Wembanyama had 29 points (9-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 win over Dallas.

Wembanyama posted a strong shooting line, highlighted by five made triples. Thursday marked his best showing from deep since Jan. 19, when he went 7-for-12 from downtown. Wembanyama continues to feast on the opposite end of the court and has racked up 10 total swats over his last three games.

Landale finished Thursday's 121-119 win over the Jazz with 26 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 32 minutes.

Landale was given the green light to make his Hawks debut Thursday following a tumultuous week in which he was traded by Memphis to Utah on Tuesday before being shipped to Atlanta on Wednesday. Perhaps the Jazz will regret moving on from the fifth-year center, as he put together a dominant display Thursday despite the lack of playing time with his new teammates. Landale ended up leading the Hawks in scoring, three-pointers and blocks while finishing second in rebounds behind Jalen Johnson (16 rebounds). It'll be interesting to see how head coach Quin Snyder shapes the Hawks' rotation once Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) is cleared to return, especially if Landale can come close to maintaining this kind of production.

Horford is not in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Suns on Thursday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Horford has started in each of the Warriors' last four games, and over that span he has averaged 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over 22.5 minutes per game. The veteran big man will revert to a bench role for Thursday's contest while De'Anthony Melton enters the Warriors' starting five for the first time this season.

Embiid (ankle) will play Thursday against the Lakers, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Embiid was considered a true game-time call leading up to tipoff, and the team has since given him the green light to run the floor in LA. The big man will aim to continue his recent success, as he's averaging 32.9 points over his last eight games.

Drummond is not in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Lakers on Thursday.

Drummond got the start in Tuesday's 113-94 win over the Warriors, when he logged 12 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes. He was filling in for Joel Embiid (ankle/knee), but with the latter cleared to play Thursday, Drummond will revert to a bench role.

Porzingis (illness/recently traded) will join the Warriors in Los Angeles on Friday but is unlikely to play against the Lakers on Saturday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Porzingis was acquired by the Warriors on Wednesday in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield. Porzingis is not available for Thursday's game against the Suns, and assuming he's ruled out Saturday, his next chance to make his Warriors debut is Monday against the Grizzlies. The veteran big man has been recovering from an illness and has not appeared in a game since Jan. 7.

Hayes-Davis was waived by the Bucks on Thursday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Hayes-Davis was dealt to Milwaukee earlier in the day, but he'll become a free agent once he clears waivers. He struggled to make an impact in 27 appearances for Phoenix this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game, though he could receive another opportunity overseas should he seek one out.

Markkanen finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.

It was somewhat curious to see Markkanen play just 23 minutes, his second-lowest total of the campaign, in such a hotly-contested game, and he didn't encounter foul trouble. With the 16-36 Jazz starting to reel in the standings, the star forward's playing time will remain worth keeping tabs on going forward. Markkanen has appeared in just five of Utah's last 13 contests, averaging 21.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.2 minutes per tilt during that span.

Durant recorded 31 points (11-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist and five steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 loss to Charlotte.

Durant played well enough to keep Houston in the game, but he received little help from his teammates. The 37-year-old posted a solid showing from beyond the arc after struggling to a 4-for-16 clip in his previous three matchups and turned in his 19th game of 30 or more points through 47 appearances so far this season.

Filipowski logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.

The 17 rebounds were a season high for Filipowski, who submitted his sixth double-double of the year. Jusuf Nurkic ended up staying put with the Jazz following Thursday's trade deadline, but the veteran big man didn't appear against Atlanta and carries an uncertain future in Utah. Filipowski, on the other hand, is flourishing in the first unit in the meantime, averaging 14.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 games as a starter.

Banchero registered 22 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Thursday's 118-98 victory over the Nets.

Banchero missed both of his three-point attempts, but he delivered in every other category and committed only one turnover in his 31 minutes of floor time. The fourth-year forward is averaging 21.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 triples, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game this season.

Yabusele registered 14 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during the Bulls' 123-107 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.

Yabusele was dealt by the Knicks to the Bulls on Wednesday, and the veteran from France was given the green light to make his Chicago debut Thursday. He averaged just 8.9 minutes per game off the bench with New York, but he got an expanded opportunity against Toronto, logging his first double-double of the season and first since Jan. 24, 2025 against the Cavaliers, when he was a member of the 76ers. Yabusele's minutes off the bench were a promising sign, though what his role will look like long-term remains to be seen.

Tyson was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Tyson was traded by the Nuggets earlier in the day, and he'll become a free agent once he clears waivers. He's failed to impress at the NBA level this season, so he may be destined for an opportunity in the G League.

Martin was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Brooklyn needed to open up a roster spot after acquiring Josh Minott, Hunter Tyson and Ochai Agbaji at the trade deadline, resulting in Martin's departure. Martin made 37 appearances this season for the Nets, averaging 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 18.8 minutes per game.

Livers is out for the remainder of Thursday's game against Golden State due to a left shoulder injury, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. He logged three minutes prior to exiting.

