Allen generated 27 points (10-15 FG, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Bucks.

Allen has now posted a double-double in nine of his last 10 games, and his 27 points were his third most during that stretch. The 27-year-old center had a shot to tie it at the end of regulation, but his bucket came just after the buzzer. During that 10-game stretch, Allen is averaging 22.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals over 29.2 minutes.

Podziemski finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 win over Memphis.

Podziemski was moved into the starting lineup Wednesday for the 20th time this season (and first since Feb. 3). The third-year pro responded by co-leading the Warriors in rebounds while finishing second in both assists and points. The Warriors' next game takes place Saturday against the Lakers, and it's unclear whether Podziemski will remain in the starting lineup if De'Anthony Melton (knee) is cleared to return.

Sengun generated 26 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and three blocks across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 128-97 win over Sacramento.

Sengun stuffed the stat sheet Wednesday night, notching his third triple-double of the season while also racking up five combined steals-plus-blocks. Although scoring efficiency hasn't been an issue for Sengun recently, he has been quiet as a scorer. Sengun averaged 15.0 points in the eight games leading up to Wednesday. He's averaging 20.5 points per game this season.

Richard totaled 21 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 victory over Memphis.

Richard had the opportunity to take on an expanded role Wednesday due to the absences of Stephen Curry (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (knee). Richard responded by leading the Warriors with a career-high 21 points and chipped in defensively with a team-high three swipes. It was the rookie second rounder's 16th start of the season (and first since Jan. 19), but he would likely revert to a bench role against the Lakers on Saturday if Melton is cleared to return.

Small amassed 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 loss to the Warriors.

The rookie second-rounder made his first NBA start Wednesday and put together a nice stat line, finishing as the Grizzlies' third-leading scorer behind GG Jackson (24 points) and Ty Jerome (22 points). Small has seen his minutes increase since late January, though it's unclear whether he'll remain in the starting lineup ahead of the likes of Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer for as long as Cedric Coward (knee) is sidelined.

Murray is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Boston due to illness.

Murray was considered probable due to hamstring tightness leading up to Wednesday's game. However, he left the contest in the first quarter because of an illness. While he's sidelined, look for Bruce Brown and KJ Simpson to see more playing time.

Sheppard generated 28 points (9-21 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 128-97 win over the Kings.

Sheppard filled in for Amen Thompson (quadriceps) as a starter Wednesday and had a strong day from beyond the three-point arc. He attempted a career-high 16 triples and knocked down 43.7 percent of those looks. His 28 points were tied for his second most in a game this season. Sheppard is averaging 12.9 points, 3.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 24.8 minutes per game this season.

Murray-Boyles has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a left thumb contusion, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.

Murray-Boyles checked out of the game with 10:23 left in the fourth quarter to have his thumb evaluated, and the Raptors quickly ruled him out for the night. The rookie big man generated four points (1-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes prior to departing the contest. Murray-Boyles' next chance to play will come Saturday in Washington.

Harper will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Harper made a spot start Tuesday, but now that Jaylen Brown is available, Harper will return to his typical bench role. He logged eight points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 30 minutes Tuesday.

Hepburn (knee) was spotted Wednesday moving around without the aid of crutches, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Hepburn underwent surgery Jan. 8 to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, and while it's unclear how close he is to making a return, ditching the crutches is a sign of improvement. The rookie two-way player has appeared in just two NBA games this season.
