It's a promising sign that Reid hasn't been ruled out for the rest of the night after suffering an ankle sprain during the second quarter. He should have a chance to test out the injured ankle when the team warms up for the second half.
Harper will shed his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a right calf contusion. With the rookie first-rounder back in action, Jordan McLaughlin will likely fall out of the rotation. Harper has averaged 12.3 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 triples in 22.9 minutes per contest over seven March appearances.
Kornet was able to test out his knee during warmups and evidently felt strong enough to give it a go Tuesday evening after missing Monday's matchup against the Clippers. He's averaging 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists through eight March outings.
Sims was spotted walking to the locker room during the first quarter due to a facial injury, and he was later diagnosed with a lip laceration that required a few stitches. The team has since stated that he should be able to check back in, which is a great sign considering both Myles Turner (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) are sidelined.
With Devin Vassell (ankle) sidelined, Barnes will get the starting nod for the first time since Feb. 5. As a starter this season (49 games), the veteran forward has averaged 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 28.2 minutes per contest.
Reid appeared to roll his ankle on an opposing player and was down on the court in pain after the play. He was eventually able to get up and walk off under his own power. Reid can be considered questionable to return until the team has an update to provide.
Sims was hit in the face while contesting a shot and exited to the locker room with 2:47 remaining in the opening quarter. Pete Nance will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way if Sims is unable to return.
Crutcher was highly effective from downtown in Monday's landslide victory, as he buried five treys for a second straight matchup. He's drilled five triples in three of his last five appearances and is averaging an impressive 23.6 points per game over that same five-game stretch.
Seabron struggled to find the bottom of the net, but he made up for it by posting a stellar final line. He missed a triple-double by one rebound and dished out double-digits assists for just the second time in 20 regular-league appearances.
Monk is in line for a fourth consecutive absence while nursing a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday against Philadelphia.
Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports that Cunningham appeared to be a bit slow getting up after diving for a basketball during the first quarter, so it seems he was experiencing the back issue early in Tuesday's game. Marcus Sasser, Caris LeVert and Daniss Jenkins could be in line for more looks the rest of the way with Cunningham done for the night. This doesn't appear to be a serious injury for the 24-year-old, who can be considered day-to-day until further notice.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, Kyle Kuzma will start at power forward while Prince draws the start at small forward. The 31-year-old has appeared in four outings this month, during which he has averaged 5.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per contest.
The Bucks are down Myles Turner (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). As a result, Sims will get the start in the middle. The 27-year-old is averaging 6.0 points, 6.6 boards, 1.2 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.1 steals in 10 starts this season.
Green ran with the first unit Sunday against Indiana, but he'll retreat to a bench role Tuesday as the Bucks elect to roll with Kevin Porter and Ryan Rollins in the backcourt. Green is averaging 5.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in his last three appearances as a reserve.
Dosunmu will enter the starting lineup in place of Anthony Edwards, who is sidelined Tuesday with right knee inflammation. Edwards will be re-evaluated in the next 1-to-2 weeks, so there figures to be plenty more opportunities for Dosunmu if he can hold his own with the first unit.
With Sam Merrill (hamstring) back in the lineup following a two-game absence, Ellis will slide to the second unit. In five appearances off the bench this month, the 26-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks in 27.8 minutes per tilt.
Kobe Brown will rejoin the starting five Tuesday, pushing Slawson to the second unit. The two-way player is still likely to see meaningful playing time in the front end of this back-to-back set due to Pascal Siakam (knee) and Micah Potter (triceps) being sidelined.
Brown will step into the starting lineup for the third time in four games as the Pacers continue to juggle injuries to Andrew Nembhard (calf) and Pascal Siakam (knee). Brown has yet to score in double figures in three starts this season, but he was effective on the glass in his last stint with the first unit Friday by securing seven rebounds.
As expected, Tyson will shed his probable tag and suit up Tuesday after missing Sunday's loss to Dallas due to left ankle soreness. The second-year forward has come off the bench in each of his last four appearances, averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest over that stretch.
Merrill will make his return to the court after missing a pair of games with left hamstring soreness. He is expected to return to the starting five with Jarrett Allen (knee) remaining sidelined.
Highsmith was initially listed as questionable due to right knee injury management, though he'll shake off that tag and suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over four appearances for the Suns, he has averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest.
As expected, Allen will take a seat Tuesday night as the Suns aim to manage his left knee soreness. His next chance to take the court will arrive Thursday in San Antonio.
After logging 38 minutes in a spot start in last Thursday's loss to the Suns, Thompson will find himself on the inactive list for the third game in a row. After he signed a two-way contract with the Pacers on Nov. 30, Thompson is eligible to suit up for 39 games at the NBA level, and he's already been active on 30 occasions. As such, Thompson will be available to play in nine of the Pacers' remaining 13 contests after Tuesday.
Peter had averaged 14.0 minutes per game while appearing in three of the Pacers' previous four contests, but Indiana will hold him out Tuesday in an effort to manage his availability for the rest of the campaign. The two-way rookie out of Liberty has been active for 40 games this season and will be eligible to suit up for 10 of the Pacers' remaining 13 contests.
Rollins was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday, though he will shed his questionable tag due to illness and suit up. Over nine March appearances (seven starts), the 23-year-old guard has averaged 14.3 points, 6.9 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 33.1 minutes per tilt.
McConnell has been battling right hamstring soreness. However, it won't be enough to keep him off the floor Tuesday. With Andrew Nembhard (calf) sidelined, McConnell may find himself starting once again. The 33-year-old got the start in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, finishing with nine points, 11 assists, two rebounds and one steal in a season-high-tying 28 minutes.
Sheppard will make his return to the hardwood following a one-game absence caused by an ankle injury. He's been unable to make much of an impact of late, as he's been held to single digits in the scoring column in six of his last seven showings.
Jackson has been cleared to suit up for a second straight outing following a two-game absence due to a right calf injury. Over six March appearances, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 5.3 points, 3.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per contest.
Toppin will shed his questionable tag and be available for the first leg of this back-to-back. He hasn't cleared 16 minutes in any of his last eight games, limiting his fantasy appeal.
Nesmith has been upgraded to available after initially being added to the injury report as questionable with an ankle injury. He's fresh off an impressive 32-point performance Sunday against Milwaukee, marking just the second time in 39 games this season that he's reached the 30-point threshold.
Siakam will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a right knee sprain. He can be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers until Indiana offers an update on his status. With the star forward sidelined, Kobe Brown, Jarace Walker and Jalen Slawson are candidates to see a bump in minutes.
Potter is out for the first time since the Feb. 3 loss to the Jazz due to a triceps injury. His absence Tuesday should free up a couple of extra minutes for Kobe Brown to pick up in the frontcourt.
