Antetokounmpo closed Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers with eight points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over four minutes.

Antetokounmpo made a rare appearance in the season finale with most of the roster sidelined. He made a total of six appearances in 2025-26 for an average of 3.4 minutes per contest. Like his brother, Thanasis, Alex's future with the club will likely hinge on what happens to Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee).

Williams registered 14 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 loss to the Lakers.

Williams was one of several Utah players who experienced growth as the season went on, though his improvements after the All-Star break were noticeable. Williams averaged 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in his sophomore year in the NBA, but when considering only the games after the All-Star break, the former Colorado standout averaged 13.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists per contest. There was marked progress for Williams throughout the season after a difficult rookie season in 2024-25.

Antetokounmpo contributed eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers.

Antetokounmpo played a major role in the season finale with so many regulars out for the Bucks. Antetokounmpo ended the campaign with 34 appearances to his name with averages of 1.4 points and 0.9 rebounds in 4.4 minutes per contest. His future will almost certainly hinge on what happens to Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee).

Bailey accumulated 15 points (7-21 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 loss to the Lakers.

Bailey endured a rough shooting performance in his final game of the 2025-26 season, but the rookie out of Rutgers showed a marked improvement as the campaign went on. He finishes his rookie with averages of 13.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game across 72 appearances, but those figures improve to 18.3 points, 4.9 boards and 2.0 dimes per game in 23 contests after the All-Star break. All things considered, it was a successful season for Bailey, who's expected to be a key player for the Jazz for years to come.

Tshiebwe totaled 29 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 FT), 17 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 loss to the Lakers.

Tshiebwe was a bench player for the Jazz throughout the season, but he started in four of the team's final five games and posted encouraging numbers. He averaged 14.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game over that stretch while shooting 62.3 percent from the floor. The three-year veteran ended the campaign averaging 7.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while starting in six of his 27 regular-season appearances.

Jackson ended Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers with nine points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes.

With so many regulars sitting for the Bucks, Jackson saw extended run for the season finale. Jackson appeared in 48 games with averages of 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per contest. The Bucks hold a $2.41 million team option for 2026-27.

Dieng supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers.

Following his trade from the Thunder, Dieng immediately became more involved for the rebuilding Bucks. Across 30 games with his new team, Dieng played 26.8 minutes per contest with 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers on 42.3 percent shooting from the field. He could have a sizable role next season depending on what happens with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee).

Prince amassed 14 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers.

A neck injury robbed Prince of a huge chunk of the season, limiting him to 26 regular-season contests. He averaged 23.5 minutes per game to go with 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.3 three-pointers on 45.0 percent shooting from the field. Prince holds a $3.82 million player option for 2026-27.

Bryant closed Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Nuggets with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 30 minutes.

The rookie took advantage of the expanded playing time and posted a solid line despite struggling massively with his three-point shooting. Don't expect Bryant to be much of a factor in the playoffs, though. He averaged 4.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 71 appearances during the regular season while logging 11.5 minutes per contest.

Fox closed with 24 points (8-21 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Fox handled a steady workload in the regular-season finale and posted a strong fantasy line even when considering his lack of efficiency from the field. Fox averaged 18.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in 72 regular-season appearances. His numbers took a hit compared to the 2024-25 campaign, but that's due to the emergence of the young talent surrounding him, such as MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama (ribs), Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper (thumb). Still, Fox should operate as the Spurs' No. 2 option on offense in the playoffs.
