EDGE Analysis

Carter was one of six Sacramento players who scored in double digits in this loss, and while he didn't fill the stat sheet, he found a way to contribute in four of the five major categories. Carter has scored at least 14 points in each of his last four appearances.

Carter is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a five-game absence due to a bruised right calf, Carter returned to action and wound up being thrust into a significant role because of an injury to Killian Hayes (toe). With Russell Westbrook (foot) also banged up, Carter could find himself in a position for extra ball-handling duties going forward. Across his past six outings, Carter has averaged 11.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 18.7 minutes per game.

Carter (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

After dropping a career-high 24 points during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the Pacers, Carter is sitting out the second half of Sacramento's back-to-back. Killian Hayes could be thrust into a featured role at point guard Wednesday, and Nique Clifford should also see more ballhandling chances.

Carter produced 24 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Carter set a new career high in scoring after dropping 22 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter. This was an incredible outburst by the 23-year-old, who'd been held to single figures in the scoring column in his previous three matchups. Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento pointed out that Carter appeared to be walking with a limp after the victory, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on his status leading up to the second half a back-to-back Wednesday against Charlotte.