Nembhard is in line for a second straight absence as a result of a bruised right calf. T.J. McConnell drew the start in Nembhard's place Sunday and should be considered the favorite to do so again Tuesday.
Dieng has missed the last two games because of an illness. Fortunately, he'll return on a night when the Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Myles Turner (calf). To make matters worse, Ryan Rollins (illness) remains questionable. Dieng has averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 0.7 steals over seven March appearances. However, the 22-year-old could be more productive with Antetokounmpo, Turner and possibly Rollins sidelined.
Zubac was added to the injury report as questionable due to a left ankle sprain, but he'll be good to go for Tuesday's clash. He's averaging 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in his first three games as a Pacer.
With Bilal Coulibaly (heel) sidelined, Champagnie will step into the starting lineup Tuesday. Champagnie has averaged 9.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.7 minutes per contest through 15 starts this season.
With Alex Sarr (toe) and Julian Reese (two-way) unavailable, Gill will get the starting nod Tuesday. During his lone start this season in a loss to Charlotte on Feb. 22, the 33-year-old posted eight points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
Carrington is filling in at point guard for the injured Trae Young (quadriceps) on Tuesday. As a member of the first unit this season, Carrington has averaged 11.6 points, 5.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 30.5 minutes per contest over 33 games.
Reese filled in as the Wizards' starting center in place of Alex Sarr (toe) in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors, finishing with 12 points, six rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes. Even though Sarr will remain out Tuesday, the Wizards will hold Reese out in an effort to manage his availability for the remainder of the season. After Tuesday's contest, the two-way player will be eligible to play in eight of Washington's remaining 14 games. With Sarr and Reese in street clothes for the matchup with Detroit, expect Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill to cover the minutes at center.
After previously missing time this season due to a left groin strain and a pair of right calf strains, Antetokounmpo is now in line for another multi-game absence due to a new injury. Milwaukee had previously listed Antetokounmpo as out for Tuesday's game against Cleveland due to a left ankle sprain, but it's the left knee injury that he suffered on an awkward fall late in Sunday's win over Indiana that will end up costing him time. With the superstar forward sidelined, the Bucks will continue to lean heavily on Kevin Porter, Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis to take on most of the usage on offense, while supporting players such as Ousmane Dieng, Jericho Sims and Pete Nance could have higher minutes floors. Given that the Bucks face a difficult path to securing a spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament, the team may not have much motivation to rush Antetokounmpo back to the court.
Turner was added to Milwaukee's injury report Monday with a right calf strain, and the team has since downgraded him to out. This will open up opportunities at center for Jericho Sims and Pete Nance.
Mashack is dealing with an ankle sprain, which he could test out during Wednesday's pregame warmups before the Grizzlies reach a decision on his status. The likes of Javon Small, Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer could all have an opportunity to be more involved in the backcourt if Mashack cannot play.
The team initially listed Mathurin as out for Wednesday's matchup, but further clarification was provided shortly after that revealed he would miss LA's next three games to undergo treatment. If all goes according to plan, Mathurin could return to the court as early as Monday against Milwaukee.
Clarke hasn't played since Dec. 20 due to a right calf strain, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. The 29-year-old big man should be considered doubtful for future contests until Memphis offers an update on his progress.
Bailey wasn't available for Sunday's loss to Sacramento. Andersson Garcia entered the starting lineup in that one, amassing three points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 43 minutes. If Bailey doesn't suit up again Wednesday, Garcia would presumably be in line for another start.
Konchar is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to left calf injury management, which would mark his fourth straight game on the inactive list. If the 29-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Andersson Garcia and Brice Sensabaugh would be candidates to see an uptick in playing time.
The guard is unlikely to pass the league's concussion protocol in time for Wednesday's action. With Williams likely sidelined, Max Christie is in the streaming mix in shallow fantasy leagues and Ryan Nembhard in deeper setups.
Martin was held out of Monday's clash against New Orleans due to right foot soreness, but he'll have another chance to return Wednesday. Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson would likely benefit if Martin is unable to suit up.
Filipowski sat out Sunday's loss to the Kings for rest purposes but is set to return to action Wednesday. The second-year center has started each of his last 12 appearances, averaging 14.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 combined steals-plus-blocks in 26.9 minutes per game during that span.
Gafford is in danger of missing a fourth consecutive matchup due to illness, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's trending in the right direction. He'll likely need to see how he feels during shootaround and warmups before the Mavericks provide another update on his availability.
Jackson is available to return from a two-game absence with right foot soreness. The third-year forward is worthy of roster consideration in most fantasy leagues, and he has averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 blocks in 25.3 minutes per contest over his last seven games.
Kuminga has been held out of four of Atlanta's last six games while managing a left knee injury, and he is in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's contest as well. If the 23-year-old forward isn't cleared to play, more minutes would be available for guys like Mouhamed Gueye, Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher.
Thompson is set to return to action Wednesday after receiving two straight games off for rest purposes. He's averaging 13.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20.7 minutes over six March appearances.
Jerome will return from a one-game absence with a bruised left shoulder. The guard has been excellent when healthy in 2025-26, averaging 20.1 points, 5.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 22.1 minutes per contest through 12 games this season.
Mathurin hasn't missed a game since Feb. 8 and has seen an uptick in playing time of late, so his absence Wednesday seems to be a scheduled rest day. If all goes according to plan, expect the Arizona product to be available for the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back Thursday, also against New Orleans.
This designation isn't much of a surprise, as the Clippers noted after Monday's matchup that Leonard would accompany the team on the road trip, and he's being considered day-to-day. Derrick Jones should be in line for more chances at small forward if Leonard is unable to go Wednesday.
Collier left Sunday's loss to the Kings due to a right knee contusion, but he's good to go for Wednesday. Over his last seven appearances, Collier has averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 25.8 minutes per game.
Robinson popped up on the injury report because of back tightness. However, it won't keep him off the floor Tuesday. The 27-year-old is coming off a four-point, 10-rebound, three-steal and two-block effort over 17 minutes in Sunday's win over Golden State. While he hasn't been a consistent producer offensively, there's a chance he will get more involved on the scoring end, considering Jalen Brunson (neck/ankle) won't suit up.
The Clippers are considering sitting Garland down Wednesday for the first half of this back-to-back. Expect another update on his availability closer to game time.
With Jalen Brunson (neck/ankle) sitting out Tuesday, Alvarado is in line for his first start of the season. He hasn't reached the 20-minute mark since the Feb. 24 loss to the Cavaliers, but Alvarado looks to be a viable plug-and-play option for fantasy managers in a pinch.
