Bane recorded 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes during the Magic's 113-108 loss to the Rockets on Thursday.

Bane helped the Magic build a large lead with 17 points in the first half, but his scoring efforts weren't enough to hold off the Rockets' comeback that started in the third quarter. It was Bane's 10th 30-plus point performance of the season -- four of which have come in his last six games -- and the fourth time he connected on at least six three-pointers. Since the All-Star break, Bane has averaged 27.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.8 steals over 35.5 minutes per game while connecting on 61.9 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Oubre had 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 victory over the Heat.

Oubre was limited to just 12 points during Tuesday's win over the Pacers, but he was more aggressive with his shot selection Thursday evening and hit some key buckets down the stretch to help deliver the win for Philly. Oubre finished with a team-best plus-12 differential and played a pivotal role in the 76ers' first win over the Heat since 2024.

Edgecombe amassed 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

Edgecombe has been dialed in over the past two games, scoring efficiently, crashing the glass and wreaking havoc on defense. He's gone 17-for-25 from the floor over the torrid two-game stretch while ripping away a total of four steals. The rookie will look to keep the good times rolling Sunday in Boston.

Maxey closed with 28 points (9-26 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, one block and five steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

Maxey was locked in from the jump, dropping in five triples through the first quarter of play, as he moved past Allen Iverson to become the 76ers' new all-time leader in three-point makes. This was Maxey's seventh double-double of the season and his third game with at least five steals. He'll look to keep his foot on the gas pedal Sunday in Boston.

Bagley went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Kings due to a head injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Bagley appeared to take a knee to the head, resulting in his prompt departure from the game. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Embiid produced 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

Embiid got kneed in the ribs early in the game, and while he played through it, he could be seen grimacing throughout the match. The good news is that the 76ers don't play again until Sunday versus the Celtics, so Embiid will have a full two days to rest up. However, if the big man does need to hit the sidelines Sunday, that would give Andre Drummond a chance to get back into the rotation.

Herro supplied 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to Philadelphia.

This was the most minutes, points, triples and assists that Herro has had since coming back from a rib injury, so it'll be interesting to see if he finally returns to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Pelle Larsson finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers across 33 minutes in the defeat.

Adebayo notched 29 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to the 76ers.

Adebayo was hot to start Thursday's game, and he secured his double-double by halftime. The 28-year-old center has been heating up in February with averages of 20.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.1 steals per game.

Durant logged 40 points (14-28 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 40 minutes during the Rockets' 113-108 win over the Magic on Thursday.

It was a vintage performance out of the 37-year-old future Hall of Famer, who scored 26 of his game-high 40 points in the second half to propel the Rockets to a come-from-behind victory. Durant's scoring barrage moved him up to 32,006 points in his storied NBA career, and he is within striking distance of passing Michael Jordan (32,292 points) for the fifth-most points in league history. It was also Durant's 431rd career game with 30-plus points, which is tied with Kobe Bryant for fifth most all time. In five games since the All-Star break, Durant has averaged 28.8 points on 53.0 percent shooting along with 6.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.8 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over 35.2 minutes per game.

Knueppel ended with 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-12 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Pacers.

Knueppel put on a shooting display Thursday evening and tied the best mark of his young NBA career by knocking down eight threes, which is something he also accomplished Jan. 29 against Dallas. Following this impressive performance from deep, the Duke product now holds the NBA record for most made threes in a season by a rookie with 207. Knueppel has put up 20-plus points in four straight games and has shown no sign of slowing down.
