Fantasy News

McNeeley was recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday, but he's still nursing an ankle injury and isn't ready to play. His next chance to return comes Wednesday against the Hawks.

Degenhart's 24 points Sunday marked his season high, and he reached this milestone in his first start of the year. The Raptors 905 were extremely shorthanded, as they were dealing with five inactives and rolled out an eight-man rotation, but Degenhart was able to step up and deliver in an elevated role, which also led to the team's third straight win.

Reese's 17 boards were a season high, and his monster performance off the bench Sunday marked his third double-double. Although he averages just 7.4 points on the year, Reese has scored in double digits in six of his last eight appearances.

Key recorded four points over just 14 minutes in Saturday's win over the Grand Rapids, which is presumably when he sustained his calf injury. This injury was serious to hold him out of Sunday's contest, and he can be considered questionable to play Tuesday against the Cleveland Charge.

Moore had one of his most efficient games from the field Sunday, missing just one shot en route to another 20-point game, his seventh in a row. Over his last two appearances, Moore converted 17 of 19 field goal attempts, which is a whopping 89.5 percent rate.

Maintenance days have been par for the course for Love this season. With this news, Kyle Filipowski and John Konchar could see a slight uptick in minutes.

Wagner, who has missed the past nine games for Orlando, officially has the green light to return after shaking off his questionable tag. After such a lengthy stint on the sidelines, it's possible he faces some restrictions in his first game back. With this news, Anthony Black may retreat to the second unit.

Shannons has been out with a left foot abductor hallucis strain since Dec. 27, but he has now been cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities. As long as he continues to progress, a return on Feb. 20 against the Mavericks could be on the table.

Williams bounced back after missing all seven three-point shots Friday and converted his lone attempt from beyond the arc Sunday. He has scored at least 21 points in two of his last three contests and at least 16 points in six straight appearances.

Nelson returned from missing Friday's game due to reconditioning and started against the Boom, hitting his only shot from deep and grabbing seven boards. He has been locked in with Long Island's first unit since Jan. 9, eclipsing the 20-point mark three times in that span.

Before the Timberwolves acquired him from the Bulls on Thursday, Phillips had missed a game due to a right wrist sprain, but he made enough progress in his recovery from his injury over the weekend to get the green light to make his Minnesota debut Sunday. Phillips didn't see the court until the Clippers had the win well in hand, and the 22-year-old forward seems likely to find himself outside of the rotation while Minnesota has all of its key contributors available.

Slawson recorded his fifth double-double of the season and third instance in a row with double digit rebounds. He has also scored at least 19 points in back-to-back appearances, shaking off a three-game stretch totaling just 23 points in that span.

The Hornets waived Connaughton back on Feb. 4 to make room for a trade, but they later waived Malaki Branham on Monday to open a spot back up. Connaughton will now reprise his role as an emergency depth option off the bench.

Peter was just one assist short of his second double-double of the season, and has recorded 17 total dimes over his last two games. He has also been scoring the ball well recently, logging at least 13 points in five straight appearances.

Martin has been sidelined since Jan. 24 due to an illness and a calf injury, but made his return Sunday. Although he only played three minutes, he is likely part of a ramp up process and could see more minutes Tuesday in a rematch against Long Island.

McDaniels has been remarkably quiet in two straight appearances, as he's totaled eight points, three rebounds and two assists in 50 minutes in back-to-back losses for Minnesota. Sunday also marked just the second time the sharpshooter has failed to attempt a shot from beyond the arc. McDaniels has been one of the league's hottest shooters from distance so far this season, so it seems only a matter of time before he gets back on track.

Johnson is a member of the Heat's 15-man roster, but he's found playing time difficult to come by this season with an average of 7.6 minutes per game over 21 appearances. The second-year forward will get the chance to see some extended run Monday for the Skyforce in their game against the Oklahoma City Blue.

Branham was traded from the Mavericks to Charlotte on Thursday, but the Hornets had no intention of keeping him. Branham is now free to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Reid led the T-Wolves in rebounds and nearly recorded his first double-double since Jan. 11. However, it's been a slow start to February offensively for the 26-year-old, who is averaging 10.5 points on 39.5 percent shooting from the field in his first four appearances of the month.

South Bay doesn't play its next game until Wednesday, so James could practice in the G League early Monday before rejoining the parent club ahead of its game later in the evening versus the Thunder. Even if James is formally recalled prior to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff, he's not expected to be included in the rotation.

Knecht has largely been outside of the Los Angeles rotation for the last three weeks, appearing in just eight of the team's last 13 games while playing fewer than 10 minutes on every occasion. Given his light usage of late, Knecht was likely assigned to the G League simply to get some extra practice reps in. He'll be available off the bench Monday but isn't expected to be part of the rotation.