Antetokounmpo carried a questionable tag into Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain, and the team has since chosen to sit him down. Milwaukee has several other key rotation players on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash, including Myles Turner (calf), Ryan Rollins (illness), and Ousmane Dieng (illness). So, the squad could be thin in the frontcourt depending on how things shake out leading up to tipoff.
This is the first notable progress report in some time on McBride, who underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury in early February. Stefan Bondy of The New York Post states that McBride is optimistic about a return for the postseason, but the team isn't yet ready to reveal a timetable for the 25-year-old's return at this stage in his rehab.
Brunson was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest due to right ankle injury management and a cervical strain, though he was downgraded to doubtful Tuesday morning and has now officially been ruled out. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nets. With Brunson sidelined, Landry Shamet and Jose Alvarado are candidates for increased playing time, while Tyler Kolek may return to the rotation.
Jackson-Davis will be available to play in Raptors 905's matchup against the Motor City Cruise on Tuesday following this transaction. He hasn't seen much NBA action of late, averaging 2.0 rebounds in 2.8 minutes over four appearances since Feb. 28, so this will be an opportunity for the Indiana product to stay sharp.
Adebayo was initially added to the team's injury report as questionable due to right calf tightness, but he was downgraded to doubtful earlier Tuesday morning and has now officially been ruled out. This should mean more opportunities in the frontcourt for Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic, though Simone Fontecchio could also be more involved in the rotation with Andrew Wiggins (toe) also sidelined Tuesday.
Williams wasn't available for Monday's win over Brooklyn. If that trend continues Wednesday, Sidy Cissoko would presumably absorb most of the bench minutes behind Donovan Clingan. Cissoko had zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-0 FT), three rebounds and three assists against the Nets in 21 minutes of work.
McGowens will miss a fourth straight game Wednesday due to a right small toe fracture and is without a clear timetable for a return. His next opportunity to play will come in Thursday's rematch against the Clippers.
Murray was also listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against Dallas but was ultimately downgraded to out due to illness. He'll presumably attempt to go through shootaround and pregame warmups to try to gain clearance to suit up Wednesday.
Cryer was held out Monday against Washington while battling a left hamstring issue, but he'll have a chance to return for Wednesday's game. The Warriors should have another update on his availability in Boston closer to tipoff.
Moody will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to a right wrist sprain, and his next opportunity to play will come Friday in Detroit. The 23-year-old forward has been cleared for on-court work and is traveling with the team, though it's not a positive sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With Moody sidelined, Gary Payton (lower leg), Malevy Leons and Will Richard are candidates to see increased minutes.
The issue doesn't sound to be severe enough to stop Payton from playing Wednesday. The guard has moved into a more prominent role of late, averaging 13.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.0 minutes per contest over his last eight games.
Post was unable to take the floor Monday against Golden State due to a right foot injury. However, he's been upgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash, meaning he should at least have a chance to prove his health during shootaround and pregame warmups.
Krejci was held out of Monday's matchup due to a left calf issue, and he's not yet been able to shake off the injury. It'll be worth keeping a close eye on his status leading up to tipoff, as the team should have another update closer to game time.
Green had received playing time in each of the Rockets' previous four games, but even though Alperen Sengun (back) remained out Monday, the former was unable to crack head coach Ime Udoka's rotation. Sengun is listed as available for Wednesday's rematch with the Lakers, so Green's brief window to claim a spot in the second unit appears to have closed.
The questionable tag suggests that Saraf is day-to-day. Over his last eight contests, he's been more involved with averages of 7.9 points, 4.1 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 21.9 minutes per contest.
Mann is likely to end a one-game absence due to the issue. The veteran swingman had played fewer than 20 minutes in his prior two contests before getting injured, so he could be difficult to trust as a streaming option in fantasy leagues.
After a recent stretch in which he appeared in five straight games and averaged 12.0 minutes, Vanderbilt has now been left out of head coach JJ Redick's rotation for the past two contests. The Lakers seem content to lean on Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura to fill out minutes in the frontcourt when starters LeBron James and Deandre Ayton are off the court.
Traore has played a modest role for the Nets in recent weeks. Over his last seven outings, he's shooting 33.9 percent from the field with 7.7 points and 3.0 assists in 19.3 minutes per contest.
Clowney is set to return from a one-game absence for rest purposes. Though he appears to be locked into a starting role, Clowney has logged 20 minutes or fewer in four consecutive contests while scoring 10 points or fewer in each outing during this stretch.
Porter remains day-to-day after missing the past three games for Brooklyn. If he continues to miss time, the Nets would likely lean more on Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson and Josh Minott.
The rookie first-rounder practiced Tuesday, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca, but it doesn't sound like he'll be ready for game action Wednesday. With Murray-Boyles expected to miss a ninth straight contest, Sandro Mamukelashvili should have the backup center gig all to himself behind Jakob Poeltl.
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said Monday that he's optimistic Harper will be available for Tuesday's game, but it sounds like he could be a game-time call. With Devin Vassell (ankle) out, Harper could see a large role if he's able to suit up.
It's worth noting that head coach Mitch Johnson said Monday he's optimistic that Kornet would play Tuesday. If Kornet is unable to suit up, Carter Bryant would have an opportunity to seize a more prominent role in the frontcourt.
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so this could simply be a maintenance day to manage the soreness. Vassell had 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 119-115 victory over the Clippers. Dylan Harper, who is questionable with his calf issue, could be more involved if he gets the green light to play.
After sitting out Houston's past two contests with a back issue, the star big man is ready to roll for Wednesday. Clint Capela should revert back to the No. 2 center spot after drawing a spot start during Monday's meeting with the Lakers. Sengun has averaged 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games, shooting 54.4 percent from the field.
A firm target date for Edwards' return hasn't been established, but since he's not scheduled to be re-evaluated for at least another week, he can safely be ruled out for the Timberwolves' next four games. In the meantime, players like Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland could take on more minutes, while starters Donte DiVincenzo, Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels could notice spikes in usage.
With Minnesota's frontcourt healthy, the rookie first-rounder should continue to see consistent reps with Iowa moving ahead. Through eight G League regular-season contests, Beringer is averaging 15.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 30.5 minutes per tilt while shooting 64.0 percent from the field.
Abmas tied a season high in scoring Monday, submitting a game-high total in the process. Over his last 10 G League contests, the swingman is averaging 22.6 points, 4.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 37.0 minutes per game.
Despite coming off the bench, the undrafted rookie dropped a game-high 37 points Monday. Kelly has made six G League appearances since being let go by Mavericks, averaging 26.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.5 minutes per game for the Texas Legends.
Terry is ready to return from a one-game absence with a left shoulder impingement. Over his last five appearances, Terry has averaged 5.8 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game.
