    Nets' Drake Powell: Scores 10 points in blowout loss

    Powell registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 loss to the Pistons.

    Powell reached double-digit points for the first time since Feb. 9. However, he's been mostly a bench option for a struggling Nets team, and his overall production hasn't stood out even when he's received more minutes. Thus, his fantasy upside should remain fairly low until further notice, even though he's drawn two straight starts.

    Nets' Danny Wolf: Comes close to double-double

    Wolf racked up 13 points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 loss to the Pistons.

    Wolf didn't have his best shooting performance, but making seven of his nine trips to the charity stripe allowed him to salvage his scoring output. The rookie out of Michigan also ended two boards shy of recording what would've been his first double-double since Jan. 11. Wolf has been trending in the right direction of late, scoring in double digits in six of his last eight games despite coming off the bench in all but one of those outings.

  • Nets' Michael Porter: Scores 19 in blowout loss

    Porter had 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 loss to Detroit.

    Porter has been the Nets' best player this season, and while he had that title again Tuesday, he was slightly disappointing from a fantasy perspective. The star forward, who returned to the court after not playing in Monday's win over the Grizzlies, failed to reach the 20-point mark for the first time since March 3, when he was limited to nine points in a loss to the Heat. Still, Porter has scored at least 18 points in all but one of his last 10 appearances. He might not repeat the numbers he had in the first half of the campaign, but he should continue as the Nets' go-to option on offense, which should be enough to give him decent fantasy appeal every time he steps on the court.

  • Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Perfect from field in win

    Robinson ended with 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 win over the Nets.

    The Pistons didn't have problems securing a 38-point blowout win over the Nets, and Robinson was one of the many players who made their presence felt on offense. Even though he doesn't have the same impact as other players in the offensive scheme, Robinson's elite three-point shooting and floor-spacing ability are key for the Pistons. He's drained multiple three-pointers in 14 of his 17 appearances since the beginning of February.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Elite efficiency in win

    Duren ended with 26 points (9-10 FG, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 victory over Brooklyn.

    Cade Cunningham stole the show with his 21-point, 15-assist double-double in 26 minutes, but Duren also deserves praise after scoring 26 points (while missing just one shot from the field) in 23 minutes. The star big man has been asked to handle a bigger role on offense at times, and he hasn't disappointed. Duren has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 10 appearances since the All-Star break, as well as hitting the 25-point plateau five times.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Racks up another double-double

    Cunningham registered 21 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 win over Brooklyn.

    Cunningham was coming off a 26-point, 10-assist performance in the loss to the Heat on Sunday, and the star floor general had another impressive showing in this blowout 38-point win. Taking advantage of a favorable defensive matchup, Cunningham shot 80 percent from the floor and dished out his third-best output in assists this season. Cunningham now has eight double-doubles over his last 10 appearances since the All-Star break.

  • Tre Johnson SG | WAS

    Wizards' Tre Johnson: Efficient shooting performance

    Johnson registered 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 loss to the Heat.

    Johnson reached the 15-point plateau for a third straight game, and while that shouldn't be much of a surprise given the way he's been shooting the rock of late, the rookie out of Texas has turned heads due to his efficiency. He's gone 19-for-38 from the floor in those three games while making 12 of his 23 attempts from beyond the arc.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Scores 28 points in 20 minutes

    Sarr accumulated 28 points (12-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 loss to the Heat.

    Sarr operated under a minutes restriction once again and was limited to 20 minutes. However, the Frenchman was a dominant offensive force while he was out there, finishing with 28 points while missing just seven of his 19 shots from the floor. That scoring output was Sarr's best mark since Jan. 27, when he scored 29 points and added 12 rebounds in a win over the Trail Blazers. Sarr has made just two appearances since the All-Star break after recovering from a hamstring injury, and the Wizards are likely to monitor his workload in the final weeks of the regular season since Washington doesn't have a realistic chance of reaching the Play-In Tournament.

  • Will Riley SF | WAS

    Wizards' Will Riley: Second-best scoring mark of season

    Riley closed Tuesday's 150-129 loss to the Heat with 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 40 minutes.

    Riley was one of the few standout performers for the Wizards in a game that will go down in history for Bam Adebayo's 83-point performance. Riley notched his second-best scoring mark of the campaign and reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 7, when he posted a season-best 27 points in a loss to the Nets. He's been on a tear since the All-Star break, scoring in double digits in nine of his last 11 appearances.

  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Rolls to triple-double

    Doncic produced 31 points (11-24 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 victory over Minnesota.

    Doncic teamed up with Austin Reaves for a combined 62 points on a night the Lakers were without LeBron James (hip/foot). Doncic converted on just 33.3 percent of his triples, but his overall volume on the offensive end helped him to a third straight game of 30-plus points. The 27-year-old was also able to secure his first double-double since Jan. 30 with the help of an impressive all-around performance, which comes after he struggled in the assist column in his previous two outings.