Edwards clearly didn't have his best stuff on the offensive end but managed to reach the 20-point threshold given his high volume of shot attempts. He particularly struggled from downtown and has now gone 1-for-8 from deep in two of his previous three games. Edwards' streak of 30-point showings will come to an end at four games following Sunday's performance.

According to McMenamin, Thiero took part in a full-contact practice with South Bay on Sunday, marking the rookie first such session since he was diagnosed with a right knee MCL sprain in late December. Thiero will remain out for the Lakers' game Monday versus the Thunder and appears likely to sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday versus the Spurs, but if he continues to practice in the G League in the coming days, he could be a candidate to play in South Bay's next game Wednesday versus the San Diego Clippers. After that, the NBA club will conclude its pre-All-Star-break schedule with a matchup Thursday versus the Mavericks.

Niederhauser provided an unexpected scoring boost in limited opportunities by going perfect from the field. He fell one point shy of tying his best mark of the season and has now scored in double digits in two of his last three games. However, Niederhauser's minutes are expected to take a hit once Isaiah Jackson (trade pending) is ready for his team debut.

Leonard reached the 40-point threshold for the third time in 39 appearances this season. He put together a polished shooting line, highlighted by five treys, his best performance from downtown since Jan. 14. Leonard also impressed on the defensive end by racking up four steals for the third time in his last 12 games.

Recalled from the G League's Raptors 905 ahead of Sunday's contest, Mogbo suited up but wasn't a true part of the rotation, as he merely subbed into the game to give Gradey Dick a breather at the end of the third quarter. With Jakob Poeltl (back) seemingly trending toward a return for the Raptors' next game Wednesday versus the Pistons, Mogbo's path to getting meaningful minutes at the NBA level will become further blocked.

Hinton led the Hustle in points scored, rebounds and steals during the loss en route to compiling his fourth double-double of the season. The 26-year-old continues to remain active defensively, as he's now racked up at least four steals in seven consecutive games.

Freemantle was dominant during the victory, hauling in a season-high 17 rebounds en route to recording his fifth double-double of the campaign The 6-foot-9 forward was also San Diego's leading scorer and converted an efficient 57.1 percent of his field-goal attempts. He now averages 12.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 34 G League appearances.

Wiggins wasn't a focal point as a scorer, but he knocked down three triples as part of a lopsided Heat victory. The forward recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first coming Jan. 25 against the Suns. Wiggins has now scored in double figures in 13 straight games, though he's reached the 20-point mark just once during that span.

Vukcevic returned to a bench role after starting Saturday but produced a similar result, totaling exactly 14 points for a third straight game. After entering this stretch shooting just 20.0 percent from beyond the arc across 30 appearances, the big man has caught fire from deep, converting 61.5 percent of his three-point attempts on 13 tries over the past three contests. With the Wizards moving on from Marvin Bagley at the trade deadline, Vukcevic now has a clear path to operating as the primary backup center behind Alex Sarr.

Sarr didn't stand out as a scorer but still managed to fill up the stat sheet in a blowout loss. In what's been a productive season of progression for the 2024 first-round pick, the big man is now up to 12 double-doubles on the campaign, with three coming over his past six contests.

Adebayo delivered a well-rounded performance Sunday, tying Kasparas Jakucionis for the game high with 22 points while also swiping a season-high five steals in a blowout win. The big man has now recorded at least one steal in five straight games, his longest streak of the season. Coupled with his strong rebounding presence, Adebayo continues to stand out as a reliable defensive anchor in the paint.

Jakucionis delivered a breakout performance Sunday, tying Bam Adebayo for the game high with 22 points in a dominant Heat win. The rookie guard was perfect from beyond the arc while setting a new career high in scoring and adding three stocks. Jakucionis hasn't been a fixture in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation this season, but outings like this could open the door to more opportunities for the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Ware made a significant impact as both a scorer and rebounder in a dominant Heat victory. Sunday marked his highest scoring output since Dec. 29 and the big man's most rebounds in a game since Dec. 21. His role had been more limited as of late, as Ware averaged 7.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in just 11.3 minutes per contest over the previous six contests.

The rookie first-rounder did not play in Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to a shoulder injury. It appears Coward has been cleared to return Monday, which will likely lead to Jahmai Mashack reverting to a bench role. Coward has averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 threes over 26.3 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Spencer missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle injury, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Over his last five games, he holds averages of 15.0 points, 4.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per contest.

Wells missed Saturday's game due to a right shoulder injury, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Wells has scored in double figures in each of his last five games, averaging 14.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 26.4 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Clayton may have picked up the injury during Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers, when he finished with eight points, seven assists, four rebounds and three steals over 28 minutes. If the rookie first-rounder is unable to play, then Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack would be in line for more minutes off the bench.

Pippen missed the second half of the team's back-to-back set Saturday as he returns to action following an extended absence due to a left great toe injury. He will return to the lineup Monday after recording 13 points, six assists, three rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes in his season debut Friday.

