  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Won't play Thursday

    Robinson has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to left ankle surgery recovery.

    After a strong showing during Wednesday's 120-105 loss to the Spurs with 13 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 17 minutes, Robinson will get some rest for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Precious Achiuwa will likely serve as the top backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns while Robinson sits out.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Strong double-double

    Duren had 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 victory over the Heat.

    Duren recorded a double-double for the fifth time across his last seven outings, and in fact, he's achieved that feat in seven of Detroit's 10 games during the current month. That two-way ability makes him a reliable fantasy option across all formats, and his two-men game with Cade Cunningham in the pick-and-roll gives him a steady dose of touches on offense as a rim finisher. Duren is averaging 13.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Flirts with triple-double

    Adebayo finished Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Pistons with 30 points (12-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.

    Adebayo was one rebound and two assists shy of tallying his third triple-double of the season. The 27-year-old center also bounced back offensively after failing to score 20 points in each of his previous four outings. Adebayo simultaneously continues to be one of the league's best defenders, as he has now recorded at least one steal and one block 21 times in 2024-25.

  • Goga Bitadze C | ORL

    Magic's Goga Bitadze: Misses out on double-double

    Bitadze finished with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to Houston.

    Bitadze logged more minutes than starting center Wendell Carter (19) in Wednesday's loss. Bitadze capitalized on this increased playing time by scoring his second-most points in a game this season. If the 25-year-old big man continues to play at least 20 minutes a contest, his fantasy value will increase.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Strong two-way showing

    Ware logged 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 loss to Detroit.

    Ware has recorded double-doubles in each of his last two starts. While the rookie big man has shown flashes of being a reliable two-way player when given enough minutes, he's also been extremely inconsistent, alternating solid performances with some not-so-good ones. Ware is averaging 10.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in his 23 starts this season.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Nails four triples in loss

    Sarr ended Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Jazz with 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes.

    Sarr continues to improve throughout his rookie year, as he has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games. Not only is this the 19-year-old forward's longest streak of the season, but he has scored at least 20 points seven times total. Sarr has also been efficient from behind the arc as of late, converting 38.3 percent of his 6.0 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts strong double-double

    Sengun registered 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando.

    Sengun posted a double-double for the fourth straight game, and the fifth time over his last six appearances, as he remains a capable two-way player who can also fill the stat sheet from time to time. Firmly entrenched as one of the go-to options on offense for Houston, Sengun is averaging a robust line of 20.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Iffy for Thursday

    Robinson (rest) is questionable to play against the Hornets on Thursday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and a maintenance day is on the table for Robinson. During Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Robinson had a productive outing with 13 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Doesn't return against Portland

    Clarke (knee) produced zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound across five minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Clarke was deemed doubtful to return after exiting Wednesday's contest with 2:04 remaining in the first quarter due to right shoulder soreness. The 28-year-old big man never returned to the game, and his status for Friday's matchup with the Clippers is uncertain.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Good to go Thursday

    Poeltl (rest) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.

    Poeltl will return to action Thursday after sitting out Toronto's previous contest due to rest purposes. The 29-year-old big man should reclaim his starting center job from Colin Castleton against Golden State.
