  • Dyson Daniels SG | ATL

    Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Tallies five swipes

    Daniels recorded 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and five steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 141-107 victory over the Nets.

    Daniels turned in an efficient showing in the scoring department and also made an impact on the defensive end by accounting for five of Atlanta's 11 steals on the night. He's been a strong contributor across the board lately, as he's averaging 13.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.4 steals in 34.6 minutes over his last five games.

  • Sion James SG | CHA

    Hornets' Sion James: Scores in double figures

    James ended with 13 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 129-108 win over the Pacers.

    James caught fire from downtown during Friday's comfortable victory and managed to score in double figures for just the second time since March 10 with the help of four made treys. He also led the Charlotte bench in scoring. James has seen more consistent usage lately after averaging 17.9 minutes through his first 13 outings of March, as he's logged 22.5 minutes per game over his last four appearances.

  • Chaz Lanier SG | DET

    Pistons' Chaz Lanier: Returning to parent team

    Detroit recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Saturday.

    Lanier suited up for Motor City in Friday's 123-116 loss to the Osceola Magic in the Eastern Conference Semifinals of the G League playoffs, finishing with 27 points (8-13 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes. With the Cruise's campaign coming to an end with the loss, Lanier will rejoin the Pistons for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. Though Lanier has been formally recalled, it's unclear if he'll arrive in Philadelphia in time for the Pistons' game Saturday versus the 76ers. Detroit is officially listing him as questionable for the contest.

  • Kobe Bufkin SG | LAL

    Lakers' Kobe Bufkin: Back with parent club

    The Lakers recalled Bufkin from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

    Rather than sticking around with South Bay for its Western Conference Finals matchup versus the Stockton Kings on Sunday, Bufkin will rejoin the parent club ahead of the final game of its road trip Sunday in Dallas. Bufkin helped South Bay advance to the third round of the G League playoffs after producing 18 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes Friday in a 112-97 win over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the Western Conference Semifinals.

  • Malachi Smith SG | BKN

    Nets' Malachi Smith: Stays in Brooklyn on two-year deal

    Smith agreed Saturday with the Nets on a two-year contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Smith had previously signed a pair of 10-day deals with Brooklyn, but with the latter contract expiring Saturday, the Nets needed to sign him for the rest of the season in order to retain him. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.2 minutes per game in 10 appearances for the Nets and should be a regular presence in the rotation over the team's final five games.

  • Dalton Knecht SF | LAL

    Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Back with parent club

    The Lakers recalled Knecht from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

    Rather than sticking around with South Bay for its Western Conference Finals matchup versus the Stockton Kings on Sunday, Knecht will rejoin the parent club ahead of the final game of its road trip Sunday in Dallas. Knecht helped South Bay advance to the third round of the G League playoffs after producing 24 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes Friday in a 112-97 win over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the Western Conference Semifinals.

  • Kam Jones PG | IND

    Pacers' Kam Jones: Steps up in loss

    Jones produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 129-108 loss to the Hornets.

    Jones was back in the rotation Friday while the Pacers were without the services of Andrew Nembhard (back), Aaron Nesmith (neck) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring), and he was sure to make his minutes count. Jones failed to contribute much as a scorer, but he made an impact as a playmaker and dished out double-digit assists for the third time in 32 games this season. However, he'll likely fall back out of the fold once the Indiana backcourt returns to health, which could come as early as Sunday in Cleveland.

  • Javon Small PG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Javon Small: Solid numbers against Toronto

    Small logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 128-96 loss to the Raptors.

    The rookie guard has gotten the start in seven straight appearances for the injury-ravaged Grizzlies, and Small is taking advantage of the opportunity. Over that stretch, the 2025 second-round pick in averaging 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, 3.7 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals in 25.3 minutes while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Erupts for season-high 30 in loss

    Jackson finished with 30 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 128-96 loss to the Raptors.

    The third-year forward led all scorers on the night, but only two other Grizzlies even scored in double digits in the rout. Jackson is having an impressive surge to close out the campaign, scoring 10-plus points in 21 straight appearances since the All-Star break while averaging 18.0 points, 5.3 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 blocks in only 25.6 minutes a contest and shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.

  • Brandon Ingram SF | TOR

    Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Chips in 17 in Memphis

    Ingram supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 128-96 win over the Grizzlies.

    After sitting out the Raptors' last game to tend to a nagging heel issue, Ingram was productive in his return, and his numbers would have been even better in a more competitive contest. The 28-year-old guard has scored in double digits in nine of his last 10 games, averaging 20.5 points, 4.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 44.2 percent from downtown.
