  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Chips in full stat line

    Zubac contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    Zubac made his second appearance for Indiana, and he saw a big jump in playing time after logging only 16 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Suns. The 29-year-old big man's availability might be sporadic for the last-place Pacers down the stretch, but he should remain quite effective when available. Dating back to his time with the Clippers, Zubac has averaged 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.6 minutes per tilt across his last seven games while shooting a robust 70.5 percent from the field.

  • Jarace Walker PF | IND

    Pacers' Jarace Walker: Just misses double-double

    Walker posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    Walker continues to produce for the Pacers, coming close to what would've been his fourth double-double of the year. Even when Pascal Siakam (knee) returns, Walker appears to be solidified as a starter. Walker has started 13 consecutive games, during which he has averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

  • OG Anunoby SF | NY

    Knicks' OG Anunoby: Stays hot Friday

    Anunoby recorded 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 101-92 win over Indiana.

    Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) didn't suit up Friday, which gave Anunoby the opportunity to step into a larger role offensively. Anunoby missed some time with a toe injury back in February, but he's found a groove since working his way back from the issue. Over his last nine contests, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

  • Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Puts up game-high 29 points

    Brunson recorded 29 points (11-25 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 101-92 win over Indiana.

    With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sitting out, New York's offense ran through Brunson on Friday. The All-Star floor general turned in his highest-scoring output since the Feb. 19 loss to the Pistons, reaching the 20-point plateau in his fourth straight game. Since the All-Star break, Brunson has averaged 23.3 points, 8.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per contest across 13 games.

  • Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Shooting woes continue

    Bridges accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and four rebounds in 30 minutes during Friday's 101-92 victory over the Pacers.

    Bridges continues to endure a rough patch as a scorer, as he's now scored fewer than 12 points in five consecutive games. Although the 29-year-old swingman remains locked into a starting role for the Knicks, Bridges is averaging just 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game over his last five outings, shooting a miserable 32.5 percent from the field during that stretch.

  • Ace Bailey SG | UTA

    Jazz's Ace Bailey: Leaves early Friday with concussion

    Bailey won't return to Friday's game against Portland due to concussion symptoms. He finished with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block across seven minutes.

    The Jazz haven't confirmed that Bailey sustained a concussion, but his symptoms of the brain injury will be enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. The rookie first-round pick will likely enter the NBA's concussion protocol, making it uncertain that he'll be cleared in advance of the Jazz's next game Sunday against the Kings. If Bailey ends up sitting out Sunday, the Jazz could make two-way player Blake Hinson active for that contest after he didn't dress for Friday's game.

  • Grayson Allen SG | PHO

    Suns' Grayson Allen: Chips in 15 points off bench

    Allen finished with 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 122-115 loss to the Raptors.

    It was the fifth time this season that Allen attempted 10 free throws in a game. He scored 12 of his 15 points in the first quarter and finished as the Suns' third-leading scorer behind Jalen Green (34 points) and Devin Booker (31 points). Friday was Allen's return from a one-game absence due to right knee injury management, and he may continue to sit out at least one game of back-to-back sets until the postseason.

  • Javonte Green SG | DET

    Pistons' Javonte Green: Records three steals

    Green supplied six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and three steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 126-110 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Green moved into the starting lineup, replacing Tobias Harris, who was ruled out with a hip injury. As he has done for much of the season, Green made the most of his time on the floor, particularly on the defensive end, where he recorded three steals for the third straight game. Both Harris and Ausar Thompson (ankle) could return as soon as Sunday, meaning Green should be looked at for streaming purposes and nothing more.

  • Isaiah Stewart PF | DET

    Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Modest production continues

    Stewart produced 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Friday's 126-110 win over the Grizzlies.

    Stewart continues to serve up adequate production, although given the current injury situation in Detroit, managers have likely been disappointed. Despite Ausar Thompson's absence due to an ankle injury, Stewart's playing time has remained steady. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has been nothing more than a top-160 player, averaging 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 22.5 minutes per contest over that stretch.

  • Ron Holland SF | DET

    Pistons' Ronald Holland: Tops double digits again

    Holland totaled 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Friday's 126-110 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Holland scored in double figures for the third straight game, although his supporting numbers continue to be mostly underwhelming. With Ausar Thompson still sidelined due to an ankle injury, Holland has seen his role increase during that three-game span. However, with Thompson nearing a return, Holland's value could evaporate at any point, making him a tough player to roster with confidence.