Following his NBA debut with the Clippers a week ago, the two-way player has since reported back to the G League to continue his development. Through his first five appearances for San Diego, Pedulla is averaging 24.0 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 30.6 minutes per game.
Sexton has a chance to end a four-game absence with a left lower-leg contusion. With Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both sidelined, Tre Jones is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues, and Rob Dillingham should be on the radaer in deeper formats until Sexton is cleared to return.
Okoro is likely going to be sidelined for a fifth straight game Wednesday. The Bulls play the second leg of a back-to-back set Thursday, but it's unclear if Okoro will be ready in time for that one. Leonard Miller should continue to see an expanded role in Okoro's presumed absence.
After scoring a season-high 16 points in 19 minutes during Monday's loss to the Celtics, Highsmith might sit out the second leg of Phoenix's back-to-back for right knee injury management. If Highsmith sits out, Ryan Dunn could re-enter the rotation after not playing in either of the last two contests.
Allen is expected to sit out during the second leg of this back-to-back set to manage knee soreness. He's missed two games in March due to an ongoing knee injury and took a hard fall Monday in Boston after stepping on Hugo Gonzalez's foot during a drive. Allen stayed in the game, but his minutes were limited the rest of the way. As a result, Jordan Goodwin and Ryan Dunn could potentially pick up more run Tuesday.
Since landing a two-way deal with the Clippers, Omier has made three brief appearances with the NBA club but remains more likely to see steady action in the G League going forward. Over five contests with San Diego, Omier is averaging 16.4 points, 14.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.4 minutes per game.
Matkovic nabbed his first double-double of the year, and he's resurfaced in the Pelicans' rotation for six straight games after falling out of the mix. New Orleans appears to be content with riding a hot-hand approach at center between Yves Missi, Derik Queen and Matkovic. That said, Matkovic hasn't drawn a start since Jan. 7 and might remain tough to trust in fantasy lineups in this timeshare.
Williamson continues to score in bunches, putting up at least 19 points in seven consecutive games. The star forward has missed just one contest since the middle of December, so the Pelicans haven't been particularly cautious about his workload. Williamson has averaged 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.5 minutes per game in his last seven outings, shooting 64.8 percent from the floor.
With Devin Booker and Jalen Green combining for 61 points, Gillespie took a backseat on offense. His fantasy appeal hasn't been great lately, as he's shooting 37.7 percent from the field over his last eight games with 9.6 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.
With Jayson Tatum healthy and gobbling up touches in this offense, Hauser's fantasy appeal is going to take a hit. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging 8.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in 26.2 minutes per contest.
With Dejounte Murray back in action, the 23-46 Pelicans have gone away from deploying the rookie first-rounder as a starter, and Fears' playing time remains up and down in a bench role. Fears could remain difficult to trust in fantasy lineups when the New Orleans backcourt is mostly healthy, as he's averaged 11.0 points, 3.3 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game across his last seven contests.
Johnson recorded his 13th triple-double of the season in Monday's win. He's right on the edge of first-round value in nine-category formats this season on a per-game basis with 23.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.
Although Smart produced a mediocre line, he converted beyond the arc during some key moments where momentum was beginning to turn Houston's way. Smart's production is muted because the top three scoring options on the squad are locked up. If it doesn't improve, his 57-game average of 9.6 points would mark only the second time in his career that he's failed to average 10 or more points.
With Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both out for at least one more week, Jones remains worth rostering in the majority of fantasy formats. Jones has averaged 17.6 points, 4.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 29.4 minutes per tilt in his last nine games (seven starts) while shooting an efficient 57.8 percent from the floor.
Daniels picked up his 11th double-double of the campaign as the Hawks improved to 37-31 on the season. Daniels is trending up in fantasy hoops, posting second-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games with averages of 13.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks.
Giddey continues to pile up triple-doubles, accomplishing this feat in five of his last seven appearances. The star guard appears primed to cap off the campaign on a high note after missing some time with a hamstring injury in February. Over his last seven outings, Giddey has averaged 19.0 points, 12.0 assists, 11.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 36.4 minutes per game.
Due to some poor shooting and low minutes, Johnson has struggled to generate much momentum in fantasy hoops. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.3 three-pointers on 36.0 percent shooting from the field.
With Alex Sarr (toe) out Monday, Sarr saw a major workload in the loss. Gill's upside remains very low, however, making him a lukewarm streaming option Tuesday against Detroit, even with several players sitting out for Washington.
The one-and-done freshman from Arizona hasn't consistently contributed as a rookie, but he's appeared in 57 games with the parent club and shown flashes of elite defense. Monday marked his seventh game with a double-digit scoring total, but his role will likely decrease when Luke Kornet (knee) and Dylan Harper (calf) are cleared to return.
The two-way player is beginning to carve out a role at the NBA level, appearing in five consecutive games for the Nets. Etienne has now scored in double digits in back-to-back contests during this span, and his playing time is worth monitoring as Brooklyn starts to embrace a youth movement down the stretch of a lost season.
This was a decent showing for Spencer, but he remains a low-end fantasy asset despite the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). Over his last seven games, Spencer is averaging 8.6 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.1 minutes per contest.
The 16 points were a season high for Highsmith, who continues to slowly work his way back from offseason right knee surgery from a workload perspective. Over his first four appearances of the year, Highsmith has averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.8 minutes per game.
Jones has typically stepped up when Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is absent, but a poor shooting night thwarted that possibility. The support role for Leonard has fallen to Bennedict Mathurin with more frequency, although it was Jordan Miller's 22-point pop from the bench that absorbed a good chunk of Leonard's lost output Monday.
Smith assumed a larger role in the frontcourt during the loss, absorbing Alperen Sengun's (back) lost output. Smith's frame and skill set would be enough to play the five on almost any other team in the league, but Sengun's presence has limited his ability to embrace that kind of role. Smith is still having a great fourth season in his role, averaging 15.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 63 games.
James failed to exceed 20 points for the fourth consecutive game, but he continued to provide his typical intangibles in a complementary role to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. James has averaged 25.3 points per game since his recent three-game absence, so the elder statesman shows no signs of slowing down while battling hip and foot injuries.
Fox went scoreless beyond the arc but still managed to get 18 points thanks to six converted shots and a perfect night at the charity stripe. The battle for fantasy supremacy went to Stephon Castle in the win, although Fox has bested his teammate with more frequency in recent weeks. He's in the midst of a productive month, averaging 19.2 points, 7.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds over the past nine games.
Wembanyama struggled a bit with his perimeter shot but was otherwise impressive in the victory. He seemed to show no ill effects from the ankle injury that forced a one-game absence last week. Although he underperformed over a two-game span in late February, he's compiled six double-doubles since the brief downturn.
