The Scoop: This was Carrington's sixth straight game reaching double figures in the scoring department, and his second over the past three with at least one block. The second-year guard has been playing well since being re-inserted into the starting lineup, scoring 17.0 points per game on 49.3 percent shooting to go with 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.0 triples per contest.

 The Scoop: Ware was dominant for Miami, posting a career-high 28 points while matching his career-high mark of 20 boards. He also finished one triple shy of his career-high mark (6). Now back in the starting lineup, Ware is thriving with 24.7 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 4.0 three-pointers over his last three games.

 The Scoop: Clowney was quiet in the first half, but he came alive with 16 second-half points and finished as the Nets' second-leading scorer behind Michael Porter (24 points). Clowney was one of three Nets players to connect on four triples -- the seventh time he's reached that mark this season -- and he was one rebound shy from recording his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Since Dec. 1, Clowney has averaged 16.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.3 blocks over 30.3 minutes per game.

 The Scoop: Holland is experiencing some soreness in his left knee, and with Monday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be shocking to see Holland hit the sidelines. If he needs to miss a game, that would open up some minutes for Caris LeVert and Javonte Green.

 The Scoop: Da Silva has missed the past two games for Orlando, though he remains day-to-day. Noah Penda is trending up in Orlando and could see another extended look if Da Silva is unable to play.

 The Scoop: Not only did Buzelis notch a season-best in points, but he also set a new career high in triples with seven, and finished with an impeccable true shooting percentage of 117.8. Buzelis has now scored 20 points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career, and he'll look to extend the 20-point scoring streak to three in Tuesday's rematch with Atlanta.

 The Scoop: After producing 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 128-127 overtime loss to the Magic, Love is getting the night off for the front end of this back-to-back set. In his absence, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski could be more involved for Utah.

 The Scoop: Alex Sarr is getting the night off for maintenance for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Across seven starts this season, Champagnie has averaged 8.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks.

 The Scoop: With Marvin Bagley (calf) out of commission, Vukcevic is the next man up at center for Washington. Across 22 appearances this season, Vukcevic holds averages of 6.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.5 blocks in 11.7 minutes per contest.

 The Scoop: Jaquez started in Friday's loss to the Celtics and finished with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and four turnovers across 36 minutes. However, with Andrew Wiggins (back) cleared to return, Jaquez will revert to a bench role for Sunday's road tilt. Since Dec. 1, Jaquez has averaged 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game.
