  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Drops 32 points in victory

    Durant finished Friday's 107-105 win over the Pelicans with 32 points (13-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 40 minutes.

    With Alperen Sengun (back) unavailable, Durant was much more aggressive on the offensive end in this one. After scoring 11 points on eight field-goal attempts in Wednesday's blowout loss to Denver, the superstar dropped a team-high 32 points Friday, including a go-ahead mid-range jumper and two clutch free throws down the stretch. He reached the 30-point threshold for the sixth time across 13 outings since the All-Star break. Durant has also tallied five assists in back-to-back games and has reached that mark in three of his last five appearances.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Exits early with sprained ankle

    Post won't return to Friday's game against Minnesota due to a left ankle sprain. He finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes.

    Post will join fellow big men Draymond Green (back) and Al Horford (calf) on the sideline for the remainder of the contest, leaving Kristaps Porzingis and Gui Santos to pick up the slack. Post's next opportunity to play will come in New York on Sunday, but if available, he could be outside of the rotation so long as Green, Horford and Porzingis are able to suit up.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Team-high seven assists in loss

    Nembhard finished Friday's 101-92 loss to New York with eight points (3-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 32 minutes.

    Nembhard didn't put together his finest effort, but it was notable to see him play both ends of a back-to-back set for the first time since December. The fourth-year guard will likely remain a candidate for occasional workload management in the final month of the regular season, but he should remain productive for fantasy managers when available. Over his last eight appearances, Nembhard has averaged 16.5 points, 6.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 27.3 minutes per game.

  • Seth Curry SG | GS

    Warriors' Seth Curry: Exits with adductor injury

    Curry won't return to Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to left adductor soreness. He finished with zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes.

    Making just his second appearance for the Warriors since missing just over two months due to left sciatic nerve irritation, Curry ended up having his night cut short after playing just seven first-half minutes. He can be viewed as day-to-day in advance of Sunday's game against the Knicks, but even if he's cleared to play in that contest, he's not guaranteed to be part of the Golden State rotation.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Chips in full stat line

    Zubac contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    Zubac made his second appearance for Indiana, and he saw a big jump in playing time after logging only 16 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Suns. The 29-year-old big man's availability might be sporadic for the last-place Pacers down the stretch, but he should remain quite effective when available. Dating back to his time with the Clippers, Zubac has averaged 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.6 minutes per tilt across his last seven games while shooting a robust 70.5 percent from the field.

  • Jarace Walker PF | IND

    Pacers' Jarace Walker: Just misses double-double

    Walker posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    Walker continues to produce for the Pacers, coming close to what would've been his fourth double-double of the year. Even when Pascal Siakam (knee) returns, Walker appears to be solidified as a starter. Walker has started 13 consecutive games, during which he has averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

  • OG Anunoby SF | NY

    Knicks' OG Anunoby: Stays hot Friday

    Anunoby recorded 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 101-92 win over Indiana.

    Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) didn't suit up Friday, which gave Anunoby the opportunity to step into a larger role offensively. Anunoby missed some time with a toe injury back in February, but he's found a groove since working his way back from the issue. Over his last nine contests, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

  • Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Puts up game-high 29 points

    Brunson recorded 29 points (11-25 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 101-92 win over Indiana.

    With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sitting out, New York's offense ran through Brunson on Friday. The All-Star floor general turned in his highest-scoring output since the Feb. 19 loss to the Pistons, reaching the 20-point plateau in his fourth straight game. Since the All-Star break, Brunson has averaged 23.3 points, 8.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per contest across 13 games.

  • Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Shooting woes continue

    Bridges accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and four rebounds in 30 minutes during Friday's 101-92 victory over the Pacers.

    Bridges continues to endure a rough patch as a scorer, as he's now scored fewer than 12 points in five consecutive games. Although the 29-year-old swingman remains locked into a starting role for the Knicks, Bridges is averaging just 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game over his last five outings, shooting a miserable 32.5 percent from the field during that stretch.

  • Ace Bailey SG | UTA

    Jazz's Ace Bailey: Leaves early Friday with concussion

    Bailey won't return to Friday's game against Portland due to concussion symptoms. He finished with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block across seven minutes.

    The Jazz haven't confirmed that Bailey sustained a concussion, but his symptoms of the brain injury will be enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. The rookie first-round pick will likely enter the NBA's concussion protocol, making it uncertain that he'll be cleared in advance of the Jazz's next game Sunday against the Kings. If Bailey ends up sitting out Sunday, the Jazz could make two-way player Blake Hinson active for that contest after he didn't dress for Friday's game.
