  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Probable for Friday

    Allen (finger) is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

    Allen is expected to return from a three-game absence Friday. With this news, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance could be less involved for Cleveland.

  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Iffy for Friday

    Vucevic (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

    Vucevic remains day-to-day after missing Monday's game against the Pelicans. With Friday being the front end of a back-to-back set, it's possible that Vucevic will be held out for at least one of the two games.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Steady production again Wednesday

    Sengun ended with 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 win over the Warriors.

    The fifth-year center continues to supply incredibly consistent production from the Rockets' frontcourt. Sengun has scored at least 14 points with no fewer than five boards and five assists in 16 straight games to begin the season, but he's mixed in plenty of ceiling performances to go along with that rock-steady floor. On the season, Sengun's averaging 22.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.2 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 36.6 minutes a contest.

  • Zach Edey C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Big double-double in New Orleans

    Edey amassed 21 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 133-128 overtime win over the Pelicans.

    It's the second double-double in the last three games for Edey, and he played only six minutes in the third after taking a blow to the head. The second-year center appears to be rounding into form after missing the first three weeks of the season with an ankle injury. Through six contests since making his season debut, Edey is averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 boards, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes while shooting 62.8 percent from the floor.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Explosive double-double in win

    Williams provided 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 win over the Kings.

    Williams was projected to perform well with Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the Kings, but his best rebound total and second-highest point total of the season were a bit of a surprise. Williams' shot volume has granted him six double-doubles so far this season, and his production has become instrumental to the Suns' success.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Grabs team-high 11 rebounds

    Clingan amassed nine points (3-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 115-102 loss to the Spurs.

    Clingan's shot volume wasn't very high, but he recorded great numbers on the glass against a shorthanded Spurs frontcourt. He's currently averaging a double-double (10.2 points, 10.0 rebounds) over the first 19 games, and the big man also has a spotless attendance record.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Blocks three shots in loss

    Huff accumulated 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 97-95 loss to the Raptors.

    Huff blocked three shots Wednesday, bringing his total over the past 12 games to 29 blocks. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Huff has been able to put himself on the standard league radar, averaging 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 24.1 minutes per game over the past three contests. He is worth a look if you are in need of some rim protection on your fantasy squad.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Nets 15 points with seven boards

    Hartenstein had 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 win over the Timberwolves.

    Hartenstein was held to just seven points on 3-for-9 shooting in his previous outing, so it was nice to see him come through with a more efficient scoring performance. The big man is flirting with top-50 value on the year behind averages of 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per contest, although some of these numbers could dip a bit once Jalen Williams (wrist) works his way back to the court.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Scores 12 points with nine boards

    Holmgren closed with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 win over the Timberwolves.

    While Holmgren struggled with his shot for most of the game, he came through when it mattered most, as he drilled a clutch triple with under a minute left to put the Thunder up for good. Head coach Mark Daigneault heaped praise on him after the match, calling Holmgren's late three-ball the "shot of the game," according to Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site. With the win, the Thunder became just the fifth team in NBA history to open the season 18-1.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Records double-double

    Adebayo notched 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the Bucks.

    Adebayo played alongside Andrew Wiggins in the frontcourt instead of Kel'el Ware, meaning he had to deal with Myles Turner on both ends of the court, but he still posted a solid stat line. This was Adebayo's sixth double-double of the season -- and second over his last three games. He's also on a run of scoring at least 17 points in five straight contests.