Aldama is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a right knee injury, and his last opportunity to play before the All-Star game is Wednesday against the Nuggets. Kyle Anderson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper figure to be the top candidates to start Monday in Aldama's absence.

Cryer will miss a seventh straight game due to a left hamstring injury. His absence doesn't figure to impact the rotation.

Henderson missed Saturday's game for injury management purposes as he is coming off an extended absence due to a hamstring issue, but he is likely to return to action Monday. Should he suit up, he figures to see plenty of usage considering the plethora of injuries the team is dealing with.

Mitchell is set to miss a ninth consecutive game while recovering from an abdominal strain. His next chance to play is Wednesday against the Suns, though the second-year pro does not have a clear timeline for a return.

Williams could miss a second straight game due to a lingering knee injury. If he is unable to go, Yang Hansen could see extra minutes while backing up Donovan Clingan.

Embiid has been a mainstay on the 76ers' injury report this season, and there's a chance he is sidelined for Monday's road tilt while managing a right knee injury. His absence would likely result in Andre Drummond entering the Sixers' starting five.

Avdija could miss a fifth straight game due to a back injury. Jerami Grant and Sidy Cissoko figure to see larger roles if Avdija is unable to suit up.

Sharpe will miss a second straight game due to a left calf injury. Vit Krejci and Blake Wesley are candidates for increased minutes with Sharpe sidelined.

Williams' absence from the injury report indicates that he will return Monday from a 10-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, which would bolster a Thunder team without their superstar point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique). Williams' return would likely result in Aaron Wiggins or Isaiah Hartenstein moving to a bench role.

Murray will miss a 17th straight game due to a back injury. He remains without a timetable for return, but his next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Curry will miss a fourth straight game due to a right knee injury. It remains unclear when Curry is expected to return, but it wouldn't be shocking if he remains sidelined until after the All-Star break. Pat Spencer, De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski are candidates for increased roles with Curry sidelined.

Ayton was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness. It appears the veteran center will play Monday, though he could be held out for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Tuesday against the Spurs. Ayton's return would lead to Jaxson Hayes reverting to a bench role.

Thiero has been sidelined since Dec. 30 due to a sprained right MCL. The Lakers haven't provided many updates regarding where he stands in his recovery, so he could end up being sidelined through the All-Star break.

Doncic will miss a second straight game due to a left hamstring strain. Austin Reaves figures to handle a larger workload offensively with Doncic sidelined, while Luke Kennard could also see extended minutes. Doncic will have a chance to return Tuesday against the Spurs for the second half of the back-to-back set.

Scheierman returned to the starting lineup Sunday after coming off the bench Friday and posted double figures in both points and rebounds. His 13 boards marked a career high and gave him his second career double-double, with the first coming in Wednesday's win over the Rockets. While he isn't a primary option for the Celtics, Scheierman has made the most of his opportunities as of late.

McDermott has been out of the rotation for the most part of late, but he could miss Monday's game due to a shoulder injury. If he is unable to go, Daeqwon Plowden figures to see an expanded role, considering De'Andre Hunter (eye), Zach LaVine (finger) and Malik Monk (illness) have already been ruled out for Monday's contest.

White finished one point shy of his third straight 20-point outing, trailing only Jaylen Brown in scoring for the Celtics during a lopsided loss. While his efficiency can fluctuate, White's high-volume three-point shooting remains a constant, as he entered Sunday averaging 2.9 made threes per game and has now knocked down at least three triples in 28 of 51 appearances this season.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring but came up empty from beyond the arc in a lopsided loss. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined, Brown has impressively carried the offensive load this season, entering Sunday averaging a career-high 29.5 points and now scoring at least 20 points in 15 straight appearances.

Alvarado made an immediate impact in his Knicks debut, reaching double figures and recording three stocks off the bench. In 41 games with the Pelicans this season, the scrappy guard averaged 7.9 points, 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 21.9 minutes per contest. While his role may fluctuate from night to night, Alvarado projects as a high-energy reserve capable of providing consistent defensive intensity for head coach Mike Brown.

Towns returned from a one-game absence due to an eye injury and recorded a double-double, though it came with a muted scoring effort. The big man's scoring has trended down of late, as he entered Sunday averaging just 14.6 points over his previous eight contests. His work on the glass has remained steady, however, with Towns hauling in double-digit rebounds in 38 of 49 appearances this season.

Tyson could miss his first game since Nov. 19 due to a left ankle sprain. If he is unable to go, Sam Merrill and Keon Ellis are candidates for increased minutes.

Wade is dealing with a left ankle sprain that prevented him from playing against the Kings on Saturday, but he has a chance to be cleared to return Monday. Jaylon Tyson will likely remain in the Cavaliers' starting lineup if Wade is unable to play.

Tillman is on track to make his debut with the Hornets after being acquired from the Celtics on Thursday. Tillman is unlikely to see many minutes with his new team, given that he appeared in just three games for Boston since Christmas Day.

