Jerome generated 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block across 25 minutes of Wednesday's 125-118 win over Denver.

Jerome was highly efficient Wednesday and knocked on the door of his first career triple-double. The 28-year-old guard turned the ball over just once as well. While he hasn't played more than 25 minutes in a game this season, Jerome has been an excellent fantasy producer, averaging 20.2 points, 5.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 13 games played.

Dosunmu recorded 23 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 147-111 blowout win over the Jazz.

Dosunmu has been heating up over the past four games, and he's seen more minutes and playmaking opportunities with Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined. Dosunmu has been delivering top-60 value over that stretch with averages of 18.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.5 triples per contest.

Sensabaugh generated 41 points (17-31 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes of Wednesday's 147-111 loss to Minnesota.

The blowout loss didn't prevent Sensabaugh from a big points total, as the score-first wing hit the 40-point milestone for the second time in his career (both this season). Sensabaugh accounted for nearly 37 percent of Utah's points and exactly one-third of the team's shot attempts. With several key contributors sidelined due to injury, Sensabaugh looks to have the ultimate green light. In his last 14 games, Sensabaugh is averaging 20.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 26.5 minutes.

Murphy generated 23 points (7-17 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 40 minutes of Wednesday's 124-109 win over the Clippers.

Murphy had a strong all-around performance, racking up multiple steals for the seventh time in the last nine games and posting at least five rebounds and five assists for a third straight outing. The 25-year-old is averaging career highs in points (21.9), rebounds (5.7), assists (3.9) and steals (1.6) across 61 appearances this season.

Leonard produced 25 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Pelicans.

While Leonard scored efficiently, he finished with more turnovers (four) than assists (one) and posted a minus-10 differential in the blowout loss. The Clippers have now dropped three straight but will look to bounce back in Thursday's rematch with New Orleans.

Clingan generated 28 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes of Wednesday's 127-119 win over Indiana.

Clingan topped his previous season high in points of 24 despite playing merely 25 minutes. The second-year center also hit three three-pointers for just the seventh time this season. He's now double-doubled in five consecutive games, averaging 17.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.0 steals across 27.7 minutes during that stretch.

Avdija racked up 32 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-119 victory over the Pacers.

While Avdija didn't have his most efficient game from the floor, he did a nice job of drawing contact and getting to the line for easy buckets. This marked his highest point total and most free-throw attempts since returning from a back issue, a sign he's beginning to find his rhythm again.

Zubac left Wednesday's 127-119 loss to Portland with 10:44 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a head contusion and didn't return. He finished with 18 points (7-18 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 23 minutes.

Zubac was struck in the face and was labeled questionable to return to the contest, but he remained on the bench the rest of the way. Per Tony East of Forbes.com, Zubac said after the game that he's not following concussion protocol, which is an encouraging sign. Zubac will have a few days to recover before Indiana returns to action Saturday in San Antonio.

Wilson logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds over 19 minutes during the Nets' 121-92 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.

The Nets tied a franchise record for the lowest first-half scoring total with 24 points, and with the Thunder leading by as many as 42 points, that led to both teams leaning on their reserves more. Wilson scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half and ended up leading Brooklyn in that category. He didn't play in coach's decisions in either of the Nets' previous two contests, so despite his solid showing Wednesday, Wilson can't be relied upon to remain in the rotation for Brooklyn's next game Friday versus the Knicks.

Johnson recorded 12 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during the Nets' 121-92 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.

The Thunder led by as many as 42 points during Wednesday's game, which prompted both teams to empty the bench in the fourth quarter. That gave Johnson the opportunity for an extended run, and the undrafted rookie out of Auburn capitalized by scoring 10 points in the second half while connecting on all four of his field-goal attempts. He has scored in double digits in back-to-back games and could see more playing time moving forward if Noah Clowney were to miss time, as the latter left in the first quarter of Wednesday's game due to a right wrist sprain.
