  • Moussa Diabate PF | CHA

    Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Logs six rebounds Thursday

    Diabate ended with five points (2-4 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 victory over the Hawks.

    Diabate managed to lead his team in rebounds despite having limited playing time off the bench in the win. He has made a limited impact in recent action, but his involvement on the boards and occasional shooting numbers make him a decent second-unit option going forward.

  • Moe Wagner C | ORL

    Magic's Moritz Wagner: Back to NBA

    Orlando recalled Wagner (knee) from the G League's Osceola Magic on Thursday.

    Wagner hasn't played since December 2024 due to an ACL injury, but he's now aiming to return at some point in the current season. While not guaranteed to get minutes in the near future, Wagner has rejoined the NBA squad as he continues to ramp up his workload.

  • Desmond Bane SG | ORL

    Magic's Desmond Bane: Posts dud in loss

    Bane produced six points (3-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 loss to the Nuggets.

    For the sixth time this season, Bane was held to single-digit points. His usage rate fluctuates a lot in Orlando, but this can simply be chalked up to an off night during a tough matchup. For the season, Bane holds averages of 18.5 points, 4.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Extends block streak on Thursday

    Huff ended Thursday's 114-113 loss to the Knicks with six points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 18 minutes.

    Huff recorded two blocks in Thursday's loss to the Knicks and now has at least two swats in 21 straight games, including 13 consecutive games with two or more blocks. The 28-year-old center also pulled down double-digit boards for the first time since Nov. 9 against the Warriors. The Virginia product has started the past nine games for the Pacers, averaging 10.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 blocks, 2.0 threes and 1.9 assists in 24.6 minutes per game over that stretch.

  • Keegan Murray PF | SAC

    Kings' Keegan Murray: Posts full line in loss

    Murray had 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals across 43 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Murray can certainly stuff a box score when he's on, and he was certainly on fire in the overtime loss on both ends of the court. On a per-game basis, Murray is on pace to post third-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 15.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

  • Tyler Kolek PG | NY

    Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Records first career double-double

    Kolek chipped in 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 win over the Pacers.

    Kolek had a breakout game in the NBA Cup championship against the Spurs and put up a career-best performance in Thursday's win over the Pacers. The 24-year-old guard stuffed the stat in his most minutes off the bench this season, leading the team in assists and shooting an efficient 70 percent from the field. The Marquette product has taken advantage of Miles McBride (ankle) being out of the lineup, playing 20 or more minutes in two straight games after not surpassing 17 in any other appearance this season.

  • Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Posts double-double in victory

    Johnson recorded 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.

    Johnson achieved his first double-double of the campaign as he recorded more than six rebounds in a game for the first time this season. He has retained consistent playing time lately, establishing himself as a regular starter and contributing mainly to the scoring column while Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) remain sidelined.

  • Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Nearly double-doubles in loss

    Mathurin finished with 16 points (7-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to the Knicks.

    Mathurin made only two of nine shots from downtown and didn't attempt any free throws for just the second game this season. The 23-year-old forward has scored in double figures in all but one appearance this season and has gotten off to a solid start in December, averaging 16.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.7 steals while shooting 40 percent from three and 93.1 percent from the charity stripe in 31.9 minutes per game.

  • Cooper Flagg SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Another big line in win

    Flagg chipped in 23 points (8-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 overtime victory over the Pistons.

    It's safe to say that Flagg has found his rhythm at the NBA level, as he's in the midst of his best stretch of hoops. Over his last five games, he's been a third-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 24.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.6 blocks and 0.4 three-pointers on 48.3 percent shooting from the field.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Continues to fade

    Thompson registered five points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 19 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 overtime victory over the Pistons.

    Thompson continues to trend in the wrong direction for Dallas, and it's no wonder he's been linked to a move elsewhere. Naji Marshall is gaining steam as a fit alongside Cooper Flagg, and Thompson's minutes have suffered. Over his last 10 games, Thompson is averaging 22.2 minutes per contest and he's shooting 40.5 percent from the field.
