  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Questionable for Friday

    Towns is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls with a right elbow issue.

    Towns was a late addition to the injury report after the Knicks submitted a clean report the previous day. With the Bulls struggling, the Knicks may be tempted to hold Towns out as a precaution. If he sits, the Knicks could lean more on Mitchell Robinson.

    Bulls' Tre Jones: Expected to play

    Jones (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

    Jones is now expected to play after previously carrying a questionable tag. Josh Giddey (hamstring) is also trending towards playing, and that could limit the workloads of Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham.

    Bulls' Josh Giddey: Upgraded to probable

    Giddey (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against New York.

    Giddey was previously listed as questionable, but he's trending towards a return from a one-game absence. Tre Jones (ankle) is also probable to suit up for this contest, meaning Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton likely won't be as involved.

  • Isaiah Joe SG | OKC

    Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Erupts for 20 points

    Joe logged 20 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt) and one steal in 13 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers.

    Joe, despite seeing just 13 minutes, did a ton of damage during his time on the floor. This game was a blowout by 43 points, so the Thunder spread the minutes among 15 players. Luguentz Dort picked up an undisclosed injury, so Joe could step into a larger role if Dort misses time.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Limited to 18 minutes in win

    Holmgren racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 18 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers.

    The Thunder ran away with this game early, resulting in smaller workloads for the key players. Holmgren has been terrific this season with averages of 16.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers.

  • Grayson Allen SG | PHO

    Suns' Grayson Allen: Scores 13 points off bench

    Allen closed with 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 loss to the Hornets.

    Allen has played exclusively off the bench since the All-Star break, but he's been extremely consistent, and he retains fantasy value despite the change in role. He has scored in double digits in every one of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 17.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals across 27.2 minutes per game.

  • Jalen Williams SF | OKC

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Modest workload in win

    Williams accumulated 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 victory over the Lakers.

    Williams was held out of Monday's game against Detroit for injury management during the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he was back with the starters Thursday. His minutes were held in check, though it was mostly due to the lopsided score, with the Thunder winning by 43 points.

  • Dillon Brooks SF | PHO

    Suns' Dillon Brooks: Playing time increases

    Brooks registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 29 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 loss to the Hornets.

    Brooks returned to the lineup in the loss to the Magic on Tuesday, but he saw a bigger workload this time around and delivered a better stat line. The Suns are likely to be cautious with Brooks in the final weeks of the regular season, but the idea is to have him fully healthy and ready to go for the start of the playoffs in mid-April.

  • LeBron James SF | LAL

    Lakers' LeBron James: Muted effort in blowout

    James logged 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 loss to Oklahoma City.

    The Lakers were blown out of this contest, resulting in fewer minutes for James. It's worth mentioning that Luka Doncic tweaked his hamstring Thursday, meaning James could have more responsibilities going forward if Doncic is forced to miss time.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Goes for 22 points in loss

    Booker chipped in 22 points (9-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 loss to Charlotte.

    Booker reached the 22-point threshold for the sixth game in a row, and the star guard continues to be a consistent scoring option for the Suns. He is averaging 27.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.5 steals per game over his last 10 games.
