Jokic notched 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 assists and 11 rebounds across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 125-118 win over the Pelicans.

Jokic stuffed the stat sheet against a struggling Pelicans squad, securing his third consecutive triple-double. The three-time MVP has logged nine such performances through 14 regular-season games thus far. The superstar center finished as the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder, and he led all players in assists. Jokic has yet to dish out fewer than six dimes in a game this season, and he has recorded double-digit assists in 10 outings.

Holmgren logged 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during the Thunder's 113-99 win over the Kings on Wednesday.

Although Holmgren wasn't efficient from deep, he was effective inside the arc and finished second on the Thunder in scoring behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33). Wednesday marked the third time this season that Holmgren recorded at least three blocks, and he has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six games. Over that span, he has averaged 21.2 points on 64.6 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks over 28.5 minutes per game.

Reid recorded 28 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 120-109 win over the Wizards.

Reid knocked down a game- and season-high five three-pointers en route to his second consecutive contest with at least 22 points. The backup big man has scored in double figures in each of his last four appearances, shooting 48.3 percent from beyond the arc during that span. The 26-year-old also tallied two steals in the win, marking his third outing with multiple swipes over his last six.

Ware notched seven points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and 16 rebounds across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over Golden State.

With the demotion to the second unit, Ware's minutes dipped below 20, and his double-double streak was put to an end. He didn't spend any time alongside Bam Adebayo, and if he's unable to share the floor with Adebayo, his upside will be severely limited.

Sengun totaled 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 victory over the Cavaliers.

Sengun enjoyed yet another successful night across the board, securing his fifth consecutive double-double. He was far more efficient than his 11-for-31 showing from the field Sunday, needing only 17 field-goal attempts to lead the Rockets in scoring Wednesday. Sengun continues to prove that he's one of the best all-around big men in the game, averaging 24.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest over his last five appearances.

Adebayo (toe) racked up 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 victory over the Warriors.

Adebayo looked great in his return from a six-game absence due to a left big toe sprain, asserting himself on both ends of the floor. He drilled a clutch three-pointer down the stretch to put the game out of reach, and he finished with a point differential of plus-15. Adebayo is knocking down a career-high 2.1 triples per game, though his willingness to venture outside of the paint has brought his field-goal percentage down to a career-low 46 percent through nine appearances.

Bagley (undisclosed) has returned to Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Bagley went back to the locker room during the third quarter for undisclosed reasons, but he checked back into the contest early in the fourth period. He's serving as one of the Wizards' top big men Wednesday due to the absence of Alex Sarr (toe).

Bagley went to the locker room during the third quarter of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves with an undisclosed injury, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Bagley checked out of the game with 5:40 remaining in the third period, though the details of his injury remain unclear. He'll be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Cisse isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Cisse entered the starting five Monday with Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively sidelined. However, both Lively and Gafford are available Wednesday, resulting in Cisse's move to the bench. He's averaging 4.9 points and 4.0 rebounds over nine games in a bench role this season.

Lively is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Lively took a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday, but he'll be back in action Wednesday night. Joining him in the first unit will be Brandon Williams, Klay Thompson, Max Christie and P.J. Washington.
