  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Questionable with thumb sprain

    Queta is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta with a right thumb sprain.

    Queta is at risk of missing just his fifth contest of the season Friday. If the big man cannot suit up, Luka Garza would likely start at center and make sense as a strong plug-and-play fantasy option in most leagues.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Efficient stretch continues

    Sims had 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to Portland.

    Sims is establishing his footing in Milwaukee's banged-up frontcourt, though his fantasy value remains mostly tied to boards and field-goal percentage. The big man has averaged 5.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.1 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting 85.0 percent from the floor during this span.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Strong line in loss

    Huff posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 loss to the Lakers.

    Huff continues to take advantage of the injury-depleted frontcourt in Indiana. He's seeing 25.9 minutes over his last three games, averaging 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers on 61.1 percent shooting from the field.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Probable for Thursday

    Duren (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    Duren will be probable for the second game in a row to close out this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's overtime loss to Atlanta, the big man had 26 points (9-15 FG, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 42 minutes.

  • Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Efficient off bench in win

    Jackson ended Wednesday's 119-94 win over Toronto with 12 points (6-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.

    Jackson enjoyed seeing over 20 minutes off the bench just for the third time since the beginning of March, but he made the most of the opportunity. Jackson has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, but his reserve role compromises his fantasy appeal, even if he's making the most of the limited opportunities.

  • Maxi Kleber C | LAL

    Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Sees 11 minutes in win

    Kleber recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 victory over Indiana.

    With Deandre Ayton (back) sidelined Wednesday, Kleber was able to log his first appearance off the bench since March 8. Kleber had missed some time earlier this month due to a back strain, but he didn't play in a coach's decision in the Lakers' previous game Monday in Detroit before entering the rotation Wednesday.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Drops 30 points in OT loss

    Sengun logged 30 points (12-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

    Sengun ended the night tied for the team lead in scoring with Kevin Durant. Sengun has reached the 30-point mark in back-to-back appearances and has collected six total blocks during this brief two-game hot streak.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Strong line off bench

    Ware totaled 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 win over the Cavaliers.

    Ware continues to trend in the right direction for Miami. Over his last eight games, he's nearly averaging a double-double in 21.5 minutes per contest with 8.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks on 47.2 percent shooting from the field.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Posts strong double-double

    Gobert fouled out of Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets after recording 14 points (7-13 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.

    Gobert led Minnesota in rebounds and blocks on the way to a hard-fought win. He's now recorded a double-double in three of his last four outings, averaging 15.5 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.0 blocks over this recent hot stretch.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Big double-double in rout

    Clingan closed Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks with 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four steals in 25 minutes.

    The second-year center pulled down double-digit boards for an 11th straight game as he racked up his 33rd double-double of the season, tied for seventh in the NBA with Luka Doncic. During that stretch, Clingan is averaging 15.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 2.3 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.0 steals in only 26.5 minutes a contest while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor, as he emerges as a fantasy stud.
