Williams finished Tuesday's 130-111 loss to the Wizards with four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 15 minutes.

Williams has come off the bench in all four of his appearances since returning from an eight-game absence, and he wasn't able to generate much production Tuesday while failing to record a field-goal attempt for the first time this season. Since returning, he's averaged 5.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.

Huff recorded 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 20 rebounds, six assists, two steals and five blocks across 35 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Mad Ants.

Huff carried the Go-Go to victory in this one by virtue of his contributions on both ends of the court, and he became the fifth player in the history of the league to record at least 20 rebounds in a playoff game. The big man has been a massive success since joining Capital City and should play a significant role during Thursday's playoff matchup versus Delaware.

Richards logged 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 FT) and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 win over Oklahoma City.

After taking the night off Sunday, Richards was back in the starting lineup Tuesday, as Mark Williams (rest) was unavailable, and posted his fifth double-double over his past nine appearances. During that stretch, the third-year center has averaged 10.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 26.2 minutes per game.

Muscala delivered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over nine minutes during Tuesday's 130-111 loss at Washington.

Over Boston's last 10 games, Muscala has four DNP-Coach's Decisions and scored zero points in four appearances. Tuesday's appearance was mostly in garbage time, with the Wizards' victory well in hand. The trade deadline acquisition has struggled to find a consistent role for the Celtics after some early success in mid-February. Expect Muscala's minutes to be minimal through the end of the regular season.

Kornet posted eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across nine minutes in Tuesday's 130-111 loss in Washington.

Most of Kornet's minutes came during the fourth quarter when the victory for the Wizards was well in hand. That said, Kornet made the most of his opportunity. Tuesday marked the 13th time The Green Kornet has scored eight or more points this season. His depth chart status versus Mike Muscala is still murky. Continue to expect small minutes for Kornet for the rest of the season.

Capela posted 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 120-118 win over Cleveland.

It was the third straight double-double for Capela and his 33rd of the season, putting him just outside the top 10 in the league for that category. The 28-year-old center has been able to stay healthy lately, and it shows, as he's averaging 12.4 points, 11.1 boards, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 assists over 14 games in March while shooting 74.3 percent from the floor.

Tillman ended Tuesday's 113-108 win over the Magic with 20 points (10-12 FG), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes.

Tillman has had limited production on the scoreboard in recent weeks, but he reached the 20-point threshold for the first time this season Tuesday while also coming within one rebound of a double-double. Over 15 appearances this month, he's averaged 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game.

Thor registered 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 win over the Thunder.

With numerous regulars sidelined, Thor saw an increased role and notched season highs in made field goals, points, assists and minutes played. Over his last seven appearances, Thor has averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 21.4 minutes off the bench, but his fantasy value will be significantly diminished when Gordon Hayward (thumb) or Kelly Oubre (shoulder) is cleared to suit up again.

Jones racked up 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 win over the Thunder.

With Mark Williams (rest) out, Jones operated as the backup to Nick Richards, but Jones played just four fewer minutes than Richards and provided similar production. Jones' 12 points and 14 rebounds were both season highs, but the second-year big man also committed three turnovers, something that's been an issue for Jones early in his career.

Washington finished with 43 points (16-24 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 victory over the Thunder.

With the Hornets down numerous regulars, Washington stepped up and was lights out en route to a career-high 43 points. The fourth-year forward also dished out his most assists since Dec. 7, when he posted a season-high seven dimes. Over his last 10 appearances, Washington has averaged 19.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks, and he figures to remain the Hornets' go-to playmaker as long as Gordon Hayward (thumb), Kelly Oubre (shoulder), Terry Rozier (foot) and Dennis Smith (toe) are sidelined.

Mobley produced 20 points (10-13 FG, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, four blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 120-118 loss to the Hawks.

