The Scoop: Hauser came alive in the fourth quarter with four triples, and his efforts from deep helped the Celtics snap a two-game losing skid. His 15 points and five made triples were his most since Oct. 29 against the Cavaliers (21 points while going 7-for-13 from deep). Hauser doesn't provide much fantasy value outside of his contributions from beyond the arc.

 The Scoop: Wembanyama came off the bench and played less than 25 minutes for a third consecutive game while managing a calf injury that caused him to miss 12 games, but he still made his impact felt during Friday's blowout win. The third-year center posted his 10th double-double of the season and led the Spurs in, scoring, rebounds and point differential (plus-29). Wembanyama will continue to have his minutes monitored but could return to the starting lineup as soon as Sunday against the Wizards.

 The Scoop: Ware started in a second straight game, and in each of those starts posted a 20-point double-double. He ended up leading the Heat in both scoring and rebounding (with five of his 14 boards coming off the offensive glass), and he set a career high with six three-pointers. Ware would likely start against the Knicks on Sunday if Andrew Wiggins (back) is not cleared to play.

 The Scoop: With Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) returning for the second leg of Oklahoma City's back-to-back set, Wallace will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances (four starts), the 22-year-old guard has averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 steals, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 24.6 minutes per tilt.

 The Scoop: Sheppard sustained a Grade 1 left calf strain Dec. 3 and will miss his sixth consecutive contest Saturday. The 24-year-old guard should be considered week-to-week until the Pacers offer an update on his recovery.

 The Scoop: Henderson sustained a torn left hamstring in September and remains without a timetable for a return. The 21-year-old point guard is still limited to non-contact work and should be considered week-to-week until Portland offers another update on his recovery.

 The Scoop: Reaves is still working through a Grade 1 left calf strain, and Saturday will mark the third straight game he'll miss due to his injury. Marcus Smart will remain in the Lakers' starting lineup for as long as Reaves is sidelined. Reaves' next opportunity to return is Tuesday against the Suns.

 The Scoop: Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and remains without a timetable for a return. The veteran point guard can be considered week-to-week until the Trail Blazers offer an update on his recovery.

 The Scoop: Harden sat out Monday's loss to the Thunder with a calf contusion, but he'll be back in action Saturday, which will likely result in Bogdan Bogdanovic heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders.

 The Scoop: Spencer will be back in action Saturday following a one-game stint on the inactive list, and he should return to his usual role in the second unit. Spencer is averaging 7.4 points and 3.2 assists per game this season.
