  • Rob Dillingham PG | CHI

    Bulls' Rob Dillingham: Nets career-high 26 points in win

    Dillingham racked up 26 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 victory over the Wizards.

    Dillingham finished with a plus-24 differential in the blowout win and notched new career highs in points, rebounds and triples. The second-year guard will have a chance at an encore performance in Thursday's rematch with Washington.

  • Tre Jones PG | CHI

    Bulls' Tre Jones: Nets 20 points with nine dimes

    Jones closed Tuesday's 129-98 win over the Wizards with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 27 minutes.

    Jones did an impressive job of running Chicago's offense, and he likely would have had an even bigger stat line if the game weren't such a blowout. Jones has really stepped it up over the past 10 games, during which he has averaged 19.0 points, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals per contest, which has him flirting with top-65 value in fantasy leagues.

  • Collin Sexton SG | CHI

    Bulls' Collin Sexton: Scores 15 points with four swipes

    Sexton recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and four steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 victory over the Wizards.

    Sexton ripped away two steals within his first five minutes of play, and he finished with a season-high four swipes in the blowout win. He'll have another chance to take advantage of the Wizards' lackadaisical play in a rematch with Washington on Thursday.

  • Scottie Barnes PF | TOR

    Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Busts out of shooting funk

    Barnes racked up 25 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Heat.

    Barnes shook off his shooting slump Tuesday, delivering a breakout performance that lifted the Raptors back into the No. 6 seed in the East. He'll look to keep that momentum rolling in Thursday's rematch with Miami.

  • Jaylen Brown SF | BOS

    Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Paces Boston in win

    Brown supplied 35 points (13-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 43 minutes in Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets.

    Brown didn't deliver his most efficient performance but still recorded a team-best 35 points, reaching the 25-point mark for a 10th straight appearance. The star forward also pulled down a team-high nine rebounds and tallied two combined steals-plus-blocks for a third consecutive contest. Over his last five outings, Brown has averaged 31.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest.

  • Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Erupts for career-high 40 points

    Fears popped off for 40 points (17-29 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 156-137 win over the Jazz.

    Fears not only set a new career high in scoring, but he also established the Pelicans' single-game rookie scoring record in the blowout win. He became just the fifth rookie in the past decade to post a 40-5-5 line, and he only committed two turnovers in his 38 minutes of floor time.

  • John Konchar SG | UTA

    Jazz's John Konchar: Rare triple-double in loss

    Konchar chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 156-137 loss to the Pelicans.

    With Ace Bailey (knee) joining a significant number of Jazz players on the inactive list, Konchar tied his season high in playing time and made the most of his increased minutes. The 30-year-old forward led all players in assists and grabbed a team-best 10 boards, recording his second career triple-double -- his first came with Memphis on April 10, 2022. He also tallied multiple steals for a fourth straight game.

  • Ajay Mitchell PG | OKC

    Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Starting sans Williams

    Mitchell will start Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

    With Jalen Williams (hamstring) sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set, Mitchell will rejoin the first unit. As a starter this season (15 games), the 23-year-old guard has averaged 15.3 points, 3.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 28.9 minutes per tilt.

  • Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Starting Tuesday

    Powell is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Powell is starting in place of Daniel Gafford (shoulder) on Tuesday. As a starter this season, Powell has averaged 5.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.

  • Drew Timme PF | LAL

    Lakers' Drew Timme: Starting vs. OKC

    Timme will start Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The Lakers will be without multiple key contributors Tuesday, opening the door for Timme to make his first start of the season. He's averaging 3.1 points in 8.1 minutes per contest across 23 regular-season games, though he'll likely see a significant bump in minutes against the Thunder.
