  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-double in DC

    Holmgren accumulated 18 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 victory over the Wizards.

    The double-double was Holmgren's second in five games since returning from an illness that cost him two contests in early March, and his 22nd of the season -- one shy of the career high he set as a rookie in 2023-24. Over 12 appearances since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old big is averaging 16.4 points, 10.2 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.1 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Appealing one-game ban

    The Lakers filed an appeal on Doncic's behalf to rescind the 16th technical foul of the season that the point guard was assessed during Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Doncic and the Magic's Goga Bitadze both drew technicals with 1:19 remaining in the third quarter, when the two players exchanged words while Doncic was shooting a free throw. The league is expected to further review the incident in question, but unless the technical is rescinded, Doncic will serve a one-game suspension during Monday's contest in Detroit. In the event of a Doncic absence, Austin Reaves would likely slide over to the point guard spot, while players such as Rui Hachimura, Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard could all be called upon to handle larger roles.

  • Isaiah Stevens PG | SAC

    Kings' Isaiah Stevens: Out Sunday with sore ankle

    The Kings list Stevens out for Sunday's game against the Nets due to right ankle soreness.

    The two-way player hasn't made an appearance for Sacramento since the All-Star break, so he presumably sustained the injury during his most recent game in the G League with the Stockton Kings on Saturday. Over his three appearances at the NBA level on the season, Stevens is averaging 3.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 rebounds in 14.3 minutes.

  • Taurean Prince SG | MIL

    Bucks' Taurean Prince: Offers little despite start

    Prince contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Prince was given the starting nod for just the second time this season, highlighting just how desperate things are in Milwaukee at the moment. Having played seven games since returning from injury, Prince has offered very little on paper. In 18.3 minutes per game during that time, he has averaged just 6.1 points and 1.6 three-pointers.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Grabs 11 boards in win

    Sims totaled five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Sims dominated the glass, hauling in a game-high 11 rebounds off the bench. Milwaukee is dealing with injuries to multiple players, meaning Sims has been thrust into a meaningful role, albeit typically off the bench. With that said, his offensive upside is basically non-existent, meaning he should be considered a rebounds streamer only.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Dominates in victory

    Rollins supplied 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Rollins was easily the best player on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. With Milwaukee down on troops yet again, Rollins did as he has done all season, turning in an elite two-way performance. Despite some curious coaching decisions which have seen him moved to the bench at times, Rollins continues to put his hand up for the Most-Improved Player award. In 68 appearances, he has averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per game.

  • Isaiah Livers SF | PHO

    Suns' Isaiah Livers: Rare appearance Saturday

    Livers ended with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 10 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 loss to Milwaukee.

    Livers moved back into the rotation, suiting up for just the third time in the past 13 games. Despite injuries to other players, Livers has been mostly a non-factor, averaging just 0.3 points and 0.8 rebounds in six appearances over the past month.

  • Ryan Dunn SF | PHO

    Suns' Ryan Dunn: Encouraging performance

    Dunn recorded 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 loss to the Bucks.

    Dunn had his best night in quite some time, recording double-digit scoring for the first time in his past 10 games, while also adding a pair of defensive stats. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, his recent lack of production cannot be overlooked. In 14 games over the past month, he has been barely a top-300 player, averaging 5.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per outing.

  • Jazz's Kennedy Chandler: Thrives in season debut

    Chandler registered 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.

    Chandler stepped on an NBA court for the first time since the 2022-23 season, when he appeared in 36 games as a member of the Grizzlies, and he certainly left a good impression in this contest. He signed a 10-day deal with the Jazz on Friday, and if he performs like this over the course of the contract, he could find a way to stay with the Jazz until the end of the 2025-26 season at least.

  • Ace Bailey SG | UTA

    Jazz's Ace Bailey: Scores 25 but struggles with shot

    Bailey ended Saturday's 126-116 loss to Philadelphia with 25 points (7-20 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and five blocks over 33 minutes.

    Bailey was coming off posting a career-high 33 points in the win over the Bucks on Thursday, and while he fell short of reaching that mark in this loss, it was the first time in his career that he recorded at least 25 points in back-to-back contests. Bailey endured a slow start to his NBA career but has progressed steadily as the season has advanced. All signs point to him ending the season -- and therefore, the fantasy playoffs -- on a strong note as the Jazz's primary go-to option on offense. Bailey has scored at least 20 points six times since the All-Star break (13 games), compared to only seven during the rest of the season (49 contests).
