  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Scores season-high 28 points

    Carter finished Friday's 138-127 victory over the Mavericks with 28 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.

    Carter not only led the Magic in scoring in this win, but he also delivered a season-high mark in scoring -- his previous season-best output was a 26-point effort against the Nuggets on Dec. 18. Carter is ending the regular season on a strong note, and even though he tends to operate as the No. 3 or No. 4 option offensively for Orlando, he's making the most of his role. This was the 12th time he's scored in double digits over his last 13 appearances dating back to March 11.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Efficient double-double in win

    Robinson accumulated 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 136-96 win over the Bulls.

    Robinson got the start at center due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), and the former made the most of the uptick in playing time. Robinson was perfect from the field en route to his first double-digit scoring output since March 24, and he also posted his first double-double since March 22. The big man has four double-doubles since the All-Star break, and he'll likely remain productive, particularly in category-based leagues, as long as his playing time continues to hover around the 20-minute plateau.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Efficient in win over Utah

    Sengun had 19 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 140-106 win over the Jazz.

    Sengun was limited to just 28 minutes in a blowout win over the Jazz, but he was pretty efficient with his shot and also delivered a decent, albeit unspectacular, stat line. Sengun has failed to score at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances. While he continues to play regularly, his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction of late, although that has largely been because he's not playing much in blowout games with the Rockets having already secured a playoff berth.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Shifts to depth role

    Drummond chipped in four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in nine minutes during Friday's 115-103 victory over Minnesota.

    With Joel Embiid returning from a one-game absence due to an illness, Drummond assumed a depth role, playing no more than 10 minutes for the third time in the past four games. Despite being a strong stream option whenever Embiid misses time, Drummond's role is simply too inconsistent to warrant any sustainable fantasy value.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Double-doubles in victory

    Embiid contributed 19 points (6-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks across 34 minutes in Friday's 115-103 win over Minnesota.

    Embiid stuffed the stat sheet in his return from a one-game absence due to an illness, securing his ninth outing with a double-double or better across 37 regular-season appearances. The star big man struggled with efficiency but finished as Philadelphia's fourth-leading scorer. He led the Sixers in rebounds and tied Dominick Barlow for the game-high mark in blocks. Additionally, Embiid dished out the second-most assists in the contest behind Tyrese Maxey (eight).

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Needs 18 shots to score 12 points

    Huff amassed 12 points (5-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 129-108 loss to the Hornets.

    Huff set a new career high in shot attempts but made only five of them in the blowout loss. That said, Pascal Siakam left the game with a back injury, so if he can't play Sunday in Cleveland, Huff could be forced into a featured role on offense.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Starting Friday

    Missi is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Joining Missi in the first unit for Friday's game will be Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson. Across 12 starts this season, MIssi has averaged 6.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 swats per contest.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Won't start Friday

    Sims won't start Friday's game against Boston.

    With Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) back in the lineup, Sims will slide to the second unit. The big man has averaged 5.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 20.2 minutes per contest over his last five appearances off the bench.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Starting versus Bulls

    Robinson will start Friday's game against Chicago, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) won't suit up for this contest, so Robinson will make his first start since the 101-92 win over the Pacers on March 13. In 15 starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 28-year-old has averaged 4.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 19.9 minutes per tilt.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Ruled out for Friday

    Towns (elbow) won't play Friday versus the Bulls, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Towns only took a few shots at shootaround before grabbing at his elbow and retreating back to the locker room, so it's not surprising to see him get ruled out for Friday's game. Mitchell Robinson will draw the start in his absence, and for now, Towns should be viewed as questionable for Monday's game in Atlanta.
