ends, while offering some secondary creation and facilitation from the post. Naz Reid is likely a primary candidate to move into the starting lineup if Randle cannot be cleared by Opening Night.

Traded to Minnesota
Randle (shoulder) has been dealt to the Timberwolves along with Donte DiVincenzo in exchance for Karl-Anthony Towns, Shams Charania of The Athletic
ANALYSIS
The Twin Cities have a new pair of twin towers to hold down its frontcourt. Randle's fifth year in New York was plagued with injuries, which led him to play just 46 games in the 2023-24 season. The veteran big man underwent surgery on his right shoulder in April and was given a five-month re-Evaluation timetable. It remains to be seen how close he is to being ready for the start of the season.
Sep 23, 2024
Unlikely to be full go in preseason
Randle (shoulder) is unlikely to be a full participant during the preseason, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle underwent surgery on his right shoulder in April and was given a five-month re-evaluation timetable. The team hasn't provided an update since, but it sounds like the talented big man is still rehabbing and will be limited to begin training camp starting in October. More information should be available during the Knicks Media Day on Sept. 30, but NBA Insider Ian Bagley suggests Randle's potential lack of availability at training camp shouldn't be concerning. Regardless, with Isaiah Hartenstein now in Oklahoma City and the news that Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't be ready until December or January, the Knicks' frontcourt is looking thin before the 2024-25 season kicks off.

