Reed provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 18 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 win over the 76ers.

Reed provided a solid boost off the bench Saturday, and he was far more involved across the board than in his previous showing, when he was held to four points and four rebounds in 16 minutes Thursday against Minnesota. The DePaul product has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances and is averaging 11.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes during this stretch.

Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Sarr will miss a fifth straight game, including both halves of Washington's weekend back-to-back set. In his absence, Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is a candidate for increased playing time, but if he's also sidelined, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese would likely be thrust into expanded roles.

Bassey agreed to a contract with the Warriors on Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

After his second 10-day deal with the Celtics expired Saturday, Bassey was viewed as a candidate to rejoin Boston on a rest-of-season deal, but he'll instead move on to his fourth organization of the season in Golden State. Across stops with the Grizzlies, 76ers and Celtics on five total 10-day pacts, Bassey has appeared in eight games and has averaged 2.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 6.6 minutes per contest. He'll provide the Warriors with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt while the club is without Al Horford (soleus) and Quinten Post (foot).

Drummond closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 loss to the Pistons.

Drummond was elevated into the starting lineup, although he offered very little in terms of tangible production. At this point, Drummond's role is completely reliant on whether Joel Embiid (illness) is healthy. As we saw Saturday, even when Embiid is sidelined, Drummond's production is too inconsistent to warrant sustained attention. At best, he can be streamed in for rebounds, on occasion.

Jokic notched 40 points (13-25 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-15 FT), eight rebounds, 13 assists and three blocks in 44 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime win over San Antonio.

The 31-year-old won the duel of superstar centers, as Victor Wembanyama delivered 34 points, 18 boards, seven assists and five blocks in a losing effort. Jokic's double-double was his 53rd of the season, moving him into a tie for the league lead with Karl-Anthony Towns, and he has a seven-game double-double streak going in which he's produced five triple-doubles while averaging 25.9 points, 15.3 rebounds, 13.6 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks.

Wembanyama posted 34 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-17 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

The third-year superstar led the Spurs in scoring en route to his 41st double-double of the season, but Wembanyama was just a little less productive than Nikola Jokic, who led all scorers on the afternoon with 40 points. Wemby has pulled down at least 15 boards in six straight appearances, all double-doubles, and over that stretch he's averaging a massive 30.7 points, 16.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.0 blocks, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals as San Antonio tries to chase down OKC for the top seed in the Western Conference.

Ware supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks in 36 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards.

The double-double was the 24th of the season for the second-year center, and the points and boards were his best performances in those categories since a 28-19 effort against the Knicks on Dec. 21. The seven rejections also tied his career high, a mark he first set March 5 against the Nets. Ware has been locked in from long range over the last couple weeks, averaging 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.4 blocks in 20.0 minutes a contest while shooting 48.1 percent (13-for-27) from beyond the arc.

Bradley agreed Saturday with the Hawks on a rest-of-season contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

With Jock Landale (ankle) expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, the Hawks will bring in Bradley for some reinforcement in the frontcourt. The 28-year-old center had previously seen NBA action with the Pacers earlier this season while signed to a standard contract and a pair of 10-day deals. He made 37 appearances for Indiana, averaging 4.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 11.2 minutes.

Hall (ankle) is out for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Considering Hall is dealing with a fractured ankle, it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out Charlotte's remaining four games of the regular season. He's been a negligible part of the rotation, so Hall's playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

Drummond will start Saturday versus the Pistons, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Drummond is getting the spot start with Joel Embiid (oblique) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre and Paul George. As a starter this season, Drummond owns averages of 8.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
