  • Aaron Wiggins SG | OKC

    Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Pops for 17 against Houston

    Wiggins ended with 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 loss to the Rockets.

    Making his second straight start while Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains on the shelf, Wiggins delivered another solid performance. The fifth-year forward has drained multiple three-pointers in eight of his last nine games, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 boards, 2.6 threes, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 28.3 minutes.

  • Isaiah Joe SG | OKC

    Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Drops 21 off bench Saturday

    Joe provided 21 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 112-106 loss to the Rockets.

    It's the second time in the last three games that Joe has topped 20 points, but both those performances came with the second unit, while he managed just two points in a spot start Wednesday against the Spurs. That was also the only time in the last seven contests that Joe has failed to drain multiple three-pointers, a stretch in which he's averaging 12.4 points, 2.9 threes, 2.4 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.1 minutes.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Grabs double-double in return

    Holmgren amassed 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and 14 rebounds in 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 loss to the Rockets.

    The 23-year-old center missed OKC's last game Wednesday due to a sore back, but Holmgren looked none the worse for wear in return as he recorded his 15th double-double of the season. Ten of them have come in his last 18 games dating back to Dec. 31, a stretch in which Holmgren is averaging 16.4 points, 9.8 boards, 2.7 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.1 threes.

  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Chips in 20 against OKC

    Durant logged 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 win over the Thunder.

    Facing the team that made him the second overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, Durant let his younger teammates take the lead in terms of usage and shot volume -- he was fifth among Houston's starters in FG attempts -- but he still reached 20 points for the seventh time in his last nine games. Over that stretch, Durant is averaging 26.1 points, 4.8 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals.

  • Jabari Smith PF | HOU

    Rockets' Jabari Smith: Big double-double in win

    Smith notched 22 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, one block and one steal across 43 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 victory over Oklahoma City.

    The double-double was his 10th of the season, while the scoring effort was Smith's best since he erupted for a season-high 32 against the Pelicans on Jan. 18. The fourth-year forward has scored in double digits in six straight contests, averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 boards, 2.5 threes, 2.2 blocks, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch.

  • Tari Eason PF | HOU

    Rockets' Tari Eason: Erupts for season-high 26 in win

    Eason finished Saturday's 112-106 victory over the Thunder with 26 points (10-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 34 minutes.

    The 26 points were a season high for Eason, who hadn't even reached 20 since Nov. 12 against the Wizards. The fourth-year wing has had trouble staying healthy once again this season, but over six games since returning to the starting lineup Jan. 26 he's averaging 14.8 points, 7.0 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.7 steals in 29.7 minutes.

  • Noah Clowney PF | BKN

    Nets' Noah Clowney: Drops 18 on Washington

    Clowney amassed 18 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-113 victory over the Wizards.

    It was Clowney's best scoring effort since Jan. 16, when he struck for 23 points against the Bulls. The third-year forward scored just six points total in his first two February games after returning from a lower-back issue, but Saturday's performance suggests he's nearly back to 100 percent.

  • Danny Wolf PF | BKN

    Nets' Danny Wolf: Strikes for 16 against Wizards

    Wolf racked up 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and six assists over 20 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 127-113 victory over Washington.

    The six assists were a career high for the 27th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, while the 16 points were Wolf's highest total since Dec. 12 against the Mavericks. The Michigan product remains inconsistent in the second unit, however -- Wolf has scored in double digits only four times in the last 11 games (three starts), averaging 8.7 points, 5.5 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.0 threes in 20.8 minutes a contest over that stretch.

  • Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Strong showing off bench Saturday

    Sharpe chipped in 19 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals over 20 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 127-113 victory over the Wizards.

    The fifth-year center tied his season scoring high while just missing his second double-double in the last three games, and his fourth of the campaign. Sharpe also nabbed multiple steals for the fifth time in the last eight contests, a stretch in which he's averaging 11.0 points, 8.8 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.9 steals in just 19.4 minutes a contest.

  • Nets' Michael Porter: Delivers team-high 23 in win

    Porter contributed 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-113 victory over Washington.

    The 27-year-old forward bounced back from a nine-point effort Thursday in Orlando, leading the Nets in scoring and reaching 20 points for the ninth time in his last 12 appearances. Over that stretch, Porter is averaging 22.9 points, 6.5 boards, 3.5 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals, and with the trade deadline now in the rear view mirror, he may be able to regain his focus that saw him score in double digits in 35 straight games to begin the season before finally falling short Jan. 25.
