  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Grabs 15 boards in win

    Gobert logged nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 victory over Washington.

    Gobert grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, marking the most he has contributed in almost three weeks. It's been a relatively steady start to the season for the big man, who is averaging 10.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 31.6 minutes per game through the first 15 games. While he isn't the elite rim protector he once was, he still provides managers with typical center numbers on a nightly basis.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Logs season-high 31 minutes

    Bagley closed with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Bagley did some damage on both ends of the floor, putting together his best performance of the season. With Alex Sarr (toe) sidelined, it was Bagley who was elevated into the starting center role. While he has been a regular part of the rotation thus far, this was easily his most sizeable role. If Sarr is forced to miss additional time, Bagley could be a potential streaming option, even in standard formats.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Posts another triple-double

    Jokic notched 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 assists and 11 rebounds across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 125-118 win over the Pelicans.

    Jokic stuffed the stat sheet against a struggling Pelicans squad, securing his third consecutive triple-double. The three-time MVP has logged nine such performances through 14 regular-season games thus far. The superstar center finished as the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder, and he led all players in assists. Jokic has yet to dish out fewer than six dimes in a game this season, and he has recorded double-digit assists in 10 outings.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Swats three shots vs. Sacramento

    Holmgren logged 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during the Thunder's 113-99 win over the Kings on Wednesday.

    Although Holmgren wasn't efficient from deep, he was effective inside the arc and finished second on the Thunder in scoring behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33). Wednesday marked the third time this season that Holmgren recorded at least three blocks, and he has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six games. Over that span, he has averaged 21.2 points on 64.6 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks over 28.5 minutes per game.

  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Paces bench in win

    Reid recorded 28 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 120-109 win over the Wizards.

    Reid knocked down a game- and season-high five three-pointers en route to his second consecutive contest with at least 22 points. The backup big man has scored in double figures in each of his last four appearances, shooting 48.3 percent from beyond the arc during that span. The 26-year-old also tallied two steals in the win, marking his third outing with multiple swipes over his last six.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIL

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Pulls down 16 boards in win

    Ware notched seven points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and 16 rebounds across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over Golden State.

    With the demotion to the second unit, Ware's minutes dipped below 20, and his double-double streak was put to an end. He didn't spend any time alongside Bam Adebayo, and if he's unable to share the floor with Adebayo, his upside will be severely limited.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Carries Houston to victory

    Sengun totaled 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 victory over the Cavaliers.

    Sengun enjoyed yet another successful night across the board, securing his fifth consecutive double-double. He was far more efficient than his 11-for-31 showing from the field Sunday, needing only 17 field-goal attempts to lead the Rockets in scoring Wednesday. Sengun continues to prove that he's one of the best all-around big men in the game, averaging 24.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest over his last five appearances.

  • Bam Adebayo C | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Nets 20 points in return

    Adebayo (toe) racked up 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 victory over the Warriors.

    Adebayo looked great in his return from a six-game absence due to a left big toe sprain, asserting himself on both ends of the floor. He drilled a clutch three-pointer down the stretch to put the game out of reach, and he finished with a point differential of plus-15. Adebayo is knocking down a career-high 2.1 triples per game, though his willingness to venture outside of the paint has brought his field-goal percentage down to a career-low 46 percent through nine appearances.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Checks back in

    Bagley (undisclosed) has returned to Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Bagley went back to the locker room during the third quarter for undisclosed reasons, but he checked back into the contest early in the fourth period. He's serving as one of the Wizards' top big men Wednesday due to the absence of Alex Sarr (toe).

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Heads to locker room

    Bagley went to the locker room during the third quarter of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves with an undisclosed injury, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.

    Bagley checked out of the game with 5:40 remaining in the third period, though the details of his injury remain unclear. He'll be considered questionable to return until further notice.
