    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Big night from second unit

    Reid provided 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 118-105 win over Dallas.

    It's the fourth time in 14 January games (two starts) that Reid has delivered at least 20 points, and the 11th time he's drained multiple three-pointers. On the month, the 26-year-old big is averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.6 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 25.2 minutes a contest while shooting 53.5 percent from the floor and 45.6 percent from long distance.

    Tony Bradley: Contract expires

    Bradley became a free agent Thursday after his second 10-day contract with the Pacers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    The Pacers could opt to bring Bradley back by re-signing him to a rest-of-season deal, though the team may prefer to have the open roster spot for flexibility purposes in advance of next week's trade deadline. Prior to signing his pair of 10-day contracts, Bradley had been on a standard contract with the Pacers until being waived Jan. 5. Over his 37 appearances (three starts) with Indiana this season, Bradley has shot 55.7 percent from the field while averaging 4.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 11.2 minutes.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Logs double-double in defeat

    Sengun finished Wednesday's 111-99 loss to San Antonio with 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

    Sengun was forced to leave the floor briefly with what appeared to be an ankle issue, but he returned shortly after the exit. He seemed to be fine, recording three rebounds, an assist and two points after checking back into the game. Although Sengun attempted 20 shots, he connected on only seven of them, a severe drop from his 15 of 17 converted shots during Monday's win against Memphis.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Logs double-double with five blocks

    Wembanyama closed Wednesday's 111-99 win over Houston with 28 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and two steals across 29 minutes.

    Wembanyama produced a solid all-around performance in the decisive win, and he padded his production with a season-high 12 converted free throws at the charity stripe. His totals could have been higher, but he was used sparingly in the third quarter and was limited to 29 minutes. Through 33 games, Wembanyama is averaging 24.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocks.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Inhales 22 rebounds in win

    Towns closed Wednesday's 119-92 victory over Toronto with eight points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 22 rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes.

    Towns has been in a shooting slump over the past two games, converting just 30.8 percent of his shot attempts, but he's still been a beast on the glass and set a new season high in boards Wednesday evening. The five-time All-Star will have a decent chance of snapping out of his funk Friday with a favorable matchup against the Trail Blazers.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Briefly exits Wednesday

    Sengun exited Wednesday's game against the Spurs in the fourth quarter due to an apparent right ankle issue, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com. However, he returned with 7:47 remaining.

    Sengun limped to the locker room but returned to the bench shortly thereafter. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking back in.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't return Wednesday

    Okongwu won't return to Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a facial contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    The Hawks are calling Okongwu's injury a facial contusion, but he's got some busted teeth as well after taking an elbow to the face from Jaylen Brown. Okongwu will end his evening with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers across 29 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Headed to locker room

    Okongwu (teeth) exited to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Okongwu got popped in the mouth by Jaylen Brown as the latter was making a move to the hoop, and Okongwu had a couple of teeth pushed back. He'll likely need some dental work and should be considered questionable to return.

    Warriors' Quinten Post: Not starting Wednesday

    Post won't start against the Jazz on Wednesday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Post got the starting nod in Monday's loss to Minnesota but will retreat to the second unit in favor of Al Horford on Wednesday. In 16 appearances off the bench so far this season, Post has averaged 5.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per contest.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Will start Wednesday

    Horford will start against the Jazz on Wednesday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Horford sat out Monday's loss to Minnesota -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- though he'll return to the starting five Wednesday. As a starter this season (two games), the veteran big man has averaged 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 20.5 minutes per tilt.
