  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Scores 11 points in win

    Reid supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 victory over Boston.

    Reid returned to action after a two-game absence related to an ankle sprain. Across 69 appearances this season, Reid holds averages of 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers.

  • Ryan Dunn SF | PHO

    Suns' Ryan Dunn: Strong showing on defense

    Dunn closed with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 27 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-98 win over the Raptors.

    The second-year forward made an impact at the defensive end, with his four combined steals and blocks being his best effort at that end of the court since Jan. 27. Dunn has played at least 20 minutes in three straight games as Phoenix deals with injuries to its frontcourt, averaging 9.7 points, 6.3 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 threes in 23.3 minutes over that span.

  • Oso Ighodaro C | PHO

    Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Three rejections in win

    Ighodaro notched six points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 victory over the Raptors.

    The second-year center had gone five straight games without recording a block, but he made an impact at the rim Sunday as he tied his season high in rejections. Ighodaro has started 11 straight contests in place of Mark Williams (foot), averaging 8.8 points, 6.1 boards, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.1 minutes over that stretch while shooting 67.7 percent from the floor.

  • Jalen Green SG | PHO

    Suns' Jalen Green: Strikes for 20 in Sunday's win

    Green closed with 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 victory over the Raptors.

    The fifth-year wing scored 20-plus points for a second straight game, and the ninth time in 12 March contests. On the month, Green is averaging 22.3 points, 4.2 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals as he gets hot at the right time to help the Suns potentially climb out of the Play-In Tournament. With 10 games left on their schedule, they sit four games back in the standings of the trio of teams (the Rockets, Nuggets and Timberwolves) fighting for the fourth through sixth seeds in the Western Conference.

  • Jonathan Mogbo PF | SAC

    Raptors' Jonathan Mogbo: Makes impact on defense Sunday

    Mogbo supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and three steals in 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-98 loss to the Suns.

    Jakob Poeltl played only 17 minutes in the rout while no Toronto starter saw more than 27 minutes, and Mogbo took advantage of the extra run to set a new season high in steals. The second-year forward has played more than 10 minutes only twice in seven March appearances, and he hasn't scored 10-plus points in any of his 30 NBA games this season, making him tough to roster even as a DFS punt play.

  • Scottie Barnes PF | TOR

    Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Hits for team-high 17 in loss

    Barnes accumulated 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 loss to the Suns.

    The 17 points led the Raptors in a sluggish road performance. Barnes has scored at least 14 points in nine of 10 March contests despite a reduction in his shot volume, averaging 15.8 points, 5.7 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 threes on the month while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

  • Leaky Black SF | SAC

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Limited production in return

    Black (ankle) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 145-113 loss to the Knicks.

    A left ankle sprain kept Black from playing in each of the Wizards' last four games, but he was able to return to action Sunday to provide a boost to a Washington squad that was without nine players. Black ended up seeing the second-fewest minutes of anybody in the Wizards' nine-man rotation, finishing ahead of only Tristan Vukcevic (15 minutes), who exited the contest early due to back tightness. Washington will get Justin Champagnie back from suspension for Wednesday's game in Utah, and players such as Alex Sarr (toe) and Tre Johnson (foot) could be ready to return and might bump Black out of the rotation as a result. Black has limited availability due to his status as a two-way player and is eligible to play in nine of the Wizards' remaining 11 contests.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Stuffs stat sheet in win

    Hart ended with 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

    Hart returned to the lineup after missing Friday's loss to the Nets due to a right knee issue, and he went perfect from beyond the arc while delivering solid numbers in peripheral categories. Hart has missed three of New York's last six games, but he's been productive when available. Over nine March appearances, he's averaging 14.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Double-doubles off bench

    Robinson supplied 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 17 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

    Robinson made the most of his 17 minutes in this blowout win, posting his first double-double since March 13 while going perfect from the floor. Robinson has two double-doubles over his last four games, but his fantasy value is tied to his defensive production. He's posted four games with at least 10 boards and two blocks over that stretch. Robinson is averaging 6.6 points, 9.7 rebounds and a combined 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in 10 March appearances while shooting 78 percent from the floor.

  • Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 23 in blowout win Sunday

    Brunson produced 23 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

    Brunson could've ended with a better stat line had he logged more minutes, but there was no need to play him down the stretch as the Knicks were cruising to an easy win. The star floor general has failed to reach the 25-point game in back-to-back contests, something that hadn't happened since a three-game stretch between March 4 and March 8. Still, he's averaging 23.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game this month, so his role as the Knicks' go-to scoring and playmaking option isn't under any threat, although there will be times in which he'll cede the No. 1 role to Karl-Anthony Towns, like in this win.
