Champagnie finished Thursday's 121-106 victory over Detroit with 16 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes.

Champagnie has had inconsistent scoring figures throughout the season, but he seems to be turning things around of late. Even though he holds a secondary role on the Spurs' offensive scheme, he's found a way to score in double digits in five of his last six games. Over that six-game stretch, Champagnie is averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting an impressive, and probably unsustainable, 52.6 percent from three-point range.

Castle finished with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), one rebound, 12 assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-106 victory over the Pistons.

Castle extended his streak of games with double-digit points to eight outings, averaging 15.5 points per game in that span, but he's also making big strides as a passer. He has three double-doubles with points and assists in that stretch. After averaging 14.7 points and 4.1 assists per game as a rookie in 2024-25, Castle has bested those numbers to 16.4 points and 6.9 dimes per contest as a sophomore. He's forming an excellent backcourt tandem next to De'Aaron Fox.

Fox recorded 29 points (12-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-106 win over the Pistons.

Victor Wembanyama led the way for the Spurs against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, but Fox made his presence felt as well, slowing down Cade Cunningham defensively and notching his best scoring output since Jan. 22, when he had 31 points in a win over the Jazz. Fox is averaging 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the All-Star break.

Eubanks closed Thursday's 133-123 loss to the Pelicans with 15 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench.

It was the first double-double of the season for Eubanks, and his first in the NBA since 2022-23. The journeyman center is getting a bigger look in the frontcourt rotation with Domantas Sabonis (knee) and De'Andre Hunter (eye) both done for the season. Eubanks has played double-digit minutes in three of the last four games, putting him on the radar as a punt play in DFS.

Westbrook contributed 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 loss to the Pelicans.

It was Westbrook's first double-double since Jan. 14, and his 14th of the season. The 37-year-old guard no longer produces at an MVP level, but he's scored in double digits in five straight games, averaging 19.2 points, 6.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 threes, and 1.4 steals in 29.0 minutes.

Achiuwa chipped in 29 points (12-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 loss to the Pelicans.

The 29 points led all scorers on the night, while the 12 boards led all rebounders. Achiuwa has seven double-doubles on the season, with four of them coming in the last eight games. During that stretch, he's averaging 17.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32.3 minutes while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor.

Bey ended Thursday's 133-123 win over the Kings with 20 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and one rebound in 33 minutes.

While he didn't do much other than score, Bey still supplied 12 or more points for a 12th straight game. Over that stretch, the fifth-year forward is averaging 21.3 points, 5.3 boards, 3.0 assists and 2.8 threes as he puts together a strong first season with the Pelicans.

Allen registered 21 points (6-19 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 105-103 loss to the Bulls.

Allen didn't appear to be particularly concerned with capping his opportunities on the offensive end, as he attempted double-digit triples for a third straight game. While he's shooting just 34.1 percent from beyond the arc during this stretch, he's also averaging 22.3 points per game, in large part due to his shot volume. Allen has come off the bench in five straight games for Phoenix and is averaging 21.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes per showing.

Murphy closed with 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 win over Sacramento.

The fifth-year wing has been locked in from long range since missing the first five games after the All-Star break due to a shoulder issue. Over three games since getting back onto the court, Murphy is averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 3.7 threes and 2.0 steals while shooting 47.8 percent (11-for-23) from beyond the arc.

Williamson logged 23 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 victory over the Kings.

The 23 points led the Pelicans on the night. Williamson has scored at least 20 points in seven straight games around a minor ankle issue that limited him to 11 minutes in a Feb. 28 win over the Jazz, and during those seven contests, the 25-year-old forward is averaging 24.4 points, 5.0 boards, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals.
