Collins chipped in two points (1-1 FG) and one assist over five minutes during Wednesday's 109-90 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.

Although he didn't see much run in this game, Collins saw his role increase in 2024-25 following his trade from the Spurs. He appeared in 28 games for Chicago, averaging 8.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 19.7 minutes per game.

Sabonis closed with 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to Dallas.

While Sabonis had another strong performance on the glass, he failed to make much of an offensive impact as the Kings' season came to an end. The 28-year-old center could be firmly on the trade block this summer after averaging 19.1 points, 13.9 boards, 6.0 assists, 0.9 threes and 0.7 steals over 70 regular-season appearances as Sacramento looks to overhaul a disappointing roster. Still, the three years and $136.4 million left on Sabonis' current contract will limit his suitors.

Davis amassed 27 points (9-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game victory over the Kings.

The 32-year-old led the Mavericks in scoring as they pushed one win closer to the playoffs. Davis has been productive when he's been on the court in April, averaging 24.8 points, 11.4 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.2 blocks and 1.4 threes in five appearances, and he'll likely need to come up big again Friday in Memphis if Dallas is going to claim the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

Adebayo finished with 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 109-90 win over Chicago in the Play-In Tournament.

Adebayo once again led the way in the paint for Miami in the Play-In Tournament, leading all Heat players in rebounds to go along with a team-high-tying steals mark in a double-double performance. Adebayo was a double-double machine during the regular season, reaching that mark in 36 outings.

Vucevic contributed 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 109-90 loss to Miami in the Play-In Tournament.

Vucevic was strong in the paint for Chicago in the Play-In Tournament battle against the Heat, leading all Bulls in rebounds and blocks while finishing as one of two players with a double-double performance in Chicago's final game of the season. Vucevic was a double-double machine this year, accomplishing the feat in 45 outings during the regular season and carrying that into the postseason Wednesday.

Gafford isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Gafford drew a spot start during the Mavericks' final regular-season game due to the absence of Dereck Lively. With Lively healthy, Gafford will return to the second unit. In his last six games, Gafford is averaging 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 18.7 minutes.

Davis (adductor) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Kings, Austin Veazey of SI.com reports.

Davis was previously listed as probable on the injury report due to a left adductor strain but will suit up for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game. Prior to sitting out the Mavericks' final regular season game, the star big man averaged 21.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.7 blocks in 30.0 minutes over his past three outings.

Carter provided 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game victory over the Hawks.

This was Carter's highest-scoring performance since Feb. 6. Games like this have been few and far between. For the regular season, Carter finished outside the top-150 in nine-category formats with averages of 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per game.

During his exit interview Monday, Williams said he's feeling good and healthy entering the offseason, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Williams missed Sunday's regular-season finale to manage a left foot injury, though it was likely a precaution. His back was a much larger issue this season, though he told reporters that he noticed a positive difference in January when the Hornets eased his restrictions. He ended the regular season with 44 appearances, posting averages of 15.3 points on 60.4 percent shooting, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game.

Edey closed Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors with 14 points (4-11 FG, 6-8 FT), 17 rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes.

The rookie center once again dominated the glass. Edey has pulled down at least 16 boards in five of seven appearances since the beginning of April, but Tuesday's game was the first during that stretch in which he didn't record at least one block. Edey will likely need to continue coming up big in the paint Friday as the Grizzlies get one more chance to secure a playoff spot.
