Ware totaled 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and three blocks across 35 minutes during Thursday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.

Ware has looked comfortable playing alongside Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt, and while the rookie has experienced a fair share of ups and downs, he's done a good job of making his presence felt on both ends of the court for the most part. Ware has recorded six double-doubles over his last 11 outings since March 15, averaging 11.9 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game over that stretch.

Adebayo finished with 26 points (11-26 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.

Even though the Heat came up short and had to settle for the loss, Adebayo delivered an impressive stat line and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Like Tyler Herro, Adebayo is ending the season on a strong note while trying to carry the Heat into a Play-In Tournament berth. The star big man has scored over 20 points in each of his last three games, and is averaging a robust line of 19.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and a combined 1.8 steals-plus-blocks per game over his previous 11 appearances.

Poeltl (rest) will be available for Friday's game against the Pistons.

The trend of Poeltl suiting up in every other game for Toronto continues -- he sat out Thursday's game versus Portland for maintenance. With this news, Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo lose some fantasy appeal for Friday.

Lopez racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 31 minutes during Thursday's 126-113 victory over Philadelphia.

Lopez was coming off a 22-point, six-rebound, six-assist performance against the Suns on Tuesday, and he delivered another impressive outing, although it was Giannis Antetokounmpo with his historic stat line who stole the show and carried Milwaukee to a 13-point win. Lopez is ending the season on a productive note and has scored in double digits in seven of his last nine outings, averaging 16.4 points per game and shooting 62.9 percent from the floor in that span.

Gobert tallied 21 points (9-10 FG, 3-6 FT), 18 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 36 minutes during Thursday's 105-90 victory over Brooklyn.

Gobert posted a game-high mark in rebounds en route to his sixth consecutive contest with a double-double. The veteran big man has accumulated 33 such games in 67 regular-season appearances and is on pace to average a double-double for a ninth straight season. Gobert posted 20-plus points for just the third time on the season Thursday, tying his season high in scoring. Additionally, he logged multiple blocks for the 28th time during the 2024-25 campaign.

Clingan amassed eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 112-103 win over Toronto.

Clingan's scoring wasn't needed much Thursday as Shaedon Sharpe, Deni Avdija and Dalano Banton combined for 95 of Portland's 112 points. However, Clingan was active on the boards (including five offensive rebounds), and he finished second in that category behind Avdija. Since permanently entering the Trail Blazers' starting lineup Feb. 12, Clingan has averaged 7.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks over 25.0 minutes per game.

Sarr ended with 10 points (4-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes in Thursday's 109-97 loss to Orlando.

Sarr struggled shooting the ball in Thursday's contest but still finished as one of four players in double figures in scoring while concluding second in assists in a losing effort. Sarr set a new season high in assists, and he has now tallied at least five rebounds and five assists in seven outings.

Reath (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Reath will finish the game with two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across only six minutes due to a right knee injury. Jabari Walker could see a slight uptick in playing time the rest of the way due to Reath being sidelined.

Reath is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Raptors due to a right knee injury.

The nature of Reath's injury is unknown at this time. Jabari Walker would be in line for more opportunities if Reath is unable to return.

Davis (adductor) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

The Mavericks continue to manage Davis' availability due to the left adductor strain that sidelined him for 18 straight games. If he's cleared to suit up against Los Angeles on Friday, the star big man will likely receive the night off in Saturday's rematch. Davis has made five appearances since his return from the extended absence, averaging 18.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 blocks across 28.8 minutes per contest.
