Randle contributed 27 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 94-85 loss to the Lakers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
After taking a back seat to some of Minnesota's role players in a Game 1 win, Randle stepped up and led the team in scoring and assists Tuesday, but he didn't get much help -- Anthony Edwards was the only other Timberwolf to score more than nine points on the night. Randle has scored at least 25 points in five of the last 11 games stretching back to the end of the regular season, averaging 19.7 points, 6.9 boards, 5.3 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.0 combined steals and blocks over that span.

Randle closed with 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-95 victory over the Lakers in Game 1 of their Western Conference quarterfinal-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Randle didn't have the kind of offensive performance expected from a player of his caliber, finishing with just 16 points in the win over the Lakers on Saturday. However, it didn't matter in the end, with Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels picking up the slack offensively, combining for 48 points to lead the team to victory on the road. Given his body of work during the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Randle up his offensive production significantly in Game 2 of the series.

Randle closed with 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 117-91 victory over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward drained five three-pointers for the second straight game, although Randle's overall production didn't match the 31-point double-double he delivered Thursday. He's having a strong finish to the regular season as Minnesota tries to claw its way out of the Play-In Tournament, averaging 20.5 points, 7.1 boards, 5.3 assists, 2.6 threes and 0.8 steals over the last eight games while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent from long distance.

Randle racked up 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 141-125 win over Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Randle recorded a double-double for the first time since March 9, when he posted 14 points and 10 assists in a win over the Spurs. The veteran forward has struggled to get into a rhythm offensively all season long, but he seems to be improving of late and looks bound to finish the campaign on a strong note. He's scored at least 25 points in four of his last seven appearances, averaging 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 0.6 steals per game over that stretch.

Randle chipped in 26 points (11-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 50 minutes during Tuesday's 140-139 double-overtime victory over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Randle is on an impressive three-game run, averaging 25.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists over the span. The Timberwolves are tough to beat when Randle and Rudy Gobert are both healthy, and Randle's partner has been equally prolific with 77 rebounds over the past five games.

Randle ended Sunday's 123-104 win over Detroit with 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Randle is aiming to end the season on a strong note, and if the Timberwolves want to make a deep playoff run, they need Randle to be at his best offensively in order to operate as the team's second option behind Anthony Edwards. Randle is doing just that, as he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games. He's averaging 18.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game since the beginning of March, but his numbers seem to be trending in the right direction.

Randle contributed 25 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 124-109 win over Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
The 25 points led all scorers on the night, as Randle bounced back from a disappointing nine-point showing in Minnesota's last game Monday. The veteran forward has delivered 20 or more points in six of 13 contests in March after missing all of February due to a groin strain, averaging 18.0 points, 6.3 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.4 threes on the month while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor.

Randle chipped in 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 134-93 victory over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony Edwards didn't have his best performance Friday, so Randle stepped up and led Minnesota in scoring in this blowout win. The star forward, who was efficient in missing just four of his 11 shots from the floor, also reached the 20-point mark for the third time over his last six appearances. Randle didn't log a single minute in February while rehabbing from a groin injury, but he's averaging a solid line of 18.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in 11 outings since the beginning of March.

Randle notched 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Randle has been remarkably consistent as the Timberwolves' second scoring option behind Anthony Edwards, and he's surpassed the 15-point mark seven times over his 10 appearances in March. He has only three double-doubles in that stretch, but Randle will remain valuable in fantasy if he stays healthy due to his ability to impact the game in more than one way.

Randle closed with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Randle has been scoring in double digits on a regular basis, and his numbers back him up as the second-best option on offense behind Anthony Edwards. The uptick in efficiency has been noticeable since his return to the hardwood March 2. Over nine contests this month, Randle is averaging 18.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while shooting an impressive 50.5 percent from the floor.
