  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Spectacular 20-20 performance

    Zubac registered 21 points (10-13 FG, 1-3 FT), 20 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 109-98 win over the Heat.

    Zubac recorded his second 20-20 performance of the season, matching his season-high mark in boards and recording the 20-point mark for the 12th time so far. The big man is having an outstanding year on both ends of the court and is putting up elite numbers across the board. Zubac is averaging 15.4 points, 14.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Double-double against Dubs

    Poeltl ended with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the Warriors.

    it was Poeltl's 15th double-double of the season but his first since Dec. 9, ending an eight-game stretch in which he'd delivered either 10-plus points or boards, but not both at the same time. Since returning from a four-game absence in late December due to a groin strain, the veteran center is averaging 12.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 66.3 percent from the floor.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: First double-double of career

    Ware totaled 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-98 loss to the Clippers.

    The rookie big man out of Indiana notched a double-double for the first time in his career, and he took advantage of the absence of Bam Adebayo (back) to clear the 25-minute mark for the first time as well. Ware has scored in double digits in four of his last eight contests, a span in which he's averaging 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Solid effort in narrow victory

    Sengun registered 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Sengun's performance was a mixed bag. His efficiency was subpar, and he committed six turnovers, but he still made an impact on the rest of the stat sheet. Over the past seven games, the center hasn't been below 14 points, six rebounds or three assists, posting an average of 20.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.9 steals in 32.7 minutes.

  • Zach Edey C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Underwhelms in tight loss Monday

    Edey posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.

    Edey's minutes have declined over the past two weeks while Memphis has regained nearly full health. Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.

  • Raptors' Chris Boucher: Another double-digit scoring effort

    Boucher finished with 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors.

    Boucher has been running hot and cold all season. He's on a good stretch right now, racking up double-digit points in four straight outings, including 10 points in four minutes to kick things off. During these four performances, the veteran has averaged 16.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes while shooting 75.8 percent from the field -- much higher than his season-long efficiency of 49.6 percent.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Nabs double-double in victory

    Gobert registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-106 win over the Wizards.

    Gobert chipped in a game-high mark in rebounds while securing his 16th double-double across 39 regular-season appearances. The big man has been efficient of late, shooting 80.0 percent from the field over his last three outings. However, Gobert's numbers have dropped considerably this year, and he is on pace to average his lowest points per game (10.1) since the 2015-16 campaign, as well as his lowest rebounds per game (10.5) since the 2014-15 season.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Gets green light Monday

    Davis (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he has missed only two outings this season. Over his last five appearances, the superstar big man has averaged 26.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest. He has also shot 51.1 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from downtown in that five-game span.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Returns Monday

    Jackson-Davis (hand) checked back into Monday's game against Toronto with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter, Warriors beat writer Danny Emerman reports.

    Jackson-Davis exited for the locker room to get his right hand taped up with 7:05 remaining in the third quarter. The big man will likely shoulder his usual workload the rest of the way after the brief exit, though the hand injury could be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Heads to locker room

    Jackson-Davis went to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors with an apparent right thumb/wrist injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

    Jackson-Davis was subbed out with seven minutes remaining in the third quarter to be evaluated further. He'll be considered questionable to return until the team has an update on his status.
