Duren supplied 21 points (8-9 FG, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over the Bucks.

This was just another day in the office for Duren in what has been a standout campaign. With 69 appearances to his name, Duren holds averages of 19.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 blocks in 28.3 minutes per contest.

Jackson-Davis (illness) is out for Thursday's game against Miami.

Jackson-Davis is an emergency depth piece for the Raptors, so his absence will not have a big fantasy impact. He's appeared in eight of Toronto's past 10 games, playing double-digit minutes only once.

Clingan produced 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Spurs.

Clingan racked up his 35th double-double of the campaign in Wednesday's loss. With 75 games under his belt, he leads Portland in nine-category fantasy value with averages of 12.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per contest.

Maluach provided four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 win over Dallas.

Making his first NBA start, the rookie center didn't make much of an impression on offense, but the 19-year-old set a new career high in boards while swatting multiple shots for the fifth time in his last seven games. Maluach's minutes of late have largely depended on the availability of Mark Williams (foot), and with the Suns having locked up the seventh seed in the Western Conference and the top spot in the Play-In Tournament, the team may elect to shut Williams down for the final two games of the regular season and give Maluach a longer look.

Bagley contributed 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Suns.

Making his first start since March 13, Bagley scored at least 20 points for the second straight game and the third time in his last four. With Daniel Gafford (shoulder) banged up, Bagley could keep his spot in the starting five over the final weekend of the regular season, and in 11 starts this season, he's averaged 13.3 points, 7.8 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.0 minutes while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor.

Bitadze registered 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 win over the Timberwolves.

Bitadze took advantage of the fact that the Timberwolves were without Julius Randle (hand) and Rudy Gobert (rest) to dominate the paint, and he delivered a strong double-double coming off the bench. Wendell Carter will remain the starter for the Magic, but Bitadze has proven he can deliver solid numbers when needed. He's averaging 10.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in the 10 outings in which he's logged at least 20 minutes this season.

Reid logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Magic.

Reid moved to the starting lineup due to the absences of Julius Randle (hand) and Rudy Gobert (rest). As expected, Reid was one of Minnesota's most reliable offensive weapons in a game where the starters were either rested altogether or limited to fewer minutes. Reid has been playing well lately, averaging 12.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game over his last nine outings.

Jokic notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 136-119 win over Memphis.

Jokic wasn't very aggressive hunting his shot Wednesday but was one of eight Denver players to score in double figures during a favorable matchup against the banged-up Grizzlies. The superstar led all players in rebounds and assists en route to his seventh triple-double over the last nine games, and he has recorded at least a double-double in all nine of those appearances. Furthermore, Jokic tied the game high in steals Wednesday and has tallied at least two combined steals-plus-blocks in three straight outings.

Sims supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 137-111 loss to the Pistons.

Although the Bucks dropped their second straight game and fourth over the last five, Sims was a bright spot in the blowout loss. The big man dished out a career-high 10 assists en route to the first triple-double of his career, adding a game-best 11 boards while tying Cade Cunningham for the game high in assists. Sims also turned in another efficient performance from the field and has shot 68.2 percent from the floor over his last three appearances.

Powell won't start Wednesday's game against the Suns, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Powell got the starting nod during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers in place of the injured Daniel Gafford (shoulder), though it'll be Marvin Bagley who enters the first unit Wednesday. Powell has averaged 3.0 points and 4.5 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per tilt over his last four appearances off the bench.
