  • Kon Knueppel SF | CHA

    Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Becomes 1st to 200 threes

    Knueppel finished Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls with 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 23 minutes.

    Knueppel's remarkable rookie campaign continues as the 2025 No. 4 overall pick became the first player to reach 200 made threes this season. He was very efficient from the field on his way to 21 points in only 23 minutes. He's averaging 27.3 points per game over his last three. Knueppel has now made more than one triple in nine consecutive games, recording at least one steal in five straight as well.

  • Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Double-doubles in loss

    Podziemski had 16 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Pelicans.

    For the second straight game, Podziemski pulled down 15 rebounds, matching his career-best mark. He continues to step up for the shorthanded Warriors, and his fantasy upside is trending up while Stephen Curry continues to nurse his knee injury.

  • Brandon Miller SG | CHA

    Hornets' Brandon Miller: Dialed in from deep

    Miller ended with 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 victory over the Bulls.

    Miller sank five threes for the second consecutive game as the Hornets continue to build momentum. He's made at least four threes in five of his last six outings, averaging 22.5 points over that stretch. Miller also made an impact defensively against Chicago with a block and two steals in the blowout win.

  • Gui Santos SF | GS

    Warriors' Gui Santos: Terrific line in loss

    Santos produced 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Pelicans.

    Santos continues to step up in a big way for the Warriors. Over his last seven games, he's returning top-50 value in nine-category formats with 15.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 31.6 minutes per contest.

  • Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Erupts for 28 points

    Melton (knee) notched 28 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Pelicans.

    Melton went off for a season-high 28 points, but it wasn't enough as the Warriors dropped to 30-28 on the season. He's taking advantage of a usage-rate bump in the absence of Stephen Curry, but Melton may be rested for the second leg of this back-to-back set Wednesday against Memphis.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Fares well in debut

    Murray (Achilles) provided 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Warriors.

    Playing in his first game since Jan. 31, 2025 after completing his recovery from surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon, Murray stepped right into the starting five and delivered a fine performance, taking into account how much time he missed. Heading into Tuesday, interim head coach James Borrego told Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network that he had a plan regarding how much playing time Murray would receive, and the point guard's restriction ended up being 25 minutes. The Pelicans will likely proceed cautiously with ramping Murray up and are expected to hold him out for one half of future back-to-back sets, but it may take the 29-year-old just a few more games before he's consistently playing over 30 minutes.

  • Knicks' Landry Shamet: Limited impact in loss

    Shamet totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 109-94 loss to Cleveland.

    Shamet has been pretty solid for the most part in recent weeks, so this was just a small bump in the road. Over his last nine games, he's averaging 10.8 points, 2.2 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in 27.1 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Double-double in Tuesday's loss

    Ayton chipped in 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 loss to Orlando.

    The double-double was his 18th of the season, but his first in February as he tries to get past a nagging knee issue. Through seven appearances on the month, Ayton is averaging just 10.6 points, 8.0 boards, 0.9 assists and 1.2 combined blocks and steals in 27.7 minutes a contest, but Tuesday's performance is an encouraging sign that he could be close to 100 percent healthy.

  • LeBron James SF | LAL

    Lakers' LeBron James: Hits for 21 against Orlando

    James accumulated 21 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 loss to the Magic.

    The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer missed a three-point attempt at the buzzer, but it was still another productive performance for James. He's scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 20.8 points, 8.1 assists, 5.1 boards, 1.2 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch.

  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Just misses triple-double in loss

    Doncic finished Tuesday's 110-109 loss to the Magic with 22 points (8-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-9 FT), nine rebounds, 15 assists and one block in 38 minutes.

    The 26-year-old superstar came one board shy of his seventh triple-double of the season. Doncic has come flying out of the All-Star break after sitting out the four contests prior to the break with a hamstring strain, averaging 28.3 points, 9.7 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last three games.
