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.

Boucher produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 loss to Cleveland.

The Raptors might have lost to the Cavaliers on Thursday, but Boucher had an impressive performance off the bench. The big man drained a season-high five threes en route to posting his second-best scoring mark of the campaign, as well as a season-best output in rebounds. Boucher has scored in double digits in his last two games, as well as in five of his previous eight, but he won't have a lot of upside if he continues to see under 20 minutes per game on a steady basis.

Nurkic (coach's decision) didn't play during Thursday's 123-115 win over the Hawks.

Despite being available for Thursday's contest, Nurkic failed to log any playing time. Since returning from his three-game suspension, the 30-year-old center has been removed from the starting lineup and has now fallen out of the rotation altogether. Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro soaked up all of the center minutes against Atlanta, and it will be worth monitoring to see if this trend continues.

Capela closed Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Suns with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes.

Capela and Onyeka Okongwu continued their timeshare at center, but Capela had the better total over his teammate in the loss. The veteran was mentioned consistently as a trade target in the offseason, but the Hawks would be very thin inside if they dealt him now, and Okongwu sometimes struggles when given the starting nod.

Clingan ended Thursday's 117-111 loss to the Mavericks with 11 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 24 minutes.

The Trail Blazers slid Clingan in for Deandre Ayton, who had a difficult time getting past Dereck Lively. Clingan was more effective, although he enjoyed more success when Daniel Gafford was on the floor. Ayton and the Trail Blazers are bound to part ways eventually, and although Clingan still needs more seasoning, he may end up with an enhanced role if a potential suitor emerges with a deal for Ayton that the team can't pass up.
