Davis finished Friday's 124-102 win over the Raptors with 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and seven blocks over 30 minutes.

Davis was the game's leader in points, rebounds, assists and blocks, with five of his seven swats coming in the second quarter. It was his fourth triple-double of his career and first since Feb. 5, 2024 against the Hornets when he played for the Lakers. In the eight games since returning from a groin injury, Davis has averaged 19.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.1 blocks over 29.4 minutes per contest.

Castleton will sign a standard contract with the Raptors when his 10-day contract with the 76ers expires Saturday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Castleton joined the 76ers on a 10-day contract April 3 after his second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired March 25. He played Friday for the 76ers in a 124-110 loss to Atlanta and finished with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes. Castleton will link back up with Toronto ahead of Sunday's season finale in San Antonio and should be in store for backup minutes in the frontcourt. Over his 25 total appearances (four starts) across stops with the Grizzlies, Raptors and 76ers on the season, Castleton has averaged 4.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.1 minutes per contest.

Bradley contributed 10 points (5-10 FG), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 129-115 loss to the Magic.

Bradley played a season-high 24.3 minutes, falling one rebound short of his first double-double. The Pacers were resting a number of their stars, allowing their fringe players to see extended minutes. Indiana will face the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, with Sunday's game against the Cavaliers having no impact on the standings. Bradley could once again play meaningful minutes should the coaching staff opt to give the starters another night of rest.

Zubac (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Zubac has been one of the best two-way big men in the NBA this season and is among the league leaders in double-doubles. He should handle his regular workload at center while being an asset for the Clippers both as a scorer and rebounder. He's averaging 20.0 points and 12.8 rebounds per game in five appearances this month while coming off a triple-double, the first of his career, Wednesday against the Rockets.

Kelley is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Heat on Friday.

Kelley will make his first start with the Pelicans (and second of his NBA career) as New Orleans deals with multiple injuries to its big-man rotation. He made his Pelicans debut Thursday after signing a 10-day contract April 3, and he finished with two points, seven rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes in a loss to the Bucks.

Kornet won't start Friday's game against the Hornets.

With Boston's regular starters sidelined, Kornet drew a spot start against the Magic on Wednesday and posted 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 25 minutes. Aside from Jaylen Brown (knee), the Celtics' usual starters are available, with Al Horford replacing Brown in the first five.

Horford is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Hornets on Friday.

Horford will return Friday from a one-game absence due to a knee injury, and he'll make his 42nd start of the season due to Jaylen Brown (knee) being sidelined. With the Celtics locked in as the No. 2 seed in the East, Horford will likely cede some of his minutes to Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman.

Nurkic won't start Friday's game against the Celtics.

With Mark Williams (foot) and Moussa Diabate (illness) sidelined, Nurkic drew a spot start Wednesday and posted 26 points (12-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during a 126-96 loss to the Raptors. However, with Williams back in action, Nurkic will operate off the bench Friday.

Robinson is in the Knicks' starting lineup against the Cavaliers on Friday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Robinson will make his third start of the season due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee). Robinson has averaged 4.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.4 blocks over 16.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Davis (groin) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Davis will suit up for this matchup and should handle his regular workload in the frontcourt as one of Dallas' primary offensive weapons. The superstar big man has averaged 18.7 points. 8.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.4 blocks per game over his last seven games.
