    Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Pours in 26 points Friday
    2h ago

    Mathurin recorded 26 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 119-108 win over the Bulls.

    Mathurin scored at least 20 points for the fourth straight game, providing the Clippers with a reliable scoring punch off the bench. In typical fashion, Mathurin's peripheral contributions have left a little to be desired, dragging down his overall fantasy value. If you need points and out-of-position rebounds, make sure Mathurin isn't somehow available in your league.

    Clippers' Derrick Jones: Elite two-way production continues
    2h ago

    Jones provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 119-108 victory over the Bulls.

    Jones continues to produce on both ends of the floor, scoring double digits for the eighth time in the past nine games. He has also recorded 15 combined steals and blocks in his past three games, flirting with top 20 value during that time. For now, Jones has to be added in all leagues, at least until John Collins (neck) is cleared to return.

    Richards registered 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers.

    Richards moved into the starting lineup for the first time since joining the Bulls, filling in for Jalen Smith, who was given the night off as part of his injury-management plan. Richards has now tallied double-digit points in four straight games, averaging 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks during that time.

    Bulls' Tre Jones: Another 20-point performance
    2h ago

    Jones accumulated 21 points (10-11 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers.

    Jones amassed at least 20 points for the third time in the past five games, having seen at least 30 minutes in his past four appearances. Although his steal numbers have been largely disappointing, his assists are keeping his overall value afloat, to the point where he should be considered a must-add player across most formats.

    Bulls' Leonard Miller: Sizeable role continues

    Miller finished Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers with 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

    Miller logged at least 30 minutes for the third straight game, continuing to put himself firmly on the standard league radar. Miller has averaged 15.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making him a top 80 player during that span. While there are no guarantees when it comes to playing time in Chicago, Miller is certainly worth taking a short-term flier on, just in case he earns himself a permanent role.

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Drops 32 points in victory

    Durant finished Friday's 107-105 win over the Pelicans with 32 points (13-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 40 minutes.

    With Alperen Sengun (back) unavailable, Durant was much more aggressive on the offensive end in this one. After scoring 11 points on eight field-goal attempts in Wednesday's blowout loss to Denver, the superstar dropped a team-high 32 points Friday, including a go-ahead mid-range jumper and two clutch free throws down the stretch. He reached the 30-point threshold for the sixth time across 13 outings since the All-Star break. Durant has also tallied five assists in back-to-back games and has reached that mark in three of his last five appearances.

    Post won't return to Friday's game against Minnesota due to a left ankle sprain. He'll finish the game with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes.

    Post will join fellow big men Draymond Green (back) and Al Horford (calf) on the sidelines for the remainder of the contest, leaving Kristaps Porzingis and Gui Santos to pick up the slack. Post's next opportunity to play will come in New York on Sunday.

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Chips in full stat line
    7h ago

    Zubac contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    Zubac made his second appearance for Indiana, and he saw a big jump in playing time after logging only 16 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Suns. The 29-year-old big man's availability might be sporadic for the last-place Pacers down the stretch, but he should remain quite effective when available. Dating back to his time with the Clippers, Zubac has averaged 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.6 minutes per tilt across his last seven games while shooting a robust 70.5 percent from the field.

    Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Sets career high in win
    8h ago

    Robinson recorded 12 points (6-10 FG), 22 rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 31 minutes in Friday's 101-92 win over Indiana.

    With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined, Robinson got the starting nod for the first time since Feb. 6. The big man made the most of his season-high 31 minutes, scoring in double figures for just the third time since the All-Star break. More notably, the 27-year-old center grabbed a game- and career-best 22 rebounds, securing his fourth double-double of the season and his 20th outing with 10 or more boards. He also tallied multiple blocks and multiple steals for the fourth time this season and for the first time since Jan. 24.

    Horford won't return to Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to right calf tightness. He'll finish with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes.

