    Nets' Danny Wolf: Delivers career-high 23 points

    Wolf logged 23 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 106-102 loss to the Cavaliers.

    The 23 points were a new career high for the rookie forward. Wolf is still predictably showing some inconsistency, but he's scored in double digits in eight of the last 11 games (one start), averaging 12.5 points, 5.4 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.4 combined blocks and steals in 22.4 minutes over that stretch.

  • Nets' Michael Porter: Hits for game-high 26 in loss

    Porter closed with 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 loss to Cleveland.

    The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the afternoon, but only three other Nets even scored in double digits. Porter has been productive since missing the last two games before the All-Star break with knee tendinitis, and over the last six games he's averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.2 steals.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Drops 20 in Brooklyn

    Allen contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 victory over the Nets.

    The 27-year-old center has scored at least 20 points in three straight games and eight of 12 since the beginning of February. Over that span, Allen is averaging 22.1 points, 11.1 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals.

  • Evan Mobley PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Double-double against Nets

    Mobley ended Sunday's 106-102 win over Brooklyn with 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes.

    It's his second straight double-double and 19th of the season. Mobley is still getting rested on the second game of back-to-backs as he rounds into form following a calf injury, and over five games since returning to the lineup he's averaging 15.4 points, 8.6 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 threes a contest.

  • Jalen Suggs SG | ORL

    Magic's Jalen Suggs: Returns to normal workload

    Suggs closed with 14 points (4-17 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

    After logging just 13 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to Houston, Suggs returned to his typical spot in the starting lineup and doubled up on his playing time. The 2021 first-rounder has been in and out of the Orlando lineup all year long, but it seems like he's ready to handle his usual workload going forward. Over his last eight appearances, Suggs has averaged 12.0 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocks in 26.2 minutes per game.

  • James Harden PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' James Harden: Powers through thumb injury in win

    Harden (thumb) chipped in 22 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 win over the Nets.

    The 22 points led the Cavaliers on the afternoon, and Harden's near triple-double was even more impressive considering he's playing through a fractured right thumb that had sidelined him for the previous two games. The veteran guard has scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 19.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.1 boards and 3.0 three-pointers over that stretch.

  • Paolo Banchero PF | ORL

    Magic's Paolo Banchero: Team-high 24 points in defeat

    Banchero totaled 24 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

    The All-Star forward is now up to 19 double-doubles for the year, with Sunday's being his third in his past five games. With Franz Wagner tending to a high-ankle sprain, Banchero should continue to take on all the usage he can handle. Across his last six outings, Banchero has averaged 25.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 38.3 minutes per game.

  • Matas Buzelis SF | CHI

    Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Hits for 20 in big win

    Buzelis amassed 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 victory over the Bucks.

    The second-year forward reached 20 points for a third straight game while making an impact at the defensive end once again. Over his last 11 games, Buzelis is averaging 18.2 points, 5.9 boards, 3.1 threes, 2.3 assists and 1.9 blocks.

  • Collin Sexton SG | CHI

    Bulls' Collin Sexton: Strikes for game-high 22 Sunday

    Sexton provided 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 32 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-97 win over the Bucks.

    The 22 points led all scorers on the afternoon as Sexton put together his best offensive showing in nine games (two starts) since joining the Bulls. During that stretch, the 27-year-old guard is averaging 12.9 points, 2.2 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 threes in 23.7 minutes.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Well-rounded production Sunday

    Da Silva posted 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

    The 19 points were da Silva's most since the Nov. 14 win over the Nets. The second-year forward is a player to consider as a streamer in deep leagues for as long as Franz Wagner (ankle) remains on the shelf. Da Silva has started five consecutive contests, averaging 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 34.1 minutes per game.
