Konchar ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 120-117 loss to the Magic.

Cleared to make his Jazz debut after he was acquired from the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Konchar was part of the team's initial 10-man rotation to open the first half of Saturday's contest. The defensive-minded wing produced well during his time on the court, but Konchar's minutes could still remain volatile over the final few months of the season. The Jazz are clearly prioritizing player development over wins, and the 29-year-old Konchar may not be part of the club's long-term plans, so it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually fell out of the rotation.

Green (hip/hamstring) logged eight points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists and three rebounds over 17 minutes during the Suns' 109-103 loss to the 76ers on Saturday.

Green was cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a left hip contusion and right hamstring and hip injury management, making what was just his sixth appearance of the 2025-26 regular season. Given the extensive time he's missed over the last few months, the fifth-year guard will likely continue to come off the bench for the foreseeable future and will have his minutes monitored while he rebuilds his conditioning. The Suns' last two games before the All-Star break will be part of a back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday versus the Mavericks and Thunder, respectively, and Green will be a candidate to sit out one of those contests.

Spencer accumulated 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 loss to the Lakers.

After signing a standard contract with the team for the rest of the season, Spencer could be in line for games like this on a consistent basis. Over his last three games, he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.7 made threes . While Stephen Curry recovers from a knee injury, Spencer could assume lead backcourt duties for Golden State.

Williams (lower leg) totaled 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Williams was cleared to return Saturday following a two-game absence due to a right lower leg contusion. He came out firing with nine points in the first quarter and finished as the Mavericks' second-leading scorer behind Klay Thompson (19 points). Williams has scored at least 15 points in eight of his last 10 outings (two starts), and he has averaged 16.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 21.7 minutes per game over that span.

Moody logged 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 loss to the Lakers.

Moody led the Warriors in a losing effort against the Lakers. With Stephen Curry sidelined by a knee injury, Moody filled the void of outside shooting by hitting five shots from distance. The former lottery pick also had a block and three steals in 39 minutes, and he should continue to see expanded usage as long as Curry is sidelined.

Washington (concussion) accumulated 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Washington was cleared to return Saturday following a two-game absence while in the league's concussion protocol. He came off the bench in his return and reached double-digit points for the fourth time in his last six outings. Washington could be back in the Mavericks' starting lineup for the team's next contest Tuesday versus the Suns, which would likely result in Caleb Martin moving to a bench role.

Thompson chipped in 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Thompson did most of his damage in the second quarter, when he scored 16 points while going 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. It was the 16th time this season that Thompson connected on at least four three-pointers, and his 19 points were his most in a game since Jan. 17 against the Jazz (23). Since the new year, Thompson has averaged 12.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 3.2 threes over 22.1 minutes per game.

Hachimura totaled 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 28 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 victory over Golden State.

Hachimura was a big part of the Lakers offense in a win over Golden State. Four made threes ties a season high for Hachimura, who got the starting nod in the absence of Luka Doncic, who's nursing a hamstring injury. Los Angeles has three more games before the All-Star break.

Bagley contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Bagley was cleared to make his Mavericks debut Saturday, when he served as Daniel Gafford's backup. Bagley provided Dallas a nice spark off the bench, logging his fourth double-double of the season while recording a game-high four blocks. He should continue to serve as the first big off the Mavericks' bench ahead of Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell.

Vanderbilt ended Saturday's 105-99 win over Golden State with 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 19 minutes.

Saturday marked Vanderbilt's fourth game this season with multiple threes. He also grabbed eight rebounds and forced some turnovers on defense. The Lakers rotation has fluctuated all season long, so a few more strong showings could lead to Vanderbilt's role expanding.
