Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Double-doubles vs. Atlanta
Raynaud logged 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during the Kings' 123-113 loss to the Hawks on Saturday.
Raynaud scored seven of his 18 points in the first quarter and finished as the Kings' second-leading scorer behind DeMar DeRozan (22 points) while posting his 17th double-double of the season. It was the fourth time this season that Raynaud connected on at least two threes, with three of those games occurring within his last six outings. The rookie second-rounder has averaged 18.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks over 33.1 minutes per game since March 1. Raynaud is establishing himself as a long-term piece for the Kings, which might give the franchise something to think about when it comes to the future of Domantas Sabonis (knee).

Hawks' Jock Landale: Excels in spot start
Landale posted 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Atlanta's 123-113 win over Sacramento on Saturday.
With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, Landale was moved into Atlanta's starting lineup for the first time since his team debut Feb. 5. Landale took advantage of the opportunity, leading the Hawks in both rebounds and blocks while finishing as the team's fourth-leading scorer. The fifth-year pro has proven that he can put together productive stat lines when operating in an expanded role, though his ceiling would take a substantial hit if Okongwu is cleared to play against the Celtics on Monday.

Joel Embiid C | PHI
76ers' Joel Embiid: Pours in team-high 29 points
Embiid produced 29 points (8-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-13 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 victory over Charlotte.
Although the superstar big man's lack of availability has been frustrating in 2025-26, there's no denying his impact on the court when healthy. Embiid has averaged 31.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.9 minutes per tilt in his last 10 appearances, shooting 52.5 percent from the field.

Paul Reed C | DET
Pistons' Paul Reed: Productive despite limited role
Reed registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 victory over Minnesota.
Reed continues to play a secondary role despite the absence of Isaiah Stewart (calf), yet he was able to chip in across the board against what ended up being a favorable opponent. While he does have what might be considered elite per-minute upside, Reed simply isn't seeing enough of the court to be considered a must-add player. At this point, he can be streamed in when the schedule works in his favor, keeping in mind that Stewart is seemingly nearing a return.

Bucks' Jericho Sims: Double-double off bench in loss
Sims closed Saturday's 127-95 loss to San Antonio with 10 points (5-7 FG), 10 rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes off the bench.
It was the fourth double-double of the season for Sims and first since Feb. 25. The fifth-year center has been in and out of the starting five in March, starting five of his last 10 games and averaging 6.3 points, 5.5 boards and 1.5 assists in 21.5 minutes.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Big double-double in Saturday's win
Wembanyama logged 23 points (7-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 127-95 victory over the Bucks.
His performance got overshadowed by Stephon Castle's fourth triple-double of the season, but Wembanyama led the Spurs in scoring on the afternoon while delivering his 38th double-double. The third-year superstar has pulled down 15 boards in three straight games and at least 12 in six of his last eight contests, averaging 24.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.5 blocks, 1.8 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch.

Mark Williams C | PHO
Suns' Mark Williams: Progresses to 5-on-5
Williams (foot) participated in 5-on-5 drills at practice Saturday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
It's a huge step in Williams' recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, and it's safe to assume his return is on the horizon. The center has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, so his next chance to play will come Monday against Memphis.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Iffy for Sunday
Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Williams is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to lower-back soreness. If the backup big man is unable to play, Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko are candidates for increased playing time, while Yang Hansen could enter the rotation.

Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Ruled out for Sunday
Sarr (toe) won't play in Sunday's game against Portland.
Sarr will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left big toe injury management. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Lakers. With the second-year big man out, Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese are candidates to see expanded roles.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Hawks' Jock Landale: Starting Saturday
Landale is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Landale will draw his first start since Feb. 5, when he made his Hawks debut. In that outing, Landale delivered 26 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 32 minutes. With Dyson Daniels (toe), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, Landale should receive as many minutes as he can handle.
