Doncic recorded 41 points (12-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.

Doncic did all he could to propel LA to a victory, but it wasn't quite enough to get the job done. This was an efficient scoring performance from the 26-year-old, who needed only 21 attempts from the field to reach the 40-point threshold. Doncic is averaging 31.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.3 steals over his last four showings.

Reid (undisclosed) checked in during the third quarter of Thursday's game against Los Angeles, per the television broadcast.

Reid was spotted back on the bench at the end of the second quarter, and he checked back into the matchup with 7:19 remaining in the third period. He shouldn't face any kind of restriction in the second half.

Richards recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Thursday's 121-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Richards provided solid contributions off the bench and secured his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign in the process. The big man saw an uptick in playing time Thursday with Jalen Smith (calf) sidelined, and that trend should continue with Smith ruled out for at least the next week.

Buzelis supplied 20 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 121-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Buzelis put together another strong showing offensively and led the Bulls in scoring, but it wasn't enough to prevent Chicago from dropping another game. The second-year forward has been one of the few bright spots for the Bulls lately, as the team now owns an 0-11 record in February. Buzelis should continue to see opportunities to shine in the starting lineup.

Williams had 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 121-112 win over Chicago.

Williams' status was a question mark leading up to tipoff, but he was ultimately cleared to play and turned in a strong showing. He scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 6 and secured his first double-double since Feb. 1, as he saw more opportunities in the frontcourt without Donovan Clingan (illness). However, Williams is unlikely to see this kind of playing time when Clingan is healthy.

Grant closed Thursday's 121-112 victory over Chicago with 27 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 12-14 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes.

Grant enjoyed an efficient performance on the offensive end, and he did nearly half of his damage from the charity stripe. He's put up 20-plus points in three straight contests and was relied on more heavily Thursday with Donovan Clingan (illness) and Deni Avdija (back) sidelined.

Reid went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Clippers with an undisclosed injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Reid managed to remain in the game immediately after taking a hard fall, but he was later spotted walking to the locker room. He'll be considered questionable to return until the team has more information on the severity of his injury.

Riley logged 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-96 loss to the Hawks.

Riley drew the third start of his NBA career Thursday, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. He was one of four Washington players to score 14 points, and he paced the Wizards with 10 rebounds. However, Riley will presumably relinquish his starting role once Kyshawn George (knee) is cleared to return, which could come as early as Saturday against Toronto.

Daniels accumulated 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, 11 assists, one block and five steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 126-96 victory over Washington.

Daniels dished out double-digit assists for the sixth time this season on the way to a rare double-double for the 22-year-old. It was reassuring to see him score in double figures for the first time in a week, though he's proven on a nightly basis that he's able to contribute in other categories even when his shot isn't falling.

McCollum ended with 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 126-96 win over the Wizards.

McCollum turned in a strong offensive showing after being held to eight points in 23 minutes Tuesday night against the Wizards. He's started three straight matchups for the Hawks after a brief stint on the bench, though he's been relatively consistent in either role of late, averaging 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists over his last six outings.