Mathurin was expected to see increased usage during Kawhi Leonard's (ankle) absence, but the former's total wasn't enough to overcome a productive night from the Spurs. Mathurin snapped an impressive five-game streak of 20-plus point performances. He'll try to renew that streak on the road for a two-game set against the Pelicans.
Although Thompson finished with a quality line, Alperen Sengun's (back) absence had a significant impact on Houston's effectiveness on both sides of the ball. Thompson has played solid ball over the past five games, averaging 20.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
Collins was one rebound shy of a double-double in the defeat. His playing time was restricted again, although his minutes increased by six over the previous contest, when he returned from a seven-game absence. Collins could also see a boost in the short term if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is forced to miss extended time.
Reid is battling a right shoulder contusion, but the issue won't stop him from playing the first half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. The big man has averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.4 minutes per game over his last six contests, and Reid should see a bump in usage due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee).
Although his scoring was successfully contained, Ayton had a clear advantage on the glass due to Alperen Sengun (back) being out of commission. The result snapped a short double-double streak that Ayton was building, which was aided by a five-game average of 10.0 rebounds per game.
Young will be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set after leaving Monday's loss to the Warriors early following a collision with Will Richard. Young was able to leave under his own power, but the Wizards are expected to be extremely cautious with their new point guard the rest of the way. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.
Black will miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.
Coulibaly is going to be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The forward produced 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors. Jamir Watkins and Will Riley could see a bump in minutes as a result Tuesday.
Sarr will end up sitting out both legs of this back-to-back set. With how the Wizards have handled the minutes and maintenance days of their key players, fantasy managers should prepare for more headaches down the stretch. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese could see a bump in involvement Tuesday.
Rollins was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. If he's unable to give it a go, the Bucks may need Cam Thomas to enter the rotation again.
Black will be sidelined for a sixth straight game, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return, with the Magic announcing last week that his return timeline will depend on how he responds to treatment. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Charlotte.
As expected, Larsson was able to shed his probable tag for this contest. He'll be on the streaming radar Tuesday, with Andrew Wiggins (toe) already ruled out and Bam Adebayo (calf) listed as doubtful.
After nearly a month on the shelf, Jovic is set to return to the lineup. Bam Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday, so there are some minutes up for grabs in Miami.
Adebayo appears likely to miss his first game since Dec. 27. He was previously labeled as questionable, so he can be treated as day-to-day for now. With this news, Kel'el Ware could step into a major role as Miami's starting center, making him a popular target in daily formats.
Alexander operated as his side's biggest scoring threat, posting a season-high tally of points during Monday's clash. He also came one assist short of recording a second straight double-double. Alexander is one of New Orleans' two-way options but has seen almost all of his action with Birmingham, where he has generated team-high averages of 22.8 points and 7.4 assists per game during the regular season.
Dickinson put in an efficient display along with a variety of contributions that led to his first triple-double of the season. Despite being signed under a two-way contract, the center is rarely considered by the Pelicans and has remained a regular G League asset throughout the campaign. He's one of the Squadron's top performers in several stats, and his 23 double-doubles are now the third-highest total in the G League.
Along with Kornet, Johnson also expressed confidence that guard Dylan Harper (calf) would be available Tuesday, which would bring the San Antonio rotation back to full strength. While Kornet was sidelined for Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers due to a sore right knee, Carter Bryant (21 minutes) saw a slightly heightened role, and Mason Plumlee (six minutes) was added to the rotation as a backup option behind Victor Wembanyama.
Along with Harper, Johnson also expressed confidence that center Luke Kornet (knee) would be available Tuesday, which would bring the San Antonio rotation back to full strength. While Harper was sidelined for a second straight game in Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers due to a bruised right calf, Stephon Castle (36 minutes) and Devin Vassell (35 minutes) saw slightly elevated roles, and Jordan McLaughlin (10 minutes) was added to the rotation.
Johnson had his best offensive performance of the season with high activity from the field and from the charity stripe during the loss. The 43 points set a career best for Johnson and more than doubled his previous season-high count of 21. He has seen increased playing time off the bench lately and could push for a bigger role in the final stretch of the campaign.
Robinson was a very late addition to the injury report. Considering the opponent, the Knicks may opt to proceed with caution. Ariel Hukporti could soak up some backup center minutes if Robinson is held out.
McClung kept his high-scoring streak alive, exceeding 30 points for the sixth time in his last eight games, but he fell a bit short of his recent assisting success and couldn't record a double-double. The two-way guard remains one of the most reliable players in the G League, with regular-season averages of 30.4 points and 7.9 assists per contest. He hasn't played at the NBA level since Feb. 5, so he's expected to remain active with the affiliate team going forward.
Brunson was previously listed as questionable, but the Knicks seemingly believe it's in his best interest to rest up against this struggling opponent. With Brunson expected to sit, Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet could be more involved in the Knicks' backcourt, but Karl-Anthony Towns will presumably be the go-to scorer.
Jackson turned some heads in limited minutes Monday, perhaps giving the coaching staff something to think about. Brook Lopez has been solid for the most part as Los Angeles' starting center, but he posted a major dud in 24 minutes Monday. Keep an eye on Jackson in case he builds on this momentum.
With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sidelined, Miller took advantage of some extra touches and was an obvious standout for the Clippers. Miller has a lot of upside when the minutes are there, making him a valuable streamer if Leonard continues to miss time. Leonard is traveling with the team and is considered day-to-day.
Knox ended up with a massive output powered by his three-point efficiency and a fine defensive effort. The 40 points represented a G League career-high mark for him, and the double-double was his 11th of the 2025-26 campaign. He's in solid form after achieving more than 30 points in each of his last two starts and at least eight rebounds in three consecutive contests.
This was a major dud for Lopez, but he's been solid enough to warrant another chance from his fantasy managers. Over his last eight games, he's producing ninth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 10.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.
Vassell continues to excel as a complementary wing piece in San Antonio. Over his last 14 games, he's returning seventh-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per contest.
Davis has recovered from the health issue that left him out of the previous contest. While he wasn't productive in his return, Davis could eventually see increased playing time, considering he recorded more than 20 minutes in nine of his last 10 appearances before suffering the illness. Over that period, most of his production came from shooting numbers.
Leonard was unavailable for Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs after spraining his left ankle late in Saturday's 118-109 loss to the Kings. Prior to sitting out Monday's contest, Leonard had played in 23 of the Clippers' previous 24 games. While the Clippers are seemingly optimistic that Leonard will be back in action soon, he's not guaranteed to be available for any of the upcoming three road contests. Though Kobe Sanders (17 minutes) and Cam Christie (six minutes) both re-entered the rotation Monday to absorb most of Leonard's vacated playing time, Jordan Miller (22 points in 26 minutes) was the biggest beneficiary from a usage standpoint.
