Barnes notched 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

The fifth-year star came up a couple dimes short of his third triple-double of the season and the ninth of his career. Barnes still produced his 23rd double-double of 2025-26 -- just three shy of his career high -- and five of them have come in the last 11 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 19.8 points, 8.6 boards, 6.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor.

Ingram provided 25 points (10-22 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

The 28-year-old guard led the Raptors in scoring on the night as he delivered at least 25 points for the third time in the last four games. Ingram has scored in double digits in 12 straight contests since returning to the lineup from a minor thumb issue, averaging 22.4 points, 5.7 boards, 3.9 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks during that span.

McDaniels totaled 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 victory over the Raptors.

The 25-year-old forward saw his streak of games with at least 20 points end at three. McDaniels remains locked in from long distance, draining at least one three-pointer in 12 straight contests and averaging 16.9 points, 4.2 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.2 blocks over that stretch while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor and a sizzling 56.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Hyland finished with 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 128-126 victory over the Raptors.

It was Hyland's best scoring effort since Jan. 13, when he dropped a season-high 23 points on the Bucks. However, the fifth-year guard scored in double digits only once during the 10 games in between those ceiling performances, making him little more than a DFS dart throw for fantasy purposes. Over that 12-game stretch, Hyland is averaging 8.3 points, 2.9 assists, 2.5 boards, 1.6 threes and 0.8 steals in 16.6 minutes from the second unit.

Gobert recorded 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 victory over the Raptors.

It was the fourth straight game in which Gobert had pulled down double-digit boards, and the double-double was his 23rd of the season, tying him for eighth in the NBA. The veteran center also remained busy on defense, and over his last 15 games Gobert has averaged 9.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 69.0 percent from the floor.

Shamet registered 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime win over the Nuggets.

The journeyman wing has caught fire from long range in February. Shamet has drained at least four three-pointers in three straight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 17.7 points, 4.7 threes, 1.7 boards and 1.7 assists in 27.7 minutes a contest from the second unit while shooting 52.8 percent from the floor and 53.8 percent (14-for-26) from beyond the arc.

Anunoby logged 20 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 48 minutes during Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime victory over the Nuggets.

The 28-year-old forward continues to be dialed in. Anunoby has drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight games and scored at least 20 points five times during that heater, during which he has averaged 21.7 points, 5.4 boards, 3.1 threes, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 58.6 percent from the floor and a blistering 50.0 percent from long distance.

Towns ended with 24 points (9-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime victory over the Nuggets.

It was the fourth straight double-double for Towns and his NBA-leading 34th of the season. The veteran center also leads the league with 11.9 rebounds per game, just ahead of former teammate Rudy Gobert (11.3 per game), and over the last 15 games Towns is averaging 16.5 points, 12.9 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks.

Hardaway produced 19 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 42 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime loss to New York.

The veteran forward had scored just nine combined points in the prior two games while shooting just 1-for-13 from the floor, but Hardaway cranked up his efficiency Wednesday even though his usage didn't increase significantly with the extra court time. Hardaway has drained multiple three-pointers in five of the last seven contests, averaging 15.1 points, 4.6 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.4 assists in 29.4 minutes over that span while shooting 48.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Murray ended with 39 points (15-33 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 48 minutes during Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime loss to the Knicks.

The 28-year-old guard led the Nuggets in scoring on the night, but the visitors ran out of gas in the sixth period. Murray has scored more than 30 points in two straight games and in five of his last 12, averaging 27.7 points, 7.4 assists, 3.2 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.1 steals over the latter stretch.