Undergoes successful surgery
Randle underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday, and the Knicks said he'll be re-evaluated in five months, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle tried to avoid surgery and return for the playoffs but ultimately had to be shut down for the season in early April after dislocating his right shoulder at the end of January. He ended the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes across 46 appearances. Randle is under contract for at least one more season, with a player option worth $29.46 million for 2025-26. His re-evaluation timeline cuts it close to next season's training camp, but there's been no indication Randle is at risk of missing the start of 2024-25.
Apr 4, 2024
Shut down for rest of season
The Knicks announced Thursday that Randle will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a dislocated right shoulder. Despite spending the last two months rehabbing, the 29-year-old forward will ultimately be shut down for the remainder of 2023-24. Randle will end the season averaging 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.4 minutes across 46 appearances. Josh Hart, Bojan Bogdanovic and Precious Achiuwa should continue to receive increased playing time in the Knicks' forward rotation with OG Anunoby (elbow) also out.
Mar 25, 2024
Not yet taking contact
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday that Randle is still waiting to take contact and is "trying to strengthen the shoulder area," Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. "Some days have been better than others," Thibodeau added. "But just keep working at it and you never know when it turns. So that's the way we have to approach it."
ANALYSIS
Updates on Randle have often been vague and infrequent since he sustained a dislocated right shoulder in the Knicks' Jan. 27 win over the Heat. Though he was able to avoid surgery on the injury, the veteran power forward doesn't seem to have significant progress in the ensuing two months. For about the past three weeks, Randle has been limited to taking light contact with pads on the court, so he still looks to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day at this stage of his recovery. The Knicks remain hopeful to get Randle back for the playoffs if not the end of the regular season, but fantasy managers in redraft leagues likely can't justify holding him while his return timeline remains uncertain.
Mar 12, 2024
Still practicing limited contact
Randle (shoulder) continues ramping up in "controlled contact situations" but has not progressed to any scrimmaging, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle's timeline for returning from a dislocated shoulder is difficult to evaluate given the re-injury risk of destabilized shoulders and the muscle re-strengthening needed. Coach Tom Thibodeau did not disclose an estimation for ascending to 5-on-5 action, so Randle remains week-to-week at this time.
Mar 7, 2024
Practicing with light contact
Randle (shoulder) is still working with pads but has progressed to light contact, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a right dislocated shoulder. While the 29-year-old forward seems to have avoided the need for surgery, Randle's return to action isn't imminent. Good news is on the horizon for the Knicks, however, as OG Anunoby (elbow) has been upgraded to day-to-day.
Feb 21, 2024
Hoping to avoid surgery
Randle (shoulder) said Wednesday that surgery hasn't been ruled out, but he's hoping to avoid it and doing everything he can to get back as soon as possible, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks announced at the beginning of February that Randle would be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks after being diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder. Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to the injury and isn't practicing yet, so he can be considered week-to-week moving forward. OG Anunoby (elbow) also remains out, so Precious Achiuwa and Josh Hart should continue to see elevated roles, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Bojan Bogdanovic's (calf) playing time increase over the next week as he gets acclimated to his new squad.
Feb 20, 2024
Still not cleared to practice
Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that Randle (shoulder) hasn't been cleared to practice but is progressing well in his recovery, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a dislocated right shoulder. While an official injury report has yet to be announced for Thursday's game versus the 76ers, Randle's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability.
Feb 1, 2024
Out at least 2-3 weeks
The Knicks announced Thursday that Randle (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks.
ANALYSIS
Randle suffered a dislocated right shoulder Saturday against the Heat, and the Knicks are optimistic that his absence will be measured in weeks rather than months. However, a better timetable for his return could come into focus once he's re-evaluated in mid-to-late February. Josh Hart has seen plenty of run over the past two matchups, averaging 9.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 41.0 minutes per game.
Jan 29, 2024
Expected to miss multiple weeks
Randle (shoulder) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle sustained a dislocated right shoulder Sunday against the Heat and is undergoing further testing Monday. However, the Knicks hope that his absence will be measured in weeks rather than months. Josh Hart will likely see an uptick in usage while Randle is sidelined, while Quentin Grimes and Precious Achiuwa could also see additional minutes.
Jan 28, 2024
Flirts with double-double in win
Randle (shoulder) notched 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-109 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Randle led all Knicks starters in rebounds while finishing one board short of a double-double and ending as one of three players with 15 or more points in a winning effort. Randle has tallied at least 15 points and eight rebounds in six of his last eight contests.
Jan 27, 2024
Suffers dislocated shoulder
Randle has been diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle suffered the injury to his shoulder late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game after a collision with Heat forward Jaime Jaquez. No official timetable has been given to this point, but he will miss some time. Newly acquired OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa could be in line for extended minutes in Randle's absence.
Jan 27, 2024
Exits game with injury
Randle left Saturday's game versus Miami with 4:27 remaining in the fourth quarter due to an apparent shoulder injury and won't return, Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle crashed into Jaime Jaquez late in the fourth quarter Saturday and wasn't able to shoot his free throws, meaning his night is over. Randle will finish the contest with 19 points, nine rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes. The 29-year-old forward's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Charlotte.
Jan 26, 2024
Posts well-rounded line in rout
Randle amassed 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 122-84 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Randle led the Knicks in rebounds while also contributing healthy numbers as a scorer and distributor, and he could have pushed for a triple-double if not for sitting out the entire fourth quarter with New York building an insurmountable lead. The power forward has been one of the most versatile players at his position in the league this season, averaging 24.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.6 triples through 45 games. Randle has also boosted his fantasy stock by increasing his shooting efficiency -- his current 47.3 percent mark from the field is on pace to be his highest since the 2018-19 campaign.
Jan 24, 2024
Teases triple-double in Brooklyn
Randle totaled 30 points (10-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward tied Jalen Brunson for the team scoring lead on the night as he came within a handful of boards and dimes of his second straight triple-double. Randle has scored 30 or more points in six of 12 games in January, averaging 26.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 threes on the month.
Jan 21, 2024
Records triple-double
Randle ended with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 126-100 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Randle committed seven turnovers, but fantasy managers will gladly take that, considering his contributions in other categories. Aside from posting his first triple-double of the season and delivering a season-high mark in assists, Randle also scored in double digits for the eighth consecutive contest. Randle is averaging 25.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in that span.
Jan 17, 2024
Leading scorer vs. Houston
Randle finished Wednesday's 109-94 win over the Rockets with 31 points (11-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle has scored 20-plus points in all but two games in January and has registered four-plus assists in eight straight games. The former All-NBA forward is having a productive start to the new year and is averaging 26.5 points on 46.3 percent shooting, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists over 35.8 minutes per game in January.
Jan 14, 2024
Double-double in win Saturday
Randle had 24 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Randle was expected to handle more touches on offense with Jalen Brunson (calf) out, but he wasn't as efficient as he could've been, and while he posted a double-double, his scoring numbers were not significantly different from the ones he's posted all season long. The star big man should continue to hold a consistent scoring threat for the Knicks, though, and he's a threat to score 20 points or more every time he steps on the court.
Jan 12, 2024
Posts 32 points in loss
Randle accumulated 32 points (12-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-124 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Randle played well in his hometown, leading New York with 32 points and rounding out his stat line with six boards, five assists and two steals. It was the fourth time in six January contests that the power forward has exceeded the 30-point mark, and he's dished at least five dimes in each of his past four games. After a slow start to the campaign, Randle has recovered to put up strong season averages that include 24.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.8 dimes and 1.5 triples over 35.6 minutes.
Jan 10, 2024
Sniffs triple-double Tuesday
Randle finished with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 112-84 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been an excellent two-way threat for the Knicks this season, and his performances over the last few weeks have been nothing short of spectacular. Excluding the eight-point performance against the 76ers on Jan. 5, Randle has hit 24 or more points in all but one of his last nine games, and if adding the game against Philadelphia, then he's still averaging 28.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.6 steals per contest.
Jan 7, 2024
Excellent against Washington
Randle ended with 39 points (13-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-13 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-105 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Randle stuffed the stat sheet Saturday and posted an impressive outing, particularly in the scoring column, as his 39 points were two shy of his best scoring output of the season. The big man has scored at least 35 points in four of his last six appearances, so he's clearly trending in the right direction of late.
Jan 3, 2024
Leads Knicks in win
Randle had a game-high 35 points (13-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes in Wednesday's 116-100 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
It's the third time in four games that Randle has scored 35-plus points in a game. It's also the fourth time in five contests that he's led New York in scoring. Randle has gotten over his slow start to the season and is averaging 29.0 points on 51.5 percent shooting, 9.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists over 37.0 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.
Jan 1, 2024
Erupts for 39 in Monday's win
Randle ended Monday's 112-106 win over the Timberwolves with 39 points (14-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-13 FT) and nine rebounds across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward posted his best scoring effort since he poured in 41 against the Bucks on Dec. 5. Randle has produced 20-plus points in an impressive 18 straight games, averaging 28.2 points, 9.4 boards, 4.2 assists and 1.2 threes over that stretch, and with RJ Barrett now in Toronto -- replaced by the more defensively oriented O.G. Anunoby in the Knicks' starting five -- it's possible Randle's already high usage might creep just a little bit higher.
Dec 30, 2023
Posts big performance in loss
Randle posted 38 points (16-25 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one block across 36 minutes during Friday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Randle dominated down low in the loss, bullying his way to a 16-for-21 mark on two-point shot attempts. The powerful power forward added 12 boards and six assists to complement his game-high 38 points, though the Knicks fell just short against an upstart Orlando club. Randle began the campaign shooting just 33.9 percent from the field over his first 10 games, but he's turned things around since then, knocking down 53.2 percent of his shots over his subsequent 21 contests. Not coincidentally, he's lowered his three-point attempts from 6.6 in the initial 10-game set to 4.3 over the 21-contest surge.
Dec 28, 2023
Sniffs double-double in loss
Randle supplied 25 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-120 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Randle finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double in this loss, a remarkable feat since he had to deal down low with Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, the latter who had a career-best performance Wednesday. Randle has been playing well in recent weeks following a slow start to the season, and he's averaging 26.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in December.
Dec 25, 2023
Stays hot in Monday's win
Randle provided 24 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Monday's 129-122 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward just missed picking up his 15th double-double of the season. Randle has been impressively consistent over the last month, scoring 20 or more points in 14 straight games and averaging 27.0 points, 9.0 boards, 4.4 assists and 1.3 threes over that stretch while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 88.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Dec 23, 2023
Drops 26 in Saturday's loss
Randle recorded 26 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 130-111 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward continues to roll. Randle has scored 20 or more points in 13 straight games, averaging 27.2 points, 9.0 boards, 4.6 assists and 1.2 threes over that stretch, and after a bumpy start to the season he's quickly making up ground as he looks to top the career-best 25.1 points a night he averaged in 2022-23.
Dec 21, 2023
Another strong performance
Randle produced 26 points (9-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 121-102 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle led the Knicks in scoring during Wednesday's win over Brooklyn. The star forward has now scored at least 20 points in each of his last 12 appearances. However, Randle is shooting just 29.3 percent on 5.2 three-point attempts per contest this season.
Dec 19, 2023
27/14 double-double in win
Randle tallied 27 points (12-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists across 43 minutes in Monday's 114-109 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle put up another dominant performance while the Knicks continue to deal with various injuries in the frontcourt. Randle's been on an excellent run recently, averaging 26.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in the five games preceding Monday's performance.
Dec 16, 2023
Scores 23 points in win
Randle posted 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 35 minutes during Friday's 139-122 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Although his scoring total regressed a bit after notching to games over 30 points, he hit 62.5 percent of his shots and posted a solid rebound total in the runaway victory, spurred by Jalen Brunson's career game. Randle continues to lead a front court without Mitchell Robinson's (foot) assistance and continues to excel despite uninspiring performances from Jericho Sims and Isaiah Hartenstein alongside him.
Dec 14, 2023
Racks up 32/12 double-double
Randle amassed 32 points (14-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell Robinson's (ankle) extended absence leaves the Knicks with a thin frontcourt, and the heavy lifting inside has fallen squarely on Randle's shoulders. He will be the key piece of the puzzle as the team employs an adjusted lineup, platooning Jericho Sims and Isaiah Hartenstein to provide interior support. Since his massive 25/20 double-double against the Hornets, Randle has averaged 28.7 points, 10.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists over seven games.
Dec 9, 2023
Puts up 20 points vs Celtics
Randle recorded 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 133-123 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Randle is one of the most versatile power forwards in the Eastern Conference and tends to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis, but he had a tough task Friday while dealing with the frontcourt of Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis. Randle has scored 20 or more points in six games in a row, however, and he will look to extend that streak against the Raptors on Monday.
Dec 2, 2023
Flirts with triple-double in win
Randle racked up 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 119-106 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Randle dominated Friday's contest despite dealing with right knee inflammation, leading the team in rebounds and assists while finishing as one of two starters with 20 or more points and ending one dime short of a triple-double. Randle has posted at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in three games this season, including in two straight contests. He has recorded a double-double in three straight outings.
Dec 1, 2023
Available against Toronto
Randle (knee) said he is playing in Friday's game versus the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with right knee inflammation. The star forward has yet to miss a game this season and is averaging 23.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Dec 1, 2023
Plans to play
Randle (knee) plans to play Friday against the Raptors, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle is officially listed as questionable, but he's trending more toward probable. The talented lefty played 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 win over Detroit, totaling 29 points (12-21 FG), 10 rebounds and eight assists. If he's cleared to play, Randle may see closer to 30 minutes, given Friday's matchup is the second night of a back-to-back set, but he'd presumably still handle a major offensive role.
Dec 1, 2023
Dealing with knee inflammation
Randle is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Raptors due to right knee inflammation.
ANALYSIS
Randle played 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 win over Detroit, totaling 29 points (12-21 FG), 10 rebounds and eight assists. His presence on the injury report is likely just precautionary with the Knicks on the second half of a back-to-back set. However, if Randle is sidelined, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo would be candidates for increased playing time, while Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley would presumably run the Knicks' offense.
Dec 1, 2023
Sniffs triple-double in win
Randle accumulated 29 points (12-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted his second straight double-double, but that's not all, as the star power forward ended just two boards shy of recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. Randle has bounced back following an ugly start to the season, and while he could improve a bit in the consistency department, it's worth noting he's moving in the right direction. Over his last five appearances, Randle is averaging 23.2 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
Nov 27, 2023
Bounces back against PHX
Randle totaled 28 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Randle saw the end of an impressive scoring streak of games with at least 20 points in the win against the Heat on Friday, but he bounced back admirably here and finished just one point shy of tying his best scoring mark of the campaign. The 13-point effort against Miami was just a bump on the road for the power forward, however, as his stock has risen considerably over the last two weeks. He's averaging 23.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game across his last 10 outings.
Nov 21, 2023
Extends scoring streak Monday
Randle supplied 21 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Monday's 117-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Randle seems to have left his slow start to the season in the rearview and has now scored at least 20 points in eight consecutive contests, but he's doing more than just scoring and has looked active on the glass as well. Through this eight-game run, Randle is averaging 23.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.8 steals per contest.
Nov 19, 2023
Impresses against Charlotte
Randle delivered 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), six rebounds and eight assists across 38 minutes in Saturday's 122-108 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle ended just two assists away from a double-double, and while his streak of games with 20 or more points ended at six, he took a step forward in the assists department and dished out eight dimes for the third consecutive contest. A player who's capable of making a steady impact on both ends of the court, Randle should continue playing a prominent role for the Knicks when they take on the Timberwolves on Monday.
Nov 16, 2023
Teases triple-double against Hawks
Randle ended with 29 points (12-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-114 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward came a couple dimes short of his first triple-double since February 2022, and his first in a non-overtime game since April 2021. Randle instead had to settle for his eighth double-double in 11 games to begin the current campaign, and Wednesday's 29 points were a season high. He seems to be shaking off his early shooting woes -- Randle has scored at least 23 points in five straight games on 44.4 percent field-goal shooting during that stretch.
Nov 14, 2023
All-around performance in loss
Randle registered 25 points (7-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle did a little bit of everything for New York at home, leading the team in assists to go along with a team-high-tying rebound mark while finishing as one of two Knicks with 25 or more points. Randle has recorded at least 15 points, nine rebounds and five assists in five of his first 10 contests, tallying 25 or more points in two contests.
Nov 13, 2023
Excels against Charlotte
Randle provided 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-107 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Randle endured a rough start to the season but seems to be turning a corner, as he has scored at least 23 points in his last three outings while racking up double-doubles twice in that span, too. His numbers are undoubtedly trending in the right direction, but he's still averaging just 19.0 points per game while shooting 36.3 percent from the field in five November outings.
Nov 9, 2023
Strong on the glass in victory
Randle produced 23 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-105 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Randle led all players in Wednesday's game in rebounds while finishing second on the team in scoring and assists in a double-double effort. Randle, who tallied a team-high rebound mark, has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in seven of his first eight outings while posting a double-double in all seven of those games.
Nov 7, 2023
Improves shooting in win
Randle supplied 27 points (9-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 111-97 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Randle has had a tough time putting the ball in the hoop early in the campaign, as he came into Monday shooting an ugly 27.1 percent from the field through six games. By that measure, his 9-for-21 mark against the Clippers was a marked improvement, as was the veteran forward's 3-for-8 performance from deep after he went just 1-for-15 from beyond the arc over his previous two contests. Despite Randle's early-season shooting woes, he's posted a double-double in six of his seven appearances thus far and is averaging a healthy 4.9 assists per game.
Nov 4, 2023
Records inefficient double-double
Randle closed with 16 points (5-20 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 110-105 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Randle wasn't very efficient from the floor Friday, but he was still one of four Knicks to score in double figures while also posting his fifth double-double over the first six games of the season. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily with efficiency to begin the 2023-24 campaign, as he's posted 27.1/22.5/61.8 percent shooting splits over six appearances. However, he's still had plenty of shot volume and has been a force on the boards.
Nov 1, 2023
Ice cold in loss
Randle had six points (3-15 shooting, 0-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and a steal over 35 minutes in Wednesday's 95-89 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
In five games this season, Randle has failed to score 20-plus points and has shot less than 40 percent from the field in all but one contest. He's able to contribute outside of scoring, but it's simply not up to the quality of play for a two-time All-Star player. He'll look to shake off his slump Friday against the Bucks.
Nov 1, 2023
Double-doubles keep coming
Randle produced 19 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 109-91 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks led the game nearly wire to wire, with Randle tying Jalen Brunson for the team scoring lead. That's now four straight double-doubles to begin the season for the 28-year-old forward despite poor shooting that has seen him stumble to a 29.5 FG% and just 15.0 points a game. Given that Randle had averaged better than 20 points a game in the three seasons prior, buckets should start falling for him soon enough.
Oct 28, 2023
Struggles from the field in loss
Randle supplied 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 96-87 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Randle has recorded a double-double in all three games so far this season, but he also shot less than 30 percent for the second time in three contests and missed all five of his three point attempts. He also had eight turnovers on the night which was the most since Dec. 29, 2020 when he coughed the ball up nine times. It was another slow start for the Knicks who were outscored 26-12 in the first quarter and shot 36.7 percent from the floor, including 7-of-37 from beyond the arc. Randle and the Knicks will look to turn things around Tuesday when they wrap up their four-game road trip against the Cavaliers.
Oct 28, 2023
Close to triple-double once again
Randle racked up 17 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds and nine assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 126-120 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Two games are not enough to make a projection, but there's no question Randle is enjoying an excellent start, with back-to-back double-doubles with at least seven assists in each of his first two outings. The lack of efficiency has been an issue, however, as Randle has made just nine of his 32 field goals over his first two contests, good for a 28.1 field-goal percentage.
Oct 26, 2023
Sniffs triple-double in loss
Randle totaled 14 points (5-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 108-104 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
On the surface, Randle delivered strong value in this season opener, as he ended just three assists away from a triple-double while also leaving his mark on the defensive end with two steals. However, he was absolutely dreadful from the field, and he went 2-for-14 in two-point attempts, as he had a rough time playing against Kristaps Porzingis. Randle can still get the job done even when he struggles from the field, but he needs to be more efficient with his shot going forward.
Oct 19, 2023
Posts 20-10 game in preseason loss
Randle notched 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and 10 rebounds over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 preseason loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Randle returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after missing the previous game due to rest, finishing with a team-high point total and as one of two players with 10 or more rebounds in the loss to Washington. Randle tallied his highest point and rebound marks of the preseason, averaging 12.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists over three contests.
Oct 18, 2023
Gets nod against Wizards
Randle (rest) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle didn't start against the Celtics due to rest since the team was on the first half of a back-to-back set, but the star forward will return to the starting unit along the rest of the expected starters for opening night: Jalen Brunson, Quentin Grimes, RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson.
Oct 17, 2023
Sitting out Tuesday
Randle won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics while resting, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle hasn't suffered any injury but is sitting out the first end of New York's back-to-back. He will be replaced by Jericho Sims in the starting lineup. Randle's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's preseason matchup with Washington.
Oct 2, 2023
Ready for training camp
Randle is fully healthy for training camp, Ian Begley of SportsNet New Yorkreports.
ANALYSIS
Randle underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle back in early June, but his projected timetable never really put his status for Opening Night in jeopardy. Look for Randle and Jalen Brunson to lead the Knicks in usage once again this season.
Sep 25, 2023
Should be ready for regular season
Randle (ankle) continues to make steady progress and is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, Steve Aschburner of NBA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Tom Thibodeau's update on Randle was brief, but it brought positive news for the Knicks. The star forward underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle during the offseason, and barring any last-minute setbacks, it shouldn't force him to miss any game action.
Jun 3, 2023
Undergoes arthoscopic ankle surgery
Randle has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle and is not expected to resume basketball activities later this summer, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
After spraining his left ankle in the Knicks' Round 1 series victory over the Cavaliers, the issue continued to linger for Randle throughout the remainder of their playoff run. The veteran big man opted to clean things out in his ankle, and thus will be limited in his offseason training until things ramp up towards the end of summer. He averaged a career-high 25.1 points per game this past season to go along with 10.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.8 triples in 35.5 minutes per game.
May 10, 2023
Strong from deep to boost offense
Randle contributed 24 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 win over Miami in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted a team-high-tying mark from three while finishing as one of three Knicks players with 20 or more points in Wednesday's victory. Randle, who scored 12 of his 24 points in the third quarter in Game 5, has notched at least 20 points and five rebounds in three of four appearances in this series.
May 8, 2023
Top rebounder in near double-double
Randle accumulated 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-101 loss to Miami in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Randle tallied a team-high rebound total while finishing as one of three Knicks players with 20 or more points in Monday's Game 4 loss. Randle, who finished one board shy of a double-double, has notched at least 20 points and eight rebounds in two of his last three games of the series.
May 6, 2023
Struggles from field in loss
Randle finished Saturday's 105-86 loss to Miami in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle might have ended with a double-double, but he was atrocious from the field in a game where the Knicks had major woes on offense as a team. Randle hasn't been able to translate his excellent regular season form into the playoffs, and he's averaging just 15.2 points per game -- way below the career-high 25.1 points per game he averaged during the regular season.
May 2, 2023
Nears triple-double in return
Randle registered 25 points (8-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 win over Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Randle led all players in Tuesday's Game 2 in rebounds while posting a double-double showing in his first action since April 26 due to a knee injury. Randle, who finished two assists short of a triple-double, tallied his highest point, rebound and assist totals of the postseason in the victory.
May 2, 2023
Available to play Tuesday
Randle (ankle) is available to play in Game 2 against the Heat on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
This will be Randle's first action since April 26. Randle was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update and didn't do anything besides watch film on Monday, so this is a huge boost for New York. The Knicks will like their chances with Jimmy Butler ruled out with an ankle injury. With Randle back in action, Obi Toppin will likely see his role diminish a good bit.
May 1, 2023
Listed as questionable for Game 2
Randle (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 versus Miami, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that the Knicks just had a film day, so there was not much for Randle to participate in physically. The coach did add that the forward was "responding well overall," per Fred Katz of The Athletic, and the upgrade to questionable confirms that notion. Randle was initially listed as doubtful before being ruled out for Game 1, and while he's trending in the right direction, his official availability likely won't be known until a few hours ahead of Tuesday's 7:30 p.m. ET.
Apr 30, 2023
Officially ruled out
Randle (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Randle has been officially ruled out after Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported earlier Sunday that the forward was unlikely to suit up. Quentin Grimes (shoulder) has been cleared to suit up after missing the final two games of the opening-round series, but Josh Hart and Obi Toppin draw starts next to Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson. Randle was able to go through a pregame workout Sunday, but his status for Tuesday's Game 2 remains unclear.
Apr 30, 2023
Expected to be sidelined
Randle (ankle) is officially listed as questionable, but he's expected to be sidelined for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Heat on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle left the Knicks' close-out Game 5 win over the Cavaliers and has been limited at practices since. The talented forward was able to get a pregame workout in before Sunday's contest, so it appears he could return to game action sooner than later. If Randle is indeed ruled out, Obi Toppin could slide into the starting lineup and see more minutes, but RJ Barrett and Jalen Brunson would presumably have to handle increased offensive responsibilities, as well.
Apr 30, 2023
Going through pregame workout
Randle (ankle) is officially listed as questionable, but he's going through a pregame workout ahead of Sunday's Game 1 matchup versus the Heat, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle left the Knicks' close-out Game 5 win over the Cavaliers due to a left ankle sprain and was limited at practices leading up to the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Game 1. His official availability likely won't be known until closer to the 1:00 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's forced to the sidelines, Obi Toppin would presumably garner increased minutes.
Apr 29, 2023
Status uncertain for Game 1
Randle (ankle) is questionable for Game 1 against the Heat on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been limited at practice after suffering a left ankle sprain in Wednesday's matchup with Cleveland. The star forward averaged 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.6 minutes across five games in the first round. If Randle is unable to suit up Sunday, Obi Toppin will likely receive an increased role.
Apr 28, 2023
Limited at practice
Randle (ankle) was limited at Friday's practice but still participated in shooting, lifting and cardio in the pool, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle exited Wednesday's close-out Game 5 against the Cavaliers due to a left ankle sprain. An official injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the Heat hasn't yet been released, so Randle should tentatively be considered questionable. Obi Toppin would be in line for a bigger role if Randle sits out.
Apr 26, 2023
Will not return Wednesday
Randle (ankle) returned to the Knicks bench in street clothes and is out for the remainder of Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Cavaliers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle exited the contest late in the first half after sustaining a sprained left ankle, the same injury that held him out of the Knicks' final 5 regular season games. The severity of the injury is unknown. If the Knicks are unable to clinch a berth in the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a Game 5 win, Randle's next chance to play would come Friday against Cleveland in Madison Square Garden.
Apr 26, 2023
Unlikely to return Wednesday
Randle is doubtful to return to Game 5 versus the Cavaliers on Wednesday due to a left sprained ankle.
ANALYSIS
Randle re-injured the same ankle that caused him to miss the final five contests of the regular season while contesting Caris LeVert's jumper with 1:17 left in the second quarter. Randle tallied 13 points, six assists and four rebounds in 16 minutes before exiting Wednesday's game. Obi Toppin has started the second half in his place.
Apr 15, 2023
Double-doubles in Game 1 win
Randle ended Saturday's 101-97 victory over Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 19 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle struggled with his efficiency but still finished second on the team in scoring and tied Josh Hart with a team-high 10 boards. The Knicks escaped Game 1 with an upset victory, but Randle will need to be more sharp moving forward if New York hopes to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Apr 15, 2023
Set to start Saturday
Randle (ankle) will start Game 1 against the Cavaliers on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle had already been reported as "steadily improving" and was widely expected to return to the starting unit ahead of the series opener against the Cavaliers after injuring his ankle against the Heat on March 29. Randle finished the regular season with averages of 25.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 35.5 minutes across 77 contests.
Apr 14, 2023
Officially questionable for Game 1
Randle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Cavaliers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Despite the questionable designation, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that Randle has been steadily improving and is targeting Saturday's contest as his first game back since suffering the ankle injury during a March 29 win over Miami, so it appears the forward is trending more toward probable than questionable. However, Wojnarowski also relays that Randle's official availability likely won't be known until after he goes through his usual pre-game routine, so check back in ahead of Saturday's 6:00 p.m. ET tipoff.
Apr 13, 2023
Still not taking contact Thursday
Randle (ankle) again participated in the non-contact portions of practice Thursday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
The good news is that Randle is running full speed, and the Knicks' first playoff game isn't until Saturday. Still, it would ease fantasy managers to know that Randle is comfortable taking contact just two days before the matchup. If he's not available for Game 1, it seems possible he'll return in the middle of the series against the Cavaliers.
Apr 11, 2023
Limited participant Tuesday
Head coach Tim Thibodeau said Randle (ankle) participated in the non-contact parts of Tuesday's practice, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle sprained his left ankle at the end of March and was expected to be re-evaluated in two weeks. He missed New York's final five regular-season games, but it appears the left-handed forward has made good progress since then. However, his official injury designation for Saturday's Game 1 matchup versus the Cavaliers likely won't be known until Friday.
Mar 30, 2023
Out for rest of regular season
Randle (ankle) suffered a sprained left ankle in Wednesday's win over the Heat and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
ANALYSIS
Randle's regular season will come to a close, as the Knicks have just five games left. However, the star big man could return for a postseason run; the team currently sits in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Obi Toppin, Jericho Sims and Isaiah Hartenstein are candidates to receive an increased role in his absence. Randle will finish the regular season averaging 25.1 points, 10.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 35.5 minutes across 77 contests.
Mar 29, 2023
WIll not return
Randle has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Heat with a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Randle will finish Wednesday's tilt with three points (1-5 FG), five rebounds and an assist over 15 minutes of action. In his stead, Obi Toppin and Josh Hart could see extra looks for the remainder of the contest. Randle's next chance to play will come Friday in Cleveland.
Mar 28, 2023
Hits for 26 in win
Randle had 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 137-115 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward's rebounding has slowed down lately, but Randle remains a beast when it comes to scoring as he closes out a career-best season. Over 13 games in March, he's failed to score at least 20 points only three times while averaging 27.0 points, 7.7 boards, 4.3 assists and 3.2 threes.
Mar 23, 2023
Flirts with double-double in defeat
Randle logged 23 points (7-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Thursday's 111-106 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Randle finished as one of three Knicks players with 20 or more points in Thursday's loss, finishing second on the team in rebounds while coming up one board shy of a double-double. Randle has tallied 20 or more points with five or more rebounds in six of his last 10 appearances.
Mar 20, 2023
Erupts for career-high 57 points
Randle closed with 57 points (19-29 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes during Monday's 140-134 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Randle was unstoppable Monday, pouring in a career-high 57 points, albeit in a losing effort. As usual, Randle offered little outside of scoring, although managers will certainly give him a pass given his offensive escapades. Prior to this performance, Randle had shot no better than 40 percent from the field in five of his past six games. While this was obviously a mind-blowing performance, managers should certainly not expect this level of shooting all too often.
Mar 18, 2023
Sub-par shooting continues
Randle accumulated 20 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Randle continued to struggle from the field in the win, shooting 40 percent or less for the fifth time in his past six games. His counting stats remain solid, although as usual, his defensive contributions leave a lot to be desired. He is outside the top 100 over the past week, and despite a strong season to date, he only offers upside in points, threes, rebounds and to a lesser extent, assists.
Mar 13, 2023
Ppurs in 33 points
Randle amassed 33 points (11-24 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle and RJ Barrett were stellar in Sunday's win, and Randle enjoyed a nice bounce-back after three consecutive performances that were among his worst of the season. While double-doubles have seemed to elude him since the All-Star break, his rebound and assist numbers are still excellent. Since the All-Star break, the standout big man has averaged 28.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
Mar 11, 2023
Woeful shooting Saturday
Randle recorded 19 points (5-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 106-95 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Randle ended with 19 points in the loss, but it certainly came at a price. Unfortunately, his 5-of-24 from the field could certainly impact a weekly matchup for the worse, much to the disappointment of anyone rostering him. While it has been a terrific season for Randle, his efficiency issues, along with a lack of defense, do put a cap on his overall fantasy value.
Mar 10, 2023
Notches double-double in loss
Randle produced 23 points (8-22 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 122-117 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Randle shot poorly for the second straight game Thursday, and he's gone 13-for-39 (33.3 percent) -- including 4-for-21 from three-point range -- over the pair of contests. On a positive note, he managed to reach the double-digit mark in rebounds for the first time in eight contests and finished with his 39th double-double of the campaign. Randle is on pace to average a double-double for the third time in his career, as he's posting career-best marks of 25.2 points and 10.4 boards through 68 games.
Mar 8, 2023
Struggles with shot in loss
Randle closed with 16 points (5-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle struggled with his shot and posted his lowest scoring outing since Jan. 18. The veteran forward's eight rebounds tied him for a team high with Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart, but his lack of production in the defensive categories made this a disappointing night for fantasy managers. Coming into the contest, Randle was averaging 28.1 points on 49/39/79 shooting spilts over his last 20 appearances, so it's safe to chalk Tuesday's performance up to an off night.
Mar 6, 2023
Another solid outing
Randle amassed 31 points (11-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 47 minutes during Sunday's 131-129 double-overtime victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been on a tear since the All-Star break, posting two 40-point performances and averaging 32.2 PPG and 5.4 3-pointers made over the five contests. He continued his dominant stretch Sunday, posting his twentieth 30-point performance of the season, while knocking down another five shots from beyond the arc. He currently sits fourth in the NBA with 38 double-doubles, despite not hitting the mark since February 15. Randle has been a steal for fantasy managers this season.
Mar 4, 2023
Dominates with 43 points
Randle notched 43 points (16-25 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 122-120 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Randle was on a mission right from the start, racking up 20 points in the first quarter alone. He then proceeded to dominate in the clutch which included a game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds. There are not many players as hot as Randle is these days, as he came into Friday averaging 26.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.6 triples in his previous 10 games. He'll get another tough matchup against Boston on Sunday.
Mar 2, 2023
Comes close to triple-double
Randle chipped in 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 142-118 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Randle finished just two rebounds and two assists away from recording a triple-double, and the big man continues to establish himself as one of the best power forwards in the Eastern Conference. He's scored at least 20 points in all but one of his 12 outings since the beginning of February, a span in which he's also racked up six double-doubles -- though none following the All-Star break.
Feb 28, 2023
Solid production in win
Randle provided 23 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 109-94 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle was less than efficient Monday night, but he still tied Immanuel Quickley with a team-high 23 points, marking his 15th 20-point game over his last 17 appearances. During that stretch, the lefty forward is averaging 27.5 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists with 48/36/79 shooting splits. Randle has certainly rebounded this season following a slight regression last year and is back to producing like he did during the 2020-21 campaign, when he averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists -- all career highs.
Feb 24, 2023
Blows up for 46 points in win
Randle finished with 46 points (16-29 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 115-109 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle came out of the All-Star break on fire, putting up a season-high 46 points Friday on the back of an efficient shooting night, including knocking down seven of 14 attempts from behind the arc. This was Randle's third 40-point performance of the season so far, as the eight-year pro is averaging a career-high 24.8 PPG this season. He chipped in on defense with two steals as well in what was a solid outing to start the stretch run. Randle continues to be a top-25 player for fantasy managers.
Feb 16, 2023
Big double-double against Hawks
Randle supplied 25 points (9-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
It's Randle's 38th double-double of the season, including eight in the last 10 games. Since the beginning of January, the 28-year-old forward is averaging 25.9 points, 12.4 boards, 4.7 assists and 2.8 threes, numbers which have helped lead him to his second All-Star appearance this weekend.
Feb 11, 2023
Efficient double-double Friday
Randle accumulated 30 points (11-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Randle came into Friday's matchup with Philadelphia having recorded seven double-doubles in his last ten contests and added another Friday night.

