Hart contributed 20 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 30 minutes in Friday's 127-97 win over the Trail Blazers.

Hart stuffed the stat sheet in this one and reached the 20-point threshold for a second straight game. The 30-year-old swingman also tied the game-high mark in assists and has dished out at least five dimes in three of his last four outings. Additionally, he provided at least two steals for a third consecutive contest. While Hart isn't guaranteed to score in double figures on a nightly basis, he continues to offer value through his peripheral numbers.

Pritchard scored 29 points (12-16 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists across 33 minutes in Friday's 112-93 win over the Kings.

Pritchard was on the verge of recording what would have been his fifth game with at least 30 points this season, but he still finished as the game's highest scorer by a wide margin. Pritchard has cleared the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings and should continue as one of the Celtics' go-to options on offense as long as he continues to carry a hot hand.

Raynaud posted 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 112-93 loss to the Celtics.

After coming off the bench in three straight games, Raynaud got the starting nod Friday due to Domantas Sabonis (rest) being sidelined. Raynaud turned in an extremely efficient performance and finished as Sacramento's third-leading scorer. The rookie second-rounder also led the Kings in rebounds, securing his seventh double-double through 42 regular-season appearances. He scored in double figures for the first time since Jan. 14 and grabbed double-digit boards for the first time since Dec. 30.

Cunningham (hip) is available and starting Friday's game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Cunningham was deemed probable before the contest, but the star guard will get the nod and should handle his regular workload as the Pistons' main weapon on offense. Cunningham is averaging 21.8 points, 9.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in 10 appearances since the beginning of January.

Doncic posted 37 points (13-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 assists, 11 rebounds and three steals across 31 minutes in Friday's 142-111 win over the Wizards.

Doncic recorded a 25-point triple-double in the first half, marking the second time in his career that he has posted that stat line in a single half. The superstar led all players in scoring and reached the 30-point threshold for the fifth time over his last six outings. He also led all players in assists and finished second on the Lakers in rebounds en route to his sixth triple-double on the campaign. Doncic has racked up two triple-doubles and three double-doubles in his last six games.

Filipowski will start against the Nets on Friday.

The second-year center will get the starting nod due to Jusuf Nurkic (illness) being sidelined. As a starter this season (15 games), Filipowski has averaged 11.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 26.1 minutes per game.

Valanciunas won't start against the Clippers on Friday.

With Nikola Jokic (knee) back in the lineup, Valanciunas will retreat to the bench. The veteran big man has averaged 8.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game over 32 appearances off the bench this season.

Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.

Porter was a late addition to the injury report Friday and won't suit up due to left knee soreness. Tyrese Proctor and Lonzo Ball are candidates for increased minutes due to Porter being sidelined. The 25-year-old guard's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Portland.

Williams (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Nets.

Williams is back after a one-game absence, so he should see his usual minutes Friday night. Walter Clayton's minutes might dip with Williams active.

Valanciunas (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.

As expected, Valanciunas will shed his probable tag and suit up Friday. The veteran big man has appeared in four outings following an extended absence due to a calf strain. During that stretch, he has averaged 14.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.0 minutes per tilt. However, with Nikola Jokic (knee) back in the lineup, Valanciunas will likely see fewer minutes.
