  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Triggers one-game suspension

    Doncic finished Saturday's 105-04 win over the Magic with 33 points (12-30 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, four steals and one block in 38 minutes. He was issued his 16th technical foul of the season with 1:19 remaining in the third quarter, triggering an automatic one-game suspension.

    Doncic put together another impressive stat line Saturday, albeit with poor shooting from the field and the free-throw line. Rather than his production, however, Doncic's 16th technical foul is the bigger headline from the night. Barring a successful appeal to have the technical foul rescinded, Doncic is now set to miss Monday's game in Detroit in what will be a costly blow to managers who are relying on the star guard for the fantasy playoffs.

  • James Harden PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' James Harden: Stuffs stat sheet again

    Harden generated 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt), 10 assists, six rebounds, one steal and one block across 36 minutes of Saturday's 111-106 win over the Pelicans.

    After posting 36 points, seven rebounds and nine assists his last time out, Harden delivered a double-double Saturday. The veteran guard's scoring has taken a significant hit since being traded to Cleveland, as he's averaging just 20.9 points per game with the Cavs, but he's been able to replicate his assist production and improve his rebounding. In total, Harden is averaging 24.1 points, 8.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds across 61 appearances this season.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Heads to locker room

    Gafford went back to the locker room during Saturday's game against the Clippers for undisclosed reasons, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    It's unclear what caused Gafford to exit the game, but it's not certain that he'll be able to return. While he's sidelined, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell could see an uptick in playing time.

  • AJ Green SG | MIL

    Bucks' AJ Green: Moves to bench

    Green will come off the bench Saturday against the Suns.

    The Bucks will mix things up Saturday and move Taurean Prince into the first unit. Green is likely to maintain a sizable role despite this news.

  • Taurean Prince SG | MIL

    Bucks' Taurean Prince: Starting Saturday

    Prince is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Suns.

    Prince will make his second start of the season, stepping in to replace AJ Green. In his only appearance as a starter, Prince posted eight points, two rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes.

  • Bez Mbeng SG | UTA

    Jazz's Bez Mbeng: Drawing first career start

    Mbeng will start in Saturday's game against the 76ers.

    Mbeng will make his first career start, stepping up to the top unit alongside Elijah Harkless, Cody Williams, Ace Bailey and Kyle Filipowski. In four appearances this season, Mbeng is averaging 2.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals across 30.5 minutes. Mbeng is signed to a 10-day deal with the Jazz, but the contract is set to expire before Utah's next game Monday versus the Raptors.

  • Nique Clifford SG | SAC

    Kings' Nique Clifford: Good to go Sunday

    Clifford (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Clifford will return from a one-game absence due to left hamstring soreness. In his 10 appearances leading up to the absence, Clifford averaged 13.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.5 steals across 34.9 minutes.

  • Devin Carter SG | SAC

    Kings' Devin Carter: Cleared to play

    Carter (calf) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Carter is all set to return from a five-game absence due to a bruised right calf. With Russell Westbrook (foot) sitting out, Carter should enter the rotation and could even garner the starting nod at point guard over Killian Hayes.

  • Kings' Daeqwon Plowden: Iffy for Sunday

    Plowden is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets due to right foot soreness.

    Plowden has stepped into a significant role as of late, and he's scored in double figures in seven consecutive outings. However, the Kings could be without Plowden's services Sunday as the 27-year-old tends to a sore right foot.

  • Malik Monk SG | SAC

    Kings' Malik Monk: Available for Sunday

    Monk (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    After tweaking his shoulder Thursday against the 76ers, Monk is no longer on the injury report. He may see a bump in usage Sunday with Russell Westbrook (foot) sitting out.