Randle amassed 22 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 102-98 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was his Eastern Conference-leading 35th of the season. In fact, since the calendar flipped to 2023, Randle has 16 double-doubles in 19 games, and in each of the three misses he came just one rebound short.

Comes close to triple-double
Randle contributed 24 points (8-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Randle ended just one rebound and three assists away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign, and he ended just one rebound away from posting his fifth straight double-double.

Randle is averaging 26.1 points, 13.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game since the start of January.

Jan 15, 2023
Sets season high in double-double

Jan 10, 2023
Seventh straight double-double

As long as he continues to see huge shooting volume -- he's averaging better than 20 FG attempts a night since the beginning of December -- Randle's production isn't likely to slow down.
Jan 7, 2023
Double-double streak continues
Randle finished Friday's 112-108 victory over the Raptors with 32 points (10-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes.

Jan 2, 2023
Leads from deep in double-double
Randle notched 28 points (7-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 102-83 win over the Suns.

ANALYSIS
Randle has been on a tear of late and nothing changed Thursday despite the loss. Randle has now scored at least 29 points in five consecutive games, putting the Knicks on his back. Unfortunately, they have also lost all five games during that span, a far cry from their eight-game winning streak. As long as both R.J. Barrett (finger) and Jalen Brunson (hip) are out, Randle should be able to continue putting up some gaudy stat lines.
Dec 28, 2022
Monster double-double in OT loss
Randle posted 29 points (11-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 18 rebounds and four assists across 45 minutes during Tuesday's 126-121 overtime loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been excellent as a two-way threat of late, recording seven double-doubles over his last eight appearances while also putting up at least 29 points in each of his last four outings.

Scores 35 points in loss

Records another double-double

ANALYSIS
Randle scored 18 of his 29 points in the second half as he went 7-for-12 from the field. It was the sixth straight game that he's recorded a double-double and he's averaging 24.9 points and 12.7 rebounds in that span. After getting off to a slow start this year, Randle has put together another strong season, and his 22.7 points and 9.4 rebounds are in line with his production over the previous four years.
Dec 22, 2022
Strong double-double in loss
Randle posted 30 points (13-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been consistent of late and has scored at least 25 points in six of his last eight contests, as he's shown the ability to be one of New York's go-to players on offense as the team enjoys a strong run of form. Even though Randle has to share touches with Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett, he has managed to produce and stay relevant across all fantasy formats. He's averaging 25.6 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in December.
Dec 15, 2022
Strong showing vs. Bulls
Randle contributed 31 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists over 46 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 overtime victory in Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Randle led the Knicks in scoring despite having a slightly below-average shooting night. He erupted for 15 of his 31 points in the first quarter, shooting 4-for-8 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown while also racking up four rebounds and one assist. Randle has been on a tear of late, posting 30-plus points in three of his last four appearances.
Dec 11, 2022
Ejected Sunday
Randle was ejected in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Kings after being assessed a pair of technical fouls, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle put up 27 first-half points Sunday but was held scoreless after halftime prior to being ejected. He finished the game with 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes. It wouldn't be surprising to see him available for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
Dec 10, 2022
Posts another big stat line Friday
Randle totaled 33 points (9-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 121-102 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle didn't quite match the monster 34/17/5 line he put up in his previous contest, but he was nonetheless dominant against Charlotte, leading all scorers with 33 points. His production was split pretty evenly, with 19 points coming in the first half and 14 in the final two quarters. Randle has now recorded back-to-back games of 30-plus points for the first time this season, and he's combined to go 10-for-22 from beyond the arc in the two-game span.
Dec 7, 2022
Monster game Wednesday
Randle finished with 34 points (10-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-89 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Randle dominated the third quarter as he scored 19 points and grabbed five rebounds and New York outscored Atlanta by 10 points in the period. It was his 10th double-double of the season and the first time he recorded more than 12 rebounds. He got off to a bit of a slow start this year and was averaging just 17.6 points per game through his first eight contests. Since then, he's scored 23.5 points and pulled down 8.7 boards per game while making 47.7 percent of his shots and 37.0 percent of his three-pointers.
Dec 4, 2022
Carries Knicks despite loss
Randle chipped in 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The lack of consistency in Randle's game has been alarming, but he seems to be trending in the right direction and has now scored at least 20 points in four of his last six appearances. That's certainly a welcomed sign for a player that has managed to score 20 or more points in at least three straight games just once all season long. Randle remains valuable in all fantasy formats, but an uptick in his game-to-game consistency would go a long way in boosting his value across the board.
Dec 1, 2022
Struggles from field in loss
Randle had 18 points (8-24 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 109-103 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Randle had a rough night shooting the ball on Wednesday, knocking down just three of 11 shot attempts for seven points in the first half before going 5-of-13 over the final two quarters as New York lost its fourth straight home game. After hitting six threes in the Knicks' previous contest, Randle went just 1-of-8 from beyond the arc against Milwaukee. The Knicks forward did, however, add eight rebounds and five assists and has had at least five rebounds and five assists in each of his last three games while averaging 22.6 points over that stretch.
Nov 29, 2022
Posts monster scoring night
Randle racked up 36 points (14-24 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 140-110 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Randle scored a game-high 36 points, which also marks his best scoring performance of the season so far. He did so by locking in from beyond the arc while also shooting 58.3 percent from the field. The forward also did his usual damage on the glass and as a passer. Randle is averaging 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 steal over his last four matchups.
Nov 26, 2022
Stuffs stat sheet in OT loss
Randle closed with 23 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Friday's 132-129 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Randle didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still provided a solid stat line across the board. The veteran forward has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five outings, and while his numbers have improved compared to the 2021-22 campaign, he is still dealing with some inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis. He's still putting up 22.2 points per game over his last five appearances, though.
Nov 22, 2022
Notches another double-double
Randle amassed 25 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Monday's 129-119 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Randle showed improvement from the field after shooting 4-for-11 in his last matchup Sunday against the Suns. He also collected 11 boards, resulting in his eighth double-double of the 2022-23 campaign over 18 contests. The Kentucky product has yet to miss a game this season and is averaging 20.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 32.7 minutes.
Nov 17, 2022
Carries Knicks to victory Wednesday
Randle provided 34 points (11-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and four steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Randle was dynamic in the win, delivering managers a fantasy gem on both ends of the floor. Despite a few ups and downs, Randle has been solid to start the season, putting up fringe top-50 value over the past two weeks. His effort on the defensive end is sometimes questionable, as is his efficiency. With that said, those who drafted him should have been prepared given his track record, making the season so far a passable effort.
Nov 12, 2022
Comes close to double-double
Randle provided 21 points (8-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 121-112 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been sniffing the double-double territory constantly of late, as he has scored at least 17 points with at least eight boards in each of his last five games while recording two double-doubles in that span.

