Heat's Bam Adebayo: Flirts with triple-double
Adebayo finished Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Pistons with 30 points (12-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.
Adebayo was one rebound and two assists shy of tallying his third triple-double of the season. The 27-year-old center also bounced back offensively after failing to score 20 points in each of his previous four outings. Adebayo simultaneously continues to be one of the league's best defenders, as he has now recorded at least one steal and one block 21 times in 2024-25.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Misses out on double-double
Bitadze finished with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to Houston.
Bitadze logged more minutes than starting center Wendell Carter (19) in Wednesday's loss. Bitadze capitalized on this increased playing time by scoring his second-most points in a game this season. If the 25-year-old big man continues to play at least 20 minutes a contest, his fantasy value will increase.

Kel'el Ware C | MIL
Heat's Kel'el Ware: Strong two-way showing
Ware logged 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 loss to Detroit.
Ware has recorded double-doubles in each of his last two starts. While the rookie big man has shown flashes of being a reliable two-way player when given enough minutes, he's also been extremely inconsistent, alternating solid performances with some not-so-good ones. Ware is averaging 10.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in his 23 starts this season.

Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Nails four triples in loss
Sarr ended Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Jazz with 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes.
Sarr continues to improve throughout his rookie year, as he has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games. Not only is this the 19-year-old forward's longest streak of the season, but he has scored at least 20 points seven times total. Sarr has also been efficient from behind the arc as of late, converting 38.3 percent of his 6.0 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.

Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts strong double-double
Sengun registered 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando.
Sengun posted a double-double for the fourth straight game, and the fifth time over his last six appearances, as he remains a capable two-way player who can also fill the stat sheet from time to time. Firmly entrenched as one of the go-to options on offense for Houston, Sengun is averaging a robust line of 20.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

Mitchell Robinson C | BOS
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Iffy for Thursday
Robinson (rest) is questionable to play against the Hornets on Thursday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and a maintenance day is on the table for Robinson. During Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Robinson had a productive outing with 13 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal.

Brandon Clarke C | MEM
Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Doesn't return against Portland
Clarke (knee) produced zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound across five minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Clarke was deemed doubtful to return after exiting Wednesday's contest with 2:04 remaining in the first quarter due to right shoulder soreness. The 28-year-old big man never returned to the game, and his status for Friday's matchup with the Clippers is uncertain.

Jakob Poeltl C | TOR
Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Good to go Thursday
Poeltl (rest) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.
Poeltl will return to action Thursday after sitting out Toronto's previous contest due to rest purposes. The 29-year-old big man should reclaim his starting center job from Colin Castleton against Golden State.

Nikola Vucevic C | ORL
Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Posts 24 points in loss
Vucevic provided 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 loss to the Suns.
Vucevic has managed double-digit rebounds in only two of his last five games since returning from a seven-game absence, but he was able to bounce back as a scorer after tepid results over the same period. Vucevic is a regular double-double threat, but his calf injury may still be a lingering problem.

Nick Richards C | MIA
Suns' Nick Richards: Flirts with double-double
Richards notched 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 win over the Bulls.
Richards' move to Phoenix has generally yielded positive results, and he's broken free from the platoon situation that limited his minutes. The center has averaged 9.1 rebounds per game since joining the Suns, providing integral interior support that was lacking when Jusuf Nurkic was the starter earlier in the season.
