Compiles 19 points from bench Brown chipped in 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Although Brown is too inconsistent for consideration in most fantasy formats, he's averaged 27.6 minutes per game this month and has ample opportunity to post the occasional high number. Thursday's result tied his best point total of the season and marked his fifth double-digit scoring total over his past six games.

Logs 22/17 double-double in loss Jokic chipped in 22 points (9-22 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 17 rebounds and six assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Jokic snapped a four-game triple-double streak in the defeat, but his 17 rebounds marked Jokic's best total off the glass since his 21-rebound effort against the Magic in late December. Although Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) remain sidelined, the rest of Jokic's supporting cast is fully healthy and ready to make a playoff push. The All-Star's prolific results should continue in Friday's back-to-back against the Trail Blazers.

Botches game-tying free throw Murray totaled 20 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Murray had a serviceable night against the Clippers, but he failed to make a game-tying free throw as time expired. He drew a foul beyond the arc with seconds remaining and nailed the first two free throws, but couldn't send the team into overtime. Despite dealing with a nagging hip injury, Murray has averaged 24.4 points, 9.0 assists and 5.1 rebounds over the month of February.
