  • 76ers' Kelly Oubre: Nets 21 points with eight boards

    Oubre had 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 victory over the Heat.

    Oubre was limited to just 12 points during Tuesday's win over the Pacers, but he was more aggressive with his shot selection Thursday evening and hit some key buckets down the stretch to help deliver the win for Philly. Oubre finished with a team-best plus-12 differential and played a pivotal role in the 76ers' first win over the Heat since 2024.

  • VJ Edgecombe SG | PHI

    76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Scores 19 points with full line

    Edgecombe amassed 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

    Edgecombe has been dialed in over the past two games, scoring efficiently, crashing the glass and wreaking havoc on defense. He's gone 17-for-25 from the floor over the torrid two-game stretch while ripping away a total of four steals. The rookie will look to keep the good times rolling Sunday in Boston.

  • Tyrese Maxey PG | PHI

    76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Stuffs stat sheet in win

    Maxey closed with 28 points (9-26 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, one block and five steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

    Maxey was locked in from the jump, dropping in five triples through the first quarter of play, as he moved past Allen Iverson to become the 76ers' new all-time leader in three-point makes. This was Maxey's seventh double-double of the season and his third game with at least five steals. He'll look to keep his foot on the gas pedal Sunday in Boston.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Suffers head injury

    Bagley went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Kings due to a head injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Bagley appeared to take a knee to the head, resulting in his prompt departure from the game. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Double-doubles in win

    Embiid produced 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

    Embiid got kneed in the ribs early in the game, and while he played through it, he could be seen grimacing throughout the match. The good news is that the 76ers don't play again until Sunday versus the Celtics, so Embiid will have a full two days to rest up. However, if the big man does need to hit the sidelines Sunday, that would give Andre Drummond a chance to get back into the rotation.

  • Tyler Herro PG | MIA

    Heat's Tyler Herro: Nets 25 points with seven dimes

    Herro supplied 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to Philadelphia.

    This was the most minutes, points, triples and assists that Herro has had since coming back from a rib injury, so it'll be interesting to see if he finally returns to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Pelle Larsson finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers across 33 minutes in the defeat.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Double-doubles in loss

    Adebayo notched 29 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to the 76ers.

    Adebayo was hot to start Thursday's game, and he secured his double-double by halftime. The 28-year-old center has been heating up in February with averages of 20.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.1 steals per game.

  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Surpasses major scoring milestone

    Durant logged 40 points (14-28 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 40 minutes during the Rockets' 113-108 win over the Magic on Thursday.

    It was a vintage performance out of the 37-year-old future Hall of Famer, who scored 26 of his game-high 40 points in the second half to propel the Rockets to a come-from-behind victory. Durant's scoring barrage moved him up to 32,006 points in his storied NBA career, and he is within striking distance of passing Michael Jordan (32,292 points) for the fifth-most points in league history. It was also Durant's 431rd career game with 30-plus points, which is tied with Kobe Bryant for fifth most all time. In five games since the All-Star break, Durant has averaged 28.8 points on 53.0 percent shooting along with 6.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.8 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over 35.2 minutes per game.

  • Kon Knueppel SF | CHA

    Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Drills eight treys

    Knueppel ended with 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-12 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Pacers.

    Knueppel put on a shooting display Thursday evening and tied the best mark of his young NBA career by knocking down eight threes, which is something he also accomplished Jan. 29 against Dallas. Following this impressive performance from deep, the Duke product now holds the NBA record for most made threes in a season by a rookie with 207. Knueppel has put up 20-plus points in four straight games and has shown no sign of slowing down.

  • Brandon Miller SG | CHA

    Hornets' Brandon Miller: Drops 33 points in victory

    Miller supplied 33 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 victory over the Pacers.

    Miller paced the Hornets in the scoring column with the help of six triples. He's been deadly from beyond the arc over his last three matchups, as he's drilled 59.3 percent of his tries from deep during that hot stretch. Miller also managed to add value on the opposite end by racking up at least one steal for a third straight game.
