  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Iffy for Thursday

    Horford (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

    Horford is trying to end a four-game absence with a back injury. With Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) and Quinten Post (ankle) both questionable, Horford could be thrust into significant playing time if he plays.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Productive stretch continues

    Reid finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime victory over New Orleans.

    Reid's fantasy upside may be capped by Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, but he's fought off a slow start to his season since the start of November. Reid has averaged 14.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest in his last 16 games.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Won't play vs. Hornets

    Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

    Robinson is sitting out the second part of New York's back-to-back set. The expectation is that he'll return Friday against the Jazz. Robinson's absence could allow Ariel Hukporti to join the rotation.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Sitting out Wednesday

    Williams won't play in Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to knee injury management.

    No surprise here, considering Wednesday is the second half of a back-to-back set for Portland. With Donovan Clingan (leg) questionable, the Trail Blazers could be forced into a timeshare between Duop Reath and Yang Hansen at center.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Questionable for Wednesday

    Clingan is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left lower leg contusion.

    Clingan missed his first game of the season Sunday due to an illness, but he shook off a questionable tag and returned to action Tuesday, putting up 11 points and 11 rebounds in 21 minutes. However, it appears the big man picked up an injury during the contest and is in danger of missing another game. In his first absence, Kris Murray started at center in a small-ball lineup. Robert Williams (rest) has already been ruled out for Wednesday.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Spotted at shootaround

    Gafford (ankle) participated in Wednesday's shootaround, per Abby Jones of DLLS Sports.

    This bodes well for the big man's chances of suiting up Wednesday against the Heat, but he remains listed as questionable. Gafford is likely to go through pregame warmups before the Mavericks confirm his status.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Scoring efficiently

    Holmgren posted 21 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 victory over the Warriors.

    Tuesday marked Holmgren's third game in a row scoring 19 or more points on higher than 50 percent shooting. Holmgren's eight rebounds matched his season average, and he's failed to notch a double-double in his past 10 outings.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Five rejections Tuesday

    Kornet ended with four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, five blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 victory over the Grizzlies.

    The five rejections were a season high for Kornet, and just one off his regular-season career high. The veteran center has started eight straight games in place of Victor Wembanyama (calf), and while he's scored in double digits only twice, he's been a fairly consistent contributor on the glass and at the rim, averaging 6.8 points, 6.1 boards, 2.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 26.5 minutes a contest.

  • Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Invisible again in loss

    Looney recorded zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

    Looney continues to do basically nothing, typically logging minutes only when other players are injured. He should be viewed as the third-string center, a clearly evident fact when analyzing his season stats. In 12 appearances, he has averaged 2.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Massive double-double in win

    Gobert produced 26 points (9-10 FG, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime win over the Pelicans.

    Gobert recorded his eighth double-double of the season, including a season-high 26 points. For a player averaging 11.1 points per game through the first 21 games, this was an unexpected yet welcome surprise. The veteran center has put together a serviceable campaign to this point, averaging 10.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks to go with his 11.1 points per game.
