Capela posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-5 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Capela was active on both ends of the court en route to his third consecutive double-double, and he's now achieved that feat in four of his six appearances this month. Capela might be experiencing a decrease in both numbers and usage rate, but he's still on pace to average a double-double for the seventh straight season, which speaks volumes of his consistency.

Allen accumulated 17 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-95 victory over the Pelicans.

The double-double was the 33rd of the season for Allen, a new career high, and his fifth in the last six games. The 25-year-old center is averaging 19.8 points, 13.0 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, but with Donovan Mitchell now back in the lineup, Allen likely won't need to carry as much of the scoring load for the Cavs.

Jackson-Davis chipped in 10 points (5-9 FG), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 loss to the Mavericks.

Jackson-Davis finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, and he continues to impact both ends of the court as a starter. All signs point to him keeping that role for the foreseeable future, as the Warriors are not expected to tweak their lineup until Stephen Curry (ankle) is ready to return.

Lively notched 12 points (6-8 FG), eight rebounds and two blocks across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Warriors.

Lively missed just two shots from the field and came just two rebounds shy of recording a double-double despite logging just 20 minutes off the bench. Lively lost his starting role at the hands of Daniel Gafford, who's riding an unprecedented efficient stretch, but Lively should continue to see decent minutes off the bench. The move to a bench role certainly limits his fantasy upside going forward, though.

Gafford posted 10 points (5-5 FG), six rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over Golden State.

Gafford was efficient on both ends of the court, making each of his five field goal attempts, crashing the glass and helping defensively. Undoubtedly, the blocks tally stands out, and he ended just one shy of tying his career-high mark in that department. The efficiency also merits a mention, as he's now gone five straight games without missing a single field goal. He'll have a tough time extending that streak Thursday against Chet Holmgren and the Thunder.

Sabonis closed Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers with 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

Sabonis fueled a 44 to 38 team rebounding advantage for Sacramento on Wednesday while facilitating with only two turnovers as the Kings notched back-to-back quality wins. He continues to profile as one of the top do-it-all players in the league.

Turner finished with 27 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 132-129 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Turner led the Pacers in scoring for the second game in a row, and his five three-point makes were his most since Jan. 19 when he went 6-for-10 from beyond the arc. Turner has shot 50 percent or better in four of his last five games and has scored 20-plus points in three of his last five appearances.

Adebayo finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 100-88 loss to Denver.

Adebayo registered his second straight double-double and his 33rd of the year Wednesday in a rematch of the 2022-23 NBA Finals. He's averaging a career-high 10.4 rebounds per game this season, which ranks 10th in the Association. Adebayo is averaging 15.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals over 34.5 minutes per game in March.

Jokic provided 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 100-88 victory over the Heat.

It was just the sixth time this season Jokic has attempted less than 10 field goals in a game, though he managed to lead his team in assists Wednesday. It was the 54th double-double of the season for the two-time MVP, and he sits second in the NBA in that category behind Domantas Sabonis. Jokic is averaging 27.5 points on 60.0 percent shooting (including 40.0 percent from three on 2.5 3PA/G), 12.5 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.7 steals over 38.3 minutes per game in March.

Duren ended Wednesday's 113-104 win over the Raptors with 24 points (8-9 FG, 8-10 FT), 23 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes.

It was the second time this season Duren has registered at least 20 points, 20 rebounds and five assists in a game, and he joined Nikola Jokic and Domantas Sabonis as the only players to reach that line more than once this season. Duren is now up to 36 double-doubles on the year, and the second-year center ranks fifth in the NBA with 11.9 rebounds per game. He has established himself as a key piece in Detroit's future alongside 2021 No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham.
