Nique Clifford SAC SG
Kings' Nique Clifford: Posts decent line in blowout loss
2h agoClifford finished with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 loss to the Spurs.
Clifford logged the second-highest minute total in the squad during a lackluster performance from most of the team. Clifford and Maxime Raynaud were the primary offensive catalysts during the blowout, and both players seem poised to be part of a youthful core that will likely remain on the roster while the team executes a complete overhaul. The 2025 first-round pick didn't do enough to make waves in the ROY race, but the Colorado State product has earned 20 starts this season and will likely continue that trend as the season winds down.

Keldon Johnson SA SF
Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Scores 18 points in garbage time
2h agoJohnson amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 win over Sacramento.
With the Spurs up by 31 points at halftime, the team cleared the bench and gave the first unit a rest. Johnson took advantage of the opportunity and posted 18 points in 20 minutes on the floor. Johnson has been able to do a lot with a little throughout the season and has been especially productive as a rebounder in limited action. Although he only registered one board in the blowout win, Johnson found success as a pure shooter in the victory. During his second season as a full-time backup, Johnsin is averaging 12,8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 69 games.

Victor Wembanyama SA C
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Plays only 22 minutes in victory
2h agoWembanyama provided 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 victory over the Kings.
The Spurs were up by 31 points at halftime, and the team wasted no time sending its starters to the bench. Although the lack of playing time snapped Wembanyama's three-game double-double streak, he was still able to make 14 shot attempts, connecting on half of them.
-
De'Aaron Fox SA PG
Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Posts 15 points against former team
6h agoFox posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 victory over Sacramento.
Fox enjoyed an accurate night on his former home court. Fox's results were much better than Stephon Castle's line, a trend that has happened more frequently as the season wears on. Although Fox logged his second consecutive game with fewer than 20 points, his diverse efforts in secondary categories have helped out his bottom line.
-
Kyle Anderson MIN SF
Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Increased role in win
6h agoAnderson amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 victory over the Suns.
Anderson logged 25 minutes off the bench, the most he has played since rejoining the Timberwolves. With Naz Reid forced to the locker room due to an ankle injury, albeit temporarily, Anderson was afforded a few extra minutes. If Reid is to miss any amount of time moving forward, Anderson could be on the radar as a potential streaming candidate given his ability to chip in across multiple categories.
-
Jaden McDaniels MIN SF
Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Back on track Tuesday
6h agoMcDaniels amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over the Suns.
McDaniels delivered arguably his best performance of the month, coming off a string of bad games. Including this effort, McDaniels has been outside the top 250 in seven games over the past two weeks, averaging 8.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 three-pointers. However, with Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined for up to two weeks, McDaniels is going to need to be more aggressive, particularly on the offensive end. Look for him to continue to build momentum in what could be a favorable matchup against the Jazz on Wednesday.
-
Victor Wembanyama SA C
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Plays only 22 minutes in victory
2h agoWembanyama provided 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 victory over the Kings.
The Spurs were up by 31 points at halftime, and the team wasted no time sending its starters to the bench. Although the lack of playing time snapped Wembanyama's three-game double-double streak, he was still able to make 14 shot attempts, connecting on half of them.

Khaman Maluach PHO C
Suns' Khaman Maluach: Muted role continues
6h agoMaluach supplied two points (1-3 FG), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 loss to Minnesota.
Maluach logged fewer than 15 minutes for the fourth straight game despite having a clear path to playing time as the backup center. Even as the only other center on the roster not named Oso Ighodaro, Maluach has been a non-factor, averaging just 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in eight appearances over the past two weeks.
-
Oso Ighodaro PHO C
Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Season-best performance
6h agoIghodaro closed with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Ighodaro finally got things moving in the right direction, putting up easily his best performance since joining the starting unit. Despite the five-game week, Ighodaro's production had been highly disappointing prior to Tuesday, making him a tough hold in standard leagues. This effort should be enough to at least convince managers that the potential is there. While he might not be this good every night, the hope is that he can build off this performance, starting with Thursday's game against the Spurs.
-
Maxime Raynaud SAC C
Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Sets new career high in scoring
6h agoRaynaud finished with 32 points (13-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 loss to the Spurs.
