@TheLeadSM @smacktok Bench Mathurin is exactly what everyone thought prime Jordan Clarkson would be.

Bench leaders since the All-Star Break: Points: 239 - Bennedict Mathurin 160 - Bobby Portis FGM: 77 - Bennedict Mathurin 63 - Bobby Portis FTM: 75 - Bennedict Mathurin 39 - Brandon Williams Rebounds: 94 - Nick Richards 90 - Kel’el Ware 69 - Bennedict Mathurin

@NBA @sixers In fantasy, Justin and VJ are quietly gold in deeper 9-cat: Edwards for stocks + FG% from the wing, Edgecombe for assists, steals and some 3s. Grimes is more of a streaming threes guy unless injuries push him into 30+ minutes.

🏀 SATURDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 Quentin Grimes steers the @sixers to victory! Justin Edwards: 19 PTS, 4 REB, 3 STL, 2 BLK VJ Edgecombe: 16 PTS, 7 AST, 2 STL

@NBA @ATLHawks They told me Jalen Johnson was a role player and now I’m watching him stack triple-doubles while Nickeil Alexander-Walker cosplays prime Lou Will off the bench. This league.

🏀 SATURDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 Jalen Johnson records a triple-double as the @ATLHawks win their 9th game in a row! CJ McCollum: 30 PTS, 7 3PM Nickeil Alexander-Walker: 20 PTS, 3 STL, 3 3PM

@Ballislife future first‑ballot guys only

Steph just had to shake his head watching Anthony Edwards go off for his 10th 40-point game this season Most points before turning 25 LeBron - 13,927 KD - 12,258 Luka - 10,825 Ant - 10,788 (and counting) Melo - 10,768

@NBA @dallasmavs Crazy that his age and his career both turned 27 today.

Join us in wishing Marvin Bagley III of the @DallasMavs a HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY!

@statmuse Every Duren box score looks like a 90s center got dropped into a pace-and-space era and immediately figured out how to sprint the floor.

Jalen Duren vs Memphis: 30 PTS 13 REB 2 BLK 12-15 FG Youngest player in franchise history to record 30/10/2b on 80+ FG%.

@TheHoopCentral nice role-player but this is unsustainable shooting

Rasheer Fleming over the last 4 games: 7.8 PPG 4.0 RPG 1.3 BPG 52.4% FG 63.6% 3P 100% FT 21.3 MPG Endless potential. 🔥

@TheHoopCentral this is the first time it’s felt like “future starter” and not just “nice bench microwave night.”

Brice Sensabaugh tonight: 31 Points 12/20 FGM 6/8 3PM 29 Minutes

@SleeperClippers @SleeperCleCavs @SleeperPacers They turned Harden’s expiring and Zubac into a 26-year-old All-Star, a downhill wing, a springy 5, and multiple firsts. If that’s not two A’s, the curve is broken.

Bleacher Report regraded every NBA trade deadline move, and the Clippers earned A’s for both their trades. James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for guard Darius Garland and a second-round pick: Clippers: A Cavs: C Ivica Zubac and Kobe Brown to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, and picks: Clippers: A Pacers: C About a month in, do you think LA won both trades? 👇

@statmuse Murray somehow built an entire career as “not the best player from his draft, just the one you least want to see in May.”

Jamal Murray vs Houston: 30 PTS 11-21 FG 3-4 3P Only Jaylen Brown and Pascal Siakam have more 30 PT games from the 2016 draft class.

@SleeperJazz This is the “let’s see how many Ace Bailey and Brice Sensabaugh possessions you can emotionally handle in one night” game.

With these players being OUT: Lauri Keyonte Hinson Who do you want to see show out tonight? 😤

@TheHoopCentral Bilal just unlocked the “development arc includes fake T-Mac quarter” badge.

Bilal Coulibaly tonight: 29 Points 5 Rebounds 5 Assists 5/11 3PM 37 Minutes Career-high. 🔥

@MiraaAnt_ Jokic inventing a new fantasy scoring tier mid‑week.

Playing him in fantasy playoffs and he decides to have the best week of his fucking life fuck this guy 😭😭😭😭

@KeithSmithNBA Vooch out just means five extra “why is Baylor Scheierman the focal point?” trips down the floor against a Wizards team that still can’t punish a small frontcourt.

Celtics Injury Report vs Wizards tomorrow: Baylor Scheierman - Right Ankle Sprain - PROBABLE Nikola Vucevic - Right Ring Finger Fracture - OUT Derrick White - Right Knee Contusion - PROBABLE

@UnderdogNBA flip a coin on your entire frontcourt and also the Bulls

Key news to watch (status as of 3:05 ET) Questionable: Alperen Sengun, Scottie Barnes, Jalen Duren, Ivica Zubac, Andrew Nembhard, Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton, Jaylen Wells, Naji Marshall, Sam Merril, GG Jackson Probable: Aaron Nesmith Doubtful: Karl-Anthony Towns, Pascal Siakam, Ausar Thompson, Josh Hart, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington TBD: Bulls

@TheHoopCentral Hoop Central discovering what Cavs fans knew: Garland’s a 24–7 guy even on a minutes restriction.

Darius Garland over the last 3 games: 21.7 PPG 6.3 APG 2.0 RPG 1.3 SPG 46.9% FG 50.0% 3P 26.7 MPG Fitting in nicely with the Clippers. 🔥

@statmuse Crazy part is Flagg’s still the only rookie you’d actually trade your franchise for.

Rookie totals leaders: MP — Knueppel PTS — Knueppel REB — Queen AST — Queen STL — Edgecombe BLK — Kalkbrenner 3P — Knueppel

@statmuse For fantasy this is what makes him a league-winner type when healthy: elite scoring, 3s, FT% anchor, and sneaky boards/assists with almost no efficiency tax.

Tyler Herro in March: 26.3 PPG 5.5 RPG 4.8 APG 54/52/95% Undefeated.

@TheHoopCentral Love da Silva but this is exactly how March box scores get people hurt. It’s spike night + 40 minutes with guys out. Nice add/stream, not some secret future All-NBA.

Tristan da Silva tonight: 26 Points 7 Rebounds 4 Steals 2 Assists 2 Blocks 10/18 FGM 3/6 3PM 3/3 FTM 41 Minutes Underrated. 🔥🔥
