  • James Wiseman: Waived by Indiana

    The Pacers waived Wiseman on Friday.

    Wiseman signed a 10-day contract back on Dec. 20, so he won't finish out his short-term deal. He made a total of three appearances during this stint, totaling 37 minutes.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Solid display in limited minutes

    Jackson-Davis racked up 10 points (5-6 FG), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 13 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 win over the Mavericks.

    Jackson-Davis achieved a season-high scoring count by shooting 83.3 percent from the field during Thursday's clash. Having made just one start this season, he's not expected to be favored over Quinten Post at center but could continue to see action off the bench in upcoming contests.

  • Bam Adebayo C | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Downgraded to doubtful

    Adebayo (back) is now doubtful for Friday's game against the Hawks.

    Adebayo was previously listed as questionable for Miami. With the center expected to sit out, Kel'el Ware could have a higher floor Friday, and more minutes will be available for someone like Jaime Jaquez.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Massive outing versus Timberwolves

    Jokic finished with 56 points (15-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 22-23 FT), 16 rebounds, 15 assists and two blocks across 43 minutes during Thursday's 142-138 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.

    Jokic notched a season-high scoring tally along with his 15th triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign. The star player has exceeded 40 points and 10 rebounds in three consecutive games and has recorded at least a double-double in all except one of his last 17 starts. Additionally, he has more than twice as many triple-doubles as any other player in the league.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Another quiet outing

    Allen closed with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 loss to the Knicks.

    Allen's output continues to leave a lot to be desired, as well as his workloads. Evan Mobley returned from his injury Thursday, but he came off the bench and saw just 25 minutes with the team easing him back into things. Over Allen's last six games, he's averaging 11.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks in 24.9 minutes per contest.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Excellent line in limited minutes

    Horford (sciatica) tallied 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 11 minutes Thursday in the Warriors' 126-116 win over the Mavericks.

    Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 4 after missing the Warriors' previous seven games due to right sciatic nerve irritation, Horford was operating with a significant minutes restriction but still delivered solid production during his limited time on the court. Prior to missing time with the injury, Horford was averaging 21.4 minutes per game in 13 appearances, so despite his solid showing Thursday, he's unlikely to see enough playing time once he's fully ramped up to draw much intrigue outside of deeper fantasy leagues.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-double in Christmas Day win

    Sengun amassed 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-96 win over the Lakers.

    Sengun shook off a questionable tag related to left calf tightness and came through with his 16th double-double of the season in a Christmas Day victory. The fifth-year center has been excellent overall, though the three-point shot has been absent, as he hasn't attempted one in the past two games and is 0-for-14 from deep over the past eight contests since his last make Dec. 1.

  • Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA

    Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Omitted from injury report

    Nurkic (rest) isn't listed on Utah's injury report for Friday's game in Detroit.

    Nurkic is slated to return to action after resting during the second leg of a back-to-back set against Memphis on Tuesday. He's missed three games in December, but Nurkic continues to be productive when available, averaging 11.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 0.7 steals in 25.6 minutes per game.

  • Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-double against Spurs

    Holmgren notched 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Thursday's 117-102 loss to San Antonio.

    The double-double was Holmgren's fifth of the season, and first since Nov. 11. The 23-year-old big looked none the worse for wear after leaving Tuesday's contest in the fourth quarter after getting popped in the face, and over his last 12 contests he's averaging 17.4 points, 7.8 boards, 1.4 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Nabs double-double in loss

    Hartenstein recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 117-102 loss to San Antonio.

    The double-double was his eighth of the season and first since Nov. 15, and Hartenstein has recorded either double-digit points or boards, but not both at the same time, in eight straight games since then while dealing with a calf issue. The 27-year-old center also played two straight games for the first time since late November, suggesting he might be close to getting back in form.
