Kalkbrenner produced nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 victory over New York.

Kalkbrenner continues to serve as the backup center, a role that has yielded very little in terms of viable fantasy production. In 15 games over the past month, he has averaged just 6.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game.

Queen went for 30 points (11-28 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 22 rebounds, four assists, one steal and a block in 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

Queen was dominant on the glass Sunday, collecting a career-high 22 rebounds. The impressive rookie was also able to amass 30 points by being especially aggressive in hunting his shot. This was evident in the fact that he took 28 shots from the floor, blowing past his previous high of 18 attempts. Queen averaged 24.0 points, 18.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in 39.0 minutes per contest over his last three appearances to close the season.

Reed recorded 26 points (11-11 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks in 21 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.

Reed put together a flawless performance Sunday, logging a game-high 26 points without missing a shot or committing a turnover. On top of an impressive offensive display, Reed was productive on the defensive end, sending back three shots and collecting three steals. With Detroit now entering the playoffs, Reed's role figures to decrease, but he enters the postseason in outstanding form.

Capela is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Reed Sheppard, Josh Okogie, Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate will join Capela in the first unit for Sunday's regular-season finale. Over two starts this season, Capela has averaged 8.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

Looney is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale in Minnesota.

Josh Oduro will replace Looney in the first unit for Sunday's game, and with the Pelicans mathematically eliminated from the postseason, Looney might not be in the rotation. As a reserve this season, Looney has averaged 2.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

Powell will start Sunday's game against the Bulls.

With Marvin Bagley (shoulder) and Daniel Gafford (rest) out, Powell will get the starting nod in Sunday's season finale. As a starter this season (11 games), the veteran big man has averaged 5.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 24.6 minutes per tilt.

Ighodaro will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

With the Suns locked into the seventh seed and resting their starters, Ighodaro will start the regular-season finale. Across 23 starts this season, the second-year big man has averaged 8.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 stocks in 27.5 minutes.

Valanciunas will come off the bench for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Spurs.

Nikola Jokic (wrist) will return from a one-game absence, but he'll likely have his minutes limited, so Valanciunas could still see quality playing time in the reserve role. Per 36 minutes this season, Valanciunas has averaged 23.3 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Williams (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Williams will get the night off before likely returning for the Play-In Tournament. Without him, Oso Ighodaro could be back in the starting lineup for the first time since the 127-107 loss to Charlotte on April 2.

Plumlee will start Sunday versus the Nuggets, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

Both Victor Wembanyama (ribs) and Luke Kornet (shoulder) will skip San Antonio's regular-season finale, which will result in Plumlee earning his third start of the season. In his previous two starts for the Hornets this season, Plumlee averaged 5.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.
