Goes 1-for-6 from distance
Knueppel recorded 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-99 loss to the Celtics.
Analyse
Knueppel has been struggling from distance over the past two games, going just 4-for-16 from three-point territory. However, he'll have an excellent chance of snapping out of his mini-slump Tuesday with a favorable matchup against the Nets in Brooklyn.

Tallies another double-double
Knueppel registered 11 points (3-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 loss to Philadelphia.
Analyse
That's now consecutive double-doubles for the rookie first-rounder and six on the campaign. Knueppel has scored in double figures in all but one of his past seven appearances, during which he's averaged 17.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game.

Makes NBA history Thursday
Knueppel registered 26 points (9-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists over 37 minutes during the Hornets' 114-103 win over the Knicks on Thursday.
Analyse
It was another strong performance out of the ROTY favorite, who connected on at least six triples for the ninth time this season and finished two assists short from registering the first triple-double of his NBA career. Knueppel's third three-pointer of the game was his 250th of the season, making him the only player age 22 or younger in NBA history to connect on 250 three-pointers in a season. The 20-year-old Duke product has been a key piece to the Hornets' resurgence this season, and since the All-Star break he has averaged 19.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 3.9 threes and 0.8 steals over 29.7 minutes per game.

Good to go Tuesday
Knueppel (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Analyse
As expected, Knueppel will shake off his probable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up against the injury-plagued Kings. The rookie first-rounder is coming off a lackluster shooting performance in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies and will look to bounce back Tuesday. Over 10 March appearances, he has averaged 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.2 triples in 29.9 minutes per contest.
