Cunningham ended with 30 points (10-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 37 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 loss to Washington.

Cunningham couldn't find the bottom of the net from beyond the arc. However, he performed well enough elsewhere to reach the 30-point threshold for the first time since Jan. 1. Cunningham's double-double streak came to an end at three games after being held to eight assists, though it's hard to be disappointed in his strong production across the board.

Landale finished Thursday's 121-119 win over the Jazz with 26 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 32 minutes.

Landale was given the green light to make his Hawks debut Thursday following a tumultuous week in which he was traded by Memphis to Utah on Tuesday before being shipped to Atlanta on Wednesday. Perhaps the Jazz will regret moving on from the fifth-year center, as he put together a dominant display Thursday despite the lack of playing time with his new teammates. Landale ended up leading the Hawks in scoring, three-pointers and blocks while finishing second in rebounds behind Jalen Johnson (16 rebounds). It'll be interesting to see how head coach Quin Snyder shapes the Hawks' rotation once Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) is cleared to return, especially if Landale can come close to maintaining this kind of production.

Collier produced 25 points (11-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in 48 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.

Collier continues to see elite usage with Keyonte George (ankle) sidelined. The 22-year-old didn't miss a second of game action for a second straight appearance, and he piled on the production across the board yet again. He's now recorded a double-double in back-to-back games and set a new season high in rebounds Thursday.

Johnson finished Thursday's 121-119 win over the Jazz with 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, 15 assists and two blocks over 39 minutes.

Johnson's five missed three-pointers represented about the only real blemish in what was otherwise another spectacular game from the fifth-year forward. He was one assist shy from tying a season high while logging a triple-double for the 10th time this season and for a third consecutive game. Johnson was named to his first All-Star game Monday, and his recent stretch of games is exactly why he deserved the honor.

Simons posted 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-13 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one block over 32 minutes during the Bulls' 123-107 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.

Simons was cleared to make his Bulls debut Thursday, two days after he was traded by Boston to Chicago. Simons was strictly a bench player during his short Celtics tenure, but he was moved into the starting lineup for his first game in a Bulls uniform, and the veteran wing took advantage of the opportunity by connecting on a game-high six triples. Simons' efficiency from the field was a good sign, but what his role will look like once Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) return remains to be seen. Simons will also be competing against fellow newcomers Jaden Ivey and Collin Sexton (recently traded) for backcourt minutes.

Ingram tallied 33 points (12-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, six rebounds and one block over 35 minutes during the Raptors' 123-107 win over the Bulls on Thursday.

Ingram did a little bit of everything Thursday, leading the Raptors in both scoring and rebounds while finishing second in assists to Scottie Barnes (seven). It was Ingram's seventh 30-plus-point performance of the season, and the veteran forward has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine outings. Over that nine-game span, he has averaged 24.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.4 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks over 35.2 minutes per game.

Gordon (recently traded) is likely to be waived by the Grizzlies, Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports reports.

The Grizzlies acquired Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick from the 76ers on Thursday. It appears the veteran wing will not stick around in Memphis, but he could garner interest from teams on the waiver wire or as a free agent if he clears waivers. Gordon last saw regular-season action Dec. 23 against the Nets, when he played 17 minutes off the bench while tallying 12 points, one steal and one block.

Podziemski will be deployed off the bench Thursday against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Podziemski will come off the bench for the first time since Jan. 19 as Golden State elects to shake up the starting lineup. He should still be heavily involved with the Warriors missing Stephen Curry (knee) again Thursday.

Spencer is starting Thursday's game against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Spencer will draw just his fifth start of the 2025-26 campaign as the team will be without the services of Stephen Curry (knee). Spencer has scored in double figures in all four of his previous starts this year, so he'll have a shot to provide a scoring boost again Thursday evening.

Horford is not in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Suns on Thursday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Horford has started in each of the Warriors' last four games, and over that span he has averaged 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over 22.5 minutes per game. The veteran big man will revert to a bench role for Thursday's contest while De'Anthony Melton enters the Warriors' starting five for the first time this season.
