    Pacers' Myles Turner: Fills stat sheet Tuesday

    Turner registered 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 132-129 win over the Rockets.

    Turner reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Jan. 20, when he posted 20 points in a win over the 76ers, but he made his presence felt in more ways than just scoring, filling the stat sheet admirably. Turner might not be a consistent scorer and could be considered a below-average rebounder for his size, but he remains valuable in fantasy due to his all-around, two-way ability. Over his last 10 appearances, he's averaging 16.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Another double-double

    Sengun contributed 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 132-129 loss to the Pacers.

    Sengun recorded his sixth consecutive double-double, and while he's reached that mark in all but one of his last 11 appearances, his impact on the Rockets' offensive scheme goes well beyond his contributions in points and rebounds. He's averaging 22.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game since the beginning of January.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Notches 10 points

    Reid racked up 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 129-123 overtime loss to the Bulls.

    Despite coming off the bench, Reid's minutes have held steady in the low 20s. Over his last eight games, he's played 22.0 minutes per contest with averages of 9.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    76ers' Paul Reed: Feeling better

    Reed, who's suited up for the last two games despite battling an illness, said he's feeling "a lot better" after Wednesday's morning shootaround, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Reed was limited to 15 and 22 minutes, respectively, over the last two games while battling an illness, totaling just four points, 10 rebounds and one block. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, the 76ers need all the production they can get out of Reed, who's averaging 10.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 24.7 minutes across his previous 13 starts this season.

  • Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Makes mark on defense Tuesday

    Hartenstein closed Tuesday's 123-113 victory over Memphis with 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 35 minutes.

    The five combined blocks and steals were Hartenstein's highest total since Jan. 13, when he produced four blocks and two steals against the Grizzlies. The 25-year-old center has also stepped up his offensive contributions while Julius Randle (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (elbow) have been unavailable. Over the last five games, Hartenstein is averaging 11.8 points, 11.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks while shooting 64.1 percent from the floor.

  • Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Best performance yet for Memphis

    Jemison totaled 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 loss to the Knicks.

    In his fifth career NBA game and second career start, Jemison set personal bests in points and boards. The 24-year-old center is getting his opportunity thanks to injuries to Brandon Clarke (Achilles), Jaren Jackson (hip) and Xavier Tillman (knee), but what value Jemison has as a DFS punt play will evaporate quickly once the Grizzlies' frontcourt gets healthier.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Back to best Tuesday

    Holmgren racked up 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, four blocks and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-117 loss to the Jazz.

    Holmgren delivered another strong performance Tuesday, scoring 22 points for the second straight game. He chipped in a season-high three steals to go with his four blocks, proving pivotal on both ends of the floor. Although his level of production has decreased slightly over the past month, he should be a lock to finish inside the top 40 in what has been an impressive rookie campaign.

  • Robin Lopez C | MIL

    Bucks' Robin Lopez: Enters starting lineup

    Lopez will start Tuesday's game against the Suns.

    Bobby Portis will head back to the bench. Brook Lopez (personal) will miss his third straight game Tuesday, but it will be interesting to see how many minutes his brother, Robin, will see considering he's played a total of eight in his last two appearances.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Set to play against New Orleans

    Zubac (calf) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Zubac will return to action Wednesday after missing the Clippers' previous contest with a right calf strain. The 26-year-old big man should reclaim his starting spot from Mason Plumlee against New Orleans.

  • Bulls' Andre Drummond: Gets starting nod

    Drummond is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

    Drummond will start alongside Nikola Vucevic on Tuesday to match up with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns of Minnesota. Drummond averaged 14.0 points, 17.4 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals in 27.6 minutes across his last seven starts.
