Simons (wrist) will be re-evaluated in 10 days, the Bulls announced Monday.

Simons is making progress since suffering a wrist fracture back on Feb. 24. Based on this update, the earliest possible return for Simons would be March 27 against the Thunder. Meanwhile, Jaden Ivey (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week.

Prince notched 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 win over the Pacers.

This was a positive step for Prince as he continues to shake off the rust. He had been held scoreless in two of his previous three contests since returning to action March 10. If his minutes continue to trend up, Prince will soon find himself on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.

Barrett registered 27 points (11-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 victory over the Pistons.

Barrett has been on a heater in March. Over seven appearances in that span, he's shooting 60.0 percent from the field to go with averages of 23.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.7 minutes per contest.

Christie accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 win over the Cavaliers.

The Mavericks have had some volatile rotations due to injuries and rest days for veterans, but Christie has maintained a stable role. Over his last eight outings, he's averaging 27.6 minutes per contest with 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers on 35.2 percent shooting from the field.

Tshiebwe racked up nine points (3-5 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to Sacramento.

The Jazz are getting an extended look at the two-way player at the NBA level down the stretch. Tshiebwe has averaged 7.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists in 17.9 minutes per tilt in his last five games, shooting 57.7 percent from the field. With Jusuf Nurkic (nose), Walker Kessler (shoulder) and Jaren Jackson (knee) done for the year, Tshiebwe should continue pushing Kevin Love for the backup center role behind Kyle Filipowski.

Payne accumulated 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 win over Portland.

With Tyrese Maxey (finger) out for another several weeks, Payne should continue battling for minutes with Justin Edwards and Trendon Watford. Payne has averaged 15.2 points, 3.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes per tilt in his last five games, converting 46.9 percent of his three-point tries.

Wade posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and five rebounds across 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 loss to Dallas.

Wade remains a key part of Cleveland's rotation, but his fantasy upside is quite limited. Over his last five appearances, he's averaging 20.9 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists on 51.9 percent shooting from the field.

Barlow finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.

With Paul George still suspended until the March 25 matchup versus the Bulls, it looks like Barlow has a clear runway to a starting role for at least Philadelphia's next four games. Barlow has averaged 8.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 26.5 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

Joe supplied 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 win over Minnesota.

Joe continues to play a key role off the bench in Oklahoma City. Over his last six games, he ranks just inside the top-200 players for nine-category formats with averages of 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Camara notched seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers.

Camara continues to produce low-end fantasy value, but his role is centered more on defense for the Trail Blazers. The swingman has scored in single digits in five of his last seven outings, during which Camara has averaged 9.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 33.1 minutes per game while shooting a paltry 30.4 percent from the field.
