San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol was back in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Thunder and he did some decent work in 25 minutes, nearly recording a double-double with six points and 12 rebounds. Gasol was unusually poor from the field, as he shot 2-for-7, so that killed his chances of a double-double. […]
Myles Turner Struggles in Pacers Win
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner had somewhat of a disappointing outing on Thursday in the Pacers win against the Kings. Turner scored nine points on 3-for-8 shooting from the field, including 1-for-3 from beyond the arc.

Draymond Green is Probable Thursday
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's missed three straight contest, but the Warriors basically rested Green on Tuesday. The Warriors are not playing for anything, so they can afford to be cautious with Green.

Trevor Booker Won't Play Thursday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes had a solid game as a starter in Wednesday's 97-94 win over Utah, finishing with 13 points and six rebounds in 28 minutes.

Dewayne Dedmon Grabs Double-Double In Losing Effort
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon did little to stop Karl-Anthony Towns on Wednesday, but he had a good game offensively, scoring 13 points on 6-for-11 shooting and grabbing 12 rebounds to post his third double-double in the last five games.
