Filipowski closed with 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 144-112 loss to the Thunder.

Filpowski was able to play through the wrist injury that held him out of Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, and he provided dependable interior support for Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic in the loss. Most of Filipowski's production came during garbage time in the fourth quarter, when he accrued seven points, a rebound and an assist. Kevin Love was on fire during the first quarter with the second unit, which is one reason why it took a little while for Filipowski to get his opportunities.

Williams notched eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 21 minutes during Friday's 127-123 victory over the Warriors.

Williams played the entire final quarter, ending with a season-high 21 minutes. It was by far his best performance of the season, and an encouraging sign for anyone rostering him in deeper formats. It was curious that he played over Donovan Clingan down the stretch, given Clingan was in the midst of a career-high scoring night. Obviously, we would need to see sustained production before considering Williams an add in standard leagues.

Clingan chipped in 22 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 127-123 win over the Warriors.

Clingan scored a career-high 22 points, recording his third double-double in the past four games. While this was another strong performance, it should be noted that he didn't play a single second in the final quarter, despite his career night. Managers should be thrilled with his recent production but cautious when it comes to his ceiling.

Capela had zero points (0-2 FG) and one steal in four minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to the Nuggets.

Capela has been nothing more than an afterthought thus far this season, playing as the third-string center behind Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams. In 13 appearances, Capela is averaging 3.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game.

Horford was not available for the fourth quarter of Friday's 127-123 loss to the Trail Blazers due to an undisclosed injury, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Horford ended his evening with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one turnover across 18 minutes. The Warriors are off until Monday, so we likely won't get another update on Horford until Sunday's injury report is released.

Williams notched 19 points (6-9 FG, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, one steal, one block and one turnover in 26 minutes during Friday's 114-113 win over the Timberwolves.

Williams is quietly having a top-60 season with averages of 12.2 points on 63.2 percent shooting from the floor and 78.7 percent at the line to go with 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and just 0.9 turnovers per contest. If he can just manage to stay healthy this season, he could be on a lot of winning fantasy teams.

Jokic finished Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets with 34 points (11-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block across 39 minutes.

Jokic came just one assist away from notching what would've been his fourth consecutive triple-double. The star center continues to be a dominant player across all fantasy formats and the main driving force of the Nuggets' offense. He has five triple-doubles and four double-doubles across 10 games this month.

Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime of Friday's game against the Nuggets for undisclosed reasons, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime, though it's uncertain why he remained in the locker room. Reed Sheppard, who scored 20 points in the first half, replaced Adams in the starting lineup to open the third period.

Queta amassed 16 points (8-12 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to the Nets.

This was Queta's third double-double of the season and the fifth of his career. He's been playing well for Boston this season, leading the team in field-goal percentage (61.8), boards (8.3) and blocks (1.4), which has him humming along with top-90 value on the season.

Claxton totaled 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 113-105 victory over the Celtics.

Claxton was limited to just seven points on 1-for-9 shooting his last time out, but he bounced back with a vengeance Friday night, guiding the Nets to a win while notching the first triple-double of his career. Claxton has shown some impressive playmaking this season, as he's dishing out a career-high 4.4 dimes a night to go with averages of 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per contest.
