Graham delivered 25 points (7-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Graham has scored at least 24 points while dishing out at least six assists in three straight games, and he seems to be gearing up for a strong end of the campaign -- he's taking a step forward amid the recent struggles of Terry Rozier. Graham has reached the 20-point mark just four times this month, but the fact that he's done in his last three appearances is an encouraging sign ahead of the final weeks of the regular season.

Graham scored 25 points (6-14 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT) to go along with six assists, three rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Graham got hot from three-point range in the second half of the game and knocked down four triples. While he failed to convert any of his two-point attempts, Graham has now recorded six threes in consecutive games. Graham also continues to be a reliable assist producer, as he's averaging 7.0 dimes across his last five games.

Graham registered 24 points (7-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine assists and two rebounds in 31 minutes during Sunday's 125-104 win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging just 11.0 points on 30.0 percent field-goal shooting over his past three games since returning from a two-game absence, the 26-year-old bounced back with a brilliant 24-point effort while making half of his shots. Graham has also been on a roll in the dimes department, dishing out 10 and nine assists over his last two games, respectively. The third-year guard will look to build on Sunday's bounce-back performance Tuesday at home against the Bucks.

Graham turned in 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes in Thursday's 108-91 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The spirited performance from Graham is an audition for minutes upon LaMelo Ball's return, and the Kansas product refuses to go quietly. He toiled in a backup role during Ball's coming-out party and aptly took the reins when the rookie went down. Since taking over the starting role, he's only failed to reach double-digits once and has responded with excellent assist numbers as well as respectable rebound totals. Graham is still likely to be the odd man out once Ball works back into the lineup, but he's certainly made a case for more playing time.

Graham (quadriceps) is available Tuesday against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was considered questionable with a bruised quad after missing the past two games, but he'll return to the court Tuesday in New York. Graham should rejoin the starting five and has averaged 17.0 points, 6.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 30.0 minutes over his past five games.

Graham (quad) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
A bruised quad kept Graham out of a second straight game Sunday night against Portland, but the Hornets were able to get the win with Terry Rozier leading the way. The hope is that Graham will be able to return to the starting lineup Tuesday, but official word on his status likely won't come for another 24 hours or so.

Graham (quad) will not play Sunday night against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
A quad bruise will keep Graham out of a second straight game after he missed Friday's loss to the Nets. In that game, Terry Rozier shifted down to point guard while Caleb Martin entered the starting five in Graham's place.

Graham (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was forced to miss Friday's loss to the Nets due to a left quadriceps contusion and, it's unclear if he'll be available Sunday. If he can't go, Terry Rozier and Brad Wanamaker could see increased run at point guard for the Hornets.

Graham has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets due to a left quadriceps contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Graham recorded 15 points and seven assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Cleveland, but he apparently sustained an injury that will force him to miss Friday's matchup. Terry Rozier and Brad Wanamaker (ankle) could see increased run for the Hornets with Graham sidelined. Graham's next chance to play will be Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Graham recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 5-13 3Pt), seven assists and one rebound in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 103-90 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has now scored 15-plus points over his past five games, a span in which he's averaging 17.0 points, 6.0 assists, 4.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals. With LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Gordon Hayward (foot) both out for a significant amount of time, Graham should continue providing high-end production in points, three-pointers and assists, though his field-goal percentage may be sporadic. He'll look to make it six games in a row with 15-plus points Friday on the road against the Nets.
