Erupts for 39 points
DeRozan generated 39 points (17-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 41 minutes of Wednesday's 117-109 loss to the Hornets.
Analyse
Charlotte had no answers for DeRozan defensively, as the veteran forward knocked down a ridiculous 80.9 percent of his attempts from inside the three-point arc. DeRozan's 39 points were a season high and his most since he dropped 42 on Feb. 10, 2025. It was a much-needed breakout game, as DeRozan had been averaging just 12.5 points, 4.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from the field over his last six appearances.

Tepid results in victory
DeRozan recorded 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over Indiana.
Analyse
Although there was no official announcement about a minute restriction, DeRozan returned to action and played only 24 minutes after a one-game absence. He connected on just four of his 13 shot attempts and appeared a step slow, which is likely due to lingering effects of his recent illness.

Not listed on injury report
DeRozan (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Analyse
DeRozan was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's win over Chicago due to an illness, though he's set to return to action Tuesday. With the veteran forward returning to the lineup, Daeqwon Plowden will likely revert to a bench role. DeRozan has averaged 12.6 points, 4.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Won't play Sunday
DeRozan has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Chicago due to an illness.
Analyse
This will be DeRozan's first missed game of the season, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers. Russell Westbrook should see a sizable uptick in usage with DeRozan out, and there should be more minutes available for Daeqwon Plowden, Doug McDermott and Malik Monk.
