    Pacers' Myles Turner: Scores season-high 33 points Sunday

    Turner ended Sunday's 133-111 win over the Mavericks with 33 points (10-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.

    Turner delivered his best scoring performance of the season, and outside of ending just two boards shy of a double-double, he was very efficient, making all of his attempts from inside the three-point line while recording his first 30-point effort since Feb. 23, 2023. The star big man has transitioned into a secondary role on offense following the arrival of Pascal Siakam, but Turner has proven he can carry the team on offense when called upon.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-double against OKC

    Sengun recorded 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 loss to the Thunder.

    It was the 25th double-double of the season for the third-year center, leaving him four short of tying the career high he set in 2022-23. Sengun has been flashing more defensive production of late as well -- over the last five games, he's averaging 18.6 points, 8.2 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Teases triple-double in win

    Holmgren logged 29 points (11-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 win over the Rockets.

    The second overall pick in the 2022 Draft has only gotten better as the season has progressed. Over the last 10 games, Holmgren is averaging 18.9 points, 8.5 boards, 3.1 blocks, 2.7 threes, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor and a dazzling 50.9 percent from long distance, and he's emerging as a perfect frontcourt partner for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on a Thunder team that is now tied with the Timberwolves for the best record in the Western Conference.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Massive triple-double Sunday

    Jokic finished Sunday's 119-103 victory over Golden State with 32 points (13-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and four steals across 37 minutes.

    It was a thunderous performance even by Jokic's MVP standards, as the 29-year-old center set a new season high in steals in addition to delivering his third straight triple-double and 18th of the season. Jokic has dished at least seven assists in 12 of his last 13 games, averaging 26.3 points, 13.4 boards, 9.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.2 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.0 percent from the floor.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Records 20th triple-double in win

    Sabonis ended Sunday's 123-107 win over the Clippers with 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, 12 assists and three steals across 36 minutes.

    If you assumed Nikola Jokic led the league in triple-doubles, you'd be incorrect. Sabonis has two more triple-doubles than Jokic currently, with Luka Doncic ranking a distant third with 10. Although Sabonis' 8.4 assists per game is lower than Jokic's total, he's actually pulling down an average of one rebound more than the former MVP, a surprising metric when you consider Jokic's dominance.

  • Jazz's Omer Yurtseven: Rare appearance in victory

    Yurtseven racked up three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound in three minutes during Sunday's 128-109 win over the Spurs.

    Yurtseven played three minutes in garbage time, entering the rotation for just the fourth time in the past 10 games. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, there simply aren't enough minutes to go around for Yurtseven to have any sustainable value. If the Jazz decide to lean into their second and third units down the stretch, he could pop up on radars as a per-minute streaming consideration.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Top rebounder in double-double

    Davis supplied 22 points (11-17 FG), 14 rebounds, two blocks and three steals over 42 minutes during Sunday's 123-113 loss to Phoenix.

    Despite entering the game as a game-time decision with Achilles and hip issues, Davis led the Lakers in rebounds and steals while ending as one of three players with 20 or more points in a double-double outing. Davis has recorded a double-double in eight of his last 10 games, posting at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in seven of those outings.

  • Heat's Orlando Robinson: Questionable for Monday

    Robinson (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

    Robinson missed Friday's game against the Pelicans due to back spasms that now have his status in question for Monday's contest. Robinson could see an increased role if he is able to suit up due to Jimmy Butler, Thomas Bryant and Nikola Jovic facing a suspension.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Nuggets' Jay Huff: Off injury report

    Huff (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Huff found himself on the injury report with a right knee issue, but he has been cleared to play ahead of gametime. Huff's availablity likely won't impact the rotation.

  • Goga Bitadze C | ORL

    Magic's Goga Bitadze: Starting against Atlanta

    Bitadze is starting Sunday's game against Atlanta, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.

    Bitadze has been an inconsistent part of Orlando's rotation recently, but he'll join the starting lineup Sunday since Paolo Banchero (illness) has been ruled out. Over 31 starts this year, Bitadze has averaged 7.8 points and 7.4 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game.
