  • AJ Green SG | MIL

    Bucks' AJ Green: Drains five threes in loss

    Green posted 15 points (5-15 FG, 5-13 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists in 46 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets.

    Green remains a reliable outside threat, and while he doesn't score enough to lead the Bucks offensively on a game-to-game basis, it's worth noting that he's outstanding in category-based leagues due to his three-point shooting numbers. Green has drained multiple threes in nine of his last 11 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 9.9 points per game but shooting an impressive 41.2 percent from beyond the arc.

  • John Konchar SG | UTA

    Jazz's John Konchar: Produces first double-double

    Konchar supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to Denver.

    It was the first double-double of the season for Konchar, and his first since 2023-24 with Memphis. The veteran forward has seen a significant workload the last couple of weeks due to Lauri Markkanen (hip), Jaren Jackson (knee) and other members of the Utah frontcourt being on the shelf. Over the last seven games (two starts), Konchar is averaging 10.4 points, 6.7 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals in 28.1 minutes while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent (7-for-17) from long range.

  • Reed Sheppard SG | HOU

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Scores 27 points in win

    Sheppard finished with 27 points (9-15 FG, 9-14 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 victory over the Bucks.

    Sheppard got the start Wednesday after coming off the bench against the Knicks on Tuesday during the first leg of a back-to-back set. Tari Eason moved to the bench to make room for Sheppard, who carried the Rockets offensively alongside Alperen Sengun. This 27-point output was Sheppard's second straight game with at least 20 points, and he's hit this line in three of the Rockets' last seven contests. Since the All-Star break, Sheppard has been alternating between the first unit and the bench, averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Big double-double against Denver

    Filipowski recorded 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Nuggets.

    It was Filipowski's second straight double-double, and his 12th of the season, one short of the mark he set as a rookie in 2024-25. The second-round pick out of Duke has scored 20-plus points in four straight games, averaging 24.0 points, 9.8 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals during that surge while shooting 63.8 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent (10-for-23) from long distance.

  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Sniffs double-double

    Durant notched 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 win over Milwaukee.

    Durant ended just one assist away from recording what would've been his second double-double over the last four games, but it's worth noting the veteran forward seems to be embracing a bigger role as a playmaker. Durant has dished out at least eight assists in four of his last five games, averaging 24.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.2 dimes per game over that stretch. An uptick in assists would be huge for Durant, as he's already a productive, proven scorer who shoots at a high clip.

  • Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Strikes for team-high 28 in loss

    Sensabaugh contributed 28 points (11-18 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Nuggets.

    The 28 points led the Jazz on the night. Sensabaugh has scored more than 20 points in eight of 10 games since moving back into the starting five March 9, averaging 25.3 points, 3.8 boards, 3.6 threes, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals over that span while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Bruce Brown SG | DEN

    Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Big night on defense against Jazz

    Brown ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-117 win over Utah.

    The four steals tied his season high, while the five combined stocks established a new high-water mark in 2025-26 for Brown. The 29-year-old guard has been a useful part of the second unit in his second tour with the Nuggets, scoring in double digits in six of the last 10 games while averaging 9.8 points, 3.2 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.8 steals over 21.6 minutes.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Comes close to double-double

    Sengun closed with 25 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 win over Milwaukee.

    Sengun briefly left Wednesday's game in the fourth quarter but returned quickly and was remarkably efficient. He delivered one of his best performances of the season in terms of his shooting numbers, but he also ended just one board shy of a double-double while filling the stat sheet. Sengun has been putting up excellent numbers since returning from a two-game absence in mid-March due to a back injury, averaging 23.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last nine appearances.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Chips in 18 in Wednesday's win

    Braun recorded 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 victory over the Jazz.

    It was Braun's best scoring effort since March 18, when he dropped 26 points on the Grizzlies. The fourth-year wing has also seen his defensive contributions evaporate of late. He hasn't produced a steal since that contest, averaging 12.4 points, 3.9 boards, 1.9 assists and 0.9 threes over the last seven games.

  • Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Just misses double-double Wednesday

    Johnson ended with 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 win over the Jazz.

    The veteran forward fell one board short of his second double-double of the season, with the first coming way back on Dec. 18 against the Magic. Johnson has scored in double digits in 10 of the last 12 games, averaging 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 threes, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals over that span while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor and 48.6 percent from downtown.
