  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Plays 22 minutes Sunday

    Allen contributed nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-84 loss to the Heat.

    Allen only logged 22 minutes due to the nature of the blowout loss. To say that the Cavaliers have been struggling badly on offense without Donovan Mitchell (nose) would be an understatement at this point, but Sunday's performance was a new low for them, as they failed to reach the 90-point plateau for the first time in the entire campaign. Look for Allen to handle his regular workload when the Cavs take on the Hornets on Monday.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Active at both ends Sunday

    Zubac chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 loss to Philadelphia.

    Zubac recorded his first double-double since Feb. 23, but the big man had been close to achieving that feat in his previous appearances. A solid two-way contributor who can produce value despite holding a lesser role in the Clippers' offensive scheme, Zubac is averaging 9.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest since the beginning of March.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Not present for shootaround

    Wembanyama (ankle), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns, wasn't at the portion of the Spurs' morning shootaround open to the media, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Wembanyama is dealing with a left ankle sprain following Saturday's blowout loss to Phoenix, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Monday's rematch. Zach Collins and Dominick Barlow could see increased playing time if Wembanyama sits out.

  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Explodes for 36/16 double-double

    Davis amassed 36 points (15-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 victory over the Pacers.

    The Lakers' 150 points marked their highest total since 1987. Davis was critical in the final minutes as the Pacers mounted an inspired comeback. Although saddled with an Achilles injury, Davis played 40 minutes and notched his third consecutive double-double.

  • Kai Jones C | DAL

    Kai Jones: Hits open market

    Jones (hamstring) became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the 76ers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    The 76ers have the option of retaining Jones on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the organization has any desire to do so while he's still recovering from a right hamstring strain. The injury prevented him from playing with the 76ers at any point during his initial 10-day deal, but he likely wouldn't have been featured in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation even if he had been healthy.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Pulls down double-double Sunday

    Gobert racked up 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Warriors.

    It's the veteran center's 45th double-double of the season. Gobert has missed four of the last seven games with a rib injury, but he's still pulled down double-digit rebounds in all eight March contests he's been able to suit up for. He's averaged 14.0 points, 14.5 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals on the month while shooting 66.2 percent from the floor.

  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Double-double against Golden State

    Reid had 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Warriors.

    The 12 boards tied his season high as Reid recorded his fourth double-double of the campaign. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined, Reid has started five of his last six games and averaged 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent (20-for-44) from beyond the arc.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Brutal shooting night Sunday

    Holmgren had six points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds over 25 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 loss to the Bucks.

    The 21-year-old center couldn't get anything going against Brook Lopez and the Milwaukee frontcourt, leading to Holmgren's worst scoring performance since he managed only four points against the Timberwolves on Jan. 29. He's been showing signs of fatigue toward the end of his first NBA season, scoring in single digits three times in the last eight games, and over that stretch, Holmgren has averaged 15.4 points, 8.6 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.4 threes.

  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Officially cleared to play

    Davis (Achilles) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Davis was probable for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him cleared to suit up once again. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 20.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.0 blocks in 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Unlikely to suit up vs. Denver

    Clarke (Achilles) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

    Clarke continues to deal with an Achilles injury and will likely be unavailable again Monday, but it's encouraging that he's doubtful for the team's tilt against the Nuggets rather than being immediately ruled out. However, it's unclear whether the Grizzlies will bring him back before the end of the regular season.
