Gillespie closed with 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 win over the Warriors.
The Scoop: Gillespie briefly exited Thursday's game after a knee-to-knee collision with Jonathan Kuminga, but after a quick checkup in the locker room, he got right back into the game and didn't seem any worse for wear. That said, this is the sort of injury that could swell up overnight, so don't be surprised if Gillespie pops up on the injury report ahead of Saturday's rematch with the Warriors.

Podziemski ended with 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 loss to the Suns.
The Scoop: While most of his teammates struggled with their shot and finished with a negative differential, Podziemski scored efficiently and recorded a team-best plus/minus rating of plus-15. He hit some tough, clutch shots down the stretch and did a nice job of pushing the pace, but unfortunately, the end result was another loss for the Warriors.

George registered 34 points (9-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 11-12 FT), four rebounds and eight assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 loss to the Lakers.
The Scoop: George had his shot working from beyond the arc, where he tacked on 15 of his 34 points on the evening. He's now drilled five triples in three straight matchups, finishing with 30-plus points in all three appearances.

Coulibaly ended with three points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Spurs.
The Scoop: Coulibaly returned from a four-game absence as a result of an oblique injury, sliding straight into the starting lineup. While his role appears relatively secure, the same cannot be said about his on-court production. In eight appearances over the past month, Coulibaly has averaged just 7.6 points and 1.3 steals in 28.2 minutes per game, shooting 35.2 percent from the field. At this point, he should be viewed as nothing more than a short-term specialist for anyone needing steals.

Vukcevic amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over five minutes during Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Spurs.
The Scoop: With Alex Sarr (adductor) returning to action Thursday, Vukcevic was relegated to the third-string center, playing behind both Sarr and Marvin Bagley. While Vukcevic has had some positive moments this season, as long as the front court is relatively healthy, he can be safely ignored in all but the deepest leagues.

Gillespie (knee) has returned to Thursdays' game against the Warriors, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
The Scoop: Gillespie evidently got a quick look from the training staff and received the green light to check back in. He should be a full go down the stretch of Thursday's clash.

Gillespie went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Warriors with an apparent left knee injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
The Scoop: Gillespie appeared to bump knees with Jonathan Kuminga and limped off the floor shortly after the collision. Gillespie can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Jaquez amassed 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 win over the Nets.
The Scoop: With Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined, Jaquez has seen his minutes in the mid-30s and has been a larger part of the offense. If Herro can't give it a go Friday in Boston, Jaquez should again see a bump in minutes and usage, which would put him on the radar as a potential target in daily fantasy leagues.

Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Bucks.
The Scoop: Robinson will not return to Thursday's game after injuring his left knee during the third quarter, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest against the Hornets. Jaden Ivey, Caris LeVert and Ronald Holland will step into larger roles in Robinson's absence.

Miller totaled 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 win over the Hawks.
The Scoop: Miller was locked in on the offensive end Thursday night, pouring in 25 or more points for a second straight matchup. He's been scorching from beyond the arc during this brief stretch, knocking down nine of 17 attempts. This comes after Miller started December knocking down 29.2 percent of his tries from deep over his first three appearances, so he appears to be firmly back on track.
