Potter totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to Detroit.

Potter recorded his third straight double-double, and his fourth in the past five games. After a slow start to the season, Potter was able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, averaging 11.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes per contest over his final 25 games of the season.

Huff recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 133-121 loss to Detroit.

Huff closed the season with a strong defensive performance, recording at least five blocks for the second straight game. Although his role has fluctuated, seemingly on a nightly basis, his defensive output can't be ignored. Through 82 games, he averaged 1.9 blocks per game, putting him in the top five for that category.

Cunningham provided seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and 14 assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.

Despite having very little to play for, Detroit opted to play the majority of its roster, including Cunningham, who still managed to hand out a team-high 14 assists. Having recently returned from a collapsed lung, it appears as though Cunningham is ready to go for the playoffs, having played 25.3 minutes per game in his past three appearances since getting back on the floor.

Beringer produced 24 points (9-12 FG, 6-9 FT), 13 rebounds, seven blocks and two assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 win over New Orleans.

With Rudy Gobert (rest) and Naz Reid (shoulder) inactive, Beringer turned in the most impressive performance of his young career, recording his first double-double of the season while adding a staggering seven blocks. The rookie didn't see consistent playing time throughout the year, averaging 7.9 minutes across 40 regular-season appearances, though he did display flashes of potential when called upon. Heading into the postseason, Beringer isn't likely to see much action with Gobert and Reid back in the lineup.

Sasser ended Sunday's 133-121 victory over Indiana with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) over seven minutes.

With Cade Cunningham now seemingly fit and healthy, Sasser's brief run of relevance has come to an end. In fact, the ascension of Daniss Jenkins may have brought that to an end some time ago. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, Sasser has seen only 9.7 minutes per game, averaging 4.4 points and 1.1 three-pointers.

Lanier posted two points (1-1 FG) over six minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.

Lanier once again played a limited role, having exceeded 16 minutes on only four occasions this season. Given he has seen the floor only 34 times thus far, it's safe to assume that he won't be a key piece for the Pistons heading into the playoffs.

Fears totaled 36 points (12-28 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

Fears continued his strong scoring stretch to close the regular season, scoring exactly 36 points for the second straight game. His usage spiked over the past three contests, averaging 28.7 field-goal attempts after not reaching the 20-attempt mark in any prior game. The No. 7 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will close his rookie campaign averaging 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 82 appearances (49 starts).

Tonje closed with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 win over the Magic.

Tonje suited up for just the sixth time at the NBA level this season, taking on a career-high minutes load on a night in which the the Celtics held out eight rotation players with minor injuries. He landed a couple of clutch three-pointers, helping to dispatch a Magic squad that had something to play for in the regular-season finale. Since Tonje is signed to a two-way contract, he won't be eligible to play for the Celtics during their upcoming playoff run.

Garza supplied 27 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 win over the Magic.

Garza was a force to be reckoned with, helping lift Boston to an impressive victory over Orlando. This performance puts a cherry on top of what has been a solid regular season for Garza, albeit as the second- or third-string center on most nights. With Neemias Queta (toe) and Nikola Vucevic (finger) both likely to return for the playoffs, Garza will almost certainly resume his role as a depth piece.

Harper supplied 27 points (10-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 victory over Orlando.

Harper played a whopping 37 minutes, tallying a career-high 27 points as the Celtics upset the Magic. With Boston opting to rest its entire starting five, Harper was one of a few players who stepped up, helping deliver arguably the team's most inspiring victory of the season. However, despite this effort, don't expect to see Harper too much during the playoffs, given he has averaged just 10.9 minutes per game through 29 appearances.
