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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tatum finished with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to Minnesota.

Tatum struggled with his shot, but his lack of efficiency and rust can be attributed to not making his season debut until March 6 after recovering from a torn Achilles. He has settled as the No. 2 scoring option behind Jaylen Brown, but Tatum remains a productive player. The star forward should be a key contributor, even if he's not at 100 percent of his powers, because he can be a strong scoring force without being the No. 1 option on offense and is racking up rebounds at a high rate.

Brown finished Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves with 29 points (9-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes.

Brown didn't have his best shooting performance since he needed 26 shots to score 29 points, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the lack of efficiency if he continues to put up stats at this rate. This was Brown's fourth straight game with at least 29 points, and although he's shooting only 44.9 percent from the floor, he remains highly productive while still operating as Boston's go-to scoring weapon, even with Jayson Tatum back in the mix. For reference, Brown attempted 26 shots in this loss and has at least 20 shot attempts in five of his last six games, while Tatum is averaging 16.6 field goals per game in that same span.

Randle amassed nine points (3-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 victory over Boston.

Randle had one of his worst shooting performances of the season Sunday, and that resulted in his first single-digit scoring performance since a four-point performance (1-10 FG) in a win over the Clippers on Feb. 26. One bad game won't define Randle, and it shouldn't remove him from his role of being the team's go-to scoring weapon as long as Anthony Edwards (knee) remains out. Randle is still averaging 18.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in 12 outings since the beginning of March.

McDaniels finished Sunday's 102-92 victory over the Celtics with 19 points (8-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes.

Even though this was the third time McDaniels didn't record a steal or a block in his last seven contests, fantasy managers will live with that if it means a bigger role offensively. Over his last four games, McDaniels is averaging 17.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 blocks per game while shooting 38.9 percent from deep. He should continue to see elevated offensive usage until Anthony Edwards (knee) is cleared to suit up again.

Hyland recorded 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 victory over Boston.

Hyland has always had the capacity to score off the bench, but he seems to be taking his game to another level. He's scored at least 17 points in his last four appearances and has reached the 20-point plateau twice in that stretch, averaging 20.0 points per game and shooting 44.8 percent from deep. Hyland has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight contests, and the uptick in playing time is directly tied to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee).
