Gafford recorded 24 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Hawks.

Gafford was an unsolvable problem for the Hawks' interior defense, and despite not starting, the big man led Dallas in scoring while missing just one of his 10 shots from the floor. Gafford was making his return to the lineup after a three-game absence due to an illness, and if he puts up more of these types of performances, it'd be extremely hard to leave him out of your lineup in most formats even if he doesn't start regularly.

Washington logged 23 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Hawks.

Washington ended just one rebound away from securing what would've been his third double-double over his last four appearances. Even though the Mavericks have been struggling of late, Washington remains a solid, yet unspectacular, fantasy alternative across all formats. He's averaging 13.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game in nine appearances since the beginning of March.

Alexander-Walker ended with 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 victory over the Mavericks.

Alexander-Walker was unable to repeat the 41-point performance he delivered in the win over the Magic on Monday, but the talented guard continued his excellent season with another impressive performance. He's scored at least 20 points in three games in a row and six times over his last seven outings. He also drained multiple threes for the seventh straight game, showing his role in Atlanta's offensive scheme is enough reason to have him as a starter across all formats.

Johnson provided 17 points (7-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 win over the Mavericks.

By now, it shouldn't be surprising to see Johnson hover around triple-doubles every time he steps on the hardwood. He finished just one assist away from recording what would've been his third consecutive triple-double, and this was the sixth time that he ended just one assist away from such a feat. Johnson has 13 triple-doubles on the season, and he's been one of the most productive fantasy assets all season long due to his impressive, elite ability to fill the stat sheet with ease.

McCollum finished with 24 points (9-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 victory over Dallas.

McCollum bounced back quickly from the nine-point performance he delivered in the win over the Magic on Monday, a game in which he went 3-for-14 from the floor. The veteran guard has scored in double digits in nine of his 11 appearances since returning to the starting lineup Feb. 22, averaging 17.5 points per game over that stretch.

Durant notched 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Lakers.

Durant delivered an efficient shooting performance, but he wasn't as involved as he had been in previous games -- the 11 field-goal attempts were his third-lowest mark since the beginning of February. Durant has always been an efficient shooter and a reliable offensive weapon, so he should be able to turn things around rather quickly as soon as he gets as involved as he usually is on offense. Having said that, the fact that Durant has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his past four outings should be considered slightly worrisome at least.

Sengun totaled 27 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Lakers.

Sengun, who was returning to the hardwood after a brief two-game absence due to a back injury, led the Rockets in scoring in a game during which only he and Amen Thompson reached the 20-point plateau for Houston. The versatile big man posted a loaded line across the board, and his 10 assists were his best output in that category since he dished out 11 dimes in a triple-double against the Kings on Feb. 25.

Thompson had 26 points (11-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Lakers.

This was Thompson's third consecutive double-double, and the second over that span in which he surpassed the 20-point plateau. The versatile guard, who has adjusted well to life as the Rockets' starting point guard in the absence of Fred VanVleet (knee), has been excellent on offense of late and has scored in double digits in each of his last 10 games, averaging 21.6 points per game over that stretch.

Ayton closed Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Rockets with 16 points (8-10 FG), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 34 minutes.

Ayton missed just two shots from the field in this win, and even though he had to deal with a tough matchup in Alperen Sengun, he got the job done on both ends of the court. This was the 13th time he scored in double digits while recording multiple blocks, and the second time he's done so this month. It was also a step in the right direction offensively for Ayton, who was coming off back-to-back single-digit scoring efforts in the wins over the Nuggets and Rockets on March 14 and March 16, respectively.

James ended with 30 points (13-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 win over Houston.

James reached the 30-point threshold for the first time since Jan. 13, and this was just the fifth time he scored at least 30 points in a game all season long. However, what's even more impressive about his stat line is the fact that he missed just one shot and one free throw. The Lakers will continue to operate with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves as their 1-2 scoring punch, but they're virtually unstoppable if James performs like this as the No. 3 option on offense.
