  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Double-doubles in win

    Vucevic contributed 24 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 15 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 136-125 victory over the Cavaliers.

    Vucevic has now scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games, and he's been getting his buckets efficiently, going 20-for-34 from the floor over that stretch. It's been an up-and-down season for Vucevic thus far, but he's still flirting with top-60 value behind averages of 16.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 triples per contest.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Double-doubles with three stocks

    Robinson produced 21 points (7-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to the 76ers.

    Robinson recorded his first double-digit scoring game of the year, and it was also the first time this season he's hit consecutive free throws, which had the New York crowd going wild. However, with averages of 4.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game on the season, Mitchell can only be viewed as a shot-blocking and rebounding specialist in deep leagues.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in loss

    Towns produced 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to the 76ers.

    This was Towns' 18th double-double on the year, firmly putting him in the No. 2 spot for the most double-doubles this season. The 30-year-old big man has been a steady top-20 producer this season behind averages of 22.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 triples, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Double-doubles in win

    Drummond totaled 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-107 win over the Knicks.

    Drummond was locked in from long range in this one, drilling his first three triples while setting a new career high in three-point makes. He also converted all three of his freebies, giving him a pristine true shooting percentage of 84.1 percent on the evening. If Joel Embiid (illness) can't play Saturday versus the Mavericks, Drummond will make for a solid target in daily fantasy leagues.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Dominant double-double off bench

    Wembanyama tallied 26 points (10-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during the Spurs' 126-98 win over the Hawks on Friday.

    Wembanyama came off the bench and played less than 25 minutes for a third consecutive game while managing a calf injury that caused him to miss 12 games, but he still made his impact felt during Friday's blowout win. The third-year center posted his 10th double-double of the season and led the Spurs in scoring, rebounds and point differential (plus-29). Wembanyama will continue to have his minutes monitored but could return to the starting lineup as soon as Sunday against the Wizards.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Another double-double Friday

    Ware tallied 24 points (8-12 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during the Heat's 129-116 loss to the Celtics on Friday.

    Ware started a second straight game, and in each of those starts he has posted a 20-point double-double. He ended up leading the Heat in both scoring and rebounding (with five of his 14 boards coming off the offensive glass), and he set a career high with six three-pointers. Ware will likely start against the Knicks on Sunday if Andrew Wiggins (back) is not cleared to play.

  • Tony Bradley C | IND

    Pacers' Tony Bradley: Questionable for Saturday

    Bradley is questionable for Saturday's game in New Orleans due to a fractured right thumb.

    Bradley exited Thursday's loss to the Knicks with what the team initially called a "sore thumb," but his injury has now been updated to a "fracture" on the official injury report. Check back for another update on Bradley closer to Saturday's tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET.

  • Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Ruled out for Saturday

    Niederhauser (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

    Niederhauser will miss his second consecutive contest due to left knee soreness, though his absence sholdn't cause any major waves in the Clippers' rotation. The rookie's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Rockets.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Not playing Saturday

    Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

    Ayton will end up missing a second consecutive game while working through left elbow soreness, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Suns. Jaxson Hayes should draw the start at center Saturday in Ayton's absence.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Missing another 4-to-5 weeks

    Sabonis (knee) will be sidelined for at least 4-to-5 more weeks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

    Sabonis has been rehabbing from a partially torn meniscus in his left knee that he sustained in mid-November. His absence will extend into the new year, and it's unclear whether the veteran center will be able to return in January. Rookie second-rounder Maxime Raynaud has started each of the Kings' last five games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as Sabonis is sidelined.
