Jones posted six points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

The Bulls had nothing to play for in this contest, so the Bulls dialed back Jones' minutes. The veteran guard had a successful campaign in Chicago, posting averages of 14.1 points, 5.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per contest. In nine-category fantasy formats, Jones was a seventh-round value on a per-game basis.

Williams totaled 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to Dallas.

The 2020 first-rounder finished up another pretty disappointing campaign for the Bulls. Williams averaged 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 72 games (six starts) this season, shooting a career-low 37.2 percent from the field. Williams is under contract for 2026-27 and appears ticketed for a reserve role on the wing once more.

Quickley (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Quickley wasn't able to return to Sunday's game against the Nets due to right hamstring tightness, but an MRI revealed a mild strain. The Raptors are off until April 18 against the Cavaliers, and for the time being, he can be considered questionable for that contest.

Williamson logged 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to Houston.

Williamson helped soak up playing time for the Grizzlies on a pair of two-way deals in March and April. He averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.0 minutes per tilt through seven games this season, which could offer Williamson some attention this offseason for clubs in search of backcourt depth.

Small (thigh) ended with 18 points (7-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Rockets.

Small, who signed a two-year, two-way contract with Memphis last summer after going undrafted out of West Virginia, helped pick up the slack for the depleted Grizzlies down the stretch. The guard had missed the Grizzlies' previous four games due to a left thigh contusion but shed the injury tag ahead of the season finale. Overall, Small averaged 9.7 points, 3.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field over his 41 appearances for Memphis. Despite acquitting himself well when he was available, Small could face an uphill battle to earn a consistent role on a healthier Grizzlies club in 2026-27.

Gibson accumulated four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Rockets.

Gibson joined the Grizzlies late in the season as a locker room presence and emergency depth option. He totaled 10 appearances, posting averages of 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per contest.

Okani notched six points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to Houston.

After signing a 10-day deal April 3, Okani logged extended playing time for the injury plagued Grizzlies over the final six games of the season, averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 36.2 minutes per contest. He'll officially become an unrestricted free agent with his contract expiring Monday.

Mashack finished with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, 11 assists and two blocks over 38 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Rockets.

With so many injuries in Memphis, Mashack emerged as a key contributor down the stretch. In 31 total appearances, Mashack averaged 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per contest, shooting 39.5 percent from the field.

Oduro notched four points (2-2 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

After spending most of his time with the G League's Birmingham Squadron, Oduro was rewarded with a one-year, two-way contract with the Pelicans in March. He had been waived by New Orleans during training camp last year, so Oduro will likely be fighting for a contract opportunity this fall once again.

Alexander recorded 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

Alexander popped for a season-high 16 points Sunday, showing what he's capable of when given significant minutes. The two-way player signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans last summer and mostly played for the G League's Birmingham Squadron this year, so his next steps for 2026-27 are uncertain at this time.
