  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Muted performance in win

    Sabonis totaled seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 130-88 win over the Hornets.

    This was a very quiet game by Sabonis' standards, but the lopsided score didn't help things as he was limited to 27 minutes. Over his last 10 outings, Sabonis has cooled off with averages of 16.3 points, 14.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Not on injury report

    Adams (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

    Adams is no longer on the injury report after missing Saturday's game against the Jazz, the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Rockets will play against the Spurs on Wednesday, so there's a chance Adams could miss that game if this trend continues.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Erupts in starting lineup

    Filipowski amassed 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    This game was the perfect storm for Filipowski, as John Collins (back), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Walker Kessler (illness) all sat this game out. Filipowski set a new career-high mark in points (20), picking up his fourth double-double of the season in the process. With the Jazz likely to focus on player development down the stretch, Filipowski could emerge with some fantasy appeal, especially whenever the Jazz are missing key members of their frontcourt.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Stays hot in February

    Reid logged 22 points (7-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 41 minutes during Monday's 131-128 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Rudy Gobert (back) has missed four straight games while Julius Randle (groin) has sat out the entire month of February, leaving Reid to hold down the fort in Minnesota's frontcourt. The 25-year-old has thrived with the added usage, scoring in double digits in 10 straight contests while averaging 21.5 points, 9.7 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.7 blocks in 37.1 minutes. Both Randle and Gobert seem close to returning, but until they are actually back on the court, Reid figures to stay productive.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Pulls down 12 boards

    Clingan posted seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Monday's 114-112 victory over Utah.

    Robert Williams missed his second game in a row with knee soreness, and Deandre Ayton is expected to miss several more weeks with his calf strain. Clingan is going to have a big opportunity to finish the season on a high note and has been a popular pickup in fantasy leagues. Over his last five games, Clingan has averaged 11.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Drops team-high 17 against Heat

    Okongwu closed Monday's 98-86 win over Miami with 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes.

    The efficient shooting performance resulted in a team high in points in a tight defensive battle with the Heat. Okongwu also snapped a stretch of six straight games without a three-pointer, during which he went 0-for-8 from long distance. Through 10 contests in February, the fifth-year center is averaging 14.8 points, 9.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 64.5 percent from the floor.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Big night on glass

    Ware totaled eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block over 24 minutes during Monday's 98-86 loss to the Hawks.

    The rookie center tied his career high in boards, and Ware likely would have established a new personal best if he hadn't sat out the entire fourth quarter. It's not clear what prompted that decision from coach Erik Spoelstra -- Ware came into the game nursing an ankle issue, but per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, no new injury was reported by the team. Ware did extend his streak of games with at least one rejection to seven, a stretch in which he's averaging 9.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Leads team in loss

    Turner amassed 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three steals, two rebounds, two assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 125-116 loss to the Nuggets.

    Turner led the Pacers in scoring Monday, recording 17 or more points for the third consecutive contest. The big man also logged three or more steals for the third time in the 2024-25 campaign, and he has racked up multiple steals in nine of his 49 regular-season appearances. However, the 28-year-old delivered a lackluster performance from beyond the arc, and he has shot 33.3 percent from outside over his last five games.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Season-high 19 assists in victory

    Jokic ended Monday's 125-116 win over the Pacers with 18 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 19 assists, nine rebounds, four steals and one block across 39 minutes.

    Jokic finished as one of five players on the Nuggets to score at least 16 points. However, it was his ability to stuff the stat sheet on both ends of the floor that stood out Monday. The three-time MVP recorded a season high in assists, marking his 32nd game dishing out double-digit dimes across 52 regular-season appearances. Jokic also logged four steals in the win, and he has now racked up multiple swipes in 29 outings.

  • Wizards' Richaun Holmes: Swats three shots against Brooklyn

    Holmes closed with 11 points (3-3 FG, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 107-99 victory over the Nets.

    Holmes tied Kyshawn George for the team lead with three rejections Monday, and the former was four rebounds short of registering his second double-double in as many games and third of the regular season. He has started in the Wizards' last two games, and he could start against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday if rookie Alex Sarr (ankle) is unable to suit up.