Branham was traded from the Mavericks on Thursday and remains away from the team. His next opportunity to suit up comes Wednesday against the Hawks.

Huff finished Sunday's game as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (18 points), and the former has recorded two blocks in four of his last five outings. Huff has started in each of the Pacers' last four games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as newcomer Ivica Zubac (ankle) is sidelined.

Sabonis could miss a third straight game due to a lingering back injury. If he is unable to go, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell figure to see expanded roles.

LaVine will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to right finger soreness, and his last opportunity to suit up before the All-Star break is Wednesday against the Jazz. Nique Clifford and Devin Carter should see more minutes in LaVine's absence.

Siakam accrued all of his stats through the first three quarters, as he and two other Pacers starters sat out for the entire fourth quarter. He has failed to reach the 20-point threshold in two consecutive games after doing so in each of his 10 prior outings. Siakam has averaged 23.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.8 threes over 33.6 minutes per game since the new year.

Daniels may have tweaked his ankle during the Hawks' loss to the Hornets on Saturday, when he logged 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes. CJ McCollum, Gabe Vincent and Buddy Hield figure to be the top candidates to enter Atlanta's starting lineup if Daniels is unable to play Monday.

Hunter has been diagnosed with iritis after being hit in the eye during Friday's game against the Clippers, putting him out until after the All-Star break. Daeqwon Plowden and Nique Clifford are candidates for increased minutes with Hunter sidelined.

Jackson-Davis was cleared to make his Raptors four days after being acquired from the Warriors, and he saw meaningful minutes off the bench in the absence of Jakob Poeltl (back). Jackson-Davis gave the Pacers fits on the boards, logging a season-high eight offensive rebounds, which led to him attempting 10 free throws for the first time this season. With Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili also on the roster, it's unclear what kind of playing time Jackson-Davis will see once Poeltl is cleared to return.

Barrett was cleared to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to right knee injury management. He scored 13 of his 20 points in the second half and finished as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (25 points). Barrett has scored 20-plus points in two of his last three outings and has averaged 15.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 threes over his last seven games.

The Pistons converted Daniss Jenkins' two-way deal to a standard contract, and to make room on the roster, Saric will be waived. Saric will be free to join a team of his choosing upon clearing waivers, but it's unlikely he'll land in a spot that gives him any relevance in fantasy leagues.

Brunson enjoyed a scoring resurgence Sunday, leading all players with an efficient 31 points after managing just 12 points (4-20 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT) in Friday's loss to the Pistons. Prolific scoring has been a constant for the 29-year-old, as he's reached the 30-point mark 20 times this season. The star guard also led the game in assists, marking the 15th time this campaign he's dished out eight-plus dimes.

Jenkins has been on a two-way contract with the Pistons, but he has now been signed to a standard contract with a team option for the 2026-27 season. Jenkins, who has averaged 8.2 points, 3.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game across 42 contests this season, has seen an increased role of late, scoring in double figures in three of his last four appearances. Over that stretch, he has averaged 13.5 points in just 17.8 minutes per game.

Barnes led the Raptors in scoring Sunday despite not attempting a three-pointer and showed off his elite defensive chops by finishing with at least six stocks for the sixth time this season. Barnes has logged a double-double in four of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.4 blocks and 0.9 steals over 33.6 minutes per contest.

Holland has seen an increased role over the past two games due to the injury to Jalen Duren (knee), but he will be unavailable for Monday's contest due to personal reasons. With Duren expected to return to action Monday, Isaiah Stewart figures to be the main beneficiary of Holland's absence.

Saric has yet to make his debut with the Pistons since being sent from Chicago to Sacramento on Jan. 31 before being rerouted to Detroit on Tuesday. His next chance to play for the Pistons is Wednesday against the Raptors, though he doesn't appear to be a part of Detroit's plans for now.

George sprained his right ankle during Saturday's loss to Orlando and will now miss Monday's game in Miami, which will open up more minutes for Isaiah Collier and Vince Williams. For now, George should be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's game versus Sacramento, the front end of a back-to-back set.

Dunn has been ejected from Sunday's game after getting into a scuffle with Julius Randle. He concludes the contest with nine points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and a steal in 28 minutes.

Jones will need to clear concussion protocol before he's allowed to return, and he's not there yet. Monday will mark his second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Duren missed Friday's game against the Knicks due to right knee soreness, but he will likely return to action Monday. Over his last five non-injury-shortened games, Duren is averaging 19.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest.

Jokic is dealing with a minor ankle ailment, but it doesn't sound like he's in any danger of missing Monday's game. Check back for official confirmation on Jokic's status closer to Monday's tip.

Braun is still working through a lingering left ankle injury, but he is on track to play in a fourth consecutive game. He has averaged 7.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 33.7 minutes per game over his last three outings.

