Thompson notched nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 104-86 win over Atlanta.

Thompson didn't really look for his shot in this one, but he did a nice job distributing the rock on offense, and he was a pest on the defensive end. The Rockets have now won six of their past eight games, and they'll look to earn their second straight victory Saturday versus the Mavericks.

Kispert supplied 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 104-86 loss to Houston.

Kispert got some extended minutes with Jalen Johnson (calf) taking the night off, and he took advantage of the increased opportunity. This was Kispert's second straight game with multiple triples and double-digit points, and this was his second game of the season with at least one steal and one block. It'll be interesting to see if he can keep the hot streak going Saturday with a favorable matchup against the Pacers.

McCollum supplied 23 points (9-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 104-86 loss to the Rockets.

With Jalen Johnson (calf) sitting out Thursday's game, the Hawks leaned more heavily on McCollum offensively, and he also saw an uptick in minutes. McCollum has been playing well in Atlanta, averaging 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.6 triples and just 1.7 turnovers per contest.

Koloko accumulated six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 104-86 loss to the Rockets.

Koloko did a nice job making things difficult on Alperen Sengun, helping hold him to just nine points on 3-for-14 shooting. Onyeka Okongwu (teeth) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game in Indiana, so Koloko likely has another start coming his way. Give him a look if you need some boards and defensive stats.

Dosunmu finished Thursday's 116-113 loss to the Heat with 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes.

Dosunmu took advantage of more looks in the second half after Jalen Smith was ruled out for the rest of the night due to a calf injury. Dosunmu posted his best scoring performance since Jan. 7 by shooting 50 percent from the field while going perfect from the charity stripe. The Illinois product was just as impressive on the boards by grabbing a season-high seven rebounds. Dosunmu could be in line for an uptick in minutes going forward depending on the severity of Smith's injury.

George notched 23 points (10-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 win over Milwaukee.

George led the way for Washington in the scoring department, though it clearly wasn't his most efficient showing, as he needed 24 attempts from the field to reach 23 points. He also managed to contribute outside of the scoring column, dishing out five assists for a second straight game while accounting for two of the Wizards' eight steals.

Kuzma ended Thursday's 109-99 loss to the Wizards with 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and six assists over 35 minutes.

Kuzma failed to connect from beyond the arc, but he posted a serviceable shooting line and fell one rebound shy of a double-double. His production across the board has noticeably improved over his last three performances, as he's averaging 15.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 34.0 minutes during that hot stretch. The Bucks will need to continue to lean heavily on Kuzma while Giannis Antetokounmpo recovers from a calf injury.

Rollins finished Thursday's 109-99 loss to Washington with 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists and four steals in 26 minutes.

Rollins found success yet again on the offensive end, particularly from beyond the arc where, he recorded nine of his 17 points. This improves his scoring average to 20.7 points over his last three appearances. Rollins also impressed with his playmaking ability, and he added to his solid evening by tying his season high in swipes.

Turner tallied 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and six blocks in 39 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 loss to the Wizards.

Turner poured in a team-high 21 points and drilled a pair of treys, but he didn't get enough support from his surrounding cast to escape with the win. The 29-year-old was highly effective on the glass, where he grabbed double-digit rebounds for the first time since Nov. 24, resulting in his third double-double of the season. He also recorded six blocked shots for the second time in three games. Turner should continue to see plenty of opportunities to produce across the board without the help of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) for the foreseeable future.

Sarr produced 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 32 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 win over Milwaukee.

Sarr dominated the boards for the Wizards and secured seven of his 17 rebounds on the offensive glass. He also enjoyed an efficient shooting night, resulting in his second consecutive double-double. While Sarr wasn't able to replicate the six blocks he recorded Tuesday against the Blazers, he swatted away two more shots Thursday, tying Bilal Coulibaly for the team high in blocks.