Nov 10, 2022
Paces scoring effort
Randle scored 24 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3PT, 6-9 FT) and added 11 rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle entered this contest coming off his best scoring night of the young season, and he came through with another strong effort despite taking a 112-85 loss. He's already tallied five double-doubles through 11 games, and more recently, he's finished with 20-plus points in three straight contests.
Nov 8, 2022
Scores season-high 31 points
Randle registered 31 points (9-15 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 120-107 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Randle tied his career high with eight made three pointers en route to a season-high 31 points. The veteran big man is posting 20.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 33.7 minutes per game, which is right around where he finished the 2021-22 campaign, but Randle is producing at a slightly more efficient clip this season, which bodes well for his overall potential moving forward.
Nov 5, 2022
Turns in another double-double
Randle finished with 29 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 40 minutes during Saturday's 133-118 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle has now registered a double-double in back-to-back contests, and he also turned in his best scoring performance of the young season on a solid shooting night. The Kentucky product continues to serve as a valuable source of points and rebounds for fantasy managers and has also shown he can dish out a few assists her and there.
Nov 5, 2022
Bounces back with double-double
Randle accumulated 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 106-104 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Randle bounced back from an ugly 14-point performance (4-12 FG) against the Hawks on Wednesday, and while the efficiency numbers are still not where they should be, the scoring figures were a minor step in the right direction. The star forward has had an underwhelming season for his standards, though, reaching the 20-point mark just twice thus far and averaging only 17.6 points per game, the lowest mark of his four-year stint in New York.
Oct 28, 2022
Double-doubles in loss
Randle had 14 points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Randle notched a double-double in the loss but struggled to find any rhythm on the offensive end. Poor efficiency has been an ongoing issue for Randle, something that keeps his overall value down. Anyone who drafted him should be prepared for nights like this, leaving him as a solid late mid-round fantasy asset.
Oct 25, 2022
Pops for 25-and-12 in win
Randle had 25 points (10-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 115-102 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Randle produced another strong performance Monday, continuing what has been a nice start to the season. Coming off a season in which he finished well outside the top 100, Randle appears to have made some adjustments to his game. Before managers go getting too excited, the sample size needs to be factored in. While the numbers are nice, things will need to be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks to see if the trend can continue.
Oct 19, 2022
Big double-double in OT loss
Randle totaled 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 115-112 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward vowed this offseason to put a tumultuous 2021-22 campaign behind him, and Randle lived up to his word in the Knicks' opener. He led the team in both scoring and rebounding, while only Jalen Brunson dished more assists for New York. Randle will look to help his club get into the win column Friday against the Pistons.
Oct 15, 2022
Cold shooting night
Randle had 10 points (3-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in Friday's 105-89 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle entered Friday's game with a healthy .484/.353/.778 percent shooting slash through three prior preseason contests. His three-point shooting is a swing factor to monitor. Randle connected on just 30.8 percent last season after hitting 41.1 percent of his threes in 2020-21.
Oct 13, 2022
Scores 13, dishes five assists
Randle scored 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3 Pt) to go along with eight rebounds, five assists and a block in 25 minutes during the Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Randle got off to a hot start on Wednesday night, going 2-of-2 from the three-point line while handing out four assists in the first quarter, three of which led to three-pointers. He added another assist for a Mitchell Robinson dunk in the second quarter while going 2-of-3 from the field in the period. The Knicks power forward only made one shot in the second half but did add another four boards in the third quarter before sitting on the bench for the entirety of the fourth.
Oct 4, 2022
Drops 15 in preseason win
Randle scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding six rebounds and four assists in 18 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a disappointing and turbulent season that still saw him average nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds a game, Randle is looking to re-establish himself as a reliable part of the Knicks' lineup this year. The 27-year-old still has three years plus a player option left on his current contract, and while a bounce-back campaign could make it easier for the front office to trade him, showing strong chemistry with RJ Barrett and new addition Jalen Brunson could also get him back in the organization's good graces.
Apr 2, 2022
Likely out for season
Randle (quadriceps) will likely be forced to miss the remainder of the season, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Tom Thibodeau had already ruled Randle out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers and Sunday's game against Orlando, and it appears as though the 27-year-old will be unavailable for the final week of the regular season. If he's ultimately sidelined down the stretch, Obi Toppin should continue to serve as a starter while Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims see additional run off the bench. Randle had started in each of his 72 appearances this year and averaged 20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 35.3 minutes per game.
Apr 1, 2022
Ruled out for Saturday
Randle (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A sore right quadriceps has already cost the forward three games, but he's been able to play in each of the Knicks' last three contests. However, during that stretch, he averaged just 15.3 points on 34.9 percent shooting. Katz relays that New York has labeled Randle as day-to-day, and as of now, there are no plans to shut him down for the remainder of the season.