As has been the case lately, Raynaud was one of the lone bright spots for Sacramento in a blowout loss. The rookie shot with efficiency on the offensive end and fell just one board shy of his fifth double-double of the month. Raynaud's 32-point night marks a new career high, which beats his previous best of 29 points set Dec. 18 against Portland.
-
Jay Huff IND C
Pacers' Jay Huff: Bench role continues
6h agoHuff closed with six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 loss to the Knicks.
Huff continues to come off the bench behind recently acquired Ivica Zubac, limiting his overall upside. In his past four games, all of which have been off the bench, Huff has averaged 10.3 points, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers. Given the current roster construction, Huff should be looked at as nothing more than a blocks streamer.
-
Paul Reed DET C
Pistons' Paul Reed: Underwhelming in win
7h agoReed produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 victory over the Wizards.
Despite Isaiah Stewart's continued absence due to a calf injury, Reed failed to make a significant impact. In two games without Stewart, Reed has logged 11 and 13 minutes, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. At this point, there are likely better streaming options available in most leagues.
-
Anthony Gill WAS PF
Wizards' Anthony Gill: Limited by foul trouble
7h agoGill closed with two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 16 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 130-117 loss to the Pistons.
Gill missed out on a great opportunity, picking up three fouls in the first seven minutes, basically putting an end to any chance he had of delivering meaningful production. With Alex Sarr sidelined due to injury maintenance, it was Gill who was inserted into the starting lineup. Assuming Sarr returns for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Gill will likely return to some sort of a bench role.
-
Julius Randle MIN PF
Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Paces scoring attack
8h agoRandle produced 32 points (10-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-13 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over Phoenix.
Randle racked up 32 points for a second straight game and provided plenty of scoring with Minnesota missing the services of Anthony Edwards (knee). Edwards has been ruled out for at least the next week, meaning the Timberwolves' offense should continue to run through Randle for the next three games or so.
-
Evan Mobley CLE PF
Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Double-doubles in win
8h agoMobley provided 27 points (12-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 123-116 win over the Bucks.
The star big man tied James Harden for the game high in points, with Mobley reaching the 20-point threshold for a second time in the last three games. The 24-year-old also grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, securing his second consecutive double-double and fourth on the month. Additionally, the 2024-25 Defensive Player of the Year posted a game-high three blocks, swatting multiple shots for the fifth time in the last six games.
-
Chet Holmgren OKC PF
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-doubles vs. Orlando
8h agoHolmgren finished Tuesday's 113-108 win over the Magic with 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 33 minutes.
Holmgren led the Thunder in rebounds Tuesday while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (40 points). It was Holmgren's 22nd double-double of the season, which is tied with Kel'el Ware for 17th in the NBA. Holmgren has averaged 19.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 blocks over 29.9 minutes per game since March 1.
-
Paolo Banchero ORL PF
Magic's Paolo Banchero: Double-double not enough vs. OKC
9h agoBanchero finished with 32 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3PT, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 36 minutes in Tuesday's 113-108 loss to Oklahoma City.
Banchero helped the Magic keep pace with the Thunder on Tuesday, particularly out of halftime with 15 points in the third quarter. He has recorded three double-doubles over his last four games and has logged 24 for the year, which is tied with Ivica Zubac for 14th in the Association. Banchero has averaged 25.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 threes over 35.6 minutes per game since March 1.
-
Moussa Diabate CHA PF
Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Doesn't return Tuesday
9h agoDiabate exited Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat in the fourth quarter and did not return due to an apparent left hand injury, finishing with eight points (4-6 FG), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 31 minutes.
Diabate bounced back following a four-point, five-rebound performance during Saturday's loss to San Antonio, though he seemingly picked up a hand injury late in the fourth quarter Tuesday. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's game against the Magic. If the big man is forced to miss time, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely see increased playing time, while Xavier Tillman could enter the rotation.

Keldon Johnson SA SF
Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Scores 18 points in garbage time
2h agoJohnson amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 win over Sacramento.