    Horford logged just under five minutes before checking out, and he was ruled out for the remainder of the contest before the end of the opening quarter. With the veteran big man joining Draymond Green (back) on the sidelines, Quinten Post will help pick up the slack the rest of the way. Horford's next chance to play will come Sunday in New York.

    8h ago

    Powell ended Friday's 138-105 loss to Cleveland with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes.

    Powell had mostly been out of the rotation the past three games, but with Daniel Gafford taking a rest day and Marvin Bagley getting abused by Evan Mobley, Powell got some time to shine in the blowout loss. This was his third double-double of the season, but he'll likely return to being a fringe rotation player Sunday in Cleveland with Gafford expected back for that one.

    Walker posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    Walker continues to produce for the Pacers, coming close to what would've been his fourth double-double of the year. Even when Pascal Siakam (knee) returns, Walker appears to be solidified as a starter. Walker has started 13 consecutive games, during which he has averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

    Stewart produced 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Friday's 126-110 win over the Grizzlies.

    Stewart continues to serve up adequate production, although given the current injury situation in Detroit, managers have likely been disappointed. Despite Ausar Thompson's absence due to an ankle injury, Stewart's playing time has remained steady. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has been nothing more than a top-160 player, averaging 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 22.5 minutes per contest over that stretch.

    Hendricks moved into the starting lineup for the second time in the past three games, although he was unable to repeat his heroics from the night before. However, while his offensive production was lacking in this one, he has now recorded 12 combined steals-plus-blocks in his past four games. During that time, he has been a borderline top-50 player, averaging 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

    Mobley produced 29 points (12-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 138-105 win over the Mavericks.

    Mobley tied his season high in points, and he got whatever he wanted throughout the game. The 24-year-old big man is flirting with top-40 value on the season behind averages of 17.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 triples and 1.9 blocks per game.

    Murray (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

    Re-evaluated doesn't mean Murray will return in two weeks, and with the Kings holding the worst record in the Western Conference, there's not much incentive for the fourth-year forward to rush back to the court. Precious Achiuwa has been the primary beneficiary in Murray's absence thus far.

    Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) didn't suit up Friday, which gave Anunoby the opportunity to step into a larger role offensively. Anunoby missed some time with a toe injury back in February, but he's found a groove since working his way back from the issue.

With Ausar Thompson still sidelined due to an ankle injury, Holland has seen his role increase during that three-game span. However, with Thompson nearing a return, Holland's value could evaporate at any point, making him a tough player to roster with confidence.

    Flagg got off to a slow start, scoring just six points on 2-for-8 shooting in the first half, but he flipped the script after halftime. This was his most points and free throws since returning from the foot injury, and it's encouraging to see him starting to regain his rhythm.

    Bridges continues to endure a rough patch as a scorer, as he's now scored fewer than 12 points in five consecutive games. Although the 29-year-old swingman remains locked into a starting role for the Knicks, Bridges is averaging just 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game over his last five outings, shooting a miserable 32.5 percent from the field during that stretch.

The rookie first-rounder's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Kings, though he'll first need to prove he's healthy enough to suit up.

    It was the fifth time this season that Allen attempted 10 free throws in a game. He scored 12 of his 15 points in the first quarter and finished as the Suns' third-leading scorer behind Jalen Green (34 points) and Devin Booker (31 points).

As he has done for much of the season, Green made the most of his time on the floor, particularly on the defensive end, where he recorded three steals for the third straight game.

While his per-game numbers have been more than adequate, he has appeared in only seven games in the past month despite being relatively healthy.

    Nembhard didn't put together his finest effort, but it was notable to see him play both ends of a back-to-back set for the first time since December. The fourth-year guard will likely remain a candidate for occasional workload management in the final month of the regular season, but he should remain productive for fantasy managers when available.

The All-Star floor general turned in his highest-scoring output since the Feb. 19 loss to the Pistons, reaching the 20-point plateau in his fourth straight game.

However, he has scored in double figures in four of the past five games, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers during that span, which is good enough for top-60 value.
