Hornets' Brandon Miller: Notches 17 points in win
Miller produced 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 victory over the Suns.
While this wasn't Miller's most eye-catching performance, he continues to churn out terrific fantasy numbers. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.9 three-pointers on 49.0 percent shooting from the field.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Stays hot in rout
Harper supplied 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 victory over the Clippers.
That's now seven straight games in double figures for the rookie first-rounder, who continues to provide a scoring punch off the bench for the Spurs. During that span, Harper has averaged 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the field.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Strong line off bench
Reid ended Thursday's 113-108 loss to Detroit with 19 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 30 minutes.
Reid put together a strong showing Thursday, taking advantage of some extra usage with Anthony Edwards (knee/illness) out. Edwards is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers, so Reid may be called upon once again in an expanded role.

Joel Embiid C | PHI
76ers' Joel Embiid: Upgraded to probable
Embiid (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game versus Minnesota.
This is a huge boost for the 76ers after the team initially listed him as doubtful. With Embiid set to return from a one-game absence, Adem Bona will likely shift to the bench and Andre Drummond may fall out of the rotation completely.

Anthony Edwards SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Iffy for Friday
Edwards (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Edwards remains day-to-day for Minnesota after missing Thursday's game against the Pistons with a knee issue on top of an illness. If Edwards is unable to give it a go, the Timberwolves will likely lean more on Bones Hyland, Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu.

Tyler Herro PG | MIA
Heat's Tyler Herro: Probable for Saturday
Herro (foot soreness) is probable for Saturday's game against Washington, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
This sounds like a mild setback for Herro, which is unlikely to keep him off the court Saturday. Herro is likely to see a continued bump in usage with Norman Powell (illness) still out.

Norman Powell SG | MIA
Heat's Norman Powell: Won't return Saturday
Powell (illness) is out for Saturday's game against Washington, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell was able to speak to the media Friday, but he said he's still recovering from his illness and that he was "very sick." With this news, he'll have a chance to return from a four-game absence Tuesday in Toronto.

Noah Clowney PF | BKN
Nets' Noah Clowney: Cleared to play
Clowney (ankle) is good to go for Friday against the Hawks.
Clowney is no longer on the injury report after previously carrying a probable tag. The forward is averaging 7.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.5 minutes per game over his last eight appearances.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Notches 25 points in win
Mitchell finished with 25 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 win over Golden State.
The Cavaliers improved to 48-29 with the win, with Mitchell notching his 45th game with at least 25 points. Across 68 appearances, Mitchell remains on pace for a first-round finish in nine-category fantasy formats with 27.7 points, 5.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