Grabs 13 boards in win
Randle accumulated five points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes during Monday's 109-104 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Randle hauled in 13 rebounds during the win, salvaging what was a terrible shooting night. To put things in perspective, Randle has now shot under 30 percent from the floor in four of his past five games. Over that span, he has contributed a combined three steals and two blocks, highlighting just how empty his fantasy lines can be. While he remains a must-roster player, managers certainly have to be prepared for some wildly inconsistent shooting.
Mar 27, 2022
Erratic from line in return
Randle (quadriceps) finished with 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes Sunday in the Knicks' 104-102 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Though he turned in a relatively typical performance in his return to action following a three-game absence, Randle's poor showing from the free-throw line limited the overall impact of his fantasy line. Though his counting numbers are down across the board from his career-best 2020-21 campaign, Randle's decline in his overall efficiency is perhaps the most notable reason why he's been somewhat of a disappointment for those that invested in him. He entered Sunday with a 51.1 true shooting percentage, a rate down 5.6 points from 2020-21 and also his lowest mark since 2015-16.
Mar 27, 2022
Starting Sunday
Randle (quadriceps) will start Sunday's contest against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle missed the Knicks' three previous contests due to a quadriceps injury, but he'll return to action Sunday. It's unclear if he'll be under a minutes restriction, but his presence should mean a lesser role for Obi Toppin, who had drawn three consecutive starts.
Mar 25, 2022
Ruled out Friday
Randle (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Miami, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle was a game-time decision for Friday's matchup, and he'll ultimately be sidelined for a third consecutive game. Obi Toppin will likely draw a third consecutive start.
Mar 25, 2022
Will be game-time decision
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Randle (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Heat, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle has missed back-to-back contests but could return Friday. If he's available, it's possible he'll be under a minutes limit, as the Knicks are all but out of the playoff picture.
Mar 24, 2022
Questionable Friday
Randle (quadriceps) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Randle has missed the past two games but could return Friday. If he does, a minutes limit is possible, especially with the Knicks all but out of the playoff picture.
Mar 23, 2022
Out Wednesday, as expected
Randle (quadriceps) is unavailable for Wednesdays' game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest, so it's no surprise he won't be suiting up at Charlotte. Obi Toppin is likely to draw another start while Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims split time at center with Mitchell Robinson (back) also out.
Mar 23, 2022
Unlikely to play Wednesday
Randle (quadriceps) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle sat out the first half of the Knicks' back-to-back set Tuesday due to a sore right quadriceps tendon, and it appears he'll remain out for the second half as well. In his likely absence, Obi Toppin figures to draw another start, while Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims are candidates for increased roles off the bench.
Mar 22, 2022
Sitting out with quad injury
Randle is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to a sore right quadriceps tendon, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle will be in street clothes for the first time since Jan. 2 while he tends to what appears to be a new quad issue, as he didn't appear on any of the Knicks' recent injury reports. Because Tuesday marks the front end of a back-to-back set for New York, Randle's absence against the Hawks may just be a rest day. Randle will eye a return to the lineup Wednesday in Charlotte, while Obi Toppin should get the chance to play heavy minutes Tuesday while likely making what would be his third start of the season.
Mar 20, 2022
Atrocious shooting continues
Randle posted 13 points (6-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Randle failed to shoot better than 30 percent from the floor for the third consecutive game Sunday. To say he has been a drag on your efficiency would be putting it nicely. To be more specific, over the past three games, he has shot a woeful 17-of-61 from the field. In that time he has contributed just one steal and one block, capping off what has been a real low point. He remains a must-roster player but managers will certainly be hoping he can get things going on the offensive end, sooner rather than later.
Mar 18, 2022
Grabs season-high 17 boards in win
Randle had 18 points (6-22 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 17 rebounds and four assists over 39 minutes during Friday's 100-97 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle was a monster on the glass, racking up a season-high 17 rebounds Friday. The boards are obviously nice for fantasy managers but it does not take away from the fact he failed to record a defensive stat and shot poorly from both the field and the line. Despite consistent production on the offensive end, Randle's overall upside is capped by these flaws, making him a nice mid-round asset, nothing more.
Mar 14, 2022
Solid despite low rebound total
Randle amassed 26 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Randle had an impact as a scorer, but Sunday resulted in Randle's lowest rebound total of the season. The Knicks outrebounded the Nets, 40-39, but more boards from Randle could have helped close the gap down the stretch. Randle averages almost 10 rebounds per game, so Sunday's result, while significant, is probably just a blip on the radar for the standout big man.
Mar 12, 2022
Gets NBA opportunity in Phoenix
Lundberg and the Suns agreed Saturday on a one-year, two-way contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Lundberg, a 27-year-old combo guard from Denmark, joins Ish Wainright as a two-way player on the Phoenix roster. He had previously spent the 2021-22 season in the EuroLeague with CSKA Moscow, ultimately leaving the club earlier this month in the wake of the ongoing political conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Lundberg had been in the midst of a strong season with CSKA, averaging 9.1 points (on 44.6 percent shooting from the field), 2.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 21.1 minutes per contest.
Mar 11, 2022
Hot streak continues in loss
Randle ended Friday's 118-114 loss to the Grizzlies with 36 points (11-27 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle is on a tear right now, having scored at least 25 points in five of his past six games. His percentages remain a bit of an issue but with across-the-board production like this, there is very little for managers to be complaining about. With the Knicks still pushing hard to get into the playoffs, Randle is going to be logging heavy minutes moving forward, making him a solid ROS asset.
Mar 10, 2022
Leads team with 26 points
Randle finished Wednesday's 107-77 win over Dallas with 26 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Despite the decisive blowout, Randle was o the court for 34 minutes. The extended time was atypical for Randle, who tends to fade down the stretch in garbage time. The standout big man is starting off strong in March, averaging 26.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in five games this month.
Mar 8, 2022
Explodes for career-best 46 points
Randle registered 46 points (18-31 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 131-115 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Randle's 16 three-point attempts and eight makes were each the most of his career and helped him attain his highest scoring mark as a professional. The veteran forward scored 17 of his points in a big third quarter and went 12-for-17 from the field in the second half of the contest. This was a huge bounce-back game for Randle, as he scored just 10 points on 4-of-16 shooting in his previous contest. Monday's performance was also his first double-double in five games.
Mar 5, 2022
Scores 25 in loss at buzzer
Randle closed with 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes before getting ejected from Friday's 115-114 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Cameron Johnson sunk the Knicks with a buzzer-beating three-pointer, but Randle provided fantasy managers with a solid, all-around stat line. Over his last 11 games, Randle is averaging 25.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 threes, but his shooting percentages are still lagging behind (42.8% FG; 28.6% 3Pt).
Mar 5, 2022
Ejected from Friday's game
Randle was ejected from Friday's game against the Suns late in the third quarter after being assessed his second technical foul, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle shoved Cameron Johnson with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter Friday, and he'll be unavailable for the remainder of the game. Prior to his departure, he led the Knicks in scoring with 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT) along with seven rebounds, four assists and a steal in 28 minutes. Assuming he doesn't face a suspension for Friday's incident, he should continue to play a prominent role Sunday against the Clippers.
Feb 17, 2022
Continues dominant play
Randle amassed 31 points (10-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle scored 30-plus points for a second straight contest and registered his seventh double-double over his last eight games. During that stretch, he's averaged 28.1 points, 12.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 38.8 minutes per game. However, the Knicks have lost all but one of those contests and have struggled to stick in the playoff race. Regardless of the team's overall success, Randle's fantasy potential should remain high when the Knicks return to action following the All-Star break.
Feb 15, 2022
Delivers triple-double
Randle posted 30 points (11-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds and 10 assists over 45 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 127-123 overtime loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Randle provided a spark on both ends of the court for the Knicks and posted his first triple-double of the season, but he has been nothing short of magnificent over the last few weeks. Randle has one triple-double and five double-doubles over his last seven contests while also scoring at least 28 points in each of his last six games.
Feb 13, 2022
Monster line in loss to Blazers
Randle provided 28 points (8-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 16 rebounds and six assists over 41 minutes during Saturday's 112-103 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been the scapegoat for the Knicks' struggles this season, and while his number are down across the board from his stellar 2020-21 campaign, he's started to look more like his old self of late. Randle has scored at least 28 points in five straight games, notching four double-doubles and posting 29.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.4 threes per contest during that span.
Feb 11, 2022
Matches season high with 16 boards
Randle tallied 28 points (10-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 37 minutes Thursday in the Knicks' 116-114 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
While Randle's percentages across the board are in steep decline in 2021-22 following his all-NBA second-team campaign, the eighth-year forward is at least continuing to dominate the usage for New York. He's maintained usage rates better than 30 percent in each of the Knicks' last four games, averaging 29.5 points, 6.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers while supplementing the offensive production with 12.0 boards, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks. With New York standing pat at the trade deadline and with No. 2 scorer RJ Barrett day-to-day with an ankle sprain, Randle could continue to enjoy a short-term spike in output.
Feb 9, 2022
Versatile effort despite loss
Randle recorded 28 points (11-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 132-115 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Randle had a double-double and ended just four assists away from posting a triple-double, but even if that wasn't enough, he also left his mark on the defensive end with three steals -- just the fourth time he records multiple steals since the beginning of January and first time in February. The power forward has now scored 28 or more points in three straight contests and seems to be leaving a rough stretch behind, as he averaged just 14.4 points per game between Jan. 20 and Feb. 2.
Feb 8, 2022
30 points not enough against Jazz
Randle notched 30 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Randle led the Knicks in scoring and reached the 30-point mark for the second straight game, though New York fell further out of the play-in picture with its third straight loss. The veteran big man has been playing well despite the team's struggles, averaging 26.7 points, 11.3 boards and 7.0 assists during the skid. Randle isn't producing at quite the same level as during last season's career-best campaign, but he has still provided plenty of big games and is averaging 18.9 points, 9.9 boards, 5.1 dimes and 1.6 three-pointers overall.
Feb 6, 2022
Monster performance not enough
Randle recorded 32 points (11-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks across 41 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 overtime loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle finished with at least 30 points and 16 rebounds for the third time this season. He also dished out a team-high seven assists and blocked multiple shots for the first time since Jan. 18. The veteran forward put together one of his best all-around performances of the season, but it wasn't enough to stop LeBron James and the Lakers from mounting a 21-point, second-half comeback. Randle's offensive efficiency has regressed mightily after a career season just a year ago, but he's still more than capable of putting together a prolific stat line. He'll look to build off his strong performance during the Knicks' upcoming four-game road trip.
Feb 3, 2022
Near triple-double before ejection
Randle provided 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 37 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 120-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Randle was just one assist shy of his first triple-double of the season before he was ejected in the fourth quarter for getting into a scuffle with Desmond Bane during a timeout. Over his last 10 games, the star forward has averaged 16.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 34.0 minutes while shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 26.1 percent from three. The Knicks are just 3-7 during that stretch, and while Randle's production hasn't been horrible, he's significantly regressed from a year ago, when he averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game.
Jan 29, 2022
Down bad in loss to Bucks
Randle finished Friday's 123-108 loss to Milwaukee with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle's nightmare month of January continued Friday, as he took just nine shots in 37 minutes and was repeatedly swallowed up by Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks' defense. Over his last 10 games, Randle is down to 14.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game while committing 3.5 turnovers and shooting 38.4 percent from the field, 72.1 percent at the line at 25.6 percent from three. He'll look to close out the month on a higher note Monday against the Kings.
Jan 27, 2022
Struggles again, Knicks blown out
Randle totaled 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Randle continues to spiral, as the Knicks fell for the fifth time in their last six games. The 2020-21 Most Improved Player simply has not been the same guy this season, and he's particularly bottomed out of late, averaging just 15.9 points on 37.4 percent shooting (23.3% 3Pt) over his last 14 games. For the season, Randle's averages are down across the board, but his massive regression as a three-point shooter -- 30.7% 3Pt, compared to 41.1% 3Pt last season -- has been the biggest disappointment.
Jan 24, 2022
One rebound shy of double-double
Randle produced 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes during Sunday's 110-102 victory over Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
Randle enjoyed an accurate night on the floor and posted great ancillary numbers to pad his stat line. Sunday was an excellent bounce-back for Randle, who struggled mightily against the Pelicans in his previous game, scoring only four points.
Jan 19, 2022
Near triple-double in loss
Randle notched 21 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, four blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Randle struggled with his shot but was able to salvage his scoring production by drawing 11 trips to the free-throw line -- his most since going 12-14 against the Magic on Oct. 24. The star big man also tied his season high with nine assists, a mark he's reached five times, and was a force defensively, notching four blocks and two steals in the same game for the second time this year. Overall, Randle continues to be a threat to stuff the stat sheet in numerous ways and remains a solid fantasy option in all formats.
Jan 17, 2022
Records double-double Monday
Randle produced 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 97-87 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Randle converted just 37.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in Monday's defeat, but he tied for the highest scoring total on the team against Charlotte. The 27-year-old's double-double was his third in the last five games, and he's averaged 14.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 35.4 minutes per contest during that time.
Jan 13, 2022
Comes close to triple-double
Randle finished with 17 points (6-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 108-85 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Randle needed 17 shots to score 17 points and the lack of efficiency continues to be a season-long issue with him, but he supplied that with an excellent all-around effort and ended just two assists away from recording a triple-double. Randle has three double-doubles over his last five games.
Jan 6, 2022
Near double-double in win
Randle contributed 22 points (8-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle fell two rebounds shy of a second straight double-double since returning from a two-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols. The 6-foot-8 forward has struggled to match his offensive efficiency from his career year last season, but he's still averaging 10.1 rebounds per game, which is good for 12th best in the NBA. Due to his consistent production and high usage rate, Randle is expected to be a high-floor fantasy option that is capable of an occasional offensive outburst.
Jan 5, 2022
Goes for 30-and-16 in return
Randle finished with 30 points (12-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 104-94 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
In true Tom Thibodeau style, Randle was shown no mercy, logging an instance 39 minutes dispute only just returning from the health and safety protocols. This should come as no shock given the track record when it comes to playing guys way too many minutes. Fantasy managers have to be thrilled, however, with Randle putting up some tasty numbers. The hope is that he can add some more on the defensive end moving forward, as he attempts to turn things around after an indifferent past few weeks.
Jan 4, 2022
Available Tuesday
Randle (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Randle cleared the protocols earlier in the day and was considered questionable due to conditioning concerns, and he'll take the court for the Knicks. The 27-year-old missed only two games while in the health and safety protocols, so he shouldn't face significant limitations upon his return, if any.
Jan 4, 2022
Clears protocols, could go Tuesday
Randle cleared COVID-19 protocols and could be available for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks are officially listing Randle as questionable, so his status will likely be determined by his level of conditioning. Randle entered protocols Friday and only missed two games, so if he does play Tuesday it would essentially be the best-case scenario for the Knicks, who fell to the Thunder and Raptors by a combined 30 points in Randle's absence.
Dec 30, 2021
Enters health and safety protocols
Randle was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been ruled out for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, but it's not yet clear whether he's tested positive for COVID-19. Obi Toppin, Danuel House (finger) and Kevin Knox could see increased playing time in his absence.
Dec 24, 2021
Scores 23, Knicks lose to Wiz
Randle logged 23 points (10-22 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Randle scored at least 20 points for the fifth straight game, but it wasn't enough to earn the victory on a night when the Wizards hit 16 threes and shot 56.0 percent from the field as a team. Randle continues to be the engine of the Knicks' offense, but his numbers are down across the board relative to his breakout 2020-21 season. Most notable, Randle is shooting just 32.0 percent from three after drilling a career-high (by far) 41.1 percent of his attempts from downtown last season.
Dec 17, 2021
Struggles from field in win
Randle totaled 21 points (6-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes Thursday in a 116-103 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Randle had trouble getting his shots to fall in the win, though he did convert all six of his attempts from the charity stripe. The star forward partially atoned for the poor shooting night by chipping in six assists and six boards along with three three-pointers. Randle is shooting just 37.9 percent from the field over his past six games, and his current 42.8 percent field-goal rate on the season would be the lowest of his career.
Dec 4, 2021
Flirts with triple-double in loss
Randle recorded 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists and seven rebounds in 35 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Randle has put up great numbers over the past three games but the Knicks have lost each time. His points and assists and down compared to last season, but he's still returning third-round fantasy value in terms of total production.
Dec 3, 2021
No free throws, no problem
Randle finished with 30 points (14-21 FG, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Bulls. He also had seven turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Randle supplied a monster double-double, featuring four offensive rebounds to boot. While his turnovers hurt the Knicks' comeback bid, Randle was the only Knick to make more than six shots in the contest. He'll look to lead a victory against the Nuggets on Saturday.
Dec 1, 2021
Strong performance in loss
Randle scored 24 points (11-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), along with nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals during Tuesday's 112-110 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle bounced back well after combining for 17 points on 6-of-22 shooting over his previous two games. Flirting with a triple double, Randle has continued to be a versatile contributor, although he has now failed to hit a trey in three straight games. He'll look to break that streak against the Bulls on Thursday.
Nov 24, 2021
Third straight double-double
Randle ended with 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle tied his season-best output in terms of rebounds and also recorded a double-double for the third straight game, as he's turning things around following a slow start to the season. He's averaging 20.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game in 12 November appearances, with seven double-doubles in that stretch.
Nov 22, 2021
Puts up 34-and-10 double-double
Randle had 34 points (13-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Randle was the only Knicks player who looked engaged on the offensive end, finishing with his highest points total since opening night. The Knicks are a mess right now and someone needs to take it upon themselves to get out of the hole they are in. Randle is the obvious choice, and so fantasy managers will be hoping he can build off this performance.
Nov 16, 2021
Double-double despite shooting woes
Randle accumulated 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 92-84 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Randle didn't shoot the ball well, but he supplied that lack of efficiency with his eighth double-digit rebound game of the season and his second straight outing with at least five assists. The star forward has been inconsistent to start the season, and while saying he has regressed might be a stretch considering he's still scoring 20.3 points per game while averaging a career-best 10.4 rebounds per contest, he doesn't appear to have the same influence he had on last season's team.
Nov 10, 2021
Mediocre in ugly game
Randle finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 27 minutes in a 112-100 loss to the Bucks on Wednesday night.
ANALYSIS
With the Knicks scoring just 42 points in the first half, Coach Tom Thibodeua turned to the second unit for a spark. Randle was the only starter with a semi-normal workload. Even then, Wednesday marked an outlier of sorts, but Randle had averaged 27.3 points on 46.4 percent shooting over his previous three contests.
Nov 9, 2021
Dominating performance
Randle scored 31 points (12-25 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), along with 12 rebounds, three assists and a steal in a 103-96 win over the 76ers on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Randle was the only Knick to score more than 15 points in what was a defensively-oriented contest. Additionally, he and RJ Barrett (6-20 FG) were the only Knicks to attempt more than nine shots. Randle has three double-doubles and two 30-point games over his previous four contests. One of these outbursts came against Milwaukee, who New York will face again on Wednesday.