The Spurs improve to 7-2 in March, with Castle putting on another impressive display. During that nine-game stretch, Castle has shot 46.8 percent from the field while averaging 17.1 points, 8.1 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.
Sharp bounced back straight into the starting lineup after dealing with a slight issue, and his 11 rebounds ranked as the second-highest figure on the team Monday. He's now averaging 8.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game and could continue to remain valuable on the boards if he starts when two-way player Moussa Cisse is not with the G League squad.
Dadiet should be available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, but unless Jalen Brunson (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable -- ends up sitting out, the Knicks may not have room in the rotation for the second-year forward.
Newell had been active for the Hawks' game against the Magic on Monday, but he remained out of the rotation for Atlanta's 124-112 win. The rookie first-round pick should be in line for extended playing time with College Park in its game Tuesday versus the Austin Spurs.
The update isn't especially surprising, given that Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Sunday that Stewart was without a clear timeline for a return. Bickerstaff also said Stewart has been playing through the injury recently, but it worsened, so the Pistons opted to shut him down. Until Stewart is cleared to play, Paul Reed should remain in the rotation as the backup to starting center Jalen Duren, while forwards Javonte Green and Ronald Holland could see slightly elevated roles.
Antetokounmpo was back in action after he was sidelined for about a week due to an illness. The 24-year-old forward has been under contract with the Bucks on a two-way deal throughout the season, but he's yet to make his NBA debut. Antetokounmpo has made all 42 of his appearances in 2025-26 with the Herd, averaging 4.9 points (on 38.9 percent shooting from the field), 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.9 minutes per game.
The Lakers are rolling right now with six straight wins, and Doncic appears to be in elite form. During that stretch, Doncic is shooting 48.7 percent from the field to go with averages of 37.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 2.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 5.5 three-pointers.
Cain failed to make an impact off the bench in his comeback from a short absence. With only one double-digit scoring performance and little production in other categories over six games this season, he's unlikely to take meaningful playing time away from Jahmyl Telfort for the rest of the campaign.
Ryan suited up for the Herd for the first time since Feb. 27, after an undisclosed injury or illness had kept him out of action for more than two weeks. The second-year wing out of North Carolina rolled to his fourth straight 20-plus-point performance and is now averaging 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 3.0 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 31.5 minutes per game through 31 appearances for the Herd. Ryan signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Bucks on Feb. 26, but he's still waiting to make his NBA debut.
Reaves helped the Lakers pick up their sixth straight win, improving the team to 43-25 on the season. During this stretch, Reaves has been terrific with averages of 25.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 49.5 percent shooting from the field.
Woolridge has been a regular starter when available over the last few weeks but has struggled to stay healthy throughout the season, and it's now possible he'll be forced to miss more time if his current blow is significant. The guard previously had an inconsistent campaign but posted a season-high 13 rebounds in his last outing. Lucas Williamson could see increased playing time if Woolridge remains out for more games.
Durant wasn't able to find much success, with the Lakers throwing constant double teams at him. His fantasy managers haven't had much to complain about this season, however, as he's on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 25.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.
Bryant had returned from an apparently minor knee issue and made two appearances before suffering the new injury. He's now questionable for upcoming matchups, but he'll likely play a limited role off the bench when he's back. His continued absence would leave the team with little depth behind Kevin Knox going forward.
Eason saw plenty of usage in this contest and had a decent line apart from his woeful shooting. He's in the midst of a difficult stretch for Houston, posting averages of 5.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 26.3 minutes across his last seven appearances.
Alperen Sengun (back) sat this contest out, allowing Capela to grab a fill-in start at center. Capela has been used sparingly by the Rockets this season. However, if Sengun continues to miss time, Capela will be a viable streaming option for rebounds, defensive stats and field-goal percentage.
McNeeley will join the Swarm for the team's practice Tuesday but could rejoin the Hornets later in the day ahead of their matchup with the Heat. The rookie first-round pick hasn't suited up for Charlotte's last three games due to a left ankle sprain, but he's since been removed from the team's injury report and should be available off the bench if the Hornets recall him for Tuesday's contest. Don't expect McNeeley to be included in the rotation, however.
Evbuomwan will join the Swarm for the team's practice Tuesday but could rejoin the Hornets later in the day ahead of their matchup with the Heat. The two-way player has yet to debut for Charlotte since signing his contract in early February.
Johnson is expected to suit up for the Legends in their matchup Tuesday with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers before being recalled ahead of the Mavericks' next game Wednesday versus the Hawks. Since being acquired from the Wizards at the trade deadline, Johnson has been an inconsistent part of the Dallas rotation, appearing in 13 games while averaging 3.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 9.9 minutes per contest.
McNeeley has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury, but he's been given a clean bill of health after being left off the injury report. He isn't currently part of Charlotte's rotation, so while he'll be available Tuesday, he's unlikely to see any action.
Garland pieced together yet another impressive all-around performance, but it wasn't enough to will LA to a victory. He scored 20-plus points for a fifth straight game and recorded his first double-double since returning from a right big toe sprain by making his mark as a facilitator. The Clippers will gear up for a back-to-back set later in the week, so it's possible that Garland will sit either Wednesday or Thursday in an effort to keep him healthy.
Poole was back in the rotation for the first time in the past eight games, likely as a result of Dejounte Murray being ruled out due to illness. In what has been a frustrating season for Poole, this appearance is likely to be a cameo rather than what to expect moving forward. Barring a shift in the teams' direction, Poole seems destined to spend a lot more time on the bench.
Missi moved into the starting lineup, with Dejounte Murray ruled out due to illness. Rather than replace Murray, the coaching staff decided to shuffle the rotation, allowing Missi to slide into the starting center role. Rewarding anyone who took a chance on him, Missi turned in a solid performance, including a season-high five blocks. While Missi is a name to monitor, recent games would suggest that he is nothing more than a streaming consideration on most nights.
Bey got back on track, scoring double digits for the first time in his past three games. In what has been a breakout season for Bey, he had been in a minor slump of late. The production had been underwhelming, but it appears his role is secure, as he has played at least 29 minutes in all but one of his past 10 games. With New Orleans looking to win, despite its record, Bey remains a must-roster player across all formats.
Poulakidas remained in the rotation, suiting up for just the third time this season. Currently on a two-way deal, there is a chance Poulakidas could find himself on the floor a little more as the season winds down. With that said, he is not someone managers need to concern themselves with at this point.
