Allen finished with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 117-114 win over the 76ers.

Allen recorded a double-double for the fourth time across his last six appearances, and the big man continues to leave his mark as a reliable two-way presence for Cleveland. Allen has also enjoyed a sizable uptick in his consistency as a scoring threat, putting up double-digit points in all but two of his appearances since the beginning of March.

Bamba recorded 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes during Friday's 117-114 loss to Cleveland.

Bamba was coming off his first double-double of the season in the loss to the Clippers on Wednesday, and while he couldn't repeat that outcome, he delivered another solid showing. The veteran big man is making the most of the opportunity, averaging 6.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game across his last 12 starts. Bamba will remain a decent streaming option for the time being, but he'll head back to the bench once Joel Embiid (knee) is ready to return.

Wagner finished with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes during Friday's 100-97 loss to the Clippers.

Wagner made his presence felt Friday despite logging only 18 minutes, as she showed an efficient touch on offense while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Wagner has been one of the most productive players on a per-minute basis of late. He's averaging 8.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.4 steals despite logging just 14.8 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

Zubac closed with 14 points (7-10 FG), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes during Friday's 100-97 win over the Magic.

Zubac finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, and even though his two-way ability is well known, he's achieved that feat just once during the current month. Zubac is averaging 9.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game in March.

Sabonis chipped in 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 107-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Sabonis logged his third-triple-double over his past six games and holds a firm lead over Nikola Jokic in the category. He also completed his 26th consecutive double-double in the loss. Despite Sabonis' stellar play, the Kings are sinking further in the West and are now stuck in the Play-In bracket after two losses to the Mavericks. As a result, there will be little opportunity to rest the elite center anytime soon.

Bryant closed with 26 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's 142-82 victory over the Trail Blazers.

It's the first double-double of the season for Bryant, who also led the Heat in scoring during the biggest win in franchise history. The 22 minutes tied his season high, but the 26-year-old center has seen a larger role of late. With Nikola Jovic picking up a knee bruise Friday, there could be more minutes available for Bryant in the frontcourt in the short term.

Adebayo ended with 21 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 142-82 win over Portland.

The 26-year-old center very nearly recorded his third triple-double of the season and the eighth of his career. Adebayo is having a big month of March on the glass -- he hasn't pulled down fewer than nine boards in any of his last 11 games, and he's averaged 16.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 threes over that stretch.

Davis ended Friday's 109-90 loss to Indiana with 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes.

The veteran big led the Lakers in scoring while delivering his 58th double-double of the season, third in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis (69) and Nikola Jokic (60). Davis missed Wednesday's game with a minor knee issue, but he didn't appear hampered by it in his return -- he's reeled off five straight double-doubles and 11 through 12 contests in March, and he's averaged 22.8 points, 14.5 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals on the month.

Wembanyama amassed 40 points (13-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 20 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 130-126 overtime win over the Knicks.

Jalen Brunson put up a career-high 61 points for the Knicks in the contest, but he had to share the spotlight with Wembanyama, who was just as impressive in the first 40-point game of his blossoming career. The talented big man added 20 boards to become the first NBA rookie since Shaquille O'Neal in 1993 to record a 40/20 line. Wembanyama's massive effort marked his 39th double-double of the season, 10th-most in the league.

Sharpe supplied two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds across six minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over the Bulls.

Sharpe played just six minutes off the bench, the fewest he has played when healthy since the second game of the regular season. Despite having a fantasy-friendly game, Sharpe simply doesn't see enough playing time to warrant serious attention. He is someone to watch heading into next season, should the Nets opt to play him more often.
