The Scoop: Clowney's final line reflects a subpar shooting night, but the plays he made down the stretch were very impressionable. In the final minute of overtime he recorded a block at the rim, and sank a three in transition on the ensuing play that gave Brooklyn a lead before Hugo Gonzalez's game-tying shot. That kind of two-way potential is what makes him intriguing. He's upped his averages across the board compared to last season, and will have chances to continue proving himself going forward.

 The Scoop: The Hauser hot streak stays intact after another sharpshooting performance. He's now up to 46 made threes in the month of Jan. on 95 attempts. Hauser is hitting threes at a 48.4-percent clip this month leading to a deserved uptick in playing time. He saw a season-high 39 minutes of playing time in Boston's thrilling double-overtime victory.

 The Scoop: Strawther made his first start of the season with Jamal Murray (hamstring/hip), Christian Braun (ankle) and Peyton Watson (ankle) sidelined and capitalized on the opportunity by leading Denver in scoring during a win. The Gonzaga product entered Friday averaging just 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 9.7 minutes across 22 appearances, inconsistently factoring into the regular rotation. While his usage is likely to dip as the Nuggets get healthier, outings like this can help keep Strawther in the mix for minutes moving forward.

 The Scoop: After averaging 14.3 points on 38.5 percent shooting from the field in his previous three outings, McCollum got back on track in this one. The veteran guard led the second unit in scoring and posted at least 20 points for the third time over seven appearances (one start) with the Hawks. During that stretch, he has averaged 17.3 points, 3.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds across 26.6 minutes per tilt.

 The Scoop: Landale returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the previous two games and turned in one of his strongest performances of the season despite the loss. Friday marked the big man's seventh double-double and fifth 20-point outing of the year. In his first season with the Grizzlies, the 30-year-old has been a solid contributor, frequently stepping up in a frontcourt that's been hit hard by injuries.

 The Scoop: It's unclear when Antetokounmpo sustained the injury, though he exited Friday's contest with 34 seconds remaining in the fourth and appeared to grab at his calf before limping off the court. Rivers also said that he thought the superstar was favoring the calf for most of the second half, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic. The two-time MVP joined his teammates on the bench before the game ended but did not check back in. The severity of the injury is not yet clear, but he's set to receive an MRI on Saturday, per Nehm. It's worth noting that Antetokounmpo missed eight consecutive games in December due to a right calf strain.

 The Scoop: Antetokounmpo appeared to reach for his lower leg before limping off the court in the final minute of the fourth. The two-time MVP briefly exited to the locker room before joining his teammates on the bench, though he didn't check back in. He finished with 22 points (4-8 FG, 14-16 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists across 32 minutes. The superstar forward's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Mavericks.

 The Scoop: Giannis limped off the floor in the final minute of Friday's contest. He returned to the bench shortly thereafter, though it's unclear if he'll be able to check back in.

 The Scoop: Gordon aggravated his strained right hamstring in the first half, and he'll finish with 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 16 minutes. The veteran forward previously missed over a month due to a right hamstring strain, and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

 The Scoop: Gordon didn't start the second half and may be held out of the final two quarters due to the hamstring injury. It's worth noting that the veteran forward previously missed over a month with a strained right hamstring, and the Nuggets could be exercising caution on the second leg of their back-to-back set. While Gordon is on the sidelines, DaRon Holmes and Hunter Tyson are candidates for increased minutes.
