  • Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Pops for 26 points in loss

    Sensabaugh ended with 26 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.

    Sensabaugh has made the most of his opportunities during Utah's rash of injuries despite missing a few games over the past couple of weeks. The Ohio State product has logged seven starts this month despite spending most of the season stuck on the depth chart behind Lauri Markkanen (hip) and Ace Bailey. The short-handed situation has significantly heightened Sensabaugh's profile, and he'll likely keep up the production as the season comes to a close.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Flirts with double-double in defeat

    Filipowski notched 26 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.

    Filipowski fell one rebound shy of a double-double and proved to be one of Utah's only bright spots in the crushing defeat. The Jazz are woefully short-handed, but Filipowski has been a consistent presence following Jusuf Nurkic's (nose) season-ending injury. The door is wide open for the second-year pro to post solid numbers despite the team's fortunes, and he has the inside track for the starting job at center next season.

  • Grayson Allen SG | CHA

    Suns' Grayson Allen: Posts 19 points in cleanup work

    Allen registered 19 points (7-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 victory over Utah.

    Allen's opportunities increased as the Suns built an insurmountable lead. He spearheaded the bench-clearing effort in the second half and posted the solid total after logging 21 points during the heartbreaking loss to Denver earlier in the week. Allen's recent knee injury didn't appear to be an issue in the game, but he may be on a slight minute restriction Monday night against the Grizzlies.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Pours in 26 points

    Booker produced 26 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 victory over Utah.

    Booker and teammate Jalen Green inflicted all of their damage in just three quarters, as both of them took a seat and missed the final stanza with the game well in hand. The Suns will need more inspired performances from Booker as they make one final push to claw their way out of the play-in bracket. The All-Star veteran has had a scintillating month of production, averaging 27.9 points, 5.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds over 14 games in March.

  • Jalen Green SG | PHO

    Suns' Jalen Green: Pops for 31 points in blowout

    Green supplied 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 win over the Jazz.

    Green compiled his brilliant total with only 22 minutes on the court. The Suns elected to sit Green and Devin Booker for the entire fourth quarter with the game well in hand, and the former would have almost certainly eclipsed his season high of 36 points if he had stayed in the game. Although hampered by injury for a sizeable chunk of the season, Green has been productive since returning to action. Over 26 games, he's averaged 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 26.1 minutes per contest.

  • Cedric Coward SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Drops team-high 24 points

    Coward contributed 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and four steals across 24 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 victory over Chicago.

    Coward delivered on both ends of the floor, recording a career-high four steals while also scoring at least 20 points for just the sixth time. Although his playing time continues to be slightly underwhelming, he has now suited up in three straight games. The fact that a missed game could be just around the corner is worrying, but for now, he should be held in most leagues.

  • Grizzlies' Adama Bal: Logs 28 minutes in debut

    Bal finished Saturday's 125-124 victory over the Bulls with three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes.

    Bal made his NBA debut, fresh off signing a 10-day contract earlier Saturday. With Memphis holding out 11 players due to injury and another (DeJon Jarreau, elbow) exiting early, Bal ended up seeing extensive playing time right out of the gate. However, Bal delivered a listless fantasy line Saturday, which had been par for the course during his time in the G League. Over his 29 appearances for the G League's Westchester Knicks prior to signing with Memphis, Bal averaged just 7.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

  • Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Career-high 22 minutes

    Olbrich ended Saturday's 125-124 loss to Memphis with eight points (2-2 FG, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 22 minutes.

    Olbrich started the second half over Leonard Miller, flirting with a double-double in what ended up being a career-high 22 minutes. While this was seemingly a step in the right direction for the rookie, it should be noted that Chicago was without both Nick Richards (elbow) and Guerschon Yabusele (ankle). Should one or both players return for Monday's game against the Spurs, Olbrich could very well find himself playing limited minutes off the bench.

  • Leonard Miller SF | CHI

    Bulls' Leonard Miller: Struggles in start

    Miller racked up five points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 loss to Memphis.

    Miller was elevated to the starting lineup, sliding in at center for the first time this season. While the promotion was encouraging, his performance was certainly not. In fact, this was his worst performance in quite some time, having scored in double digits in nine straight games prior to Saturday. Despite the lack of production, Miller remains a viable fantasy option, albeit one with a seemingly unpredictable role.

  • Collin Sexton SG | LAL

    Bulls' Collin Sexton: Scoring surge continues

    Sexton accumulated 26 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Sexton scored at least 20 points for the third time in his past four games, continuing to provide the Bulls with a nice offensive punch off the bench. Although his overall appeal is somewhat limited, Sexton has been doing more than enough to be rostered in most leagues. In 11 games over the past month, he has averaged 20.2 points, 1.2 steals and 2.8 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game, good enough for top-65 value in standard formats.