Murray exited Saturday's win over the Bulls after tweaking his left hip, and now he's in danger of sitting out Monday's game. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if Murray is forced to the sidelines, Jalen Pickett would be in line for a start, and guys like Cameron Johnson and Christian Braun would be asked to step it up on offense.

Thomas was waived by the Nets on Thursday after the team was unable to find a trade partner to unload him. Shortly after clearing waivers, Thomas has agreed to a deal to join Milwaukee, a team struggling with depth at the guard positions. Coming off two straight seasons in which he averaged over 22.0 points per game, Thomas had seen a decreased role in Brooklyn through 24 games this season, averaging 15.6 points in 24.3 minutes per contest. In Milwaukee, Thomas should see a substantial role in the backcourt alongside Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter, especially while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains sidelined.

With Porter watching from the sidelines Monday, Terance Mann could return to the first unit, and there will be more minutes available for Ziaire Williams. Noah Clowney should also see a sizeable uptick in usage with Porter unavailable. For now, Porter should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.

Monday's game is not part of a back-to-back set and Demin only logged 26 minutes his last time out, so it's a bit surprising that he's getting hit with a random rest day. Michael Porter (knee) will join Demin on the sidelines Monday evening, so guys like Nolan Traore and Noah Clowney should be very busy on offense. Meanwhile, Demin's next chance to take the floor will come Wednesday against the Pacers.

Furphy came down awkwardly on his right leg after throwing down a dunk, and he was in significant pain, clutching at his right knee. He needed a wheelchair to get to the locker room, so while the team is currently calling this a "sore right leg," that injury designation will likely be updated once he undergoes further testing. For now, Furphy should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's game in New York.

This is the first time that Murray has participated in a practice since tearing his Achilles in January 2025, so this is a significant step in his rehab. He'll likely need to get through multiple full-contact practices before he's cleared to return, but it does seem like there's a chance Murray will be able to get back to the court at some point this season.

It sounds like Russell will not be a part of the team in D.C., and this situation could be headed towards a buyout. Russell fell out of the rotation in Dallas and became a throw-in player in the Anthony Davis deal, but there doesn't appear to be much of a market for the veteran point guard.

Wagner has missed the past nine games for the Magic with an ankle injury, but this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down, which indicates progress. We'll have a better idea on Wagner's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he's cleared to return, Anthony Black might head back to the second unit.

Kuzma missed Friday's win over the Pacers with some soreness in his left calf, but it looks like he'll be back in the fray Monday. Kuzma's return will likely result in Jericho Sims heading back to the second unit.

Nix was held three assists short of achieving a second straight triple-double, but he still put together a stellar effort. He has generated some momentum in two starts since returning from a short injury absence and could remain a versatile contributor going forward. Nix's regular-season averages of 20.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game currently rank among the top three for Vipers players, with the latter representing the highest figure on the squad.

Abogidi has been a consistent starter lately, but he's currently without a firm return timeline. Tyler Smith will fill in at center for any games Abogidi misses. Prior to suffering the injury, Abogidi was averaging 16.3 points per contest over his previous three appearances.

Ingram continued to impress in G League action, as he reached double digits in rebounds for the 11th time in his last 13 games. Despite being signed to a two-way contract, the 23-year-old forward has barely appeared for the parent club this season. At the G League level, he's leading his team with an average of 12.0 rebounds per contest.

Flagler was busy off the bench in his return from an undisclosed issue that sidelined him since November. He's now ready to play a role in the final stretch of the G League regular season, joining Kyle Mangas and Donovan Williams in Austin's rotation.

Murray-Boyles just can't seem to shake this thumb injury, so it'll be interesting to see if he plays Wednesday against the Pistons, or if the Raptors opt to hold him out for their final game heading into the All-Star break. Murray-Boyles finished Sunday's game with two points (1-1 FG), one block and one turnover across eight minutes.

George tweaked his ankle, and with the Wizards down by 30-plus points entering the fourth quarter, they'll opt to hold out George for the remainder of the game. He'll end his afternoon with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two turnovers in 19 minutes.

The Heat were ahead by 32 points entering the fourth quarter, which may have influenced Miami's decision to hold Powell out for the remainder of the game, with the team scheduled to play again Monday versus the Jazz. Powell will finish with 21 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, one steal and one turnover in 25 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday.

Sharp finished with game-high tallies in rebounds and blocks, even though he served as a second-unit player during the loss. Sharp's G-League-high 4.1 blocks per game are a particularly valuable part of his contributions, but he continues to compete with Moussa Cisse for frontcourt minutes.

Nembhard made his second straight appearance for the Legends, posting similar numbers to those of his previous game. The two-way player was regularly involved at the NBA level between November and January, featuring in a bench role during his most recent outings. However, he's now expected to see meaningful action as a starter for the G League team.

Jeffries led his side's offense while contributing on both ends of the floor Saturday, extending his solid run of form of the last few matchups. In addition to tallying at least 28 points in each of the last three games, the forward has now recorded exactly eight rebounds in four of his last five appearances.