Impressive against Bucks
Randle delivered 32 points (11-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 33 minutes in Friday's win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Randle has now registered a double-double in two straight games, and he has accomplished that feat in six of his nine games thus far. One of the league's most versatile power forwards, Randle has been quite productive even if his scoring numbers have not been as good as they were last season. He's scoring 21.9 points while putting up 11.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game through nine games.
Nov 4, 2021
Collects hearty double-double
Randle posted 18 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and a steal over 37 minutes in a 111-98 loss to the Pacers on Wednesday night.
ANALYSIS
Randle was moderately inefficient, but remained aggressive and gobbled up 14 rebounds -- including five offensive rebounds -- en route to a quality performance. The budding emergence of R.J. Barrett has eaten into some of Randle's volume, but Randle is still the engine of the Knicks' offense and the most dependable source of fantasy production. Randle is averaging 21.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists through eight games.
Nov 2, 2021
Nears double-double
Randle delivered 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and a block across 37 minutes in Monday's loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Randle was coming off three straight games with 16 or fewer points, so this was a nice bounce-back for the star forward. He's now posted four games with at least 20 points and also has four double-doubles through four appearances, so his role as one of New York's biggest scoring threats is not under question by any means.
Oct 31, 2021
Quiet in win over Pels
Randle finished Saturday's win over the Pelicans with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and two turnovers in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been the unquestioned engine of the Knicks' offense since the start of last season, but he took a back seat to Kemba Walker, RJ Barrett and Evan Fournier, who all scored at least 19 points in the 123-117 victory. For the most part, Randle has looked like the player who took home the 2020-21 Most Improved Player award, though he's now scored 16, 13 and 10 points, respectively, over the Knicks' last three contests (all wins).
Oct 29, 2021
Hauls in 16 rebounds
Randle scored 13 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), along with 16 rebounds, nine assists and a steal in Thursday's 104-103 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Randle was swarmed defensively for much of the game, with extra attention being a major factor in the low scoring output. Somewhat counterintuitively, Chicago experienced more success and nearly completed a fourth-quarter comeback when they stopped double teaming Randle. Still nearly logging a triple-double, Randle will look to boom against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Oct 26, 2021
Productive again
Randle scored 16 points (7-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt), along with 11 rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 112-99 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
This was Randle's quietest overall output yet -- an exciting fact for fantasy managers given the quality performance. In a game where the Knicks led comfortably throughout most of the second half, Randle wasn't needed to carry a massive offensive load. He has become one of the more well-rounded players in the league and is still just 26 years old.
Oct 24, 2021
Dominant against Orlando
Randle compiled 30 points (8-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 16 rebounds, four blocks, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 110-104 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Randle wasn't particularly efficient from the floor as the Knicks suffered their first defeat of the season Sunday, but he had plenty of opportunities from the charity stripe and led the team in scoring as a result. The 26-year-old has scored at least 21 points in each of his first three appearances of the season and has posted double-doubles in each of the last two games.
Oct 23, 2021
Double-double in win
Randle posted a double-double with 21 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) and 10 rebounds to go along with seven assists and two steals in Friday's 121-96 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Randle did his damage in just 30 minutes after logging 46 in a double-overtime victory on opening night. Relatively disapointing postseason aside, the big man is picking up right where he left off as the team's No. 1 option early on this season.
Oct 21, 2021
Scores team-high 35
Randle posted 35 points (12-27 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds and three blocks in the Knicks' 138-134 win over the Celtics on Wednesday night. He also had seven turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Randle logged 46 minutes in what was a double-overtime victory for the Knicks. Randle thriving after an unceremonious playoff exit bodes well for his growth. He climbed to a career-high 24.1 points per game season. The Knicks will face the Magic on Friday.
Oct 13, 2021
Goes for 29 and 11
Randle finished Wednesday's preseason win over Detroit with 29 points (11-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks were without a few regulars, including Kemba Walker (rest), but they essentially treated this game as a dress rehearsal for the regular season. Randle was one of four starters to play at least 30 minutes, and he turned in the kind of all-around performance fantasy managers got used to seeing during his breakout 2020-21 campaign. Randle will have more help around him in 2021-22, but he remains the clear focal point of the Knicks' offense.
Oct 8, 2021
Won't play Saturday
Randle (personal) won't play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Wizards, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle excelled in the preseason opener, notching 20 points and nine rebounds across 30 minutes. The 6-foot-8 forward will sit out Saturday's game due to personal reasons, but he will look to return to action against the Pistons on Wednesday.
Oct 5, 2021
Excels in preseason opener
Randle played 30 minutes in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers, posting 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in the victory.
ANALYSIS
Randle picked up right where he left off last regular season, as he made easy work of the Pacers and led the Knicks in both scoring and rebounding. New York has more weapons than last season, however, so we shouldn't be surprised if the forward takes a minor step back in 2021-22.
Aug 5, 2021
Reaches extension
Randle agreed Thursday with the Knicks on a four-year, $117 million contract extension, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The deal includes a player option for 2025-26.
ANALYSIS
Randle was on the books for $19.8 million in the final season of his contract with the Knicks in 2021-22, but he'll get some longer-term security following a career-best campaign in which he became a first-time All-Star and took home the NBA Most Improved Player Award. Rather than waiting for his deal to expire after the upcoming season and pursuing a max deal as an unrestricted free agent next summer, Randle's decision to extend his contract will afford the Knicks some extra financial flexibility to shape the roster around him. After leading the NBA in minutes per game (37.6) in 2020-21, Randle should once again get all the run he can handle heading into his third season with New York, but he may lose out on some usage with the Knicks bringing aboard Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier earlier in the offseason.
Jun 2, 2021
Inefficient in playoff exit
Randle mustered 23 points (8-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Randle wasn't efficient by any means but still led the Knicks in their playoff exit. That was the trend during the entire season, though, as Randle delivered a career-best season that resulted in him winning the Most Improved Player of the Year award. The former Kentucky standout posted double-doubles in every playoff game while also averaging 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 0.9 steals across 37.5 minutes per game during the regular season.
May 30, 2021
Scores 23 in best game of series
Randle finished Sunday's Game 4 against the Hawks with 23 points (7-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After beginning the series with three straight games of scoring 15 points or fewer, Randle finally got things going Sunday, but it wasn't nearly enough to keep the Knicks competitive in a game they let slip away in the third quarter. It was an encouraging bounceback for Randle, individually, though he did commit five turnovers while finishing as a minus-17. With their backs against the wall, the Knicks will head back to Madison Square Garden for Game 5 on Wednesday night.
May 29, 2021
Another double-double Friday
Randle scored 14 points (2-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT) while adding 11 rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 105-94 loss to the Hawks in Game 3.
ANALYSIS
His awful shooting night was a huge factor in the Knicks falling behind 2-1 in the series, but Randle still delivered his third straight double-double to begin the postseason. He's averaging 14.7 points, 11.7 boards and 2.0 threes against Atlanta, but Randle will need to improve significantly on his 24.1 percent shooting from the floor if New York is going to advance to the next round.
May 26, 2021
Double-double in win
Randle registered 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old's shooting woes continued Wednesday as he made only 5-of-16 shot attempts from the field. Over his last two games, Randle is averaging 15.0 points on 28.2 percent field-goal shooting, which is a far cry from the 24.1 points on 45.6 percent shooting he achieved through 71 games during the regular season. The seven-year forward will look to bounce back shooting-wise in Game 3 on Friday.
May 25, 2021
Named Most Improved Player
Randle was named the 2020-21 Most Improved Player of the Year, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old excelled during his second year in New York with new coach Tom Thibodeau, and he averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 37.6 minutes, all of which match or set career-high marks. Randle also shot 41.1 percent on three-pointers and 81.1 percent from the charity stripe to set career highs to lead the Knicks back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
May 23, 2021
Rough night in Game 1 loss
Randle finished Sunday's Game 1 loss to Atlanta with 15 points (6-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists.
ANALYSIS
Even with Randle having one of his worst games of the season, the Knicks were able to stay in the game and even control the pace for much of the second half. Randle hit just four of his 17 two-point-field-goal attempts, while getting to the line only twice in 36 minutes -- well below his regular-season average (6.0 FTA/G). Randle and the Knicks will look to bounce back in Wednesday's Game 2.
May 16, 2021
Strong effort despite poor shooting
Randle finished with 20 points (5-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 96-92 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle closed the regular season with another strong performance, although it certainly wasn't his best shooting night. The win secures the four seed for the Knicks and they will now host the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs. Based on what we have seen thus far this season, Randle is almost certainly going to log heavy minutes on a nightly basis, no matter the scoreline.
May 14, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in win
Randle mustered 25 points (7-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and a steal across 45 minutes in Thursday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Randle didn't have a good shooting performance, but he made his 10 shots from the charity and finished just one rebound and one assist shy of putting up a triple-double. The star forward is averaging 23.9 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in seven appearances this month.
May 12, 2021
Pours 31 in OT loss
Randle had 31 points (11-26 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 44 minutes in Tuesday's overtime loss against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Randle was coming off three straight games where he couldn't reach the 25-point threshold, but he was the Knicks' most effective offensively player in this one -- something that speaks volumes of the team's struggles in this one. The star forward is averaging 26.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists over his last 10 contests.
May 9, 2021
Registers double-double in win
Randle tallied 14 points (7-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 14 rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes in Sunday's 106-100 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Randle hasn't been as efficient with his shot, shooting just 39.7 percent from the floor over his last four games. Despite his troubles putting the ball in the basket, he still has two 20-point performances over that span while registering two double-doubles. On the year, Randle is averaging career highs in points and rebounds while connecting on a career best from beyond the arc and the charity stripe.
May 8, 2021
Puts up 24 and 11 in loss
Randle had 24 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in Friday's loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Randle was able to salvage his first double-double since April 24, but it wasn't enough as the Knicks fell in blowout fashion for the second straight game. Nonetheless, Randle remains among the league's biggest surprise players this season, and he'll have a good chance to make his first All-NBA team when the votes are cast following the end of the regular season.
May 6, 2021
Slow start restricts output
Randle totaled 14 points (5-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 113-97 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The best adjective to describe the Knicks in Wednesday's loss was 'unprepared,' as they were utterly destroyed in the first quarter. When your top player can't get things going, it spells trouble for the rest of the team, and Randle found minimal traction in the loss. He suffered through one of his worst scoring performances of the season, and things won't get any easier for the big man later in the week. He will face the Suns on Friday and the Clippers on Sunday.
May 3, 2021
Strong performance Monday
Randle registered 28 points (9-23 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Randle wasn't sharp from the field and needed 23 shots to score 28 points, but he supplied that lack of efficiency with strong contributions in other categories. Even though this was far from being his best game, it's worth noting Randle has now scored at least 25 points in five of his last six appearances while grabbing at least six rebounds in each one of those contests as well.
May 3, 2021
Carries Knicks on Sunday
Randle delivered 31 points (13-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Sunday's win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Randle continues to navigate through the best season of his career and has scored at least 30 points in four of his last five games, a span in which he's also notched two double-doubles. The All-Star forward is averaging 27.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game since the beginning of April.
Apr 28, 2021
Scores 34 in win
Randle had 34 points (12-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a block in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Randle bounced back from a lackluster effort -- by his standards -- Monday against Phoenix with his third 30-plus-point game in his last four appearances. Randle continues to be among the league's biggest breakouts, and the Knicks will continue to lean heavily on the first-time-All-Star the rest of the way.
Apr 26, 2021
Struggles from field in loss
Randle delivered 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Monday's loss against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Randle's streak of three straight double-doubles came to an end Monday, and it was also just the third he's scored under 20 points across his last 10 appearances. The star forward had an off night from the floor, but that shouldn't change his status as the Knicks' go-to player on offense for the final weeks of the regular season.
Apr 24, 2021
Posts 38th double-double
Randle tallied 31 points (10-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one assists in 39 minutes during Saturday's 120-103 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old started Saturday's game hot with eight straight points and never looked back. Randle now has 11 30-point games on the season and is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. The seventh-year forward will look to keep the good times rolling Monday at home against the Suns.
Apr 22, 2021
Another dominant performance
Randle posted 40 points (11-21 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and a steal across 41 minutes in Wednesday's overtime win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Aside from draining six treys, Randle had an excellent performance on both ends of the court and finished just four assists shy of recording his sixth triple-double of the campaign. The star forward has scored at least 30 points in five of his last six games and has reached the 40-point plateau twice in that span.
Apr 20, 2021
Double-doubles with seven dimes
Randle tallied 16 points (5-16 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old snapped his four-game streak of scoring 30-plus points but still managed to put up an all-around gem. Before Tuesday's game, Randle was averaging an otherworldly 35.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 3.8 three-pointers and 2.0 steals over his past four games. The seventh-year forward is having a breakout year and should continue playing 35-45 minutes the rest of the way for the sixth-seeded Knicks.
Apr 18, 2021
Another heroic effort in OT win
Randle posted 33 points (11-28 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds and five steals in Sunday's overtime win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a 44-point outburst against Dallas on Friday, Randle followed up with another impressive effort, topping 30 points for the fourth straight game. Randle saw a season-high 47 minutes of action, and he's now played 47, 41, 42, 39, 38, 38, 37, and 39 minutes, respectively, over his last eight games.
Apr 17, 2021
Goes off for 44 points Friday
Randle tallied 44 points (16-29 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 41 minutes in Friday's 117-109 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Randle was hot from the outset, scoring 15 of New York's first 23 points. He never really slowed down, tying his season high in scoring and falling just one point below his career-best mark. Randle has dominated over his past three games, averaging 36.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 4.3 three-pointers. He's enjoying the finest season of his career, helping the Knicks stay in the thick of the playoff race with a 30-27 record. That should help him get ample playing time down the stretch.
Apr 15, 2021
Puts up game-high 32 points
Randle delivered 32 points (11-26 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 42 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Randle was inaccurate from the field, but he didn't appear to have those issues when shooting from deep -- he looked sharp from beyond the arc and has made at least five treys in a single game five times already. Randle might have an off night here and there from a shooting perspective, but he remains the Knicks' go-to player on offense. He has registered 24 straight games with 20 or more points.
Apr 12, 2021
Posts 34-point double-double
Randle tallied 34 points (13-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old scored 30-plus points for the first time since March 23. Through 54 games, Randle is averaging career highs in points (23.0), rebounds (10.7), steals (0.9) and three-pointers (2.0). The seventh-year forward is enjoying a career year and is looking at a ton of minutes the rest of the way for the eighth-seeded Knicks.
Apr 12, 2021
Scores game-high 26 points
Randle mustered 26 points (7-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 11-11 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes in Sunday's win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Randle carried the Knicks offensively and once again delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court while contributing in several categories across the board. The fact that Randle has scored more than 25 points just thrice over his last nine appearances might be a slight cause for concern, but his role as the Knicks' go-to player on offense is unquestioned -- that alone should make him an elite fantasy asset that can fill the stat sheet on any given night.
Apr 10, 2021
Puts up triple-double in win
Randle recorded 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes in Friday's overtime win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Randle struggled badly from the field and it's safe to say his nine trips to the charity stripe salvaged what would've otherwise been a woeful scoring output, but he still found a way to deliver value and notched his second triple-double over his last three appearances. The former Kentucky standout and first-time All-Star is having a career-best season in most categories and that includes the triple-double department, as he has reached that mark five times already.
Apr 8, 2021
Fills stat sheet against Boston
Randle recorded 22 points (9-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Randle ended just one rebound shy of putting up what would've been his third double-double over his last five appearances, but he also shot the ball poorly and needed 23 field-goal attempts to record 22 points. The shooting woes have been an issue for Randle of late, though, as he has made just 38.4 percent of his shots over his last four games.
Apr 5, 2021
Records fifth triple-double
Randle scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Monday's loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle wasn't particularly sharp from the field, missing all of his shots from three-point range. However, he was excellent across the rest of the box score to record his fifth triple-double of the season. While his defensive contributions shouldn't be relied upon going forward, Randle has played over 30 minutes in 12 straight games and should be an excellent source of volume stats for the remainder of the campaign.
Apr 4, 2021
Goes for 29 points in win
Randle notched 29 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle surpassed the 20-point mark once again -- something he has done in five of his last seven appearances -- and continues to be the Knicks' go-to player on offense. While he couldn't post a third straight double-double, the All-Star big man continues to make his presence felt on both ends of the court and has grabbed at least eight boards in five games in a row aside from scoring at a strong clip on a nightly basis.
Apr 3, 2021
Gives peculiar double-double
Randle recorded 14 points (5-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 assists, eight rebounds, one steal and one block Friday in a 99-86 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted a double-double, but it marked the first time this season during which he did so by recording double figures in assists instead of rebounds. It was also largely unpleasant due to his shooting performance. Randle's 5-of-20 shooting line marked his lowest shot percentage of the season with at least 20 shots attempted.
Mar 31, 2021
Posts strong double-double
Randle delivered 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Randle carried the Knicks offensively once again and paced them in multiple categories, leading the team in points, rebounds and assists. The first-time All-Star has been the Knicks' most consistent and dominant performer all season long, and he has scored 20-plus points in four of his last five outings. He also has five double-doubles in his last nine games.
Mar 29, 2021
Scores 22 in losing effort
Randle finished with 22 points (7-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in Monday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Randle shook off a bruised thigh to once again lead the way for New York on a night when the Knicks had only three players score in double-figures. His assists totals have been on the decline of late, however, as he has just 12 total dimes over his last four games since handing out a career-high 17 against the Magic on March 18.
Mar 29, 2021
Available Monday
Randle (thigh) will play in Monday's matchup with the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle was considered a game-time decision heading into the evening and has apparently showed the Knicks' training staff enough prior to tip-off to get the green light. He will return from a one-game absence. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.
Mar 28, 2021
Questionable Monday
Randle (thigh) is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat, Peter Botte of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle sat out Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a right thigh contusion, but he has a chance to return to the court Monday. Obi Toppin, Kevin Knox and Taj Gibson could see increased run if Randle is unavailable.
Mar 27, 2021
Won't play Saturday
Randle (thigh) is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was originally considered questionable for Saturday's contest before being downgraded to questionable, and he's now been ruled out. Obi Toppin, Kevin Knox and Taj Gibsom will be in the mix for heavier roles in Randle's absence.
Mar 27, 2021
Downgraded to questionable
Randle (thigh) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Initially listed as probable, Randle's thigh is apparently feeling worse than anticipated. If he sits out, Obi Toppin, Kevin Knox and Taj Gibson would all be candidates for extra run.
Mar 26, 2021
Probable Saturday
Randle is probable for Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a right thigh contusion.
ANALYSIS
Randle was inefficient during Thursday's win over Washington, and he apparently sustained a thigh injury during the contest. However, he appears likely to play once again Saturday.
Mar 25, 2021
Struggles from field in win
Randle tallied 13 points (5-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 106-102 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old struggled with his shot, shooting just 31 percent from the field on 16 attempts. Coming into Thursday's game, Randle was averaging 23.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 47 percent from the field. He will look to bounce back on Saturday on the road against the Bucks.
