Thompson finished with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and seven steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 115-101 victory over the Warriors.
The Scoop: Thompson flexed his muscles on the defensive end, recording a career-high seven steals. Although the rest of his line was mostly underwhelming, anyone rostering Thompson is likely doing so in a bid to boost their defensive stats. While the production is exciting, the fact that he is still only playing minutes in the mid-20s is somewhat underwhelming. He remains a must-roster player, albeit in specific situations only.

Holland had 11 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 115-101 victory over Golden State.
The Scoop: Holland chipped in on both ends of the floor, albeit on low volume. While he has been able to carve out a consistent role, his per-minute production has been far from exciting. In 17 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per game, leaving him outside the top 250 during that time.

Yurtseven had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 115-101 loss to the Pistons.
The Scoop: Yurtseven logged a season-high 21 minutes, playing a sizable role after Kristaps Porzingis exited the game in the second quarter due to a back issue. Already dealing with a paper-thin frontcourt, Golden State now has another injury to deal with. Should Porzingis be forced to miss additional time, Yurtseven could find himself serving as the backup center, making him a name to watch in slightly deeper formats.

Durant contributed 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 117-95 win over the Hawks.
The Scoop: Durant was held to 18 points and struggled with turnovers in back-to-back losses to the Lakers, but he cracked the 20-point plateau Friday evening and didn't commit a single turnover in his 30 minutes of floor time. Durant has been a steady top-20 stud this season, averaging 25.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.3 triples per contest.

Clingan contributed 21 points (9-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 108-104 win over the Timberwolves.
The Scoop: After recording a 28-point, 13-rebound performance in Wednesday's win over Indiana, Clingan chipped in another efficient double-double Friday. The second-year center tied the team-high mark in rebounds and was Portland's third-leading scorer, securing his 31st double-double on the campaign. He also chipped in multiple blocks for a second straight game, and he has recorded at least two swats in five of his last six outings.

Leons hurt his wrist toward the end of Friday's 115-101 loss to the Pistons, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports. He finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 11 minutes.
The Scoop: Leons will see how his wrist feels in the morning, though it wouldn't be shocking to see him end up on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Hawks. If the 26-year-old forward is forced to miss time, Gui Santos and Gary Payton would likely see a slight bump in playing time.

Jenkins supplied 22 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes in Friday's 115-101 win over the Warriors.
The Scoop: Getting the start for a second consecutive contest in the absence of Cade Cunningham (chest), Jenkins turned in an efficient overall shooting performance and was Detroit's second-leading scorer. The 24-year-old guard also led all players in assists and rebounds, finishing one board shy of tying his career high. Jenkins has played heavy minutes over the last two games and may continue to see starter-level minutes for the remainder of the campaign, as Cunningham won't be re-evaluated for another two weeks.

Jones won't start Friday's game against the Raptors.
The Scoop: With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) back in the lineup, Jones will slide back to the second unit. The 24-year-old forward has averaged 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds across 18.6 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench.

Coffey (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.
The Scoop: Coffey exited Thursday's loss to the Spurs after spraining his ankle and will now miss Saturday's game. However, he's not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy leagues.

Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
The Scoop: Highsmith will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to right knee injury management, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Raptors. With the 29-year-old forward out, Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming are candidates for increased playing time.
