Turner finished Friday's 123-111 victory over the Warriors with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and five blocks across 27 minutes.

Turner struggled badly from the field, as he had to deal with tight defense from Draymond Green all game long, but he made the Warriors pay at the other end with his five blocks, finishing just one shy of tying his season-best mark in that category. Turner is averaging 15.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game since the beginning of March and is proving to be a reliable asset on both ends of the court for Indiana.

Allen totaled 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block across 33 minutes during Friday's 104-91 loss to the Timberwolves.

Allen wasn't particularly efficient from the field -- at least for his standards, as he's made 62.7 percent of his shots this season -- but the fact that he suffered a hand injury midway through Friday's game might have played a role in that. Regardless, Allen still posted a double-double, and he's now reached that feat in four of his last six games. Allen is averaging 18.3 points and 12.4 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

Davis amassed 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 40 minutes during Friday's 101-94 win over the 76ers.

The double-double was his 55th of the season, as Davis extended his career high in that category while sitting third in the league behind Domantas Sabonis (65) and Nikola Jokic (57). The 31-year-old center has been almost automatic for a double-double since the All-Star break, failing to record one only once in 14 games, and he's averaged 22.6 points, 13.5 boards, 2.9 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.4 steals over that stretch.

Wiseman produced 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Celtics.

It was the best scoring performance of the season for Wiseman, who fell just short of his third double-double of 2023-24. The 22-year-old center was getting his first start of the season with Jalen Duren (back) a late scratch and Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) done for the season, and Wiseman seems set for a significant role in the frontcourt over the final weeks of the campaign. Through 16 games since the All-Star break, he's averaged 18.6 minutes a contest with 8.3 points, 6.6 boards, 1.4 assists and 0.6 blocks while shooting 62.5 percent from the floor.

Porzingis amassed 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over Detroit.

The 28-year-old big continues to have his minutes capped due to a nagging hamstring injury, as Boston is working to keep Porzingis on the court for the playoffs. The restriction hasn't kept him from posting solid numbers, though, and through three games since returning to the lineup, Porzingis has averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Theis appeared to suffer a right knee injury during the fourth quarter of Friday's 125-117 win over the Trail Blazers and was unable to return, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. He finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 21 minutes.

Theis was spotted receiving attention from the medical staff on the bench, and he didn't see any action after checking out of the contest with 9:24 remaining in the quarter. After the game, head coach Tyronn Lue said that he's not too concerned about Theis' injury, per Murray. The big man will be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 76ers.

Wembanyama produced 31 points (11-24 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 99-97 loss to the Grizzlies.

Wembanyama led all players in Friday's contest in scoring, rebounds and blocks while connecting on a team-high trio of threes to go along with a team-high-tying handful of assists in a 30-point double-double showcase. Wembanyama has crossed the 30-point mark in seven games this season, including in two of his last three outings. He has now hauled in 15 or more boards on six occasions, pairing that with at least 30 points in two contests.

Adebayo chipped in 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 111-88 loss to the Pelicans.

Adebayo returned from a one-game absence, recording a low-end double-double. It was a rough night for the Heat, who were soundly beaten by a Pelicans squad that was missing Brandon Ingram (knee) on the second night of a back-to-back. It's been a bumpy season for Miami, who currently occupies the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Heat remain within striking distance of the top six, but they are going to need to find some consistency should they hope to avoid the Play-In.

Gobert (rib) tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 37 minutes Friday in the Timberwolves' 104-91 win over the Cavaliers.

Gobert provided his usual contributions in the rebounds and blocks categories in his return from a three-game absence due to a left rib sprain, but a rough showing from the free-throw line kept him in single digits in the scoring column for a third consecutive contest. Even without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) for the foreseeable future, Gobert isn't expected to benefit from a dramatic uptick in usage on the offensive end, as his scoring will derive mainly from putbacks and the occasional post touch.

Zeller closed with one point (1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over three minutes during Friday's 111-88 victory over Miami.

Zeller cracked the rotation for the first time in more than two weeks, logging three minutes in garbage time. Given he has appeared in only 39 games all season, during which he has averaged 1.9 points and 2.8 rebounds, it's clear he holds no fantasy value.