With the Spurs up by 31 points at halftime, the team cleared the bench and gave the first unit a rest. Johnson took advantage of the opportunity and posted 18 points in 20 minutes on the floor. Johnson has been able to do a lot with a little throughout the season and has been especially productive as a rebounder in limited action. Although he only registered one board in the blowout win, Johnson found success as a pure shooter in the victory. During his second season as a full-time backup, Johnsin is averaging 12,8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 69 games.

Kyle Anderson MIN SF
Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Increased role in win
6h agoAnderson amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 victory over the Suns.
Anderson logged 25 minutes off the bench, the most he has played since rejoining the Timberwolves. With Naz Reid forced to the locker room due to an ankle injury, albeit temporarily, Anderson was afforded a few extra minutes. If Reid is to miss any amount of time moving forward, Anderson could be on the radar as a potential streaming candidate given his ability to chip in across multiple categories.

Jaden McDaniels MIN SF
Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Back on track Tuesday
6h agoMcDaniels amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over the Suns.
McDaniels delivered arguably his best performance of the month, coming off a string of bad games. Including this effort, McDaniels has been outside the top 250 in seven games over the past two weeks, averaging 8.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 three-pointers. However, with Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined for up to two weeks, McDaniels is going to need to be more aggressive, particularly on the offensive end. Look for him to continue to build momentum in what could be a favorable matchup against the Jazz on Wednesday.
-
Jalen Slawson IND SF
Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Another five defensive stats
7h agoSlawson totaled eight points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 loss to the Knicks.
Slawson continues to deliver on the defensive end, having now recorded 12 combined steals and blocks in his past three games. While managers could look at him as a viable streaming option, his availability is likely to fluctuate based on who else is available on any given night for the Pacers. At this point, he is too risky to roster permanently but can be added as a streamer when available to play.
-
Noah Penda ORL SF
Magic's Noah Penda: Sees drop in minutes Tuesday
8h agoPenda attempted zero field goals while recording two rebounds, one assist and one steal over seven minutes during the Magic's 113-108 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.
Despite the small amount of playing time, Penda's minus-16 point differential was second worst on the Magic behind Jett Howard (minus-23), and the former sat on the bench for the entire second half. It wasn't a great sign for Penda, who entered Tuesday's game averaging 17.0 minutes per game since March 3. The rookie second-rounder should still see some playing time off the bench for as long as Jonathan Isaac (knee), Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (abdomen) are sidelined, but Penda's lack of playing time in the second half is worth monitoring.
-
Josh Hart NY SF
Knicks' Josh Hart: Enjoys big night vs. Pacers
9h agoHart produced 33 points (12-13 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 victory over Indiana.
Hart posted his first 30-point performance of the 2025-26 campaign, and he needed only 26 minutes to do so with the help of an incredible shooting performance. The 31-year-old oozed confidence on the offensive end, where he went a perfect 5-for-5 from deep and missed only one shot from the field. Hart provided more than enough firepower in the absence of Jalen Brunson, who was held out Tuesday due to right ankle injury management and a cervical strain.
-
Nique Clifford SAC SG
Kings' Nique Clifford: Posts decent line in blowout loss
2h agoClifford finished with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 loss to the Spurs.
Clifford logged the second-highest minute total in the squad during a lackluster performance from most of the team. Clifford and Maxime Raynaud were the primary offensive catalysts during the blowout, and both players seem poised to be part of a youthful core that will likely remain on the roster while the team executes a complete overhaul. The 2025 first-round pick didn't do enough to make waves in the ROY race, but the Colorado State product has earned 20 starts this season and will likely continue that trend as the season winds down.
-
Devin Booker PHO SG
Suns' Devin Booker: Scoring binge continues
6h agoBooker amassed 34 points (11-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Booker topped 30 points for the sixth time in his past seven games, although his peripheral contributions continue to be largely underwhelming. This is demonstrated by the fact that in four games over the past week, despite averaging 37.0 points per game, Booker has been barely a top 70 player in standard leagues. While the offense is great, managers are undoubtedly looking for more, particularly in the assists and threes columns.
-
Daeqwon Plowden SAC SG
Kings' Daeqwon Plowden: Exits early Tuesday
6h agoPlowden went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Spurs with an apparent lower body injury and didn't return, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. He ended with 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes.
