Jonathan Mogbo PF | TOR
Raptors' Jonathan Mogbo: Back with parent club
The Raptors recalled Mogbo from the G League's Raptors 905 on Thursday.
Mogbo won't stick around with the 905 ahead of their game Thursday against the Cleveland Charge and will instead return to the parent club as it heads into the All-Star break. Though he's not signed to a two-way deal, Mogbo will likely have more G League assignments in his future over the rest of the season since he's been unable to capture a consistent rotation role with Toronto. Over his 23 appearances at the NBA level this season, Mogbo is averaging 1.3 points and 1.6 rebounds in 6.0 minutes.

With Charlotte's starting frontcourt of Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate suspended after Monday's brawl with Detroit, Hall saw the court in an NBA game for the first time since Jan. 8 and produced his first career double-double. Diabate and Bridges will be sidelined until Feb. 24, giving Hall three chances to try and repeat Wednesday's performance.

The third-year forward stepped up for the Hornets with Miles Bridges (suspension) unavailable, delivering his best scoring effort since he dropped 33 points on the Warriors on New Year's Eve. Miller has produced 30-plus points four times in total this season, and he's scored in double digits in 17 straight contests, averaging 22.1 points, 5.4 boards, 3.3 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.2 steals over that span.

With Dyson Daniels back in action Wednesday, McCollum returned to the second unit and produced a new season high in assists. Through 16 games (two starts) with the Hawks, the 34-year-old guard is averaging 18.7 points, 3.5 assists, 3.1 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 28.4 minutes.

The 25-year-old center scored in the teens with multiple made three-pointers in a third straight game since returning from dental surgery, and his seventh straight appearance overall. During that latter stretch, Okongwu is averaging 17.1 points, 6.3 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 48.8 percent from long range.

Dyson Daniels SG | ATL
Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Drops team-high 21 in Charlotte
Daniels produced 21 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to the Hornets.
After sitting out Monday's game in Minnesota due to a sore ankle, Daniels returned to action and led the Hawks in scoring. The fourth-year guard has been inconsistent of late, scoring in double digits in only five of his last 10 games while averaging 10.5 points, 6.2 assists, 5.6 boards and 1.4 steals, and he continues to struggle from three-point range. Daniels is shooting just 27.3 percent (3-for-11) over that stretch from beyond the arc, and a woeful 13.3 percent on the season.
