Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Scores season-high 32 points
Nesmith logged 32 points (10-14 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 loss to the Bucks.
Nesmith was the Pacers' best player by a wide margin, scoring a game-high 32 points while also being extremely effective as a shooter, missing just four of his 14 shots and nailing seven three-pointers. This 32-point output was a season-high mark for Nesmith, and although he should revert to his regular No. 2 role on offense once Pascal Siakam (knee) returns to the hardwood, Nesmith should remain a key fantasy contributor on a struggling Pacers team.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Won't play Monday
Harper (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Clippers.
Harper is slated to miss his second straight game Monday, and for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's game in Sacramento. Carter Bryant will have the chance for some extended minutes with Harper out.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Scores 20, adds seven dimes
Rollins had 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 win over the Pacers.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis led the way for the Bucks in this game, but Rollins made his presence felt in the backcourt while ending just three assists shy of a double-double. Rollins has recorded at least 20 points and seven assists in back-to-back games, as he posted 22 points and eight dimes in the loss to the Hawks on Saturday, and he's dished out at least seven assists in each of his last four outings. Rollins is averaging 14.3 points and 6.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Scores 31 points in dominant effort
Antetokounmpo finished Sunday's 134-123 victory over the Pacers with 31 points (11-22 FG, 9-13 FT), 14 rebounds and eight assists across 23 minutes.
Antetokounmpo returned to the lineup after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Hawks, and while he was still operating under a minutes restriction, he made the most of his playing time. Antetokounmpo has cleared the 30-point mark in his last two appearances, and while his injury status is worth monitoring going forward, he should be a lock to start on a regular basis when cleared to play. He's recorded more points than minutes played in his last two outings.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Impresses off bench in win
Portis registered 29 points (11-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 victory over the Pacers.
Portis has been dealing with a back injury but ended up playing both legs of this back-to-back set, and the veteran forward posted an impressive stat line as the Bucks snapped a four-game losing skid. Portis has been an outstanding contributor off the bench, as this was his 11th consecutive game with double-digit points, and he's also posted two double-doubles in his last four appearances. Portis is averaging 15.6 points per game off the bench since the All-Star break.

Warriors' Seth Curry: To miss at least a week
Curry will be re-evaluated in a week due to a mild left adductor strain, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Curry exited Friday's game against the Timberwolves early and will face a prolonged absence due to a left adductor strain. He will miss at least four games before getting re-evaluated. His absence doesn't figure to impact the rotation significantly.

Warriors' Al Horford: Will be re-evaluated in one week
An MRI confirmed a minor right calf strain for Horford and he will be re-evaluated in one week, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Horford is set to miss at least the next five games, and it's important to note that while he'll be re-evaluated in one week, that doesn't mean he will return at that point. Quinten Post figures to be more involved in the rotation while Horford is sidelined.

Scottie Barnes PF | TOR
Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Continues to produce across board
Barnes accumulated 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 victory over the Pistons.
Barnes came only two assists short of what would have been his third triple-double of the year. The All-Star forward has been a reliable nine-category fantasy producer all season long, and he's posted at least one steal or block in 13 straight games. Over his last 10 contests, Barnes has averaged 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks in 34.0 minutes per game.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Reaches 30-point mark again
Ingram ended Sunday's 119-108 win over the Pistons with 34 points (12-25 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and one rebound across 39 minutes.
Ingram is getting on a heater for the Raptors, dropping at least 30 points in back-to-back contests and 22 points in three consecutive games. Sunday also marked the star forward's 11th performance with at least 30 points in 2025-26. Over his last six outings, Ingram has averaged 21.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes per game while shooting 40.0 percent from deep.