Plowden was spotted walking down the tunnel with a limp with only a few minutes remaining in the final period of a game that had already been decided, so it's no real surprise that he didn't return. The team should have more information on his injury after completing an evaluation.
-
Landry Shamet NY SG
Knicks' Landry Shamet: Invisible in win
6h agoShamet amassed two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 victory over Indiana.
Shamet scored in single digits for the fourth time in his past five games while playing just 16 minutes, the fewest he has played in 27 games. While he can be utilized for streaming purposes, performances such as this remind us why there is little benefit to rostering him permanently.
-
Mikal Bridges NY SG
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Offensive woes continue
6h agoBridges had 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 win over the Pacers.
Bridges continues to work through one of the worst slumps of his career, barely scoring in double digits for just the second time in the past seven games. It's certainly been a rough two weeks, with Bridges averaging just 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in eight appearances. Managers in the midst of fantasy playoffs may need to consider alternative options given his recent struggles.
-
Jaden Hardy WAS SG
Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Chips in across the board
7h agoHardy chipped in 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 loss to the Pistons.
Hardy logged 32 minutes, the most he has played since joining Washington. He ended the night scoring in double digits for the 11th time in 15 appearances as a Wizard. It's almost impossible to get a read on what the rotation is going to look like from one night to the next. At this point, managers should look at Hardy as a potential streaming consideration when in need of points and threes.
-
De'Aaron Fox SA PG
Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Posts 15 points against former team
6h agoFox posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 victory over Sacramento.
Fox enjoyed an accurate night on his former home court. Fox's results were much better than Stephon Castle's line, a trend that has happened more frequently as the season wears on. Although Fox logged his second consecutive game with fewer than 20 points, his diverse efforts in secondary categories have helped out his bottom line.
-
Bones Hyland MIN PG
Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Pops for 22 points, five assists
6h agoHyland closed Tuesday's 116-104 victory over Phoenix with 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes.
Hyland saw at least 25 minutes for the first time in his past 16 games, delivering one of his best performances of the season. With Anthony Edwards set to miss at least a week with a knee injury, it appears as though Hyland is going to play a sizeable role for the foreseeable future. While he won't shoot 57 percent from the floor on most nights, he is certainly on the radar as a short-term addition.
-
Jose Alvarado NY PG
Knicks' Jose Alvarado: Thrives in spot start
6h agoAlvarado posted 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 win over the Pacers.
Alvarado moved into the starting lineup for the first time since joining the Knicks, replacing Jalen Brunson, who was given the night off to manage some nagging injuries. Alvarado made the most of his opportunity, recording his first double-double of the season. While this was a great performance, managers need only look at his previous 14 games to understand why this effort is not worth chasing.
-
T.J. McConnell IND PG
Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Double-doubles in loss
6h agoMcConnell registered 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and 10 assists across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 loss to the Knicks.
McConnell handed out at least 10 assists for the second straight game, providing managers with a nice bump in that category. Indiana is running with McConnell as the starting point guard after seemingly doing anything but start him for the majority of the season. While this current thought process could end at any point, McConnell makes sense as a streaming option for as long as he's given decent minutes.
-
Carlton Carrington WAS PG
Wizards' Bub Carrington: Drops season-high 30 points
7h agoCarrington logged 30 points (12-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 loss to Detroit.
Carrington exploded for a season-high 30 points, matching his combined total from the four previous games. As usual, Washington continues to shuffle its rotation on a nightly basis, meaning fantasy production cannot be relied upon. With that said, Trae Young is now dealing with a quad injury, which could provide Carrington with an opportunity to play consistent minutes. While he won't be this good very often, he is worth taking a flier on, particularly with three potential games remaining this week.
-
Daniss Jenkins DET PG
Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Increased role Tuesday
8h agoJenkins contributed 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.
Jenkins started the second half after Cade Cunningham was ruled out of the remainder of Tuesday's game due to back spasms. Although Jenkins was able to make the most of his opportunity, fantasy managers will want to be cautious before picking him up. Considering this game was against the Wizards, there is a decent chance Detroit simply took additional precautions regarding Cunningham. However, if this does turn into an absence of any kind, Jenkins could be worth a flier, even in standard leagues.
