  • Evan Mobley PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Double-doubles in win

    Mobley provided 27 points (12-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 123-116 win over the Bucks.

    The star big man tied James Harden for the game high in points, with Mobley reaching the 20-point threshold for a second time in the last three games. The 24-year-old also grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, securing his second consecutive double-double and fourth on the month. Additionally, the 2024-25 Defensive Player of the Year posted a game-high three blocks, swatting multiple shots for the fifth time in the last six games.

  • Noah Penda SF | ORL

    Magic's Noah Penda: Sees drop in minutes Tuesday

    Penda attempted zero field goals while recording two rebounds, one assist and one steal over seven minutes during the Magic's 113-108 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

    Despite the small amount of playing time, Penda's minus-16 point differential was second worst on the Magic behind Jett Howard (minus-23), and the former sat on the bench for the entire second half. It wasn't a great sign for Penda, who entered Tuesday's game averaging 17.0 minutes per game since March 3. The rookie second-rounder should still see some playing time off the bench for as long as Jonathan Isaac (knee), Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (abdomen) are sidelined, but Penda's lack of playing time in the second half is worth monitoring.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-doubles vs. Orlando

    Holmgren finished Tuesday's 113-108 win over the Magic with 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 33 minutes.

    Holmgren led the Thunder in rebounds Tuesday while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (40 points). It was Holmgren's 22nd double-double of the season, which is tied with Kel'el Ware for 17th in the NBA. Holmgren has averaged 19.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 blocks over 29.9 minutes per game since March 1.

  • LaMelo Ball PG | CHA

    Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Paces Charlotte in blowout win

    Ball supplied 30 points (11-22 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 assists, six rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat.

    After putting up just 13 field-goal attempts in Saturday's loss to the Spurs, Ball was far more aggressive hunting his shot in this one. The star point guard turned in an efficient outing from the field and led Charlotte in scoring, reaching the 30-point threshold for the second time in the last three games. He also chipped in double-digit assists for the first time since Jan. 24 after totaling 11 dimes over the Hornets' previous three contests entering Tuesday. Ball has racked up seven double-doubles and a triple-double across 59 regular-season appearances, scoring 30 or more points on seven occasions this season.

  • Jalen Suggs SG | ORL

    Magic's Jalen Suggs: All-around game vs. OKC

    Suggs logged 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes during the Magic's 113-108 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

    Suggs finished Tuesday's game as the Magic's leader in assists and third in scoring behind Paolo Banchero (32 points) and Desmond Bane (16 points). It was the eighth time this season that Suggs connected on at least four three-pointers, and that is an encouraging sign seeing as he was connecting on just 22.2 percent of his three-point attempts (on 6.8 3PA/G) over his four prior outings. The fifth-year guard has averaged 15.1 points, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 threes and 1.6 steals over 29.9 minutes per game since March 1.

  • Paolo Banchero PF | ORL

    Magic's Paolo Banchero: Double-double not enough vs. OKC

    Banchero finished with 32 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3PT, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 36 minutes in Tuesday's 113-108 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Banchero helped the Magic keep pace with the Thunder on Tuesday, particularly out of halftime with 15 points in the third quarter. He has recorded three double-doubles over his last four games and has logged 24 for the year, which is tied with Ivica Zubac for 14th in the Association. Banchero has averaged 25.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 threes over 35.6 minutes per game since March 1.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Enjoys big night vs. Pacers

    Hart produced 33 points (12-13 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 victory over Indiana.

    Hart posted his first 30-point performance of the 2025-26 campaign, and he needed only 26 minutes to do so with the help of an incredible shooting performance. The 31-year-old oozed confidence on the offensive end, where he went a perfect 5-for-5 from deep and missed only one shot from the field. Hart provided more than enough firepower in the absence of Jalen Brunson, who was held out Tuesday due to right ankle injury management and a cervical strain.

  • Moussa Diabate PF | CHA

    Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Leaves early with hand injury

    Diabate exited Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat with 4:19 remaining in the fourth quarter after suffering an apparent left hand injury, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He finished with eight points (4-6 FG), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 31 minutes.

    Diabate bounced back following a four-point, five-rebound performance during Saturday's loss to San Antonio, though he seemingly picked up a hand injury late in the contest. The Hornets were up by 28 points at the time of Diabate's departure, so while it's possible that he was lifted early as a precaution, his status will still be worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's game against the Magic. If Diabate is forced to miss time, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely move into the starting five.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Powers Detroit to victory

    Duren tallied 36 points (13-17 FG, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over Washington.

    Cade Cunningham (back) exited to the locker room in the first quarter and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the night, and it was Duren who stepped up in a big way. He secured his fourth straight double-double and focused on getting to the charity stripe, attempting double-digit free throws for the third time in nine March outings. It doesn't look as though Cunningham will miss much time if any, but it was promising to see Duren take command on a night when Detroit was forced to play without its star point guard.

  • Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Massive third quarter vs. Orlando

    Gilgeous-Alexander logged 40 points (14-27 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals over 36 minutes during the Thunder's 113-108 win over the Magic on Tuesday.

    It was another scoring clinic from the reigning MVP, who scored 19 of his game-high 40 points in the third quarter to give the Thunder a six-point advantage heading into the final frame. He also contributed defensively with four steals, tying a season high that he reached three times prior to Tuesday's game. It was the sixth 40-plus-point performance for Gilgeous-Alexander this season and the first since Jan. 23 against the Pacers. Since returning from a nine-game absence in late February due to an abdominal strain, he has averaged 31.1 points on 51.8 percent shooting along with 7.9 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 threes, 2.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over 35.6 minutes per game.
