Watkins closed Sunday's 121-115 loss to the Nets with 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 44 minutes.

With the Wizards missing several key players, Watkins moved into the starting unit and put up a season-high 20 points. He had played 19 minutes in two straight contests prior, so unless the Wizards are shorthanded again, fantasy managers shouldn't chase this line too aggressively.

Sharpe (calf) is out for Monday's game versus Denver.

Sharpe has been out since early February, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Wednesday against the Spurs.

Cardwell closed with 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 138-109 loss to the Clippers.

The rookie center set a new career scoring high in the rout as the Kings went to their bench early and often, while recording multiple blocks for the third time in the last four contests. Cardwell has had a steady role in the frontcourt rotation since returning from an ankle injury in mid-March, and over the last 12 games, he's averaging 5.1 points, 7.1 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.2 blocks in 18.4 minutes while shooting 56.0 percent from the floor.

Raynaud notched 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 138-109 loss to the Clippers.

It was the 18th double-double of the season for Raynaud, who continues to be productive in a Kings frontcourt missing Domantas Sabonis (knee), Keegan Murray (ankle) and others. The rookie center's 15 boards represented his best showing on the glass since he pulled down 19 against the pelicans on Feb. 9, and he's scored in double digits in nine of the last 10 games, averaging 18.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 threes and 1.1 combined steals and blocks over that span while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (8-from-18) from downtown.

Carter finished with 21 points (8-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 138-109 loss to the Clippers.

The 21 points led Sacramento on the night. Carter is seeing a big role to close out the season, starting seven straight games and averaging 13.9 points, 4.6 boards, 3.4 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.9 steals in 28.1 minutes. The Kings have little reason to decrease the second-year guard's usage given their place in the standings and the injury-depleted nature of their roster.

Miller notched 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 138-109 victory over the Kings.

The third-year guard continues to be a valuable source of secondary scoring off the Clippers' second unit. Miller has scored in double digits in three straight games and eight of his last 10, averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 threes in 24.0 minutes during that span while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor.

Sanders supplied 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one assist and four steals over 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 138-109 win over the Kings.

It's only the third time in his last 12 games (one start) that Sanders has scored in double digits, but the three made three-pointers tied his career high. The rookie forward is averaging 7.2 points, 1.3 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.3 steals in 15.0 minutes during that 12-game stretch as he struggles to maintain a consistent role in the Clippers' rotation.

Collins logged 25 points (9-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 138-109 win over the Kings.

Shifted to the second unit for the first time since March 14, Collins didn't miss a beat as he tied his season scoring high. The veteran big man has scored in double digits in eight of 11 games since returning in mid-March from a neck strain, averaging 13.5 points, 5.5 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.1 steals in 25.8 minutes over that stretch while shooting 53.9 percent from the floor.

Leonard recorded 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 138-109 victory over the Kings.

The veteran forward is showing he still has plenty left in the tank at the age of 34. Leonard led all scorers on the night, and on the season, he's on pace for a new career high by averaging 28.0 points over 62 contests. Over his last 16 games, he's produced 28.4 points, 6.4 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.6 steals while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Williams ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 win over Utah.

Williams was limited to just 26 minutes in a blowout win. He returned from a hamstring injury March 23 and has played six games since then, averaging 15.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. The Thunder's priority is to get Williams as healthy as possible for the upcoming playoff run. However, from a fantasy perspective, his numbers and playing time have been disappointing compared to his All-Star campaign in 2024-25.
