  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Another strong line

    Sarr posted 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 131-110 loss to Philadelphia.

    The Wizards traded for Trae Young (quadriceps) on Wednesday, and that could benefit Sarr over the long run as the point guard is known for generating easy looks for his pick-and-roll partners. Sarr has been trending up over his last three outings with 15.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Busy in narrow defeat

    Adams accumulated seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Adams stuffed the stat sheet Wednesday, and he should continue to start at center for the injured Alperen Sengun (ankle) for the next few weeks. Over nine outings as a starter, Adams has averaged 9.4 rebounds, 6.9 points, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.6 minutes per game while shooting 55.8 percent from the field.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    Pistons' Paul Reed: Solid line in win

    Reed closed with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 108-93 victory over the Bulls.

    Jalen Duren (ankle) remains out for Detroit, though he's due to be re-evaluated prior to their next game Saturday. Reed has fared well in his last three starts with 8.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest.

  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Another absence coming

    Kalkbrenner (elbow) will miss Thursday's game against Indiana.

    The rookie center will be sidelined for a 10th straight game and remains without a timetable to return. He can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against Utah.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Sees 12 minutes in win

    Drummond finished Wednesday's 131-110 win over the Wizards with 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 12 minutes.

    Drummond recently fell out of the rotation for the 76ers, but he saw some action in garbage time Wednesday due to the lopsided score. With the entire Philadelphia frontcourt in good health, Drummond can be monitored from the waiver wire in most formats.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Set to practice Thursday

    Poeltl (back) is scheduled to participate in Thursday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    After he was recently cleared to resume taking contact, Poeltl will take another important step forward in his recovery from a lower-back strain by taking part in drills with his healthy teammates. Even if Poeltl checks out fine following Thursday's workout, he may not be cleared to play Friday in Boston, but it's apparent nonetheless that the veteran center is close to a return. Grange notes that the Raptors don't plan on re-signing recently waived big man Mo Bamba to a 10-day deal with the expectation that Poeltl will be back in the fold soon.

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

    Towns ended with 20 points (6-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 win over the Clippers.

    While Towns did not shoot the ball well again, he did get 10 trips to the free-throw line and was able to convert on eight of them. In his last five appearances, Towns is averaging 16.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.0 threes across 30.2 minutes while shooting a measly 38.6 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from deep.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Scores 13 points in loss

    Turner provided 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 120-113 loss to the Warriors.

    This was just an average showing for Turner, as he's yet to truly find his stride with his new team. It's worth mentioning that the Bucks are reportedly going to be buyers ahead of the trade deadline to bring in more help for Giannis Antetokounmpo, so more competition for touches could be on the way.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Posts another double-double in loss

    Zubac accumulated 22 points (11-14 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

    Zubac seems to have returned to form after missing five games due to an ankle injury, as he converted 11 of his 14 field goals and grabbed a season-high eight offensive boards. Zubac's return means fewer minutes for Brook Lopez, who already has been trending downwards despite starting while the former was sidelined.

  • Maxi Kleber C | LAL

    Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Sees 12 minutes in loss

    Kleber posted one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 107-91 loss to San Antonio.

    With the Lakers getting some solid minutes out of Jarred Vanderbilt lately, Kleber continues to be limited to scraps off the bench. Over his last four appearances, he's seen just 10.1 minutes per contest.
