Sengun provided 28 points (11-26 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to New Orleans.

This was Sengun's fifth straight double-double and his 14th of the year. He's been a top-30 stud in his age-23 season, posting averages of 23.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 0.9 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

Adebayo notched eight points (4-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 win over Brooklyn.

While Adebayo struggled offensively, he was a beast on the glass, and he had double-digit rebounds by halftime. He finished with a new season high in boards and a plus/minus rating of plus-12 in the 11-point win.

Claxton provided 16 points (8-9 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami.

Claxton was held to just 10 points his last time out, but he matched that total by halftime Thursday night and finished as the second-leading scorer behind Michael Porter. Additionally, Claxton racked up five defensive stats after failing to record a steal or a block during Sunday's blowout win over Milwaukee. He'll look to keep it going Sunday against the Raptors.

Davis (undisclosed) has returned to Thursday's game against Detroit, per the television broadcast.

It's unclear why Davis made a quick stop in the locker room, but he's been cleared to check back in and will start the fourth quarter. He'll presumably be a full go the rest of the way.

Davis went to the locker room during Thursday's game against the Pistons due to an undisclosed injury, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Davis scored a pair of buckets before exiting the matchup, so it's unclear what may be bothering him. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Hayes is starting Thursday's game against the Jazz, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes is entering the starting lineup for Deandre Ayton, who has been ruled out Thursday due to a left elbow issue. Hayes is coming off a solid showing Sunday against Phoenix, finishing with 12 points, nine rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes off the bench.

Bradley will not return to Thursday's game against the Knicks due to a sore right thumb.

Bradley will end his evening with two points (0-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over four minutes. For now, Bradley should be considered questionable for Saturday's game in New Orleans.

Gafford is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Pistons on Thursday.

Gafford will come off the bench for Thursday's tilt due to the return of Anthony Davis (calf) from a one-game absence. Gafford started in Monday's loss to the Jazz, though he played just 13 minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.

Wembanyama will come off the bench Thursday night against Washington.

This marks the third straight game in which Wembanyama has been deployed off the bench. The Spurs are continuing to monitor his minutes closely, especially in the first half of a back-to-back. Luke Kornet will continue to run with the starters while Wembanyama comes off the bench.

Sims is starting Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Sims will draw his third start in five games after Kyle Kuzma (illness) was ruled out Thursday. Sims hasn't been able to capitalize on his previous two opportunities with the first unit, as he's been held to two points in each start despite logging 30 or more minutes.
