EDGE Analysis

Victor Wembanyama stole the show with his impressive stat line in this blowout loss, but Castle was one of the few silver linings outside of the Frenchman, as he posted another impressive line. The rookie out of UConn has scored at least 20 points in three games in a row, which is his longest streak of the season, and he's recorded double-digit points in five of his seven January appearances so far.

EDGE Analysis

With Jeremy Sochan (back) sidelined, Castle remained in a starting role despite his five-point dud against the Bucks on Jan. 8, and he responded by tying the best scoring output of his career while establishing a new career-high in field goals made. Castle has been switching between the starting lineup and the bench, but the rookie out of UConn has been excellent when deployed in the first unit. Through 20 starts, Castle is averaging 14.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie guard has struggled to adjust to being back on the second unit, but Castle produced a solid all-round effort Tuesday. It was just the second time in the last eight games he's even scored in double digits, and Castle's averaging a tepid 7.6 points, 2.9 assists and 2.3 boards in 18.0 minutes a contest during that span, coming off the bench each time. Castle started the second half in place of Jeremy Sochan (back) and would likely stick in the starting lineup if Sochan misses additional time.

Despite a tiny workload, Castle made the most of his limited minutes. However, he picked up four quick fouls, ruining what could've been a much bigger performance. His counting stats have been solid in December, but he's shooting just 37.3 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from beyond the arc over his last nine games.

EDGE Analysis

Castle missed Friday's win over the Trail Blazers due to a left shoulder contusion, and the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable suggests the rookie could return to the hardwood for this upcoming contest after a one-game absence.