Seabron put in a solid effort despite being part of the second unit for the fourth straight game. Additionally, his 10 assists locked in his first double-double of the current campaign. With more than 15 points in each of his last five outings, Seabron could continue to serve as a reliable source of production even if he remains in a bench role.

Cleveland extended his streak to three consecutive double-doubles with a superb performance that included season-high tallies of points and rebounds. He has found considerable success in 12 games played for the Stars since moving from the Texas Legends in January, and he should continue to offer all-around value throughout the season.

Jones is on track to sit out his 10th consecutive game Monday, and it appears Josh Giddey (hamstring) will be joining him on the sidelines. With both Jones and Giddey expected to sit Monday, Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton will soak up the guard minutes for Chicago.

Pate led his team in scoring in this contest while achieving his most three-pointers since Jan. 9. The youngster has been inconsistent in terms of efficiency, but he has seen plenty of minutes on the court, and his regular-season averages of 18.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game rank fourth and third, respectively, among Westchester players.

Smith has been working through a right calf strain since late January, which has caused him to miss three of the Bulls' last five games. If he's unable to play Monday, then Guerschon Yabusele would likely start for the Bulls while Nick Richards and Patrick Williams will each get a bump in minutes off the bench.

RJ Barrett is back and starting, so Walter will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Walter owns averages of 6.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.1 triples per contest.

It appears Giddey will miss a seventh consecutive contest while rehabbing a left hamstring strain. Assuming he's ruled out, his last chance to appear in a game before the All-Star break would be Wednesday against the Celtics.

Bernard had a massive performance during Saturday's victory, posting his first triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign and raising his season averages to 22.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per contest. Having surpassed the 20-point threshold in nine of his last eight outings, the guard is likely to remain highly reliable for scoring production. He'll also look to continue his upward trend in boards and assists going forward.

Brown filled his usual role off the bench and did a good job on the boards Saturday. He'll look to remain a reliable source of rebounds now that he's back in action, pushing for playing time behind Rocco Zikarsky and Enrique Freeman.

Banton agreed to a 10-day contract with the Clippers on Saturday and will suit up Sunday now that the deal has been made official. The 26-year-old is unlikely to factor into the LA rotation, though he'll provide depth at guard and on the wing while trade-deadline pickups Darius Garland (toe) and Bennedict Mathurin aren't available.

As expected, Quickley will power through the ankle issue and make himself available for Sunday's game. Quickley is averaging 17.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 2.6 triples and 1.3 steals per game this season.

Johnson was unavailable and missed his chance to increase a streak of four double-doubles in G League play. Even though the Wolves managed a victory in his absence, a stretch of missed games would be impactful considering Johnson leads Iowa in both rebounds and steals. Donte Ingram may have more chances to start for as long as Johnson remains out.

Potter is dealing with a bruised hip, but he'll push through the pain and make himself available for Sunday's game. Potter is averaging 6.8 points per game on 43.8 percent shooting from the field and 90.6 percent at the stripe this season.

Nesmith popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a left elbow sprain, but the sixth-year pro has been given the green light by medical staff to play Sunday. He has averaged 16.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.8 threes over 32.2 minutes per game over his last six outings.

Shulga almost got a double-double during a fine all-around display. The 35 points represented a season-high mark for the two-way player, who has seen most of his action with the G League squad. He's in good form in the lower-level league after racking up a total of 58 points and 18 assists across his last two games played.

Ward was prevented from playing his 30th game of the season for the G League Celtics, and it was Jalen Bridges who featured at center against Iowa. Ward's return timeline remains uncertain for the moment.

The Timberwolves acquired Phillips and Ayo Dosunmu from the Bulls on Thursday. The former was originally tabbed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a right wrist sprain, but Phillips has been given the green light to make his debut with Minnesota. He averaged 9.5 minutes per game off the bench with the Bulls and will provide the Timberwolves with frontcourt depth behind Naz Reid, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert.

Tonje will have to wait a little bit longer to make his organizational debut after the Celtics acquired the two-way player from the Jazz on Thursday. Prior to the trade, Tonje had yet to appear at the NBA level this season but had averaged 17.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game in 33 contests in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars.

The rookie first-rounder is coming off a career performance Saturday against the Nets, when he tallied 27 points, three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers over 45 minutes. Riley has seen more playing time as of late and has averaged 19.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.0 steals over his last five outings, but he will come off the bench Sunday due to the returns of Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George.

Watkins will revert to a bench role Sunday due to the returns of Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George. Watkins started against Brooklyn on Saturday and finished with 13 points, one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 45 minutes.

Vukcevic will revert to a bench role Sunday due to the return of Alex Sarr. Vukcevic started in Saturday's loss to the Nets, logging 14 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer over 20 minutes.

Omier contributed to every statistical category, with the highlight of his performance his game-high 16 boards. He also secured a double-double for the ninth time in his last 10 starts, establishing himself as the G League leader on the season with 21 double-doubles overall.

