  • Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Sets new career high in scoring

    Raynaud finished with 32 points (13-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 loss to the Spurs.

    As has been the case lately, Raynaud was one of the lone bright spots for Sacramento in a blowout loss. The rookie shot with efficiency on the offensive end and fell just one board shy of his fifth double-double of the month. Raynaud's 32-point night marks a new career high, which beats his previous best of 29 points set Dec. 18 against Portland.

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Bench role continues

    Huff closed with six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 loss to the Knicks.

    Huff continues to come off the bench behind recently acquired Ivica Zubac, limiting his overall upside. In his past four games, all of which have been off the bench, Huff has averaged 10.3 points, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers. Given the current roster construction, Huff should be looked at as nothing more than a blocks streamer.

    Pistons' Paul Reed: Underwhelming in win

    Reed produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 victory over the Wizards.

    Despite Isaiah Stewart's continued absence due to a calf injury, Reed failed to make a significant impact. In two games without Stewart, Reed has logged 11 and 13 minutes, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. At this point, there are likely better streaming options available in most leagues.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Powers Detroit to victory

    Duren tallied 36 points (13-17 FG, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over Washington.

    Cade Cunningham (back) exited to the locker room in the first quarter and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the night, and it was Duren who stepped up in a big way. He secured his fourth straight double-double and focused on getting to the charity stripe, attempting double-digit free throws for the third time in nine March outings. It doesn't look as though Cunningham will miss much time if any, but it was promising to see Duren take command on a night when Detroit was forced to play without its star point guard.

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Available to return Tuesday

    Reid (ankle) is available to return to Tuesday's game against the Suns, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Returns Tuesday

    Sims (lips) started the second half of Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, per the broadcast.

    Sims exited to the locker room in the first quarter after sustaining a lip laceration that required stitches. However, he was cleared to start the second half and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Considered questionable to return

    Reid is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against Phoenix due to a right ankle sprain.

    It's a promising sign that Reid hasn't been ruled out for the rest of the night after suffering an ankle sprain during the second quarter. He should have a chance to test out the injured ankle when the team warms up for the second half.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Good to go Tuesday

    Kornet (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento.

    Kornet was able to test out his knee during warmups and evidently felt strong enough to give it a go Tuesday evening after missing Monday's matchup against the Clippers. He's averaging 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists through eight March outings.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Should return vs. Cavs

    Sims (lips) is expected to return to Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Sims was spotted walking to the locker room during the first quarter due to a facial injury, and he was later diagnosed with a lip laceration that required a few stitches. The team has since stated that he should be able to check back in, which is a great sign considering both Myles Turner (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) are sidelined.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Walks to locker room

    Reid exited to the locker room during the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Suns with an apparent right ankle injury, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Reid appeared to roll his ankle on an opposing player and was down on the court in pain after the play. He was eventually able to get up and walk off under his own power. Reid can be considered questionable to return until the team has an update to provide.
