    Warriors' Gui Santos: Season-high five threes Thursday

    Santos accumulated 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Celtics.

    The third-year forward set a new season high in made three-pointers. Santos has started all six of the Warriors' games in February, averaging 14.7 points, 5.5 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.8 steals in 30.0 minutes while shooting 54.0 percent from the floor and 43.3 percent from long range, but with Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) making his Golden State debut Thursday off the bench, it won't be long before the two switch roles.

  • Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Paces shorthanded Warriors in loss

    Melton finished with 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Celtics.

    The 18 points led Golden State on the night, and Melton was one of seven Warriors to reach double digits as the home side went with a balanced attack in the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). Melton has started five straight games with Curry sidelined but hasn't played more than 25 minutes in any of them, averaging 13.4 points, 2.4 assists, 2.2 boards, 2.0 threes and 1,8 steals.

  • Bruce Brown SG | DEN

    Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Compiles 19 points from bench

    Brown chipped in 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

    Although Brown is too inconsistent for consideration in most fantasy formats, he's averaged 27.6 minutes per game this month. He's had ample opportunity to post the occasional high number due to all of Denver's injury concerns recently. Thursday's result tied his best point total of the season and marked his fifth double-digit scoring total over his past six games.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Logs 22/17 double-double in loss

    Jokic chipped in 22 points (9-22 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 17 rebounds and six assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

    Jokic snapped a four-game triple-double streak in the defeat, but his 17 rebounds marked Jokic's best total off the glass since his 21-rebound effort against the Magic in late December. Although Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) remain sidelined, the rest of Jokic's supporting cast is fully healthy and ready to make a playoff push. The All-Star's prolific results should continue in Friday's back-to-back against the Trail Blazers.

  • Sam Hauser SF | BOS

    Celtics' Sam Hauser: Drains four treys against Warriors

    Hauser ended Thursday's 121-110 win over Golden State with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes.

    The fifth-year forward put together his best scoring effort since Jan. 23 with an efficient night from long distance. Hauser has drained multiple three-pointers in 17 of 19 appearances since moving into the starting five in early January, averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.1 combined steals and blocks in 28.3 minutes a game over that stretch.

  • Derrick White SG | BOS

    Celtics' Derrick White: Makes impact on defense Thursday

    White finished Thursday's 121-110 win over the Warriors with 10 points (4-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and one steal over 39 minutes.

    The veteran guard failed to drain at least one three-pointer for the first time since Jan. 19, but White otherwise made an impact at both ends of the court. He's dished at least eight assists in five of seven games in February, averaging 16.4 points, 7.1 assists, 3.3 boards, 2.7 threes, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals on the month.

  • Jamal Murray PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Botches game-tying free throw

    Murray totaled 20 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

    Murray had a serviceable night against the Clippers, but he failed to make a game-tying free throw as time expired. He drew a foul beyond the arc with seconds remaining and nailed the first two free throws, but he couldn't send the team into overtime. Despite dealing with a nagging hip injury, Murray has averaged 24.4 points, 9.0 assists and 5.1 rebounds in February.

  • Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Pours in game-high 26 in win

    Pritchard racked up 26 points (10-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 121-110 win over Golden State.

    The 28-year-old guard led all scorers on the night as he picked up right where he left off prior to the All-Star break. Pritchard has scored at least 24 points in five of his last six games since shifting to the second unit Feb. 3, averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 assists, 3.5 boards, 3.5 threes and 1.0 steals during that span while shooting 52.0 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Clippers' Derrick Jones: Posts 22 points in narrow win

    Jones posted 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 win over Denver.

    Although Bennedict Mathurin's 38-point result was the biggest headline for the Clippers, Jones proved to be a valuable piece of the puzzle as the team moves forward without James Harden's services. Kris Dunn lacks the necessary production to fill the scoring gap at point guard, so the Clippers will lean more on Jones and Mathurin while Kawhi Leonard takes the reins on offense. Jones is currently averaging a career-high 10.5 points per game this season, and that number could continue to rise due to the Clippers' needs on offense.

  • John Collins PF | LAC

    Clippers' John Collins: Records third double-double

    Collins recorded 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 win over Denver.

    Collins' rebound numbers have prevented him from reaching the double-double milestone consistently this season. His current 2025-26 average of 5.2 rebounds per game marks his lowest in the category by a wide margin. There's a chance that Ivica Zubac's departure could give his results a slight boost, but Brook Lopez and Derrick Jones have fared well off the glass and could hinder Collins' chance for improvement.
