Doncic registered 42 points (13-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 10-10 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Cavaliers.

Doncic didn't skip a beat after serving a one-game suspension Monday against the Wizards for picking up his 16th technical foul of the campaign. He put together an offensive masterpiece and secured his first double-double since March 18 by reaching double-digit assists. Doncic reached the 40-point threshold for the 16th time this year and closed March by reaching the 40-point mark in three consecutive showings.

Collins went to the locker room during the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned for the start of the fourth, Adam Ausland of Fox Sports Radio reports.

Ausland notes that Collins appeared to suffer the injury while competing with Brook Lopez for a rebound. Collins checked out of the game with 6:23 remaining in the third period to get evaluated in the locker room. He would later emerge from the tunnel in time to start the final period of play.

Sheppard ended with 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 win over the Knicks.

Sheppard moved back to the bench, although he still managed to maintain his recent momentum. While his demotion was seemingly a step in the wrong direction, head coach Ime Udoka spoke prior to the game, indicating this was merely a temporary move, with Sheppard likely back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks. Continue to roster him with confidence.

Capela contributed zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 victory over the Knicks.

Capela's role, although relatively secure, is certainly not that of a player aspiring to be a starter in the NBA. Now toward the backend of his career, Capela is really the only option Houston has in terms of a backup center. While he can provide sporadic contributions in both rebounds and blocks, his production has been far too inconsistent to warrant fantasy attention.

Robinson amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 loss to the Rockets.

Robinson has struggled to have an impact in recent times, averaging just 4.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.9 minutes per game across his past three appearances. Although he has been mostly healthy, his impact remains inconsistent, particularly from a fantasy standpoint. At best, managers can consider him for streaming purposes when in need of boards and blocks.

Sochan racked up two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across two minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 loss to the Rockets.

Sochan saw the court for just the third time in the past nine games, all of which have been during garbage time. Since arriving in New York, Sochan has been unable to carve out a consistent role, logging double-digit minutes only once in 13 appearances.

Clarkson supplied 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 loss to the Rockets.

Clarkson has been mostly a non-factor this season, sitting outside the top 350 through 66 appearances. Tuesday's double-digit performance was just the second time he has reached that mark in his past six games. With season averages of 8.9 points and 1.1 three-pointers, it's tough to make a case for him, even as a potential stream option.

Goodwin will be sent for further testing after suffering a hip or groin injury during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Magic, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. He ended the game with nine points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 29 minutes.

It's not clear when Goodwin suffered the injury, but head coach Jordan Ott noted after the matchup that the guard is being sent for further evaluation. He can be considered day-to-day until the team has more to share on the severity of the issue.

Durant finished Tuesday's 111-94 victory over the Knicks with 27 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 35 minutes.

Durant looked extremely comfortable on the offensive end Tuesday night and ended the game with a team-high 27 points with the help of four triples. The 37-year-old was also heavily involved as a playmaker, and he's now dished out eight or more dimes in three of his previous four outings.

Barrett finished Tuesday's 127-116 loss to Detroit with 24 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Barrett was listed on the injury report due to a left shoulder injury he sustained during Sunday's blowout win against Orlando. He was cleared to play Tuesday, and his shoulder didn't appear to bother him in an efficient night from both the field and charity stripe. Barrett will wrap up the month of March having averaged 21.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.7 steals over 31.0 minutes per game.
