Graham scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT) with six assists, one rebound and one steal in a 101-93 loss to the Lakers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham continued his solid production as a scorer and distributor, scoring in double figures with at least five assists in six consecutive games. The guard is shooting 41.1 percent from distance in the 18 games since the All-Star break and has made multiple threes in all but two of those contests. Graham is averaging 15.5 points, 5.8 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals over his last six games and should continue to see plenty of offensive opportunities if Terry Rozier (knee) and Malik Monk (ankle) remain out of the lineup.

Graham posted 16 points (5-13 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Sunday's 105-101 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Hornets are struggling with injuries in the frontcourt, it's business as usual in the backcourt. Graham returned from injury a few weeks ago and jumped right into the point guard slot. He was a well-timed addition in the wake of LaMelo Ball's wrist injury. His situation may shift somewhat when Ball returns at the end of the month, but he'll be a steady source for assists and three-pointers for the time being.

Graham posted 20 points (6-12 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 26 minutes in Friday's win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was sharp from beyond the arc, but that has been a trend of late since he's made multiple threes in nine of his 10 games since he moved into the starting lineup when LaMelo Ball went down with a wrist injury. Over those 10 appearances, the third-year guard has averaged 16.4 points per game while shooting 42.0 percent from three-point range. Graham has also scored in double digits in each of his last nine contests.

Graham totaled 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and three steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 113-102 victory over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Graham continues to play well having recently been thrust into a much larger role. In fact, over his past five games, Graham has collected a combined 13 steals, an element of his game that is typically not a strength. With LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Gordon Hayward (foot) both out for a significant period of time, Graham has been able to establish himself as a must-roster player across basically every format.

Graham recorded 12 points (3-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, five steals and three rebounds across 25 minutes in Friday's win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Graham had a woeful performance from the field -- he needed 15 shots to record just 12 points -- but supplemented those subpar scoring figures with a strong effort in other categories. He was able to fill the stat sheet admirably here, and his contributions were key for the team's win, but he won't carry much upside if he keeps shooting the ball like this. Graham has found a way to get things going even when his shot isn't falling, however, and he has scored in double-digits in six games in a row.

Graham notched 13 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, a steal and a block across 21 minutes in Thursday's loss against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Graham ended the game as the Hornets' joint-highest scorer alongside Gordon Hayward despite a rough night from the floor, but the entire team struggled from the field in this one. Graham hasn't been able to deliver the same scoring numbers he put up during the 2020-21 season, but he's been a reliable scoring threat from deep and has drained two or more threes in 11 straight contests. He is shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the arc in that stretch.

Graham scored 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 29 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Graham didn't replicate his 30-point effort from Sunday, but did continue to deliver from three-point range and has now knocked in multiple shots from beyond the arc in three consecutive contests. He also delivered defensively, notching multiple steals for only the second time in his last 11 games. Graham remains a strong fit in points leagues due to his consistent volume, but will be a drain on field-goal percentage in category leagues.

Graham tallied 30 points (9-21 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists and one rebound in 39 minutes during Sunday's 101-97 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old also shot the ball a season-high 21 times. There were extra shots to go around with Malik Monk (foot) sitting out on Sunday, and Graham took advantage. With LaMelo Ball out for the season and Monk dealing with a sore foot, Graham is looking at a heavy workload for the foreseeable future. The third-year guard is an elite source of points and three-pointers when given 30-plus minutes, but his field-goal percentage will be a roller coaster.

Graham had 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and eight assists in Friday's win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Making his third start since replacing LaMelo Ball (wrist), Graham recorded his highest single-game assists total since Jan. 29, though he did turn the ball over a season-high six times in 30 minutes. The Kansas product should continue to be a good source of three-pointers (13 makes in his last three games), points and assists, but he doesn't shoot a high percentage (37.3% FG) and won't provide fantasy managers with much on the defensive end.

Graham garnered 21 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-97 victory over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday was Graham's second straight game in the starting five with LaMelo Ball (wrist) out for at least four weeks. After a modest showing in the first start -- nine points, four assists, three rebounds and one block in 29 minutes -- Graham stepped up in Wednesday's blowout win. It was the fifth time this season he's reached the 20-point mark, and it was also just the second time he's hit six threes. In games that are more competitive, Graham could cross the 30-minute threshold.
