Jones notched nine points (3-12 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 loss to the Thunder.

Jones opened Tuesday's game with six straight misses and never found his footing offensively. The struggles were team-wide, as the Pelicans shot just 34-for-99 from the floor and 10-for-40 from three-point range against the Thunder's No. 1-rated defense. On the positive side, Jones contributed four stocks and five assists without a turnover and ended his evening with a plus-9 differential.

Murphy posted 10 points (3-20 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 loss to Oklahoma City.

Murphy couldn't buy a bucket Tuesday night, as he opened the game with seven straight misses and didn't get his first three-pointer to fall until midway through the fourth quarter. While the shooting was rough, Murphy did come through with the dimes and defensive stats, and he didn't commit a single turnover in his 39 minutes of floor time. Managers can anticipate a more efficient offensive outing Friday versus Memphis.

George tallied 32 points (11-21 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 139-122 win over the Bucks.

George got into a rhythm from three-point range, knocking down a season-high nine triples en route to a game-high 32 points. He had shot just 29.6 percent from downtown in his previous 10 appearances this month. The veteran forward was productive across the board in his return from a one-game absence, contributing at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists for the first time this season and for just the third time in his tenure with the 76ers. He has reached the 30-point threshold twice this season.

Kuzma didn't return to Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers due to a left quadricep cramp, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. He finished with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 32 minutes.

Kuzma exited Tuesday's contest with 4:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and was unable to return. The 30-year-old forward scored in double figures for a second consecutive contest and dished out a season-high mark in assists, albeit in a losing effort. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Wizards.

Kuzma limped to the locker room with 4:16 remaining in the final quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 32 minutes.

Brunson contributed 28 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one block across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 103-87 win over the Kings.

Brunson turned in an efficient performance and led all players in triples en route to a team-high 28 points. The star point guard has reached the 20-point threshold in each of his last 21 completed games. However, he dished out just four assists, marking the third time this month he has recorded fewer than five dimes when playing at least six minutes. On a more positive note, he blocked a shot for the first time since Jan. 7 and for just the fourth time this season.

DeRozan registered 34 points (13-26 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and two turnovers across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 103-87 loss to the Knicks.

DeRozan saw some more shots falling his way with Zach LaVine (back) and Malik Monk (ankle) watching from the sidelines, and he fell just three points shy of matching his season high. However, the end result was yet another loss for the Kings, who dropped their sixth straight game Tuesday and are now 3-20 on the road this season.

Mykhailiuk won't start against the Clippers on Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Mykhailiuk will retreat to the second unit after starting each of Utah's last four games. The 28-year-old guard has yet to see the floor in games he doesn't start so far this season, meaning he isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time Tuesday.