Middleton scored no more than six points for the third straight game, prior to which he erupted for a season-high 35 points. While the talent is still there. Middleton simply can't sustain meaningful production at this point. Even with his 35-point effort, Middleton sits outside the top-150 players in five games over the past week, averaging 13.2 points, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers.
Nembhard remained in the starting lineup, making it three straight starts for the rookie. Despite the promotion, production has not followed, averaging just 7.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers during that time. Given his lack of offensive polish, Nembhard should be viewed as nothing more than a potential assists streamer.
Buzelis put together another commanding performance, becoming the first Bulls player to record at least 100 three-pointers and 100 blocks in a single season. He is also now one of only two players in the league to have recorded at least 100 three-pointers and 100 blocks this season, the other being Victor Wembanyama. From a fantasy perspective, Buzelis has been a borderline top-40 player in 12 games over the past month, averaging 20.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.7 blocks and 3.1 three-pointers.
Kawamura saw an increase in playing time, albeit during the home stretch, when the result was already in the bag. While he has endeared himself to the Chicago fans, Kawamura is not someone who needs to be considered in fantasy leagues.
Smith delivered an underwhelming performance, continuing his recent struggles. Outside of a double-double during a win over Golden State, Smith has offered very little in terms of meaningful fantasy production. In four games since returning from injury, he has averaged just 10.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top-250 players during that time. With potentially just one more game this week, those in their fantasy playoffs should be fine with moving on.
Rupert was back in action after missing the previous game and slid into the starting lineup in place of GG Jackson (foot). However, Rupert was unable to offer much outside of his defensive contributions. Prior to Monday, Rupert had scored double digits in three straight games, while providing serviceable rebound numbers from the wing. It's hard to view him as a must-roster player, but he should at least be on the radar for streaming purposes when available.
Despite being one of the more consistent members of the Memphis backcourt, at least in terms of playing time, Mashack continues to offer very little in the way of fantasy upside. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 26.4 minutes per game. At this point, there are likely more enticing options available on your waiver wire.
Clayton returned from a three-game absence as a result of an ankle injury, slotting straight into the starting lineup. While it wasn't the most productive night, Clayton did manage to hand out at least six assists for the fifth straight game. Memphis' guard rotation continues to be highly unpredictable, making fantasy value almost impossible to project. With that said, when healthy, it does appear as though Clayton will feature on most nights, having logged at least 24 minutes in six of his past seven appearances.
Lanier combined with teammate Isaac Jones for 67 points on the way to an impressive victory. This marks the first time in 16 regular-season appearances that Lanier has reached the 30-point threshold, and he also set a season high in rebounds.
Williams surged to a second straight double-double after failing to tally a double-double in his first six appearances of March. He continues to piece together a strong 2025-26 campaign in the G League, averaging 16.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 43 games.
Holmes turned in a strong double-double in the victory and combined with Coleman Hawkins for 23 total rebounds. Holmes has now secured a double-double in two of his last three matchups and is averaging 21.8 points and 7.8 rebounds through six regular-season outings with Grand Rapids.
Boeheim led his team in scoring, three-point attempts and three-point makes, as he continues to be aggressive on the offensive end. He's attempted double-digit threes in all nine regular-season games and is hitting at a clip of 35.9 percent while averaging 18.6 points.
Saraf provided a spark off the bench, tallying 15 points while recording a game-high and season-best four steals. The guard has now scored in double figures in each of his past four games, a notable stretch considering he had reached the 10-point mark just four times across the rest of the campaign. With fellow rookie Egor Demin (foot) out for the year, Saraf should continue to see extended opportunities down the stretch of the regular season.
Jourdain led Westchester in rebounds and bench points on the way to his second double-double in four games. Consistency has been a concern at times for the 24-year-old, but he's shown that he can produce at a high level if handed enough minutes.
Mathias did enough individually to keep his team in contention for a victory, but he was one of only two starters to score in double figures. He's been an obvious bright spot through five regular-season appearances for Noblesville, as he's averaging 26.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 40.5 minutes per game.
Claxton snapped a four-game stretch of single-digit scoring with a 12-point performance while recording his first double-double since Feb. 9. The big man is now up to 11 double-doubles this season, though nine of those came before the calendar flipped to 2026. After averaging 9.9 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign, Claxton's production on the glass has dipped over the past two seasons, as he entered Monday averaging 7.1 rebounds across 60 appearances.
Kaluma led South Bay in scoring by posting an efficient shooting line. He set a new regular-season high in points and collected his first swat since March 4. Kaluma is now averaging 14.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists through 29 regular-season outings.
Nunn turned in another solid showing and has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games. He's gotten off to a strong start to March by putting up double digits in the scoring column in four of his first five appearances.
Dennis' main contribution on the night came in the scoring department, as he led his club with 24 points on a team-high four made treys. He's now averaging 19.2 points on 47.1 percent shooting from the field over 24 regular-season appearances.
Morales was one of two starters to reach the 20-point threshold, and he led Osceola in scoring by launching a balanced offensive attack. The 28-year-old is still in search of his NBA debut but has found success across 33 G League appearances this season, averaging 16.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game.
Johnson made a strong impact off the bench, leading the Nets in scoring while finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. The undrafted rookie out of Auburn made his NBA debut March 9 and entered Monday's contest averaging 4.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 17.8 minutes across four appearances.
After going unused off the bench Sunday, Murray saw extended run Monday and made the most of it, contributing an ultra-efficient 14 points in a winning effort. This marked the Iowa product's second-highest scoring output of the season, with his top mark being a 16-point performance against the Timberwolves on Feb. 24, and his ninth double-digit scoring effort of the campaign. The availability of Vit Krejci (calf) moving forward will likely factor into Murray's role, though Monday's showing bodes well for him to remain in the rotation.
Avdija wasn't efficient from the field but still worked his way to 18 points by getting to the free-throw line consistently. Beyond scoring, the wing has now recorded double-digit totals in combined rebounds and assists in each of his past five contests. While injuries have interrupted his season at times, the 25-year-old has still put together a strong 2025-26 campaign, particularly as a scorer.
Clingan was productive as both a scorer and rebounder, tallying his 29th double-double of the campaign in Monday's win. The 22-year-old has been tenacious on the offensive glass of late, grabbing five offensive rebounds in each of his past three outings. Through eight March appearances, Clingan has already recorded six double-doubles.
Pritchard once again gave the Celtics a much-needed boost off the bench, finishing as the team's fourth-leading scorer while co-leading in assists with Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta. Pritchard entered Monday's game having connected on just 18.8 percent of his three-point attempts (on 6.4 3PA/G) over his last five outings, so seeing his success from beyond the arc against Phoenix was a promising sign.
