Tyler Herro - 88: Having a career season, Herro's rating rose by one. He's averaging about 26 points, five assists, five rebounds and a steal since the last update.

Andrew Wiggins - 81: Despite missing 14 games since the trade, Wiggins' rating went back up (by one). He's averaging 20 points, four rebounds, four assists and 2.5 steals since March 21.

Davion Mitchell - 78: The fan favorite's rating climbed by one, averaging 13 points, 6.5 assists, three rebounds and two steals in the time frame. He is also one of the team's most played guys, averaging 34 minutes.

Kyle Anderson - 77: Another player whose rating increased by one. After being acquired as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, Anderson has become a recent mainstay in the rotation. He is averaging nine points, four rebounds, three assists and 1.5 steals since the last update.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - 76: The second-year player also saw his rating fall by one. Jaquez is playing just 10 minutes per game since the last update. He has mostly been out of the main rotation despite Andrew Wiggins, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic being out at the same time at one point.

Haywood Highsmith - 75: Lastly, the defensive stalwart also saw his rating decline by one. Although he's still a part of the regular rotation, Highsmith is shooting just 31 percent from three since his minutes have come down.