Mar 23, 2021
Explodes for 37 points
Randle went for 37 points (13-24 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Randle was coming off three straight games where he couldn't reach the 25-point mark -- a string of subpar performances for this season's standards -- but he bounced back admirably here and contributed heavily in the scoring column. Randle has now scored at least 30 points in five different games, and this is the second time he does it before the All-Star break. For what is worth, he had last surpassed the 35-point mark in a 123-112 win over the Hawks on Feb. 15.
Mar 22, 2021
Grabs five steals in loss
Randle finished Sunday's loss to the 76ers with 24 points (7-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and five steals.
ANALYSIS
Randle played a whopping 46 minutes in the overtime loss, and while it was a rough night from the field, he saved a strong fantasy line with a season-high five steals. The All-Star was coming off of a monster triple-double in Thursday's win over Orlando, when he posted 18 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high 17 assists.
Mar 18, 2021
Hands out 17 assists in win
Randle went for 18 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 assists, 10 rebounds and a steal in Thursday's win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
It was another monster night for Randle, who handed out a career-high assists total while notching his third triple-double of the season. Randle has been among the league's most dependable night-to-night fantasy contributors, and he'll finish out the week with a matchup against the Sixers at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
Mar 17, 2021
Near triple-double in loss
Randle scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds and eight assists in a 99-96 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Randle continued his dominant play by notching his 26th double-double of the season. The Knicks' star was also just two assists shy of his third triple-double. The forward has impressed all season, averaging team-high point, rebound and assist totals on the year. Look for Randle's production to continue throughout the second half of the season with New York in the playoff mix.
Mar 15, 2021
Double-double in Monday's loss
Randle tallied 33 points (13-27 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three steals during Monday's 117-112 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Randle followed up his sensational triple-double this past Saturday with a strong double-double in this one, as the forward led the Knicks both offensively and off the glass in 41 minutes of action. Randle has now recorded at least 10 rebounds in 10 of the past 12 games while reaching at least 20 points in eight of those. Randle will look to stay hot when the Knicks travel to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Mar 13, 2021
Delivers triple-double in win
Randle tallied 26 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-92 win against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old followed up his worst performance of the season with one of his best. Randle recorded his second triple-double of the season while adding a couple of swipes for good measure. The first-time All-Star is a major reason the Knicks are currently the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. Randle should continue seeing 35-40 minutes per game the rest of the way.
Mar 12, 2021
Low-scoring performance
Randle registered seven points (3-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists and one block Thursday in a 134-101 loss at Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Randle logged his season worsts for scoring and minutes (29) against the Bucks. Randle's seven points also marked the first time in which he logged a single figure over said category since Feb. 21 last year. Randle clearly suffered facing reigning DPOY Giannis Antetokounmpo but is slated to compete in an easier matchup Saturday at Oklahoma City.
Mar 3, 2021
Double-doubles in loss
Randle mustered 14 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and a block across 31 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Randle delivered the fifth double-double of his last six games, but he struggled badly from the field and saw the end of his nine-game streak with 20-plus points. Randle will hope for a bounce-back performance Thursday against the Pistons before participating in the first All-Star Game of his career.
Mar 1, 2021
Puts up 25 points Sunday
Randle had 25 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block across 38 minutes in Sunday's win at Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Randle carried the Knicks offensively once again but delivered a strong performance across the board. While he saw his streak of double-doubles stop at four games, he now has scored 20-plus points in his last nine games, averaging 26.6 points while shooting 52.4 percent from the field during that stretch.
Feb 28, 2021
Dominates against Pacers
Randle recorded 28 points (12-222 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals Saturday in a 110-107 win versus Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Randle supplied a highly versatile stat line against the Pacers. He excelled more than usual on defense by restricting Domantas Sabonis to 15 points, grabbing nine defensive rebounds and tying his season high of four steals. Randle's fourth consecutive double-double Saturday was also the 22nd he has recorded across his 34 games this season.
Feb 26, 2021
Third straight double-double
Randle totaled 21 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Knicks' 140-121 victory over the Kings on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Randle picked up his third straight double-double with some efficient shooting and strong defensive rebounding. The forward is having the best year of his career in his second season with New York, averaging career-high point, rebound and assist totals. Randle joins Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only players in the NBA averaging at least 23 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists this season.
Feb 24, 2021
Double-double in loss
Randle scored 25 points (8-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and added 10 rebounds and seven assists in the Knicks' 114-106 loss to the Warriors on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
While Randle was able to record his tenth 20-plus point performance of the month, the Knicks couldn't pull out a victory. Randle was also just three assists shy of his second triple-double of the season. The forward has been super productive in February, averaging 25.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
Feb 21, 2021
Records 25/14 double-double
Randle provided 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes in Sunday's 103-99 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Randle ended his double-double drought after failing to meet the milestone for three consecutive games. The loss of Mitchell Robinson to injury has placed more pressure on Randle to hold up the frontcourt, and his superlative play is putting the Knicks in the playoff conversation. IF the season ended today, they would squeak in as the eighth seed in East.
Feb 17, 2021
Drops 25 points in loss
Randle went for 25 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during the Knicks' 107-89 loss to the Magic on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Randle made one-third of the Knicks field goals made and was one of only three players to score in double figures in the loss to the Magic. While his season as a whole has been impressive, he's been even more impressive during this recent stretch. Over his last 10 games, Randle has topped 20 points nine times, including a 44-point outburst, dished out at least five assists in five of those games and while adding five double-doubles.
Feb 16, 2021
Saturday's game postponed
Randle and Knicks will not play Saturday after their game against the Spurs was postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Randle and the Knicks now have two games remaining this week -- Feb. 17 against the Magic and Feb. 21 against against Minnesota. The team's game against the Spurs will presumably be made up at a later date this season.
Feb 15, 2021
Explodes for 44 points
Randle registered 44 points (14-22 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 9-12 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes in Monday's win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Randle put up a season-high scoring mark by a wide margin -- his previous season-high mark was 30 points -- but this one will go down as one of the best games of his career so far. This was Randle's second game with at least 40 points in his career, and he also delivered a career-high in three-pointers made. The star forward is in the midst of an All-Star caliber season and extended his sizzling scoring run, as he has scored 20 or more points in eight of his last nine contests.
Feb 14, 2021
One board shy of double-double
Randle registered 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a block across 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Randle came just one board shy of putting up his 19th double-double of the season, but the star forward continues to show progress and is firmly entrenched as the Knicks' go-to player on offense. Randle has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight appearances, averaging 22.9 points per game during that eight-game span.
Feb 12, 2021
Monster double-double in win
Randle dropped 24 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes in Friday's win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
This was certainly a bounce-back game for Randle who made just 22.2 percent of his shots Tuesday en route to a 12-point, eight-rebound performance. His 18 rebounds were a season high and it was the sixth time this season he's topped 15 boards. Randle has now hit the 20-point mark six times in his last seven games while adding five double-doubles along the way.
Feb 9, 2021
Horiffic shooting effort
Randle scored 12 points (4-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Randle had a dreadful shooting night, posting only a 30.4 true shooting percentage. The struggles were out of character for him to this point in the campaign, as he entered the game with a 47.7 percent field-goal percentage -- up 1.7 points from his first season in New York. Even considering the relatively poor effort, Randle found other ways to chip and now has three multi-steal performances in his last five contests.
Feb 6, 2021
Double-doubles in win
Randle posted 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists during Saturday's 110-99 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Randle's All-Star caliber campaign keeps chugging along, and Saturday's performance marked Randle's 16th double-double of the season and also the 16th time he's recorded at least 20 points.
Feb 4, 2021
Drills five threes
Randle scored 27 points (11-20 FG, 5-7 3PT, 0-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Randle drilled a career-best five threes to propel another strong scoring performance. While much of this stat line is what has come to be expected, Randle has quietly increased his defensive output of late. After averaging only 0.5 steals per game through his first 11 games, Randle has averaged 1.1 swipes in his following 12 contests. That only increases his already strong fantasy value, as he's averaging 22.6 points, 6.0 assists and 10.9 boards through 23 games this season.
Feb 1, 2021
Another strong performance in loss
Randle scored 23 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3PT, 8-9 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Monday's loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Randle put together his second consecutive double-double, though both games resulted in losses for the Knicks. More notable were his two steals, as the effort marked only the fifth time in 22 games that he has managed multiple swipes in one contest. Randle continues to see heavy minutes, which help his counting stats. However, he's also shot the ball well on increased volume, with both his field goal and free-throw percentages improving from his initial season in New York.
Jan 31, 2021
Double-doubles in loss
Randle scored a team-high 27 points (9-18 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go with 12 rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in a 123-115 loss to the Clippers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Randle notched his sixth double-double over his last eight games, his 14th of the season. The power forward is averaging double-digit rebounds for the second time in his career, the first time since his 2015 season. Randle has scored 25 or more points in eight games throughout January, and has enjoyed his highest scoring production of his career at 22.2 points per game so far this season.
Jan 29, 2021
Fills stat sheet Friday
Randle registered 16 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Randle ended just two rebounds shy of posting another double-double, and while his scoring figures weren't as high as they've been most of the season, he continues to provide value as a prolific, do-it-all player while working as the Knicks' go-to guy on offense. Randle was unable to maintain the efficiency he showed in the first few weeks of the season, but he has scored at least 15 points in all but one game this month -- he also has 10 double-doubles in 15 January appearances.
Jan 25, 2021
Records 25 points against Blazers
Randle had 25 points (7-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Randle's performance Sunday was somewhat disappointing. He shot under 40 percent and ended his streak of double-doubles at four. However, the fact that his performance Sunday was underwhelming has shown just how fantastic he's been during this campaign. Randle is on pace to average a career-best 22.7 points and 11.3 rebounds in his second season with New York.
Jan 23, 2021
Registers another double-double
Randle totaled 26 points (8-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 15 rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes in Friday's victory over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Randle did not convert a three-pointer for the first time since Jan. 11, but he was otherwise impressive yet again in what is shaping up to be his finest NBA campaign. The 26-year-old has notched 11 double-doubles and one triple-double thus far in only 17 games, and he has double-doubled in each of his last four contests. Over that span, Randle is averaging 20.8 points, 15.3 boards and 4.5 dimes per game.
Jan 22, 2021
Nearly notches triple-double
Randle finished with 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 17 rebounds and nine assists in Thursday's victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been a force on the boards of late, tying his season high with 17 rebounds in each of his past two games. Though his shot wasn't falling Thursday, the former Kentucky Wildcat still finished with double-digit points for the 16th straight time this season while also dishing nine assists. Randle has taken a step forward in 2020-21 with career-high per-game averages across a number of categories, including points (22.4), rebounds (11.4), assists (6.3) and three-pointers (1.4).
Jan 18, 2021
Grabs 17 boards in win
Randle went for 21 points (5-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist in 39 minutes during the Knicks' 91-84 win Monday over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The 17 rebounds were a season-high as were his 13 free throw attempts. Otherwise, Randle could not buy a basket and his 26.3 percent shooting snapped a streak of three consecutive games making better than 50 percent of his shots.
Jan 17, 2021
Scores 20 in win
Randle finished with 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 boards, four assists, and three steals in a 105-75 win against the Celtics on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Randle lead his team in scoring as he helped end a five-game slide. The double-double ended a three game drought after he had been on a roll with eight consecutive double-doubles. He'll face the Magic on Monday.
Jan 15, 2021
Goes strong in loss Friday
Randle recorded 28 points (11-20 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes during the 106-103 loss to Cleveland on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Randle once again posted a strong outing in the loss Friday. The forward may not have had the strongest shooting night, but still led the team in points and overall production. Randle has not had many dull nights this season and continues to be one of the top performers for the Knicks who are struggling to find ways to win. He will continue to be viable as long as he can remain in starting rotation with his excess of minutes.
Jan 13, 2021
Ties season-high with 30 points
Randle went off for 30 points (13-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes in Wednesday's 116-109 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle bounced back after a dreadful 11-point performance on Monday. He made a season-high 13 shots while playing the most minutes in Wednesday's loss. Randle is enjoying career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, three-point shooting percentage, and free throw percentage.
Jan 11, 2021
Eighth consecutive double-double
Randle notched 29 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Randle has registered eight straight double-doubles and has one triple-double in that span as well, as the big man has settled as New York's go-to player on offense while also showing his potential cleaning up the glass. Randle has also dished out seven or more assists in six of those games and has emerged as one of the most versatile power forwards in The Association during the last few weeks.
Jan 8, 2021
Records seventh double-double
Randle compiled 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 101-89 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Expectations were high for Randle coming into this season, and he's delivered with a slew of excellent stat lines. Randle's recent popularity as a chalky DFS player is well-warranted, and his prowess as a double-double producer makes Randle a valuable power forward.
Jan 6, 2021
Big double-double against Jazz
Randle scored a season-high 30 points (10-26 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT) while adding 16 rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old continues to have a renaissance under new Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau. Randle has reeled off six straight double-doubles, but it's his new-found distribution skills that have been the most impressive development, and he's recorded at least five assists in seven of eight games to begin the season. The result has been an average of 7.4 dimes a game, more than double his previous career high of 3.6. Randle will look to stay locked in against the Thunder on Friday.
Jan 4, 2021
Posts monstrous line against Hawks
Randle scored 28 points (11-19 FG, 0-5 3PT, 6-8 FT) to go along with 17 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 43 minutes in Monday's win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted his fifth consecutive double-double and racked up a season-high 17 boards in the process. Equally notable was Randle's continued opportunity to handle the ball, as entered the game averaging 7.2 assists -- over double his best mark over any season in his career. While his enhanced role has been largely positive for his stat line, Randle turned the ball over seven times on Monday and has at least four turnovers in five contests early on this season.
Jan 1, 2021
Another double-double
Randle recorded 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and a block across 38 minutes in Thursday's loss against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Randle posted his third straight double-double and is enjoying a strong start to the season -- even if he struggled massively from the floor in this one. The versatile power forward is averaging 23.0 points, 10.4 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game over his five appearances to date, all of them as a starter. He has also played at least 35 minutes in every one of those contests.
Dec 29, 2020
Records triple-double
Randle scored 28 points (9-16 FG, 4-4 3PT, 6-10 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 44 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Randle recorded the seventh triple-double of his career, also matching his career-high assist total in the process. He's now scored at least 25 points in three consecutive games and is averaging over 10 rebounds per game for the campaign. On the other hand, Randle has averaged more than four turnovers per game and has contributed only two steals and one block across four contests.
Dec 27, 2020
Scores game-high 29 points
Randle registered 29 points (8-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and a block across 37 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Randle came close to post double-doubles in each of his first two games of the season, but he saved his best performance for this one -- he ended just three assists shy of a triple-double while pacing the Knicks in both points and rebounds. Randle will try to keep this strong start to the season alive Tuesday on the road against the Cavaliers.
Dec 27, 2020
Drops team-high 25 on Saturday
Randle had 25 points (11-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal during a 109-89 loss versus Philadelphia on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Randle briefly kept the Knicks in Saturday's game with 18 first-half points. But once he lost steam, the team followed suit en route to a loss in the home opener. Randle's weekend will not get any easier as he faces reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Sunday.
Dec 24, 2020
Drops 17 against Indiana
Randle finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine boards, and nine assists in 35 minutes of a 121-107 loss to the Pacers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Randle was one board and one assist shy of a triple-double in the contest, and his +/- reflected that, with his team clearly better with him on the floor than off. The Knicks aren't projected to be anywhere near the playoffs, but that should give Randle plenty of opportunities to show off what he can do. He'll face the 76ers on Saturday.
Dec 18, 2020
Two assists shy of double-double
Randle recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Friday's 119-83 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Randle is expected to be one of the Knicks' main scoring threats this season and, even though that wasn't noticeable here, he left his mark as a passer with eight assists -- his season-best mark from last season was seven dimes. Randle should stand out due to his scoring prowess, however, and he averaged 19.5 points per game. He will try to improve on those numbers in 2020-21.
Dec 17, 2020
Paces Knicks with 18 points
Randle scored 18 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-6 FT), had five rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 100-93 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Randle paced the Knicks with his 18 points, including a solid 70% shooting from the floor. The forward's role should remain solid with the Knicks and he provides a good offensive floor coming off a year where he took the highest amount of shot attempts per game.
Dec 14, 2020
Fills stat sheet in loss
Randle tallied 18 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes of Sunday's 99-91 preseason loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle was the Knicks' second-leading scorer on the evening and also put forward solid contributions in other categories. Despite the nice evening, the 26-year-old has started the preseason a bit cold, shooting just 40.9 percent from the field through two games. He has a couple more chances to get up to speed before the regular season, however, starting with Wednesday's home tilt against Cleveland.
Dec 11, 2020
Flirts with triple-double
Randle scored 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during the Knicks' 90-84 Friday night win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Despite not recording a triple-double all of last season, Randle has at times displayed skills as a capable passer. On a night where no knick scored more than 15 points, Randle was responsible for some of the distribution. New York's abundance of hybrid forwards may present a logjam at times, but Randle can reasonably be viewed as the top fantasy option for the Knicks.
Mar 9, 2020
Records double-double in win
Randle compiled (7-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three steals and an assist across 33 minutes in Sunday's 96-84 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Randle has recorded seven double-doubles over his last ten games, but it hasn't kept the Knicks above water. Despite Randle's excellent play, they went 3-7 over that span and have exhausted any chance to gain much ground in the East. Despite the team's current woes, the standout big man is averaging 19.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists through 62 games this season.
Mar 4, 2020
Scores 32, grabs 11 boards
Randle recorded 32 points (12-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Randle logged his fourth straight double-double and has scored at least 30 in two of the last four tilts. While he typically hands out a few assists to go along with his solid scoring and rebounding contributions, the lack of defensive stats is quite normal for Randle. He'll look to keep his double-double streak alive during Friday's bout versus the Thunder.
Mar 3, 2020
Third straight double-double
Randle notched 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes during Monday's 125-123 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Randle has registered double-doubles in three straight contests, and he has reached that feat six times in his last eight contests. He continues to be the Knicks' main scoring and rebounding threat on a nightly basis -- thus giving him decent upside in all formats -- even if his shooting could use some work. The promising power forward is shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three during that eight-game stretch.
Feb 27, 2020
Double-doubles with 30 and 10
Randle posted 30 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
While double-doubles are nothing new to Randle, fantasy owners will love to see such a large helping of points. The Knicks may have lost, but the 25-year old was quite dominant in this one. However, it is worth mentioning that the 76ers were without Joel Embiid (shoulder sprain). Although Randle is playing a career-high number of minutes per game, his overall fantasy value is as low as it's been since his sophomore season in the league. One of the main reasons for this is that his 45.5 percent shooting from the field is as low as it's been since that time. The Knicks frontcourt - and the team in general - has been a struggle, and it's tough to envision things getting much better this season.

