  • Posts triple-double in win
    Ingram notched 30 points (10-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-96 win over the Hornets.

    Advice: Ingram wasn't efficient, but he still scored a game-high 30 points thanks to a perfect night at the charity stripe. He also tied his season high with 10 assists and finished second on the team in rebounds behind Jonas Valanciunas (19) en route to his first career triple-double. Since returning from a two-game absence, Ingram has averaged 28.2 points, 7.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks with 50/38/92 shooting splits. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Fourth straight double-double
    Valanciunas finished Thursday's 115-96 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 19 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes.

    Advice: Valanciunas grabbed a season-high 19 boards and was efficient from the field en route to 20 points, marking his fourth straight double-double. During that stretch, the talented forward has averaged 20.5 points, 15.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 32.3 minutes. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled by parent club
    Pokusevski was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

    Advice: Pokusevski had been sidelined since late December with a non-displaced left tibial fracture, but he was assigned to the G League on March 6 and appeared in Wednesday's loss to Ontario. It's certainly possible he'll be able to suit up for the Thunder's game against the Lakers on Friday, but assuming he's available, it wouldn't be surprising to see his playing time monitored.

  • Inks two-way deal with Orlando
    Scrubb signed a two-way contract with the Magic on Friday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

    Advice: Scrubb has appeared in 22 games for the Lakeland Magic in the G League this season and averages 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 31.1 minutes. He'll provide backcourt depth for Orlando but is unlikely to see significant minutes down the stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 6:19 am

  • Bones Hyland returns to the rotation, scores 16
    Bones Hyland recorded a line of 16 points (6-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers in 26 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 win over the Thunder. 

    Advice: The knee injury suffered by Paul George was bound to change the Clippers' rotation, but few anticipated Hyland getting credible playing time. His number was called early, and the young guard answered. In his first appearance since March 3, Hyland recorded a full stat line while committing just one turnover. Eric Gordon was the player chosen to move into the starting lineup, and he finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers in 22 minutes. Between Hyland and Terance Mann (14/4/3 with two 3-pointers in 27 minutes), the Clippers received enough production to account for Gordon, Marcus Morris, and Ivica Zubac combining to score 20 points. Hyland hasn't been a good fantasy option this season, but George's injury makes him worth the gamble in deep leagues.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 1:08 am
     
  • Kawhi Leonard puts up 32/6/6/4 stat line vs. OKC
    Kawhi Leonard shot 13-of-15 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Thursday's 127-105 win over the Thunder, accumulating 32 points, six rebounds, six assists, four steals, and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes. 

    Advice: The Clippers were playing this one without Paul George, who will miss at least 2-3 weeks after injuring his right knee in Tuesday's matchup between the two teams. And Leonard was nearly unstoppable, only missing two shots from the field on the night. He was one of two Clippers to score at least 20 points on the night, with Russell Westbrook (24/2/7/0/1 with two 3-pointers) being the other. Leonard and Westbrook are going to do a lot of the heavy lifting on offense while George sits, which is a big deal with the Clippers playing four games during fantasy championship week (Week 23).  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 12:59 am
     
  • Nears double-double in loss
    Williams racked up eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Clippers.

    Advice: As usual, Williams wasn't a big factor on the offensive end, but he made solid contributions elsewhere, particularly with his nine boards. The rookie big man continues to take most of his shots from distance -- including Thursday, he's taken more three-pointers than two-pointers in three straight contests. Williams has made half of his 10 attempts from beyond the arc during that time and is shooting 42.2 percent from deep this season, but his lack of overall offensive volume depresses his fantasy value significantly.

  • Up-and-down game Thursday
    Giddey closed Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Clippers with 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes.

    Advice: Giddey opened the contest with a flurry, scoring seven points and dishing two assists within the first six minutes. He didn't notch another point or dime for the remainder of the half, however, as he surprisingly logged just 11 total minutes. Giddey then bounced back enough after halftime to finish with 18 points, though his rebound and assist totals were below his season averages. On a positive note, Giddey drained two triples on five attempts in the contest, marking the first time he has made multiple three-pointers since March 5. Rotowire.com Today, 12:53 am
     
  • Josh Giddey scores 18 with four assists Thursday
    Josh Giddey tallied 18 points (8-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, and two 3-pointers in 26 minutes in Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Clippers. 

    Advice: Two nights after the Thunder beat the Clippers, only three players managed to reach double figures in the rematch. Giddey was one of them, and his role in Friday's game against the Lakers could be larger due to the uncertainty surrounding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA hasn't played both ends of a back-to-back since February 6-7, so there's no guarantee he'll be available Friday night, even though he didn't play at all during the fourth quarter. His availability will impact the entire roster, but Giddey and Jalen Williams (163/4 with two 3-pointers) are the ones whose usages would increase the most.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 12:52 am
