Jokic produced 41 points (18-33 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 loss to the Pacers.

Jokic was dominant on both ends of the court, and it wasn't surprising to see the star big man end with another triple-double in the absence of Jamal Murray (hamstring). Jokic has recorded three triple-doubles in five games since returning from a five-game absence in mid-March due to a left ankle impingement, a span in which he also posted a career-high 61 points in a loss to Minnesota on April 1.

Turner contributed 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 31 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 win over the Nuggets.

Turner had a bigger role on offense Sunday, as Tyrese Haliburton was limited to nine points and Pascal Siakam (elbow) wasn't available, and that translated to Turner leading the Pacers in scoring. He's scored 20-plus points while swatting multiple shots in his last two outings, averaging 16.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game in 18 outings since the beginning of March.

Kornet posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 victory over Washington.

Jayson Tatum did not play Sunday against Washington due to a sprained left ankle, allowing Kornet to start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. The Celtics have the second seed in the Eastern Conference locked up heading into the final week of the regular season, and Kornet could see ample playing time if the Celtics rest their key players.

Adebayo is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers with back spasms, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Adebayo was a late addition to the injury, which doesn't bode well for his status. He played 43 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 overtime loss to the Bucks, finishing with 31 points (11-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals. If he's unable to play Monday, Kyle Anderson and Pelle Larsson could be more involved for Miami.

Biyombo provided 10 points (5-10 FG), four rebounds and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Biyombo continues to draw starts for the Spurs, but he's often more a nominal member of the first unit considering his playing time is typically modest. Over his past 15 games, Biyombo is averaging just 5.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 20.1 minutes per game.

Sengun logged 19 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and a steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-96 win over the Warriors.

The big man now has 45 double-doubles on the season, with Sunday night's marking his fifth in his last 10 games. Although his efficiency left something to be desired, Sengun's ability to grab boards (seven of which came on the offensive glass) more than made up for the missed shots. He's now averaging 20.0 points and 10.1 rebounds per game since the All-Star break.

Okongwu totaled 27 points (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 victory over Utah.

Okongwu posted a team-high 27 points Sunday, marking his 10th outing with at least 20 points in 71 regular-season appearances. The big man also produced a game-high 12 rebounds en route to his 26th double-double on the season. Okongwu has provided three double-doubles over his last five games, during which he has averaged 15.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.8 blocks across 33.4 minutes per contest.

Sabonis finished Sunday's 120-113 victory over the Cavaliers with 27 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 39 minutes.

Although he turned the ball over a game-high seven times, Sabonis co-led the team in dimes and paced the club in boards while scoring an efficient 27 points against Cleveland's towering frontcourt. Sabonis is riding a six-game double-double streak, during which the All-Star big man has averaged 21.7 points on 58.4 percent shooting from the floor, 14.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes.

Adams will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Warriors.

After starting in Friday's win against the Thunder, Adams will return to a reserve role for Houston on Sunday against Golden State. In 51 games off the bench this season, the veteran big man has averaged 3.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, shooting 54.3 percent from the field.

Williams chipped in 22 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 131-117 loss to Chicago.

Williams returned Sunday after missing Friday's contest with a back injury, leading all Charlotte players in scoring and rebounds while finishing one board short of a double-double. Williams has surpassed the 20-point mark in 10 contests this season, pairing nine or more rebounds in all 10 outings. He secured his first game with 20 or more points since last doing so March 10.
