Robinson finished with eight points (4-6 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 108-105 victory over the Hawks.

Robinson got it done on both ends of the floor, making some key plays for the Knicks in what felt like a playoff game. Seemingly healthy now, Robinson figures to play a sizeable role for New York, providing the team with an elite defensive presence and a dynamic rebounder, particularly on the offensive glass.

Hart accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-105 victory over the Hawks.

Hart delivered arguably his worst performance of the season, continuing what has been a rough few games. In three appearances over the past week, he has averaged just 4.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists, leaving him well outside the top 250 during that time. Although he remains a key piece of the rotation, given the schedule this week, Hart is someone to consider moving on from, should a hot waiver target be available.

Bitadze posted nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 123-107 victory over the Pistons.

Bitadze logged at least 20 minutes for the first time in his past 17 appearances, shifting up in the rotation after Wendell Carter was forced from the game due to a neck injury. While it has been a disappointing season for Bitadze, the final week of action could end up being his best stretch, should Carter be forced to miss additional time. Assuming that is the case, managers should view Bitadze as a strong stream candidate.

Embiid racked up 34 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-19 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 39 minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to the Spurs.

Embiid turned in a strong performance on the offensive end after missing Saturday's game against Detroit for rest purposes. He also recorded his second straight double-double with the help of a strong night on the boards, but his impressive final line wasn't quite enough to help Philly secure a victory. Embiid is averaging 28.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.2 blocks over his last five outings.

Suggs racked up 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 123-107 victory over the Pistons.

Suggs recorded his third double-double of the season, including a season-high 12 assists. When healthy, Suggs has been a revelation this season, putting up top-50 value through 54 appearances, averaging 13.7 points, 5.6 assists, 1.9 steals ad 2.0 three-pointers. At this point in his career, ongoing injury concerns are the only thing holding him back from being a regular top-60 target.

Black accumulated 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 15 minutes during Monday's 123-107 victory over the Pistons.

Black returned to the court for the first time in the past 17 games, having been sidelined due to an abdominal injury. While it has been a breakout campaign for Black, it should be noted that much of his production came when others around him were also injured. Given the length of his absence, expect to see Black playing limited minutes for the remainder of the regular season.

Thompson finished with eight points (4-5 FG), three rebounds, six assists and three blocks over 31 minutes during Monday's 123-107 loss to Orlando.

Thompson was passive on the offensive end, a trend that has hampered him all season. However, he did manage to record at least three blocks for the second time in his past three games, continuing what has been a strong season on the defensive end. Expect him to continue in a similar role for the remainder of the season, and likely into next season as well.

Green totaled 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 123-107 loss to Orlando.

Green rattled off his best performance in quite some time, playing an elevated role as Detroit went with an undersized lineup. While this was a great start to the week for anyone who grabbed Green, it's clear that his value is tied to the availability of others around him.

Castle contributed 19 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 assists, 10 rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 115-102 win over the 76ers.

Castle briefly exited to the locker room in the first quarter due to an apparent leg issue but returned to start the second and finished the game. The second-year guard stuffed the stat sheet and helped power the Spurs to a win after Victor Wembanyama (rib) went down. Castle led San Antonio in scoring while posting game-high marks in assists and rebounds. The UConn product recorded his sixth career triple-double, all of which have come this season, and his third since the All-Star break.

Brunson recorded 30 points (11-26 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 assists, three rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Monday's 108-105 win over Atlanta.

Brunson didn't turn in his most efficient performance but still finished as New York's leading scorer, reaching the 30-point threshold for the third time over his last six appearances. The star point guard also dished out a game-high 13 assists en route to his second straight double-double and 11th on the campaign. Additionally, he chipped in multiple steals for the first time since March 20, matching the game high with two swipes.
