  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Passive performance Monday

    Landale supplied eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over Orlando.

    Landale was subdued once again, having now scored double digits only once in the past six games. During that time, he has averaged just 6.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, despite serving as the primary backup behind Onyeka Okongwu. For those in standard formats, Landale should not even be on the radar at this point.

  • Goga Bitadze C | ORL

    Magic's Goga Bitadze: Muted role continues

    Bitadze closed Monday's 124-112 loss to Atlanta with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist over five minutes.

    Bitadze continues to serve as the third-string center, having seen the court only six times in the past 12 games. During that time, he has averaged just 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Stays hot in loss

    Marshall totaled 32 points (12-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 129-111 loss to New Orleans.

    Marshall certainly did his part in this one by leading the Mavs in scoring while finishing second on his club in both rebounds and assists. It's fair to categorize this two-day stretch as a major success for the Xavier product, who cruised to a 25-point showing Sunday against Cleveland. Marshall was averaging 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in his first six games of March heading into this back-to-back set, so it's reassuring to see him find his groove, especially while playing alongside other key contributors such as Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Efficient scoring in loss

    Coulibaly ended with 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.

    Coulibaly was efficient in his scoring effort, shooting 70 percent from the field while knocking down both of his three-point attempts. Not typically known for his outside shooting, the young forward has now converted multiple threes in three straight games for the first time this season. In addition to his scoring contributions, Coulibaly's eight rebounds Monday marked his highest total since Jan. 29.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Limited production Monday

    Da Silva ended with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

    Despite continuing to play a sizeable role, da Silva was unable to maintain his recent production. In fact, this was arguably his worst performance in the past month, during which he has managed to put up top-40 value in standard leagues. In 14 appearances over that time, he has averaged 12.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers. Despite this effort, he is worth holding for the time being, at least while Anthony Black (abdomen) and Franz Wagner (ankle) are sidelined.

  • Derrick White SG | BOS

    Celtics' Derrick White: Nails five triples Monday

    White finished Monday's 120-112 win over Phoenix with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block over 29 minutes.

    White did most of his scoring damage in the second quarter with 16 points (including four three-pointers) and finished tied with Jayson Tatum for the second-most points on the Celtics behind Jaylen Brown (41). It was the second time since Feb. 1 that White played less than 30 minutes as he found himself in foul trouble, but he still put together a solid stat line. He has averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.2 minutes per game since March 1.

  • Jamal Cain SF | ORL

    Magic's Jamal Cain: Sticks in rotation Monday

    Cain provided two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

    After logging 19 minutes and producing 12 points, seven rebounds and one block in the Magic's previous game Saturday in Miami, Cain remained in the rotation for the second straight contest. The two-way player hasn't been a factor for the Magic for much of the season, but Cain appears to have at least temporarily gained the trust of head coach Jamahl Mosley. Cain could see his minor role in the rotation disappear once the likes of Anthony Black (abdomen) and Franz Wagner (ankle) return to action, however.

  • Will Riley SF | WAS

    Wizards' Will Riley: Knocks down four threes

    Riley finished with 21 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds over 39 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.

    Riley bounced back from a pair of single-digit scoring efforts over his previous two games with a 21-point performance. Monday marked the rookie's fourth 20-point outing of the year, as well as the fourth time he's connected on four triples in a game. After not seeing consistent playing time to open the campaign, Riley has emerged as a consistent contributor down the stretch for the Wizards, logging 25-plus minutes in each of his past 12 appearances.

  • Matas Buzelis SF | CHI

    Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Delivers 29 points in victory

    Buzelis finished with 29 points (12-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 32 minutes during Monday's 132-107 win over Memphis.

    Buzelis continues to let it fly from beyond the arc and has now attempted double-digit triples in four straight matchups. He hasn't been particularly effective from deep during this stretch, but he has managed to drill five treys on two separate occasions. Buzelis also responded well after failing to record a defensive stat in his previous appearance by swatting three shots Monday, marking the second time he's done so through seven March showings.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Scoring outburst not enough

    Booker recorded 40 points (15-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one block over 37 minutes during the Suns' 120-112 loss to the Celtics on Monday.

    Booker carried the Suns' offensively during Monday's loss, with 29 of his team-high 40 points occurring over the second and third quarters, though he scored just five points in the fourth as the Celtics' defense shifted their focus to the superstar guard. Booker has scored 37 or more points in five of 10 appearances in Boston, including his 70-point explosion during the 2017-18 season. He has tallied at least 30 points in five of his last six outings, and over that span he has averaged 33.8 points, 5.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 threes and 0.7 steals over 35.0 minutes per game.
