  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Notches double-double vs. Nets

    Williams provided 19 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, 10 assists and two blocks across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 123-114 win over the Nets.

    Williams delivered his first double-double of the season and the third of his career. In 53 career games with at least 10 field-goal attempts, Williams' 81.8 percent shooting from the field on Tuesday against the Nets was his most efficient. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 14.5 points, 5.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 23.3 minutes per contest through six games in February.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Solid all-around performance in win

    Marshall recorded 21 points (7-13 FG, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-114 victory over the Nets.

    Marshall turned in another well-rounded effort, recording his second 20-5-5 performance of the season, with the first coming Jan. 22 against the Warriors. The 28-year-old forward has scored in double digits in 18 of 22 games in the new year, averaging 18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals over 31.5 minutes per game during that stretch.

  • Nets' Michael Porter: Adds 26 points in loss

    Porter closed with 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-114 loss to Dallas.

    Porter once again led the Nets in scoring, notching his 25th game of the season with at least 25 points, though the 27-year-old also failed to pull down a rebound for the first time all year. Through seven games in February, the former Nuggets forward has cooled off, averaging 19.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.7 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest.

  • Coby White PG | CHA

    Hornets' Coby White: Scores 10 points in debut

    White (calf) posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls.

    White made his long-awaited debut for the Hornets after completing his recovery from a left calf strain. He unseated Tre Mann in the rotation and served as the primary backup to LaMelo Ball, finishing with a well-rounded line during his time on the court. However, unless White begins to regularly eclipse 20 minutes, he'll be difficult to justify rostering outside of deeper fantasy leagues.

  • Miles Bridges PF | PHO

    Hornets' Miles Bridges: Thrives in return

    Bridges supplied 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls.

    Bridges made an immediate impact in his return from suspension for his role in an altercation with the Pistons earlier this month. He was especially sharp from downtown, making four threes en route to 16 points. He saw only 22 minutes of action as the Hornets buried the Bulls, outscoring them 42-16 in the third quarter.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Makes return from suspension

    Diabate finished Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls with nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes.

    Diabate played his first game since Feb. 9 after serving a four-game suspension for an altercation with the Pistons, and he didn't miss a beat. After playing 31 minutes in a massive win, it's safe to assume Diabate maintains a grip on the starting center role in Charlotte.

  • Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Fares well off bench

    Matkovic finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Warriors.

    Matkovic recorded a season-high three blocks in the win, providing a big lift off the bench on both sides of the floor. His workloads haven't been large enough for him to make a consistent impact in fantasy, however. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 16.6 minutes with 7.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Records five steals

    Jones produced five points (1-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and five steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over the Warriors.

    Jones recorded at least five steals for the second time this season, and he snatched eight against Houston on Dec. 18. Jones has been a little underwhelming for the most part in recent weeks, however, as he's averaging 7.3 points, 3.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.9 minutes per contest.

  • Kon Knueppel SF | CHA

    Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Becomes 1st to 200 threes

    Knueppel finished Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls with 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 23 minutes.

    Knueppel's remarkable rookie campaign continues as the 2025 No. 4 overall pick became the first player to reach 200 made threes this season. He was very efficient from the field on his way to 21 points in only 23 minutes. He's averaging 27.3 points per game over his last three. Knueppel has now made more than one triple in nine consecutive games, recording at least one steal in five straight as well.

  • Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Double-doubles in loss

    Podziemski had 16 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Pelicans.

    For the second straight game, Podziemski pulled down 15 rebounds, matching his career-best mark. He continues to step up for the shorthanded Warriors, and his fantasy upside is trending up while Stephen Curry continues to nurse his knee injury.
