    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Downgraded to questionable

    Adebayo is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers with a lower back contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Despite being a very late addition to the injury report, Chiang reports that Adebayo will warm up with the intent to play. Over his last seven outings, Adebayo has compiled averages of 16.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.9 minutes.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Outstanding double-double

    Williams had 24 points (9-12 FG, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to the Suns.

    Williams missed just three shots from the field and grabbed a season-high mark in rebounds, but his excellent two-way effort wasn't enough to avoid the loss Sunday. This was Williams' third double-double of the season, and while injuries have limited him to just 14 appearances so far in 2024-25, he's been very productive when available. He should remain a solid fantasy alternative as long as he remains healthy.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Solid display off bench

    Filipowski finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 112-111 overtime win over the Nets.

    Several rookies stood out for the shorthanded Jazz in this tight OT win over the Nets, and Filipowski made his presence felt off the bench with a solid showing on both ends of the court. Even though he's not expected to crack the starting unit any time soon, the former Duke standout could be worth a look as a streaming option in deep formats if he's able to keep this up for the upcoming stretch of games. However, that's likely dependent on whether or not Lauri Markkanen (back), John Collins (hip) and or Walker Kessler (rest) return to action soon.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Records double-double

    Claxton closed with 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-111 overtime loss to Utah.

    Claxton was active on both ends of the court and notched his third double-double across seven appearances this month. The big man is averaging 12.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Grabs 18 boards Sunday

    Jokic logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 victory over Dallas.

    Jokic delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court, and the star big man finished just one assist away from recording yet another triple-double. Jokic has grabbed more than 15 rebounds in a whopping 11 games this season, and it's easy to run out of adjectives to describe how impressive he's been throughout the campaign. He's averaging 32.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 11.6 assists per game over his five appearances this month.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Double-double in Sunday's win

    Hartenstein produced 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 136-95 victory over the Wizards.

    The double-double was Hartenstein's 15th of the season, which is already a new career high. The 26-year-old center has been a somewhat inconsistent offensive contributor in January, scoring in single digits in three of the last six games, but he hasn't pulled down fewer than eight boards since Dec. 3 -- a stretch of 17 straight contests in which he's averaging 11.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 55.5 percent from the floor.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Double-double against Cavs

    Turner accumulated 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 victory over Cleveland.

    It was the veteran center's first double-double in January and his seventh of the season. Turner is averaging 15.4 points, 6.8 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.8 threes, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals through five appearances on the month while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor, and his 2.1 rejections per game on the season put him fourth in the NBA behind Victor Wembanyama, Walker Kessler and Anthony Davis.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Celtics' Al Horford: Strong showing off bench in win

    Horford closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 victory over New Orleans.

    Horford once again showcased his value coming off the bench Sunday, tallying bench-high-tying marks in scoring and rebounds in a balanced performance. Horford reached double figures in scoring for the first time since Dec. 27, now having done so on 11 occasions this year. He has now hauled in seven or more boards in nine outings.

  • Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Displays two-way play in win

    Porzingis ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 win over the Pelicans.

    Porzingis had a strong outing Sunday, getting it done on both ends of the floor while finishing as one of two players with a double-double. Porzingis led all Celtics in blocks while recording team-high-tying marks in threes made and rebounds in a winning effort. Porzingis matched his season high in rebounds, which he'd originally established Tuesday against Denver. All three of Porzingis' double-doubles this season have transpired within the last three games.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Dominates in paint in victory

    Sabonis provided 22 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 victory over the Bulls.

    Sabonis once again did it all for Sacramento in Sunday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points and ending two assists short of a triple-double. Sabonis has recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 10 outings this season, doing so in three of his last four contests.
