Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Scores 16 points with three triples
Robinson chipped in 16 points (4-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Thunder.
This was Robinson's fourth straight game with at least three triples, and his third consecutive double-digit scoring performance. He doesn't usually do much outside of points and triples, but Robinson is proficient enough in those two categories to warrant a roster spot in deep fantasy leagues.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Nets 29 points with 15 rebounds
Duren registered 29 points (12-17 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 victory over the Thunder.
Duren dominated the paint with the Thunder resting their starting frontcourt, and he finished with a plus-12 differential in the eight-point win. Duren has been a top-40 stud this season with averages of 18.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Double-doubles with six stocks
Cunningham ended Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Thunder with 29 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists, three blocks and three steals in 38 minutes.
This was a nice bounce-back performance for Cunningham, who was held to just 16 points on 5-for-26 shooting in Monday's loss to the Spurs. He was dialed in from the jump, missing only one shot through the first half of action, and Cunningham notched his 31st double-double of the season in the win.

Thunder's Jared McCain: Nets 20 points with four treys
McCain finished with 20 points (6-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Pistons.
McCain got off to a slow start Wednesday, going scoreless through the first half of action while missing all four of his shot attempts. However, he completely flipped the script after halftime and finished with a decent stat line. If Isaiah Joe (glute) needs to miss Friday's game against the Nuggets, McCain could see an uptick in minutes and an expanded role on offense.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Night ends early due to illness
Murray (illness) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Celtics. He finished with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist in eight minutes.
Murray exited Wednesday's contest during the first quarter, and after receiving treatment, he's since been shut down for the rest of the night. Bruce Brown and KJ Simpson could see more time on the court as Denver's primary facilitators while Murray sit out. The Nuggets will hope that Murray can shake off the illness in time to play in Friday's game in Oklahoma City.

Jaylin Williams PF | OKC
Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Double-doubles in loss
Williams closed with 30 points (9-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to Detroit.
This was Williams' third double-double of the season and the seventh of his career, and he did a nice job asserting himself in the post. Williams finished with a career high in points, but he'll likely return to a reserve role Friday against the Nuggets with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Chet Holmgren (back) expected back from their rest days.

Gregory Jackson PF | MEM
Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Leads Memphis in scoring
Jackson logged 24 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 loss to the Warriors.
Jackson finished Wednesday's game as the Grizzlies' leader in points and assists and was two rebounds shy from recording his first double-double of the season (and first since April 14, 2024). Jackson has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has connected on 57.6 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 21.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.2 blocks over 26.6 minutes per game.

Aaron Wiggins SG | OKC
Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Nets 20 points with full line
Wiggins ended Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Pistons with 20 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.
Wiggins saw just 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Toronto, but he got a spot-start in this one with Chet Holmgren (back) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) taking the night off and saw more shots falling his way with Isaiah Joe (glute) leaving the game early. Wiggins is capable of putting up quality stats when given the minutes, but his playing time has been inconsistent this season.

Ty Jerome SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Logs 22 points vs. Golden State
Jerome accumulated 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 loss to the Warriors.
Jerome ended the night with a flurry, scoring 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to finish as the Grizzlies' second-leading scorer behind GG Jackson (24 points). Jerome's 24 minutes of playing time were his most this season as he continues to ramp up his conditioning after missing the first half of the season due to a right calf strain. He is averaging 19.6 points, 5.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 21.0 minutes per game while connecting on 41.2 percent of his three-point attempts on 6.4 3PA/G this season.

Pat Spencer PG | GS
Warriors' Pat Spencer: Near double-double off bench
Spencer totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 victory over Memphis.
Spencer was moved to the Warriors' bench after struggling in his most recent starts, and the move appeared to pay off as he finished one assist shy from recording his second double-double of the season. It's unclear whether his shift to the bench is permanent, but Wednesday's performance shows that the third-year pro can be productive in whatever role he's in, at least for as long as Stephen Curry (knee) is sidelined.
