Hoard produced 14 points (6-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 45 minutes during Sunday's 138-88 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
The Thunder once again used a borderline-reckless rotation Sunday, with only six players seeing the floor and five players playing at least 40 minutes. Hoard topped 40 minutes for the fourth time in his last six appearances and posted his fourth double-double during that span. The Wake Forest product has turned in some eye-popping stat lines down the stretch, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to stick with the Thunder -- or another team -- on a full NBA contract in 2022-23.

Hoard finished with 27 points (13-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 17 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 47 minutes during Friday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The Thunder continue to give some lesser-known players extended looks down the stretch, and Friday's game was no exception, as OKC used only six players -- five of whom played 43 minutes or more. Hoard took advantage and posted his third straight 20-plus-point effort. Over his last three games, the Wake Forest product has averaged 24.7 points, 14.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.3 threes.

Hoard notched 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 137-101 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
On the heels of his massive 24-point, 21-rebound performance against Portland on Tuesday, Hoard put up big numbers again with a team-leading 23 points against Utah in the second game of the back-to-back set. The Wake Forest product logged his third start in four games for the injury-ravaged Thunder. Hoard figures to get plenty of opportunity to produce over the final days of the regular season given the Thunder's injury woes.

Hoard had 24 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-6 FT), 21 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 46 minutes during Tuesday's 98-94 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Hoard started for the second time this month and once again showed his impressive ability on the glass. Three games in April is a very limited sample size, and Hoard shouldn't be much of a factor in any formats except perhaps deep DFS slates, but the numbers do not lie, and he's averaging 13.0 points and 15.0 rebounds per game in that three-game span.

Hoard will come off the bench Sunday against Phoenix.

Hoard chipped in 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 20 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 40 minutes during Friday's 110-101 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Hoard signed a 10-day contract with the Thunder on Friday and was immediately thrust into the starting lineup. The 23-year-old has made 21 appearances with the Thunder over the last two seasons, but Friday's outing was by far his best all-around performance. With Aleksej Pokusevski (illness) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) dealing with injuries, Hoard will likely continue to garner opportunities for the remainder of his 10-day contract, but it's unclear if he'll be able to maintain the type of production he had against Detroit.

Hoard signed a 10-day contract with the Thunder on Friday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hoard has appeared in just one NBA game this year, but he'll now join the shorthanded Thunder for the final week and a half of the regular season. Across 25 G League appearances, he's averaged 11.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 24.9 minutes per game.

Hoard mustered 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes in Saturday's 117-106 loss to the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
EDGE Analysis
Hoard was excellent on the glass Saturday but he struggled with his shooting against Sioux Falls, especially with his free throws. He's shooting just 56.7 percent from the line this season, and he should be doing better considering he was making 76.9 percent of his free throws last year for the Blue.
