Portland recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.

Hansen appeared in Rip City's wins over the Valley Suns on Friday and Saturday, totaling 36 points and 18 rebounds in those two outings. He hasn't logged double-digit minutes for the parent club since Jan. 27, a trend that is likely to continue Sunday versus the Pacers.

Kuzma amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over the Jazz.

Kuzma has responded well to the DNP-CD he received in Monday's blowout loss to the Celtics, scoring 16 points in the loss to the Hawks and 18 in this win over the Jazz. Kuzma is a proven scorer who should continue to produce if given enough minutes, but his upside will decrease a bit if he comes off the bench, which is likely to be the case now that Giannis Antetokounmpo seems fully recovered from his calf injury.

Dieng amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and nine assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over Utah.

Dieng has been a standout performer for the Bucks of late, and the versatile forward was just two rebounds and one assist away from recording a triple-double. Dieng has scored in double digits in each of his past three starts, and displays such as Saturday's will only strengthen his case to remain in the starting lineup.

Rollins produced 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 victory over the Jazz.

Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show with his 27-9-8 performance, Rollins also came close to posting a triple-double, falling short by just two assists. The floor general shot the ball poorly, but his ability to fill the stat sheet and contribute at both ends was impressive. Rollins has scored in double digits in eight of his nine outings since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's averaging 15.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per contest.

Filipowski amassed 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bucks.

Filipowski recorded a second consecutive double-double after his 20-point, 14-rebound effort against the Wizards on Thursday. The big man has been outstanding since returning to the starting lineup and has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous nine starts, averaging 14.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game over that stretch.

Williams closed with 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bucks.

The shooting and scoring woes have plagued Williams throughout his two-year career in the NBA -- even if his percentages have been better in his sophomore year -- and this loss Saturday was just another example of that. Williams did score in double digits for a second straight game, something he hadn't done since early February, and also posted the first double-double of his career, so there's a silver lining for the forward out of Colorado.

George finished with 22 points (4-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to Milwaukee.

George had a woeful shooting performance in this game, but the fact that he went 12-for-13 from the charity stripe salvaged his outing from a scoring perspective. The electric floor general was returning from a one-game absence after sitting out the win over the Wizards on Thursday, and this was the third straight game in which he recorded at least 20 points.

The Warriors plan to rest Porzingis (illness) in Utah on Monday and have him available for Tuesday's game against Chicago, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. He finished Saturday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder with nine points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 23 minutes.

Porzingis was expected to play 15-to-20 minutes in his return from a six-game absence due to an illness, though he saw increased playing time and led Golden State's second unit in points and assists. The Warriors are expected to hold the veteran center out of one game during their upcoming back-to-back set, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the club limit him in back-to-backs for the remainder of the season. It will also be worth monitoring whether his workload increases Tuesday.

Hendricks logged 18 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during the Grizzlies' 123-120 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.

Hendricks needed only eight shots to finish as the Grizzlies' second-leading scorer behind Ty Jerome (21 points) in Saturday's close loss. Hendricks also contributed on the other end of the floor with four combined steals-plus-blocks, and it was the first time this season that he finished with at least two blocks and two steals in the same game. Over his last six outings, Hendricks has averaged 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals over 25.1 minutes per game.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday's 104-97 win over the Warriors with 27 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 14-15 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 35 minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander didn't have his most efficient outing Saturday, though he made his lone triple when it mattered most, giving Oklahoma City a five-point lead with 43 seconds remaining. The reigning MVP has shot just 3-for-13 from beyond the arc in his last four appearances, though he has shot 92.7 percent from the charity stripe on 10.3 attempts per contest during that span. He'll look to reach the 20-point threshold for a 126th consecutive game Monday against the Nuggets, which would tie the NBA record set by Wilt Chamberlain.
