Filipowski amassed four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 loss to Miami.

Filipowski played at least 20 minutes for the third time over his last four appearances. While he struggled to make his mark offensively again, Filipowski grabbed double-digit rebounds for the first time this season. As long as John Collins (hip) and Brice Sensabaugh (illness) continue to miss games, Filipowski has a clear path to consistent minutes.

Duren totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 loss to the Warriors.

Duren's two steals tied his season high, and his three blocks were one short of tying his season high. Defense is the weak point of the center's game and a significant reason why his minutes per game (25.1) are down from last year (29.1). His play has been improved overall since the beginning of December, however, averaging 10.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 26.4 minutes.

Ware amassed eight points (4-5 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 19 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 win over the Jazz.

Ware played fewer than 20 minutes for a third straight game but remains a key part of Miami's bench unit due to Jimmy Butler's (suspension) absence. Over his last six appearances, the rookie first-round pick has averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals while shooting 68.4 percent from the field in 18.3 minutes per game.

Kessler racked up nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two blocks over 30 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 loss to the Heat.

Kessler finished just one point away from recording what would've been his fourth consecutive double-double. Despite not being a go-to option on offense, Kessler remains a reliable two-way option for the Jazz, particularly due to his efficiency as a scoring weapon. Over his last 10 games, Kessler averaged 10.2 points and 12.9 rebounds per game while shooting 70.5 percent from the floor.

Adebayo closed Thursday's 97-92 victory over the Jazz with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 29 minutes.

Adebayo has bounced back admirably since posting a four-point dud in the loss to the Jazz on Jan. 4. Over his last three games, the star big man is averaging 17.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

Looney registered eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 win over Detroit.

After missing four of the last seven games, Looney played well in 21 minutes off the bench for the Warriors during Thursday's win against the Pistons. The veteran big man is averaging 5.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 54.7 percent from the floor this season.

Jackson-Davis is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a left eye contusion.

Jackson-Davis is in danger of missing his first game of the season Friday due to injury. With Draymond Green (back) already ruled out against Indiana, Kevon Looney, Quinten Post and Kyle Anderson could all receive increased playing time.

Sengun closed Thursday's 119-115 win over Memphis with 32 points (12-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-15 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Sengun led both teams Thursday in points and rebounds, and his only blemish on the night was his poor shooting from the charity stripe. The fourth-year center is now up to 24 double-doubles on the season (10 of which have come over his last 17 outings), which is tied with Ivica Zubac for seventh-most in the NBA. Over his last 10 games, Sengun has averaged 20.8 points on 52.8 percent shooting, 10.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals over 32.3 minutes per contest.

Jackson-Davis chipped in 14 points (7-9 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 victory over Detroit.

Jackson-Davis has established himself in the first unit and has scored in double digits in nine of his previous 11 starts, a span in which he's also recorded three double-doubles. The last two have come in his previous two appearances while going a combined 16-for-21 from the field in that stretch. Jackson-Davis is averaging 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 blocks per game across 29 starts in 2024-25.

Allen had 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 victory over the Raptors.

Allen missed just one of his nine attempts from the floor and posted a loaded stat line, recording at least one tally in each of the five major categories for the fourth time across his last six appearances. The big man has also recorded four double-doubles over his last five outings, averaging 20.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game in that span.
