Solid on defensive end

Analyse
While Black couldn't find his rhythm from the field, he made up for it with a strong showing on the defensive end. He's in the midst of a slump, however, as he's averaging 9.7 points on 35.3 percent shooting over his last three games with Jalen Suggs (back) sidelined for all of those.

Pops for 20 in Thursday's win
Black recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 victory over the Kings.
Analyse
It's the third time in the last four games that Black has scored at least 20 points. The No. 6 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft remains on course for a breakout campaign and should stick in the starting lineup as long as Franz Wagner (ankle) remains sidelined. Black has scored in double digits in 11 straight games, averaging 18.2 points, 3.9 boards, 3.9 assists, 2.2 threes, 2.1 steals and 0.9 blocks over that span.