Gardner will enter the Heat's starting lineup for the third time in five games while Pelle Larsson (elbow) takes a seat. Gardner's last start took place Tuesday in Miami's loss to Atlanta, during which he logged 14 points, six rebounds, two steals and two three-pointers over 22 minutes.

Alatishe apparently suffered a setback with the knee issue that forced him to miss multiple games between January and early February. The forward, who is averaging 6.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game thus far in the G League regular season, will remain questionable for future contests. However, even if he returns quickly, he'll likely serve as a depth option behind Riley Minix and Tristan Enaruna.

Quickley was added to the Raptors' injury report after he sprained his ankle during Saturday's practice. It appears the sixth-year pro will give it a go Sunday, but expect Jamal Shead to see an uptick in minutes if the Raptors opt to limit Quickley's playing time.

While Poeltl won't play Sunday, he's reportedly "very close" to getting back to the court. Per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Poeltl went through a full practice Saturday, and at this stage, his main focus has been getting reconditioned after his back injury has kept him from playing since Dec. 21. Poeltl's next chance to play will come Wednesday versus the Pistons.

Brown stood out as his side's top scorer and was effective on the other end of the floor as well despite coming off the bench in Saturday's win. Although he hasn't started since Dec. 21, the guard has had occasional production bursts and has even contributed a couple of triple-doubles. He has also shot an impressive 59.1 percent over his last two games.

The second-year big man had appeared in each of the Hawks' last 17 games, but he saw that streak come to an end Saturday while head coach Quin Snyder went with Jock Landale and Asa Newell as the reserve options in the frontcourt as starting center Onyeka Okongwu (dental fracture) made his return from a four-game absence. While Gueye could supplant Newell as the team's preferred backup option at power forward in future games, the eventual return of Jonathan Kuminga (knee) at some point after the All-Star break will likely leave both Gueye and Newell outside of the rotation when Atlanta is at full strength.

Vukcevic is dealing with some soreness in his right knee, but he'll power through and will be available for Sunday's game. Vukcevic is averaging 7.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game this season.

Coulibaly is working through a lower-back issue that sidelined him for Saturday's game against the Nets, but the third-year pro has been cleared to play in the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday. Coulibaly is averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 26.6 minutes per game this season, all of which are lower than his numbers during the 2024-25 campaign.

George is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, so he should see his usual minutes as a starter Sunday. His return will likely send Will Riley back to the bench, and Keshon Gilbert's minutes could dip.

Sarr sat out of the front end of the Wizards' back-to-back set Saturday against the Nets while managing an ankle injury, but the second-year center has been cleared to return for Sunday's matinee. He has averaged 16.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks over 28.1 minutes per game since the start of the new calendar year.

McNeeley recovered from a back injury during the week but ended up suffering an ankle injury at some point recently. McNeeley has failed to find a role in the Hornets' rotation over the last few weeks and is on assignment in the G League with the Swarm, for which he has posted 20-plus points in three successive starts. However, if he remains out due to the injury, his spot could be filled by Jaylen Sims.

Gill was unable to shake his questionable tag for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Wizards could be very thin up front Sunday and may use a committee approach to soak up the minutes.

Badji had been relegated to a second-unit role over the previous three games, but he was excluded from the rotation Saturday due to the hip issue. While the extent of the injury is still unknown, PJ Hall could continue to see increased action until Badji is ready to play again.

Buzelis led the Bulls in scoring Saturday, posting his 15th 20-plus point game of the season and fourth in his last seven outings. With Nikola Vucevic and Coby White (calf) traded to the Celtics and Hornets, respectively, Buzelis has had the opportunity to step into a larger role offensively for the rest of the season, and even more so in the absence of Josh Giddey (hamstring). Buzelis has averaged 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.7 threes and 2.0 blocks over his last three appearances.

Pierre's short-term status remains unclear for the time being. He has seen limited minutes off the bench throughout the season, so this issue shouldn't alter the Go-Go's rotation.

Carton was highly efficient, with his 66.7 percent shooting from the field tying his best mark in his last 11 G League contests. Despite having a somewhat inconsistent campaign, Carton is among his team's top three contributors of both points and assists during the 2025-26 regular season.

Saturday marked Sexton's first appearance in a Bulls uniform, three days after being traded by the Hornets. The veteran guard put together a nice scoring line in his Chicago debut and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Matas Buzelis (21 points). Sexton may have a harder time finding minutes off the bench once Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) return from their respective injuries.

Oduro bounced back following an eight-day period of inactivity and showed no signs of being out of form, as he delivered his highest totals of points and rebounds in the current campaign. He's now averaging 15.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while recording six double-doubles across 29 appearances.

This is an expected update after Powell was upgraded from questionable to probable early Sunday morning. Sunday marks the front end of a back-to-back set for the Heat, so it will be interesting to see how his hand holds up for these games.

