White finished Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder with 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes.

Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics to victory in this matchup, and while White had some decent numbers in the assists department, he had a rough go with his shot. White is expected to operate as the Celtics' No. 3 option on offense now that Jayson Tatum is back in the mix, and White's numbers have suffered because of that. He's gone four games in a row without surpassing the 15-point mark, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from three-point range.

Rollins racked up 36 points (13-26 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.

The 36 points led all scorers on the night as Rollins established a new career high, but only three other Bucks even scored in double digits in the road rout. The fourth-year guard has delivered at least 13 points in 12 straight games, averaging 18.5 points, 6.7 assists, 4.8 boards, 2.9 threes and 1.6 steals over that stretch while shooting 42.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Melton produced 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 win over the Nets.

The 27-year-old wing fell one board short of his first double-double of the season. Melton has been busy defensively lately, snatching seven steals over the last two games, and over 14 games since the All-Star break, he's averaging 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.6 threes in 25.1 minutes.

Podziemski notched 22 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 victory over the Nets.

Making his 15th straight start in place of Stephen Curry (knee), Podziemski scored 20-plus points for the second straight game and the sixth time in 13 March contests. On the month, the third-year guard is averaging 16.9 points, 6.1 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 0.9 steals in 33.5 minutes.

Williams chipped in seven points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.

Williams was playing just his second game since missing multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, and he had a rough performance against one of the league's best defenses. Williams was coming off an 18-point performance in the win over the 76ers on Monday, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about one subpar game. Williams needs to shake off the rust and be as healthy as possible with the playoffs right around the corner. During that ramp-up process, he should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense, giving him a decent floor on most slates.

Dort racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.

Dort didn't stand out for the Thunder, but his three-point shooting was worth highlighting. Even though he's going to take on a secondary role offensively every night, Dort could still generate value as a spot-up shooter from three-point range. Dort has drained two or more threes in five of his last eight games, although he's been far from efficient with a 29.8 percent mark in that span.

Santos logged 31 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 win over the Nets.

The 31 points were a career high for the third-year forward. Santos has scored in double digits in 16 of 18 games since the All-Star break, averaging 15.7 points, 5.8 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.8 threes-pointers and 1.3 steals in 32.2 minutes over that stretch. He should continue to get extended run for the remainder of the season while the Warriors move forward without Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee).

Saraf closed with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 loss to Golden State.

Getting a spot start in place of Nolan Traore (rest), Saraf tied his career high in assists while snapping a March shooting slump that had seen him go 0-for-18 on the month from three-point range. Saraf has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight games (two starts), averaging 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 boards and 1.6 steals in 26.6 minutes during that span.

Williams recorded 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six steals, two assists and one rebound across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 loss to Golden State.

The 19 points led the Nets on the night, while the six steals were a career high for Williams. The fifth-year forward has started six of the last seven games, although he hasn't played more than 25 minutes in any of those contests. Over that stretch, Williams has averaged 13.0 points, 2.3 boards, 2.1 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 50 percent from beyond the arc.

Nesmith ended Wednesday's 137-130 loss to the Lakers with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes.

Nesmith had a decent stat line based on his recent performances, but it's worth noting that he had a rough outing from three, nailing just 25 percent of his eight attempts. While the scoring has been down a bit, failing to surpass the 15-point mark in four of his last five games, Nesmith remains locked into major minutes when available. Plus, he's a reliable three-point shooter even if he struggled Wednesday, nailing 43.3 percent of his attempts from deep in that aforementioned five-game stretch.
