Rasheer Fleming PF | PHO
Suns' Rasheer Fleming: Plays season-high 29 minutes
Fleming produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 win over the Raptors.
The 29 minutes were a season high for Fleming, who scored in double figures for the first time in his last eight games. Fleming has averaged 6.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.1 minutes per contest in his last eight games, shooting 44.0 percent from deep.

Suns' Jamaree Bouyea: Sees garbage-time action
Bouyea finished with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 victory over the Raptors.
Sunday's contest got out of hand relatively quickly, allowing Bouyea to log his most minutes since Feb. 24. It was the first time the guard played double-digit minutes since the beginning of March as well, suggesting Bouyea is not a significant part of the rotation for now.

Mikal Bridges SG | NY
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Notches 14 points in win
Bridges accumulated 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and six assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 win over Washington.
The Knicks handled business early, so Bridges was the only starter to reach 30 minutes in this blowout. Through 72 games, he's averaging 14.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.9 three-pointers.

Khaman Maluach C | PHO
Suns' Khaman Maluach: Pulls down seven boards off bench
Maluach accumulated seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 victory over the Raptors.
Until Mark Williams (foot) is cleared to make his return to the floor, Maluach has a clear path to the No. 2 center gig behind Oso Ighodaro but is struggling for fantasy relevance. Across his past five appearances, Maluach has averaged 3.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 14.3 minutes per game.

Jordan Goodwin SG | PHO
Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Productive in start
Goodwin recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 win over the Raptors.
Goodwin has now drawn three consecutive starts for the Suns amid the absence of Royce O'Neale (knee), and the former should continue to do so until O'Neale is healthy. Over his last five appearances, Goodwin has averaged 7.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 26.9 minutes per game.

Jaden Hardy SG | WAS
Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Strong line off bench
Hardy logged 25 points (9-18 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
This game was over in a hurry, so Hardy was able to take advantage of some garbage time. He's trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 13.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest.

Cody Williams SF | UTA
Jazz's Cody Williams: Downgraded to doubtful
Williams (shoulder) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Right shoulder soreness is likely to result in Williams' first absence since the Jan. 28 loss to the Warriors. With the swingman expected to be out Monday, John Konchar and Bez Mbeng should help soak up extra minutes.

Collin Murray-Boyles PF | TOR
Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Listed as questionable
Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Monday's game against Utah.
The rookie has missed the past 11 games for Toronto, but he's considered day-to-day. He could see a sizable role if he's cleared to play Monday due to Jakob Poeltl (back) and Immanuel Quickley (foot) both being sidelined.

Jakob Poeltl C | TOR
Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Sitting out Monday
Poeltl (back) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Monday is the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set, and Poeltl is getting the night off for lower-back injury management. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) questionable to play, the Raptors could need Sandro Mamukelashvili to play a featured role at center.
-
Immanuel Quickley PG | TOR
Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Out with foot issue
Quickley (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so this absence may be maintenance-related. During Sunday's loss to the Suns, he finished with 11 points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes. Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter could see increased reps with Quickley on the shelf.