Adebayo popped up on the injury report due to right hip tightness, but he was tagged as probable and wasn't in real danger of missing Sunday's contest. The veteran big man has averaged 21.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 32.6 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Cleared to play for the first time since Jan. 25 after a five-game absence due to a left quad strain, Sochan remained outside of head coach Mitch Johnson's rotation but was able to make a cameo in garbage time when the Spurs had the win in hand. After averaging at least 25 minutes per game through his first three seasons in the league, Sochan has dropped down to 12.8 per contest over his 28 appearances in 2025-26 while San Antonio has emerged as a leading contender in the Western Conference. The 22-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent this summer, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Spurs declined to extend him a qualifying offer or eventually rescinded a qualifying offer to allow him to explore his options on the open market.

Williams showed off his all-around skill set in Saturday's contest, recording one of his best performances of the season in rebounds and assists while also generating a season-high scoring mark. The 29-year-ol's double-double was also his eighth of the campaign through 31 games.

While Tatum remains without a timeline to make his 2025-26 debut after undergoing surgery May 13 to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, he's continuing to reach new milestones in his rehab process and thus far appears to have avoided any major setbacks. Per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com, Tatum said Jan. 29 that he hasn't decided whether he'll attempt to play at any point this season, and if he does make a late-season return, the Celtics aren't expected to clear him until he's 100 percent confident in his surgically repaired Achilles. The rehab and recovery process for Achilles surgeries is typically around 9-to-12 months, with Wesley Matthews and Kobe Bryant being the lone past examples of NBA players who have returned from the injury in eight months or fewer.

Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so Scheierman will enter the Celtics' starting five for the seventh time this season (all of which have come since Jan. 12). Scheierman's last start was in Wednesday's 114-93 win over the Rockets, when he posted 15 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes in what was the first double-double of his two-year NBA career.

Hardaway led the Nuggets' bench in scoring and finished on the team in that category. It was his 12th game of at least 20 points, three of which have come over his last six outings. Hardaway has connected on 40.4 percent of his three-point attempts since the new year, and since then has averaged 15.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.1 threes over 29.1 minutes per game.

Chandler ranked second on his team in scoring thanks to a season-high contribution of five three-pointers against the Herd. The guard bounced back from a short absence due to his ankle injury and quickly regained a starting spot. Thus, he could be one of the squad's main assets in upcoming action, limiting Kellen Tynes to a bench role.

It was another masterful performance out of the three-time MVP, who set a season high with 17 dimes en route to his league-leading 18th triple-double of the season while leading the Nuggets with a plus-36 point differential. In his five outings since returning from a 16-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise, Jokic has averaged 24.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 33.0 minutes per contest while connecting on 51.3 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Johnson was given the green light to return Saturday from a 23-game absence due to a right knee bone bruise. He rejoined the starting five and turned in a modest stat line, though he finished second on the Nuggets' with a plus-21 point differential. Johnson will likely have his minutes monitored for another game or two while he works his way back into top condition.

Davis performed well above his average of 5.1 rebounds per game, earning his first double-double of the season Saturday. It was his third consecutive appearance off the bench, and he remained relatively valuable by producing on both ends of the floor. Still, it's unclear if he'll eventually be able to regain a starting role.

OG Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game, so Shamet will take the former's place in the Knicks' starting lineup alongside Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns. It will be Shamet's seventh start of the season and first since Nov. 22 against the Magic. He has averaged 14.5 points, 2.0 assists. 1.8 rebounds and 3.8 threes over 26.0 minutes per game over his last four outings.

Cleared to make his Jazz debut after he was acquired from the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Konchar was part of the team's initial 10-man rotation to open the first half of Saturday's contest. The defensive-minded wing produced well during his time on the court, but Konchar's minutes could still remain volatile over the final few months of the season. The Jazz are clearly prioritizing player development over wins, and the 29-year-old Konchar may not be part of the club's long-term plans, so it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually fell out of the rotation.

Sears put together a well-rounded performance that included a team-high scoring total despite his team's offensive struggles during the game. Sears also shot above 50 percent from the field for the third time in his last 10 contests. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to put together a string of productive performances such as Saturday's, as he's struggled with consistency throughout the campaign to date.

Green was cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a left hip contusion and right hamstring and hip injury management, making what was just his sixth appearance of the 2025-26 regular season. Given the extensive time he's missed over the last few months, the fifth-year guard will likely continue to come off the bench for the foreseeable future and will have his minutes monitored while he rebuilds his conditioning. The Suns' last two games before the All-Star break will be part of a back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday versus the Mavericks and Thunder, respectively, and Green will be a candidate to sit out one of those contests.

After signing a standard contract with the team for the rest of the season, Spencer could be in line for games like this on a consistent basis. Over his last three games, he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.7 made threes . While Stephen Curry recovers from a knee injury, Spencer could assume lead backcourt duties for Golden State.