Green helped the Suns keep pace with 15 points in the first half (including 10 in the second quarter), though he connected on just two of his nine field-goal attempts in the final two frames. Despite his struggles from beyond the arc Monday, Green eclipsed the 20-point mark for a sixth consecutive game. Over that six-game stretch, he has averaged 27.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 3.7 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.7 minutes per game.
Kuminga returned from a one-game absence due to ongoing knee issues and struggled to find any rhythm on the offensive end. After three encouraging performances following his trade from Golden State, Kuminga has been a non-factor. He has played in just two of the past six games, averaging 4.5 points and 8.5 rebounds, shooting 18.2 percent from the field and 54.8 percent from the line.
Vincent failed to score for the third time in his past six games, once again playing a limited role off the bench. Since being traded to Atlanta, Vincent has struggled to carve out a meaningful role, reaching double digits only once in 11 appearances. As a player who is outside the top-400 rankings this season, Vincent holds no fantasy value, even in deeper formats.
Tatum paced the Celtics in the third quarter with nine points, and he finished tied with Derrick White as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jaylen Brown (41 points). Tatum continues to improve his conditioning after 10 months of rehab for a ruptured right Achilles tendon. The fact that he's played 32 minutes in back-to-back games is a good sign, though he'll likely sit out one game during back-to-back sets as the Celtics ramp up for the postseason. Tatum has scored at least 20 points in four straight games, though he's shooting just 25.0 percent from beyond the arc (10.0 3PA/G) over that span.
Landale was subdued once again, having now scored double digits only once in the past six games. During that time, he has averaged just 6.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, despite serving as the primary backup behind Onyeka Okongwu. For those in standard formats, Landale should not even be on the radar at this point.
Bitadze continues to serve as the third-string center, having seen the court only six times in the past 12 games. During that time, he has averaged just 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.
Marshall certainly did his part in this one by leading the Mavs in scoring while finishing second on his club in both rebounds and assists. It's fair to categorize this two-day stretch as a major success for the Xavier product, who cruised to a 25-point showing Sunday against Cleveland. Marshall was averaging 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in his first six games of March heading into this back-to-back set, so it's reassuring to see him find his groove, especially while playing alongside other key contributors such as Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington.
Coulibaly was efficient in his scoring effort, shooting 70 percent from the field while knocking down both of his three-point attempts. Not typically known for his outside shooting, the young forward has now converted multiple threes in three straight games for the first time this season. In addition to his scoring contributions, Coulibaly's eight rebounds Monday marked his highest total since Jan. 29.
Despite continuing to play a sizeable role, da Silva was unable to maintain his recent production. In fact, this was arguably his worst performance in the past month, during which he has managed to put up top-40 value in standard leagues. In 14 appearances over that time, he has averaged 12.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers. Despite this effort, he is worth holding for the time being, at least while Anthony Black (abdomen) and Franz Wagner (ankle) are sidelined.
White did most of his scoring damage in the second quarter with 16 points (including four three-pointers) and finished tied with Jayson Tatum for the second-most points on the Celtics behind Jaylen Brown (41). It was the second time since Feb. 1 that White played less than 30 minutes as he found himself in foul trouble, but he still put together a solid stat line. He has averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.2 minutes per game since March 1.
After logging 19 minutes and producing 12 points, seven rebounds and one block in the Magic's previous game Saturday in Miami, Cain remained in the rotation for the second straight contest. The two-way player hasn't been a factor for the Magic for much of the season, but Cain appears to have at least temporarily gained the trust of head coach Jamahl Mosley. Cain could see his minor role in the rotation disappear once the likes of Anthony Black (abdomen) and Franz Wagner (ankle) return to action, however.
Riley bounced back from a pair of single-digit scoring efforts over his previous two games with a 21-point performance. Monday marked the rookie's fourth 20-point outing of the year, as well as the fourth time he's connected on four triples in a game. After not seeing consistent playing time to open the campaign, Riley has emerged as a consistent contributor down the stretch for the Wizards, logging 25-plus minutes in each of his past 12 appearances.
Buzelis continues to let it fly from beyond the arc and has now attempted double-digit triples in four straight matchups. He hasn't been particularly effective from deep during this stretch, but he has managed to drill five treys on two separate occasions. Buzelis also responded well after failing to record a defensive stat in his previous appearance by swatting three shots Monday, marking the second time he's done so through seven March showings.
Booker carried the Suns' offensively during Monday's loss, with 29 of his team-high 40 points occurring over the second and third quarters, though he scored just five points in the fourth as the Celtics' defense shifted their focus to the superstar guard. Booker has scored 37 or more points in five of 10 appearances in Boston, including his 70-point explosion during the 2017-18 season. He has tallied at least 30 points in five of his last six outings, and over that span he has averaged 33.8 points, 5.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 threes and 0.7 steals over 35.0 minutes per game.
After sitting out Sunday's loss to the Knicks for left knee injury management, Melton returned with force Monday, scoring 27 points in a winning effort. Impressively, the guard produced that scoring output without converting a three-pointer, an aberration from the 2.9 made threes he averaged in his first eight 20-plus point performances of the season. Melton has now eclipsed the 20-point mark in three of his past four appearances.
Brown attempted four or less free throws in two of three outings prior to Monday's contest, but he was much more aggressive offensively against Phoenix. He opened with 11 points in the first quarter and helped the Celtics close things out with 18 in the fourth, going 10-for-10 from the free-throw line in that final frame. Brown recorded career highs in free-throw makes and attempts and became the third Celtic in the last 20 years to have 20 attempts from the charity line in a game, per the Celtics' official broadcast. Even with Jayson Tatum back in the fold, Brown continues to be an important focal point in Boston's offense as the team looks to catch Detroit for the top seed in the Eastern Conference standings.
Porzingis led all scorers in a winning effort and did much of his damage from the charity stripe, as his 14 free-throw attempts marked a season high. In addition to racking up points, the big man tallied five stocks, his highest mark of the campaign. In what has been a challenging, injury-riddled season for the 30-year-old, Monday marked a bright spot as Porzingis recorded his second 30-point performance of the year.
Alexander-Walker torched the nets, posting a game-high and career-best 41 points to lift the Hawks to their 10th straight win. The 27-year-old was already off to a strong start in March, entering Monday's contest averaging 21.5 points while shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc in six games this month. He's now eclipsed the 30-point mark in eight contests this season, with his previous best being 38 points. In what has been an up-and-down year in Atlanta that includes the trading of star Trae Young (quadriceps), Alexander-Walker has enjoyed a breakout first season with the team.
Williams' night ended prematurely after taking a hit to the side of his head. The guard had a minimal impact in Monday's contest, though it's unclear when he sustained the hit, and it likely played a role in him logging just five minutes. Williams' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks.
