Knicks' Julius Randle: Erupts for career-high 57 points
Rotowire
Randle closed with a career-high 57 points (19-29 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 11-13 FT) to go with four rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes during Monday's 140-134 loss to the Timberwolves.
Randle was in reach of matching Carmelo Anthony's franchise record of 62 points after amassing 52 through the first three periods, but he lost some steam in the fourth quarter. His final line was impressive nonetheless, and despite lacking in many contributions outside of the scoring column, Randle made up for it with excellent efficiency and ample three-point production. Prior to Monday, Randle had shot no better than 40 percent from the field in five of his past six games, so fantasy managers shouldn't take the vastly improved efficiency he displayed against the Timberwolves as a sign of what's to come.

Knicks' Julius Randle: Subpar shooting continues
Rotowire
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.
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 offers upside only in points, threes, rebounds and, to a lesser extent, assists.

Knicks' Julius Randle: Pours in 33 points
Rotowire
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.
Randle and RJ Barrett were stellar in Sunday's win, and Randle enjoyed a nice bounce-back outing 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.

Knicks' Julius Randle: Woeful shooting Saturday
Rotowire
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.
Randle ended with 19 points in the loss, but he had a woeful shooting performance. His 5-of-24 mark 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 defensive stats, put a cap on his overall fantasy value.

Knicks' Julius Randle: Notches double-double in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Knicks' Julius Randle: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
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.
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 splits over his last 20 appearances, so it's safe to chalk Tuesday's performance up to an off night.

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 20th 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 Feb. 15. After a disappointing 2021-22 campaign, Randle has been a steal for fantasy managers this season.

Rotowire
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.
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 as he did during the 2020-21 campaign when he averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists -- all career highs.

Knicks' Julius Randle: Blows up for 46 points in win
Rotowire
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.
Randle came out of the All-Star break on fire, riding elite shooting from the field, three-point range and the free-throw line to a new season-high scoring total. On the back of his third 40-point performance of the season, the veteran big man is now averaging a career-high 24.8 points per contest. Though Randle's contributions in the rebounds and assists columns were lower than normal, fantasy managers are likely more than willing to accept his meager returns in those categories for the huge scoring night on efficient shooting.
