    Hornets' Miles Bridges: Big double-double against Cavs

    Bridges logged 20 points (7-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 119-111 overtime win over the Cavaliers.

    The double-double was the third of the season for Bridges, and his first since Nov. 7. The 27-year-old forward has scored at least 20 points in three straight games and 11 of the last 17, averaging 21.7 points, 5.9 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.2 combined steals and blocks over that latter stretch.

  • Kon Knueppel SG | CHA

    Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Pops for game-high 29 in OT win

    Knueppel registered 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 44 minutes during Sunday's 119-111 overtime win over the Cavaliers.

    The rookie wing led all scorers on the afternoon as he topped 20 points for the third time in the last four games. Knueppel is seeing significant usage for the injury-plagued Hornets, scoring in double digits in 12 of the last 13 contests and averaging 21.0 points, 4.8 boards, 4.1 assists, 3.8 threes and 0.8 steals in 35.3 minutes over that stretch.

  • Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Double-double off bench Sunday

    Jackson finished Sunday's 108-89 loss to the Wizards with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks in 23 minutes off the bench.

    It's the fifth double-double of the season for the fifth-year center, and second in the last eight games since moving back to the second unit in late November. During that span, Jackson's averaging 7.6 points, 6.6 boards, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in just 18.0 minutes a contest while backing up Jay Huff in the paint.

  • Royce O'Neale PF | PHO

    Suns' Royce O'Neale: Headed to bench

    O'Neale will come off the bench for Sunday's game versus the Lakers.

    Devin Booker (groin) is back, so O'Neale will return to the second unit. As a reserve this season, O'Neale has posted averages of 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.0 triples and 1.3 steals per game in 28.6 minutes a night.

  • Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Modest numbers in Sunday's loss

    Mathurin amassed 15 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 loss to the Wizards.

    The 15 points actually led the Pacers on an afternoon when the team shot a miserable 36.9 percent from the floor and 25.6 percent from three-point range. Mathurin has scored at least 15 points in 10 of 13 games since returning from a toe sprain in mid-November, averaging 18.4 points, 5.2 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch.

  • Kyshawn George SF | WAS

    Wizards' Kyshawn George: Teases triple-double Sunday

    George totaled nine points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over the Pacers.

    The assists tied his season high, as George came close to his first career triple-double. The second-year wing is still searching for some consistency, but his production has taken a big step forward from his rookie campaign. Over his last 12 games, George is averaging 14.1 points, 5.7 boards, 5.5 assists, 2.5 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.3 minutes.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Double-double in Sunday's win

    Champagnie recorded 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over the Pacers.

    The double-double was his first of the season, as Champagnie made his third straight start in an Wizards' injury-ravaged frontcourt that was missing four rotation regulars Sunday. The 33 minutes were also a season high for Champagnie, and he's in line for a significant workload as long as Khris Middleton (knee), Bilal Coulibaly (oblique), Alex Sarr (thigh) and Corey Kispert (thumb) remain sidelined. Champagnie has scored in double digits in four of the last six games (four starts), averaging 10.7 points, 8.0 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.2 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.5 minutes over that stretch.

  • Yang Hansen C | POR

    Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Cleared to play Sunday

    Hansen (face) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

    Hansen didn't play in Thursday's loss to the Pelicans due to a face injury, but the rookie first-rounder has been cleared to play Sunday. He started in his last outing, but he'll likely come off the bench due to the returns of Donovan Clingan (lower leg) and Robert Williams (illness).

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Will play Sunday

    Clingan (leg) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

    Clingan is set to return from a three-game absence, which could result in Jerami Grant heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Robert Williams, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Good to go Sunday

    Williams (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

    The Trail Blazers are getting some reinforcements for their frontcourt Sunday with Williams returning from a three-game absence. Donovan Clingan (leg) is also good to go, so Williams will likely reprise his role as the backup center.
