Adebayo totaled 31 points (11-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 overtime loss to the Bucks.

Adebayo got off to a sizzling start in the first half, and while he cooled off in the final two quarters and overtime, he was still Miami's best player by a wide margin in this loss. The star big man is ending the regular season in style. He has scored at least 20 points in his last four outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 26.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting an impressive -- and probably unsustainable -- 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Lopez amassed 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 overtime victory over Miami.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter led the way for the Bucks in this overtime win, but Lopez made his presence felt as well. However, it's worth noting he had a difficult matchup against Bam Adebayo. Lopez continues to find ways to make an impact on offense, even when he's not at his best. This was his third straight game with 17 or more points.

Gobert recorded 23 points (10-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 victory over the 76ers.

Gobert was highly efficient in this contest and is ending the season on a sizzling note. The star center has recorded seven straight double-doubles, averaging 18.6 points and 16.3 rebounds per game in that stretch, arguably his most productive of the season by a wide margin. If the Timberwolves want to make a deep run in the playoffs, they need this version of Gobert anchoring the frontcourt.

Williams (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Williams has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up after missing Friday's 125-102 loss to the Kings. The big man has appeared in only 11 of Charlotte's last 16 games, but he's been productive when available, averaging 15.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Jones supplied 18 points (9-9 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 20 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 135-104 loss to the Clippers.

With Daniel Gafford (knee) sitting out in the second leg of a back-to-back set and with head coach Jason Kidd pulling most of his key rotation players out of the game by the midway point of the fourth quarter in the blowout loss, Jones was the beneficiary of some extended playing time. He made the most of the extra run by delivering a perfect shooting performance from the field while contributing in the defensive categories, but Jones shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value over the final week of the regular season. The two-way player is eligible to suit up in just one of the team's final three games, though he could be available for all of those contests if Dallas upgrades him to a standard NBA deal when the team is first able to do so Thursday. Even if that's the case, Jones won't be guaranteed a spot in the rotation with Dereck Lively, Anthony Davis and Gafford expected to be available for all three of those contests and likely to handle nearly all of the minutes at center.

Davis notched 27 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 135-104 loss to the Clippers.

Davis was visibly troubled by knee and abdominal ailments during the game, but he battled through the pain and led the team in points and rebounds. Although Davis requires rest to heal, the Mavericks have little choice but to keep him on the court to increase their postseason odds. Currently, Dallas is barely holding on to a play-in spot, and continued losses will allow the Kings and Suns to catch up. Davis should remain a steady presence while the team is still in the race.

Zubac closed with 25 points (11-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 28 minutes during Saturday's 135-104 victory over the Mavericks.

Thanks to his perfect shooting night, Zubac became the first player in NBA history to score 25 points and 10 rebounds without a turnover or missed shot. Although the veteran isn't the first name mentioned when considering elite centers, few have been as consistent as Zubac, who has handled a minute increase with ease this season. He's averaging 16.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 blocks through 76 games.

Reed contributed two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Reed remained in the rotation, playing as the primary backup behind Isaiah Stewart after Jalen Duren was a late scratch due to a leg issue. While Reed has now logged double-digit minutes in four straight games, his production has been largely underwhelming. During that time, he has averaged just 3.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per contest.

Huff accumulated zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) over six minutes during Saturday's 109-103 win over Detroit.

Huff failed to score for the fifth straight game, two of which he failed to leave the bench. Despite a season-ending knee injury to Brandon Clarke, Huff has been unable to find a path to consistent minutes. In his past 12 games, Huff is averaging 6.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per game.

Edey registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 21 rebounds, six assists and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over the Pistons.

Although Edey rarely sees enough shot volume to make a meaningful mark on the offensive end, his rebounding numbers have been elevated of late. In his past four games, Edey is averaging 13.0 rebounds per game, which is weighted down by a two-board performance in Monday's 117-103 loss to Boston.
