Larsson ended with 20 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 victory over the Rockets.

After a sluggish four-game stretch following his return from a bruised forearm, Larsson perked up and scored at least 20 points for the first time since Feb. 1. Over 18 appearances since joining the starting five in mid-January, the second-year wing is averaging 12.6 points, 4.8 boards, 3.8 assists and 0.9 steals.

Adebayo totaled 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 victory over the Rockets.

The 24 points led Miami on the afternoon, while the double-double was Adebayo's second straight and 24th of the season. Through 11 games in February, the 28-year-old center averaged 20.5 points, 10.1 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.1 steals.

Eason produced 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Heat.

After two poor performances that saw Eason manage a combined 10 points and 10 boards, the fourth-year wing bounced back with his fifth double-double of the season. Through 11 games in February, Eason averaged 10.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 steals.

Thompson closed with 20 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-12 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Heat.

The double-double was the 12th of the season for Thompson and his third in February. The third-year guard struggled to stay fully healthy and productive during the month, and over 10 games he averaged 13.3 points, 7.2 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks.

White supplied 20 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 109-93 win over the Trail Blazers.

The 26-year-old guard had his most productive game yet for Charlotte after scoring just 17 total points in his first two appearances for his new team. White averaged 19.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 boards and 3.0 threes over his final 12 contests for the Bulls, but that was with a starting role and 30.8 minutes a game. Without a larger role for the Hornets, it will be tough for him to come close to that level of production on a consistent basis.

Riley closed Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Raptors with 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.

With Kyshawn George back in action following a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, Riley shifted to a bench role after recording a double-double during his spot start in Thursday's loss to Atlanta. The rookie first-rounder still logged a team-high 34 minutes Saturday en route to a team-best 19 points. He has played at least 29 minutes in four straight games (one start), averaging 15.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 32.5 minutes per tilt during that span.

Diabate supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-93 victory over Portland.

The fourth-year center recorded his second straight double-double and his 16th of the season. Diabate was suspended for four games in February, and his production when he was on the court was very matchup-dependent -- over seven appearances on the month, he averaged just 8.0 points, 10.1 boards and 3.1 assists in 28.9 minutes.

Grant totaled 21 points (9-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Saturday's 109-93 loss to the Hornets.

The veteran forward has scored more than 20 points in four straight games, stepping up his production while Deni Avdija (back) has been sidelined. During that stretch, Grant has averaged 23.0 points, 3.3. boards, 2.8 threes, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals, but Avdija isn't expected to be out much longer.

Holiday finished with 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-93 loss to the Hornets.

The veteran point guard led the Blazers in scoring on the afternoon, but only two of his teammates even managed to reach double digits. Holiday wraps up February having produced 20-plus points in six of 11 games while averaging 18.6 points, 5.5 assists, 4.5 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.1 steals on the month.

Santos logged 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during the Warriors' 129-101 loss to the Lakers on Saturday.

The Warriors struggled offensively during Saturday's loss, though Santos managed to lead the team in scoring on the same day he inked a three-year, $15 million contract extension with Golden State. The fourth-year pro has stepped into a larger role since the beginning of February and will wrap up the month having averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.5 steals over 30.0 minutes per game.