Livers hasn't played significant minutes of late, so his absence should have little impact on the rotation down the stretch of Thursday's game. He can be considered day-to-day until the team provides another update on his status.

Champagnie chipped in 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 victory over Detroit.

Champagnie stepped into the starting lineup following the departure of Khris Middleton and posted a decent shooting line despite being limited to 15 minutes. However, Will Riley, Sharife Cooper, Anthony Gill and Jamir Watkins all saw significantly more playing time than Champagnie on a night in which the Wizards were thin across the board, so it'll be worth monitoring whether he sticks in the starting five moving forward.

Risacher supplied zero points (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over the Jazz.

With Jonathan Kuminga (knee) on the way into Atlanta, Risacher could be in jeopardy of losing out on some playing time at small forward. The Hawks appear to be bringing Risacher along slowly -- the 2024 No. 1 overall pick recently faced an 11-game absence with a knee bone bruise -- but he'll likely need to pick things back up quickly in order to keep his starting position. Risacher has failed to score in double digits in any of his last three games, shooting just 30.0 percent from the field during that stretch.

Porter provided nine points (2-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-98 loss to Orlando.

Porter couldn't buy a bucket Thursday evening, going scoreless in the second half of play while missing all four of his shot attempts. He finished with a team-worst minus-23 differential in the blowout loss and committed as many turnovers as he had assists. Porter will look to bounce back Saturday with a much more favorable matchup against the Wizards.

Reaves finished with 35 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 win over the 76ers.

Reaves took control down the stretch and scored 13 of his 35 points during the fourth quarter to power the Lakers to a victory. The 27-year-old still faced a minutes restriction in just his second game back from a strained right calf, but he saw a slight increase in playing time Thursday and proved that he can take over even when having his minutes monitored.

Allen didn't return to Thursday's game against Golden State due to a right knee injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. He ended the night with 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

Allen was on his way to a strong performance, but an injury in the final few minutes put a damper on his night. The team has yet to provide an update on his status beyond the fact that he suffered a knee injury, so he can be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Philly until more information surfaces.

Allen went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Warriors with a leg injury, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Allen checked out of the game with 3:03 remaining in the fourth quarter and immediately went into the locker room. The severity of his injury is unclear at time.

Marshall had 32 points (12-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 39 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 loss to the Spurs.

Marshall tied Cooper Flagg for the team lead in scoring, though Marshall enjoyed a more efficient night. The Xavier product had been held in check in his previous two appearances, totaling 17 points while going 7-for-26 from the field, so Thursday's showing could be a sign he's back on track offensively.

Podziemski (illness) has returned to Thursday's game against Phoenix, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Podziemski isn't feeling his best, but he managed to check in with 8:06 remaining in the third quarter. It's unclear what his usage will look like in the second half considering he's feeling under the weather.

Podziemski is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Suns due to illness, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Podziemski failed to check in during the second period but was spotted warming up ahead of the second half, so it appears he'll have a chance to return to Thursday's matchup. De'Anthony Melton and Will Richard would be in line for an increase in minutes if Podziemski is done for the night.

Head coach JJ Redick stated after Thursday's game against the 76ers that Doncic experienced soreness in his left hamstring, and he'll be sent for imaging, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Redick went on to note that it's still too early to tell if Doncic suffered an injury or if he's simply dealing with a sore hamstring. The team should have a better idea of his status moving forward after further testing.

Doncic won't return to Thursday's game against Philadelphia due to left leg soreness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. He tallied 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes before departing.

Doncic went to the locker room during the second quarter and wasn't spotted on the bench to begin the third. The Lakers ruled him out for the night shortly thereafter. Doncic can be considered day-to-day until the team has another update to share.

Doncic went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the 76ers with an apparent left hamstring injury, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Doncic was spotted making his way to the locker room during a timeout late in the second quarter. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time. Marcus Smart and Nick Smith would be up for more playing time if Doncic is unable to return.

McCollum provided eight points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and three blocks over 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over Utah.

The Hawks appear content with keeping McCollum in a reserve role, and the veteran guard has maintained healthy workloads from the second unit. However, it does remain to be seen how the eventual presences of Buddy Hield, Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Gabe Vincent might shake up the rotation. McCollum has come off the bench in nine consecutive games, during which he's averaging 18.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per tilt.

Cooper accumulated 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 win over the Pistons.

Cooper logged a season-high 34 minutes on a night in which the Wizards were thin across the board. He needed only 12 attempts from the field to tack on 18 points, marking the first time in nine games that he's scored in double figures. This kind of role isn't expected to last for Cooper, who will soon sit behind the likes of Tre Johnson (ankle) and D'Angelo Russell (illness/recently traded).

Traore closed Thursday's 118-98 loss to the Magic with 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes.

Traore tied his career highs in points and assists, becoming the first Nets rookie to record at least 20 points and seven assists in a game since MarShon Brooks did so in March of 2012. Traore has shown flashes this season but has struggled to put everything together consistently. Still, with the Nets sitting at 13-36, the rookie should see nothing but opportunity over the second half of the season.