The second-year big man has only five double-doubles in the last 12 games, but three of them have have involved at least 20 points and 15 boards. Mobley's been a terror on the defensive end during that stretch though -- he has 11 blocks in the last three contests and has recorded multiple rejections eight times in that 12-game stretch, averaging 18.9 points, 9.6 boards, 3.8 assists and 2.3 blocks while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor.

Tatum produced a team-high 28 points (11-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-111 loss to the Wizards.

It was a disappointing performance by the Celtics as a whole, particularly on the defensive end, but Tatum still delivered his usual strong numbers. Through 12 games in March, the 25-year-old is averaging 29.8 points, 9.7 boards, 4.7 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.0 steals as Boston tries to catch Milwaukee for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Butler (neck) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Butler took a seat for the first half of Miami's back-to-back set Tuesday, but he's expected to return to action Wednesday. Before his absence, Butler had appeared in 26 straight games and averaged 24.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.6 minutes during that stretch.

Hunter notched seven points (3-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 120-118 victory over the Cavaliers.

Hunter failed to score in double figures for the first time since Feb. 26 and notched his lowest-scoring game since Feb. 3. The length of Cleveland's defense appears to have given Hunter trouble, but it's safe to call Tuesday's outing an outlier, as the fourth-year forward has averaged 15.2 points on 47.1 percent shooting over his past 13 appearances.

Fontecchio (toe) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Fontecchio has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up after taking a seat during Monday's loss to Phoenix. With Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Rudy Gay (back) out, Fontecchio figures to draw another start at small forward. Over his previous four starts, the undrafted rookie from Italy has averaged 12.3 points in 29.0 minutes.

Markkanen (hand) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Markkanen will be sidelined for the third time over Utah's past four games due to a hand injury. With Rudy Gay (back) also out, Simone Fontecchio (toe) and Juan Toscano-Anderson are candidates for increased roles versus San Antonio. Markkanen's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Boston.

Mykhailiuk amassed 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 win over Oklahoma City.

Mykhailiuk has drawn three straight starts with the Hornets banged up, but his outing Tuesday was by far his best of the campaign. The Kansas product notched season highs in points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks while the Hornets' makeshift lineup secured a three-point win over Oklahoma City, who was without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle). When Gordon Hayward (thumb), Kelly Oubre (shoulder), Terry Rozier (foot) and Dennis Smith (toe) are off the injury report, Mykhailiuk's fantasy value will take a major hit, but he's certainly proven he's capable of viable production when given a starting-level role, and the Hornets are well out of playoff contention, so more starter rests may be forthcoming down the stretch.

Williams had 31 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 loss to Charlotte.

Williams was one of three Thunder players to score at least 30 points with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined. The rookie's 31 points were one shy of his career high and marked his second game of the season with at least 30. The versatile wing also showcased his defensive prowess by grabbing a game-high four steals, giving him eight multi-steal games over 13 March appearances. During that stretch, Williams has averaged 19.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.2 minutes with 56/48/86 shooting splits.

Suggs closed with two points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 113-108 loss to Memphis.

Suggs popped for 16 points (6-9 FG) during his return to action Sunday following a four-game due to a concussion, but he fell flat Tuesday and posted his worst shooting performance of the campaign. The second-year guard's true value probably lies somewhere between his past two performances, but he has been prone to inconsistent play to start his career.

Jackson delivered 22 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over the Mad Ants.

Jackson led the Go-Go in scoring despite coming off the bench, and he continues to play a pivotal role on offense even when he's not starting. Jackson should see plenty of minutes off the bench when Capital City takes on Delaware on Thursday.

Bernard finished with 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Mad Ants.

Bernard was one of two Capital City players that scored in double digits in this game, but he also made his presence felt on the glass en route to a double-double. He should be one of the team's go-to players in the upcoming playoff contest against Delaware on Thursday.

McGowens closed Tuesday's 137-134 win over Oklahoma City with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

McGowens drew his second start of the season with Gordon Hayward (thumb), Kelly Oubre (shoulder), Terry Rozier (foot) and Dennis Smith (toe) all ruled out. The rookie second-round pick's 11 points were one shy of his career high, and he also tied his season high with two steals. When any of the aforementioned injured players return, McGowens' playing time will presumably take a major hit, but until then, the Nebraska product should be on fantasy radars.

