Ingram finished Tuesday's 121-95 victory over the Heat with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes.

Ingram scored all 23 of his points through the first three quarters (including 15 in the first half) to finish as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (25). It was an encouraging scoring performance out of Ingram, who has scored 20-plus points in just two of his last nine outings despite connecting on 49.6 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span. The Raptors will need Ingram's best over the final week of the regular season as the team looks to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Tatum said after Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets that he will play Thursday against the Knicks, meaning he will likely sit out Friday's game against the Pelicans for right Achilles injury management, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Tatum was Boston's second-leading scorer Tuesday, finishing with 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go with five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes. The star forward is set to face the Knicks on Thursday at Madison Square Garden, where he ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals last spring. He has yet to be cleared to play both halves of back-to-back sets, so Tatum is expected to sit out Friday's contest before returning to action for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic.

Herro closed Tuesday's 121-95 loss to Toronto with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes.

Herro returned to the court for Tuesday's game after missing Saturday's win over the Wizards while attending to a personal matter. His eight attempted field goals were a season low, but he still finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer while co-leading the team in assists with Davion Mitchell. Since the All-Star break, Herro has averaged 20.8 points, 4.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 steals over 31.7 minutes per game.

Wiggins recorded 24 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 loss to the Raptors.

Wiggins was one of the lone bright spots for the Heat during Tuesday's blowout loss, leading the team in both scoring and three-point makes. It was the second straight game that the veteran forward connected on at least four three-pointers and the 10th time this season. Since missing eight games in March due to a left toe injury, Wiggins has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.8 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 28.4 minutes per contest.

Reese amassed 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 loss to Chicago.

This was Reese's second straight double-double and the fourth of his career. Over the past two games, the two-way player has totaled 34 points, 27 rebounds, five assists, six steals and two swats.

Carrington had 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 loss to Chicago.

While Carrington did deliver with the counting stats, he struggled to get his shot to drop and also coughed up five turnovers. Over the past two games, Carrington has nearly matched his assists total (10) with turnovers (nine).

Coulibaly amassed 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 loss to the Bulls.

Coulibaly was one of the few Wizards to score efficiently during Tuesday's blowout loss, and this was his second straight game with multiple swats. The 21-year-old swingman has been playing well since the All-Star break with averages of 14.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.5 triples, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per game on 45/38/70 shooting splits.

Dillingham racked up 26 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 victory over the Wizards.

Dillingham finished with a plus-24 differential in the blowout win and notched new career highs in points, rebounds and triples. The second-year guard will have a chance at an encore performance in Thursday's rematch with Washington.

Jones closed Tuesday's 129-98 win over the Wizards with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 27 minutes.

Jones did an impressive job of running Chicago's offense, and he likely would have had an even bigger stat line if the game weren't such a blowout. Jones has really stepped it up over the past 10 games, during which he has averaged 19.0 points, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals per contest, which has him flirting with top-65 value in fantasy leagues.

Sexton recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and four steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 129-98 victory over the Wizards.

Sexton ripped away two steals within his first five minutes of play, and he finished with a season-high four swipes in the blowout win. He'll have another chance to take advantage of the Wizards' lackadaisical play in a rematch with Washington on Thursday.
