  • Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Scores 15, posts full line

    Robinson posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 win over the Timberwolves.

    Robinson has been on a tear lately, and this was his seventh straight game with multiple three-pointers made. The eight-year veteran has solidified his position as a starter in the Pistons' backcourt, and his floor-spacing and outside-shooting abilities are vital for the team's offensive scheme. During that impressive seven-game stretch, Robinson is making 47.2 percent of his threes on 7.6 attempts per contest.

    Warriors' Gui Santos: Strikes for 25 points in loss

    Santos tallied 25 points (9-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Santos ended the night tied for the team lead in scoring with Brandin Podziemski. Santos impressed with his efficiency on the offensive end, knocking down 64.3 percent of his attempts from the field after struggling to a 3-for-9 clip Sunday in Denver. The 23-year-old has put up 20 or more points in three of his last four appearances.

    Strus produced 24 points (9-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 win over the Warriors.

    Strus had his shot working from beyond the arc Thursday, which where he tacked on 18 of his 24 points. He's been highly effective from downtown of late, drilling six or more treys in two of his last three appearances. Strus has started back-to-back games for the Cavs and will have a chance to run with the first unit for at least one additional matchup while Dean Wade recovers from an ankle injury.

  • Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Adds 28 points in victory

    Gilgeous-Alexander registered 28 points (12-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers.

    Gilgeous-Alexander did all of his damage without stepping on the court for the final period, as Oklahoma City closed the third quarter with a 45-point lead. The 27-year-old was a big reason why OKC was able to build such a commanding lead. Gilgeous-Alexander led his team in points and finished second in rebounds and assists. He's averaging 32.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five appearances.

  • Luguentz Dort SF | OKC

    Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Fails to return

    Dort suffered an undisclosed injury during the third quarter, and the team neglected to provide an update after he was seen walking to the locker room. He can be considered day-to-day until Oklahoma City has more news to share on the nature of his injury.

    Jenkins posted 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 win over the Timberwolves.

    Jenkins continues to roll on the offensive end, as he led the Pistons in scoring on the way to a hard-fought victory. He's posted 20-plus points in back-to-back games and continues to put up strong numbers across the board while running with the first unit, which is where he'll remain until Cade Cunningham (chest) is cleared to return.

  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Won't return Thursday

    This news isn't unexpected given the amount of pain Doncic appeared to be in after suffering the injury, and the game was also out reach shortly after he departed for the locker room.

Doncic is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.
