  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Strong line off bench

    Ware totaled 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 win over the Cavaliers.

    Ware continues to trend in the right direction for Miami. Over his last eight games, he's nearly averaging a double-double in 21.5 minutes per contest with 8.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks on 47.2 percent shooting from the field.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Posts strong double-double

    Gobert fouled out of Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets after recording 14 points (7-13 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.

    Gobert led Minnesota in rebounds and blocks on the way to a hard-fought win. He's now recorded a double-double in three of his last four outings, averaging 15.5 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.0 blocks over this recent hot stretch.

  • Norman Powell SG | MIA

    Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 19 with first unit

    Powell racked up 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 victory over the Cavaliers.

    Powell moved back into the first unit Wednesday, as the Heat continue to experiment with different groups. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Powell maintains a steady usage rate and workload, so it's not a make-or-break situation for his fantasy value.

  • Jerami Grant PF | POR

    Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Drops 18 in Wednesday's rout

    Grant notched 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks.

    Making his return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury, Grant was his usual dangerous self from long distance. The veteran forward has drained multiple three-pointers in nine of his 11 appearances in March, averaging 17.5 points, 3.4 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals on the month while shooting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Deni Avdija SG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Hits for 18 against Milwaukee

    Avdija notched 18 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 win over the Bucks.

    The 25-year-old forward hasn't scored fewer than 17 points in 10 straight games since returning from a back issue in early March. Over that stretch, Avdija is averaging 21.6 points, 7.0 assists, 6.1 boards, 1.1 threes and 1.4 combined blocks and steals despite shooting woes that have seen him manage a 42.3 percent mark from the floor and 20.8 percent from three-point range.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Big double-double in rout

    Clingan closed Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks with 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four steals in 25 minutes.

    The second-year center pulled down double-digit boards for an 11th straight game as he racked up his 33rd double-double of the season, tied for seventh in the NBA with Luka Doncic. During that stretch, Clingan is averaging 15.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 2.3 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.0 steals in only 26.5 minutes a contest while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor, as he emerges as a fantasy stud.

  • Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Strikes for team-high 23 Wednesday

    Henderson closed with 23 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-99 win over Milwaukee.

    It was the third time in the last 10 games that Henderson produced 20-plus points, with Wednesday's effort pacing the Trail Blazers. The third-year guard is averaging 16.6 points, 3.3 assists, 2.8 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch while shooting 47.2 percent from long distance, a remarkable hot streak for a player with a career 34.0 percent mark from three-point range.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Efficient in win over OKC

    Queta logged 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Thunder.

    Queta plays a secondary role on offense, but the big man has found ways to contribute and is putting up solid numbers across the board. He left his mark defensively Wednesday with two blocks, making it the third time he's done that in his last seven games. It was also the third time he scored in double digits during that span. He'll remain valuable as long as he continues to start and see the majority of center minutes while Nikola Vucevic (finger) is sidelined. Queta is shooting 65.9 percent from the floor in that seven-game stretch and 63.6 percent since the All-Star break.

  • Bucks' Andre Jackson: Busy on defense in loss

    Jackson finished with eight points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and four steals over 21 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    The third-year forward had managed only four total steals in his prior 27 NBA games combined, but Jackson took advantage of extra run in the rout to tie his career high in the category. Jackson's played double-digit minutes only three times in 10 March appearances, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) and Bobby Portis (wrist) all on the shelf right now, there could be plenty of court time available in the Bucks' frontcourt.

  • Jayson Tatum PF | BOS

    Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Sniffs triple-double

    Tatum contributed 19 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Thunder.

    Jaylen Brown led the way for the Celtics in this contest, but Tatum left his mark after ending just three assists away from recording a triple-double. Tatum continues to work his way back from an Achilles injury that sidelined him until March 6. The star forward has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last three games while shooting 32.6 percent from the floor in that span, but he's supplemented his poor shooting with solid contributions across the box score.
