  • Jonathan Mogbo PF | TOR

    Raptors' Jonathan Mogbo: Makes impact on defense Sunday

    Mogbo supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and three steals in 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-98 loss to the Suns.

    Jakob Poeltl played only 17 minutes in the rout while no Toronto starter saw more than 27 minutes, and Mogbo took advantage of the extra run to set a new season high in steals. The second-year forward has played more than 10 minutes only twice in seven March appearances, and he hasn't scored 10-plus points in any of his 30 NBA games this season, making him tough to roster even as a DFS punt play.

  • Scottie Barnes PF | TOR

    Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Hits for team-high 17 in loss

    Barnes accumulated 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 loss to the Suns.

    The 17 points led the Raptors in a sluggish road performance. Barnes has scored at least 14 points in nine of 10 March contests despite a reduction in his shot volume, averaging 15.8 points, 5.7 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 threes on the month while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

  • Leaky Black SF | WAS

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Limited production in return

    Black (ankle) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 145-113 loss to the Knicks.

    A left ankle sprain kept Black from playing in each of the Wizards' last four games, but he was able to return to action Sunday to provide a boost to a Washington squad that was without nine players. Black ended up seeing the second-fewest minutes of anybody in the Wizards' nine-man rotation, finishing ahead of only Tristan Vukcevic (15 minutes), who exited the contest early due to back tightness. Washington will get Justin Champagnie back from suspension for Wednesday's game in Utah, and players such as Alex Sarr (toe) and Tre Johnson (foot) could be ready to return and might bump Black out of the rotation as a result. Black has limited availability due to his status as a two-way player and is eligible to play in nine of the Wizards' remaining 11 contests.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Stuffs stat sheet in win

    Hart ended with 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

    Hart returned to the lineup after missing Friday's loss to the Nets due to a right knee issue, and he went perfect from beyond the arc while delivering solid numbers in peripheral categories. Hart has missed three of New York's last six games, but he's been productive when available. Over nine March appearances, he's averaging 14.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Double-doubles off bench

    Robinson supplied 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 17 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

    Robinson made the most of his 17 minutes in this blowout win, posting his first double-double since March 13 while going perfect from the floor. Robinson has two double-doubles over his last four games, but his fantasy value is tied to his defensive production. He's posted four games with at least 10 boards and two blocks over that stretch. Robinson is averaging 6.6 points, 9.7 rebounds and a combined 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in 10 March appearances while shooting 78 percent from the floor.

  • Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 23 in blowout win Sunday

    Brunson produced 23 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

    Brunson could've ended with a better stat line had he logged more minutes, but there was no need to play him down the stretch as the Knicks were cruising to an easy win. The star floor general has failed to reach the 25-point game in back-to-back contests, something that hadn't happened since a three-game stretch between March 4 and March 8. Still, he's averaging 23.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game this month, so his role as the Knicks' go-to scoring and playmaking option isn't under any threat, although there will be times in which he'll cede the No. 1 role to Karl-Anthony Towns, like in this win.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Posts loaded line in loss

    Coulibaly closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.

    Coulibaly didn't have his best scoring performance, but he still delivered solid fantasy value by recording at least two tallies in each of the five major categories while logging under 30 minutes. The Frenchman has been a bit inconsistent in the scoring column, but that won't matter much if he delivers value elsewhere. Over his last six games, Coulibaly is averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 48.1 percent from three-point range.

  • Wizards' Bub Carrington: Struggles with three-point shot

    Carrington contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.

    Carrington has scored in double digits in his four appearances since returning to the starting lineup March 17, but he's been up and down with his three-point shooting over that span. The Pittsburgh standout, who's shooting a career-best 39.2 percent from deep in 2025-26, might be making 48 percent of his threes over that aforementioned four-game stretch, but in that span, he's gone 1-for-4 (vs. New York) and 1-for-6 (vs. Detroit) from beyond the arc. The numbers are strong on the surface, but the game-to-game performances are inconsistent, ultimately limiting his upside as a reliable long-range option.

  • Sharife Cooper PG | WAS

    Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Scores 11 in blowout loss

    Cooper closed Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 29 minutes.

    Cooper has held a steady role off the bench since the All-Star break, starting in just one of his 17 appearances in that span while averaging 17.1 minutes per game. Even though Cooper has scored in double digits in two of his last three outings, it's worth noting he's averaging just 7.3 points per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three since the beginning of March. Even with the uptick in playing time, Cooper doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal right now as a bench option for one of the worst teams in the NBA.

  • Derrick White SG | BOS

    Celtics' Derrick White: Scores 15 points in loss Sunday

    White posted 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

    White has failed to surpass the 15-point plateau in four of his last five games, and the veteran guard has experienced a bit of regression now that Jayson Tatum is entrenched as the No. 2 option on offense. White is averaging 18.5 points per game since the beginning of March while shooting 31.5 percent from deep across 11 appearances. For the sake of comparison, he averaged 21.3 points per game in his first six games this month as opposed to 15.2 in the last five.
