  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Fills stat sheet Wednesday

    Vucevic ended Wednesday's 113-110 loss to Indiana with 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.

    Vucevic came just one rebound shy of recording what would've been a second straight double-double, but he delivered a strong outing anyway since he made his presence felt in each of the five major categories -- a feat he's achieved in three of his last five games. Over that stretch, Vucevic is averaging 17.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest.

  • Keyonte George SG | UTA

    Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive against Warriors

    George ended with 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 140-124 loss to Golden State.

    After getting the night off on the front end of a back-to-back Tuesday, George returned to the court and delivered another strong performance. The third-year guard has scored at least 17 points in nine straight appearances, averaging 26.3 points, 5.7 assists, 3.1 boards, 2.9 threes and 1.6 steals over that stretch as his breakout campaign continues.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Strong effort in loss

    Jackson closed Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets with 26 points (10-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 33 minutes.

    Jackson was a bright spot for the Grizzlies, posting his eighth game of the campaign with at least 26 points. This season, Jackson has been underwhelming compared to past years with averages of 19.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers on 47.9 percent shooting from the field.

  • Isaiah Livers SF | PHO

    Suns' Isaiah Livers: Not on injury report

    Livers is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against Detroit.

    Livers missed Tuesday's matchup with Brooklyn due to an illness but will suit up after a one-game absence to provide Phoenix with some wing depth. He is still behind Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn on the depth chart, so although he may be available, Livers probably won't see significant playing time.

  • Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Supplies team-high 22 in loss

    Sensabaugh supplied 22 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three assists and two steals over 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 140-124 loss to the Warriors.

    The third-year wing continues to make an impact on the second unit for the Jazz. Since shifting back to the bench Jan. 12, Sensabaugh has scored more than 20 points in five of eight games, averaging 20.3 points, 3.0 boards, 2.4 threes, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 26.3 minutes while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor.

  • Gui Santos SF | GS

    Warriors' Gui Santos: Hits for season-high 16 in win

    Santos ended Wednesday's 140-124 win over Utah with 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes off the bench.

    The 16 points were a season high for the third-year forward. Santos has quietly drained at least one three-pointer in eight straight appearances (two starts), shooting 41.7 percent (10-for-24) from long distance while averaging 7.0 points, 3.8 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in only 17.9 minutes as he pushes for a more consistent spot in the rotation after Jimmy Butler (knee) was lost for the season.

  • Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Teases triple-double against Jazz

    Podziemski produced 11 points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 140-124 victory over Utah.

    The third-year guard came within sniffing distance of his first career triple-double. Podziemski has made five straight starts for the Warriors since Jimmy Butler (knee) was lost for the season, averaging 11.0 points, 5.8 assists, 5.4 boards and 1.6 steals in 26.6 minutes over that stretch, but there should be more offense coming once he gets comfortable in his new role -- he's shooting just 11.8 percent (2-for-17) from three-point range.

  • Matas Buzelis SF | CHI

    Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Reaches 20-point mark

    Buzelis finished with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Pacers.

    Buzelis was efficient as a scorer and active on the glass, as he ended just two boards shy of recording what would've been his first double-double since Dec. 5. The second-year guard has reached the 20-point mark in five of his 14 appearances since the beginning of January, so while he's not a go-to option on offense for Chicago, he's producing enough to be a reliable option across all fantasy formats. He's averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this month.

  • Grizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Scoreless in loss

    Caldwell-Pope logged zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets.

    Caldwell-Pope has been ice-cold for the Grizzlies lately, and his minutes have suffered as a result. Over his last six appearances, he's shooting 31.6 percent from the field with averages of 5.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes per contest.

  • Moses Moody SG | GS

    Warriors' Moses Moody: Drains five threes in big win

    Moody amassed 26 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 140-124 win over the Jazz.

    The 26 points marked Moody's best scoring effort since Nov. 16, when he poured in a season-high 32 against the Pelicans. The fifth-year forward has struck for multiple three-pointers in eight of the last nine games, averaging 15.2 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 threes, 1.4 assists and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 25.3 minutes over that stretch while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor and a dazzling 53.2 percent (33-for-62) from beyond the arc.