Joe had 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 loss to the Hornets.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined, Joe drew the start at shooting guard and exploded for a career-high 33 points. Across nine starts this season, Joe has averaged 16.3 points with 47/43/77 shooting splits. His lack of production in categories outside of scoring has limited his overall value, but the third-year wing's excellent three-point shooting has been good enough to place him on every fantasy manager's radar. However, his production as a reserve has been too sporadic to trust on a regular basis, so when Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared to return, Joe's fantasy value will take a major hit.

Mitchell racked up 44 points (15-33 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 120-118 loss to the Hawks.

It's the fourth time in 12 games this month Mitchell has poured in 40 or more, and the 10th time this season. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 29.7 points, 5.1 boards, 3.2 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.2 steals in March as the Cavs try to lock up home court in at least the first round of the playoffs.

Vincent is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to back spasms.

Vincent hasn't missed a game since Dec. 23, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Wednesday due to his back issue. The 26-year-old hasn't been particularly effective recently, averaging 7.0 points in 22.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances. However, Victor Oladipo and Tyler Herro should see increased run if Vincent is unavailable, particularly since Kyle Lowry (knee) has already been ruled out.

Lowry (rest) won't play Wednesday against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

As expected, Lowry will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set after playing 24 minutes Tuesday. Gabe Vincent (back) is questionable, so if both of Miami's top point guards are sidelined, Victor Oladipo could see an increased workload, though the red-hot Tyler Herro figures to continue garnering as much usage as he can handle. Lowry's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Mavericks.

Herro logged 33 points (13-21 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 106-92 loss to the Raptors.

Although Miami was unable to pick up the win Tuesday, Herro matched his fifth-highest scoring total of the season while also topping 20 points for a third consecutive game. The 23-year-old will attempt to remain productive in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday against the Knicks, especially if Jimmy Butler (neck) is sidelined for a second consecutive game.

Mann racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 loss to the Hornets.

Mann saw 18 minutes off the bench with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined and posted at least five points, two rebounds and two assists for a second straight game. Mann also notched his first multi-steal game since Jan. 3, when he recorded a season-high three swipes in a win over Boston.

Ntilikina (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Ntilikina was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup but will be forced to miss at least one game due to a right knee sprain. Jaden Hardy and Justin Holiday are candidates to see increased run Wednesday, while Ntilikina will have a few days to rest before the Mavericks face the Heat on Saturday.

Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said Tuesday that Simmons (back, knee) is out for the season but isn't expected to require any surgeries this summer, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports. "Ben will not be joining us the rest of the year and through the playoffs," Vaughn said after Tuesday's practice. "After consulting with our doctors, multiple specialists, he's just going to begin a rehab program. Our doctors and the specialists feel and think that he'll have a full recovery so that starts now."

Simmons last played for the Nets in their final game before the All-Star break Feb. 15, with his absence initially being attributed to a sore left knee for which he required a platelet-rich plasma injection. The Nets then announced over the past weekend that Simmons is dealing with a nerve impingement in his back, though the team hasn't revealed whether the issue is related to the disc herniation that he addressed with a surgery last May. Whatever the case, Simmons appears set to avoid another surgery for now, and though the early expectation is that he'll be at full health for training camp in the fall, how he fits in Brooklyn's plans heading into 2023-24 is difficult to pin down. Before being shut down, Simmons was in the midst of the worst season of his career, as he shot just 43.9 percent from the free-throw line and averaged 6.9 points to go with 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes over 42 appearances (33 starts). With Mikal Bridges having since emerged as the face of the franchise following the Nets' roster overhaul at the trade deadline, Simmons -- who is under contract through 2024-25 and is owed roughly $78 million -- may be relegated to a supporting role once healthy.