Another double-double
Randle went for 17 points (5-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 123-112 loss at Houston.
ANALYSIS
Randle has been one of the Knicks' main offensive weapons all season long, and he has three double-doubles in his last four appearances. Through eight February starts, the power forward is averaging 19.4 points and 11.4 rebounds per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field.
Feb 9, 2020
Racks up 35 points, 18 boards
Randle amassed 35 points (13-25 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 46 minutes during Sunday's 140-135 double-overtime loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Randle matched season highs in scoring and rebounding while contributing across every category except threes. He did tally twice as many turnovers (six) as assists, but it was nevertheless a very impressive performance for the 25-year-old power forward. With 22 double-doubles through 52 appearances this season, Randle will need to build on this showing if he's going to equal or surpass his career-high double-double total of 34 (as a sophomore) back in 2015-16.
Feb 7, 2020
Nears double-double
Randle went for 22 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 105-103 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
It was another strong showing for Randle, who continues to be one of the team's most important scoring threats. The departure of Marcus Morris could increase Randle's upside on the offensive end, and he has been playing at a high level of late since he has scored 20 or more points in five of New York's last seven contests, while shooting 48.3 percent from the field over that span.
Feb 4, 2020
Pops for 20 against Cavs
Randle scored 20 points (9-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 139-134 overtime win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
With trade rumors swirling around him, Randle kept his focus and scored 20 or more points for the fourth time in the last six games. Since missing two games in January due to personal reasons, the 25-year-old is averaging a strong 20.3 points, 10.8 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals over his last 12 contests.
Feb 3, 2020
Good to go
Randle (quad) will be available for Monday's game against the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
Randle was probable coming in, so his status was never in much doubt. He'll start at his usual power forward spot.
Feb 3, 2020
Probable Monday
Randle (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Randle suffered an injury to his quadriceps during Saturday's win over the Pacers. Fortunately, the injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, as the team expects him to play against Cleveland. Look for a final call to be made on Randle's status closer to tipoff.
Feb 2, 2020
Deemed questionable Monday
Randle is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Cleveland due to a right quadricep contusion.
ANALYSIS
Randle is likely a bit banged up following his monster performance in Saturday's win over the Pacers, as the forward posted 16 points and 18 rebounds in 35 minutes of action. If the Knicks choose to limit or rule out their forward in Monday's contest, Bobby Portis could likely seize an increased workload. Clarification regarding Randle's status for Monday's contest could likely surface sometime after morning shootaround.
Feb 1, 2020
Big double-double
Randle supplied 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and two steals during the Knicks' 92-85 win over the Pacers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 18 boards were a season-high for Randle, who has now recorded a double-double in four of his past five games. Despite some continued efficiency woes, Randle has also recorded at least 13 points in 26 consecutive games. The Cavaliers' porous defense awaits the Knicks in their next game on Monday.
Jan 30, 2020
Double-double plus six dimes
Randle racked up 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Randle recorded his 20th double-double through 47 appearances, though he struggled from the field, missing all four of his three-point attempts while failing to record a steal or a block. He's actually averaging career highs in steals (0.8) and threes (1.1). However, he's really been the same old Randle this season, with quality contributions in scoring, rebounding and assists to go along with little else, plus his field-goal percentage has fallen off compared to the last few years.
Jan 29, 2020
Leads team in loss
Randle scored 24 points (10-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and added five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 97-92 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Randle turned in his third-straight game of more than 20 points but came well short of a third double-double in a row. He failed to make any of his three-point attempts for the second consecutive game and is now one for his last 16 attempts from beyond the arc.
Jan 27, 2020
Second straight double-double
Randle had 22 points (10-22 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 110-97 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Randle has posted double-doubles in four of his last seven outings, and he is averaging 20.3 points with 10.9 boards during that seven-game stretch. His shooting percentages haven't been very high thus far, but he makes up for that with volume scoring and the fact that he is the Knicks' go-to guy on offense on a nightly basis.
Jan 25, 2020
Records 20-11 in win
Randle put up 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in 34 minutes during a 118-112 defeat Friday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Randle's inside defense was sharper than usual, adding a season-high three blocks to a familiar double-digit rebounding performance. His stout offensive production unsurprisingly originated from the paint, where he scored 10 of his 20 points. After a two-game absence due to personal reasons, the former Kentucky Wildcat has averaged a near double-double since returning (20.9 points and 9.9 rebounds in his last seven contests).
Jan 22, 2020
Struggles with shot
Randle had 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and a steal over 35 minutes in the Knicks' 100-92 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday night.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday marked his lowest shooting percentage in over two weeks. Part of that can be attributed to how good Randle has been, averaging 21 points per game over his past six. The Knicks as a whole looked sluggish against a strong Los Angeles defense. The matchup doesn't get any easier next time, when the Knicks welcome the Raptors.
Jan 15, 2020
Puts up strong double-double
Randle had 25 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3PT, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 128-102 loss at Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Randle has returned on a strong form following a two-game absence, as he has racked up 51 points, 23 rebounds, seven assists and two steals while making 20 of 42 field goals during that two-game stretch. He should remain New York's main scoring threat Thursday against the Suns now that he is fully healthy once again.
Jan 12, 2020
Scores 26 to go with full line
Randle recorded 26 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals 33 minutes during Sunday's 124-121 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Randle returned to the lineup following a two-game absence for personal reasons and put forth an impressive performance. He hasn't been as good as he was for the Pelicans last season, but Randle remains a strong source of points and boards while providing solid assist totals and at least some three-point shooting.
Jan 12, 2020
Will play Sunday
Randle (persona) has rejoined the team and will be available to play in Sunday's matchup against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, the forward is back with the Knicks after a brief two-game absence dealing with personal issues. With Randle's return, Bobby Portis will presumably be demoted to a bench role. Randle will look to continue his fabulous play this season, as the 25-year-old is averaging 18.5 points and 9.1 rebounds with the Knicks.
Jan 11, 2020
Deemed probable
The Knicks have listed Randle (personal) as probable for Sunday's matchup with the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Randle has missed two consecutive games for personal reasons, but his probable designation Sunday indicates he is likely to return. Should that indeed be the case, Bobby Portis figures to return back to his reserve role.
Jan 9, 2020
Out again
Randle (personal) will not play Friday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
It'll be the second straight absence for Randle, who also missed Wednesday's game for the same reason. Bobby Portis and Kevin Knox should again be set for increased minutes, though there's a chance the Knicks could get Marcus Morris (neck) back from injury.
Jan 8, 2020
Out for personal reasons
Randle will not play due to personal reasons Wednesday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Randle will miss his first game of the season Wednesday as he attends to a personal matter. In his absence, Bobby Portis and Kevin Knox could see extra minutes.
