Bryant amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Detroit.

Bryant has come off the bench in each of his 45 appearances this season and is averaging 10.8 minutes per game. He put together respectable numbers Tuesday and came through with his first outing with multiple three-pointers since Feb. 7. The veteran center could be called upon to take on a larger role after Jarrett Allen left in the third quarter due to a right knee injury, though Allen will have some extra time to recover before the Cavaliers' next game Sunday versus the Celtics.

Tyson had 22 points (8-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.

With Donovan Mitchell missing a fourth consecutive game due to a groin injury, Tyson stepped up with a team-high 22 points while connecting on five triples, his most in a game since Jan. 16 against the 76ers (seven). The second-year pro has done an admirable job in stepping into a larger role following his rookie season, when he averaged just 9.6 minutes per game while serving in a bench role. Tyson has averaged 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.5 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Williams posted 18 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Williams remained in the starting five for a third straight game and led all Dallas players in scoring, albeit in a blowout loss. While he wasn't extremely efficient from the field, the 26-year-old point guard got to the charity stripe often and finished with double-digit points for an eighth consecutive contest. Williams has provided a spark both in the starting five and off the bench recently, though he'll likely see fewer minutes once Cooper Flagg (foot) and Naji Marshall (finger) return to the lineup.

Powell recorded 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

With Marvin Bagley (neck) unavailable for a third straight game, Powell saw significant minutes off the bench once again. He led the second unit in points Tuesday, scoring in double figures for the second time over that three-game span. The veteran center is likely to continue seeing 20-plus minutes of action as Daniel Gafford's primary backup for as long as Bagley is sidelined.

Washington (ankle) chipped in 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Washington returned from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and immediately stepped back into the starting five. However, the 27-year-old forward struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end and didn't offer much in terms of peripheral numbers. The seventh-year player has appeared in four outings since the All-Star break, averaging 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 44 percent from the field in 32.8 minutes per contest during that period.

Edwards closed Tuesday's 117-110 win over Memphis with 41 points (15-29 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals over 37 minutes.

Edwards delivered a masterful performance on the offensive end, which was highlighted by seven made treys, his best mark in this category since Jan. 17 against San Antonio. He also produced on the opposite end of the court by recording a season-high five swipes. Edwards has had the Grizzlies' number this season, as he's averaging 37.7 points in three appearances against Memphis.

Miller amassed 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 win over Dallas.

Miller was unable to extend his streak of 20-plus-point performances to five, though he still led the Hornets in scoring while playing limited minutes during a blowout win. The third-year swingman also posted a game-high mark in blocks, supplying multiple swats for the 10th time this season. He has scored at least 17 points in nine straight games and at least 22 in four of his seven outings since the All-Star break.

Edey underwent surgery Tuesday to resolve discomfort and bone stress in his left ankle, and he'll miss the rest of the 2025-26 season.

Memphis announced Sunday that Edey would require surgery, but he wasn't officially ruled out for the rest of the season until after going under the knife Tuesday. The club expects the big man to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

James accumulated 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 win over the Mavericks.

With Coby White (calf) unavailable for the front end of this back-to-back set, James saw a bump in minutes and led the second unit in scoring. The rookie second-rounder also tied the team-best mark in rebounds, matching his career high. James will likely see fewer minutes when White returns to action, as the former has yet to log more than 20 minutes when White is available.

Giddey, who briefly exited Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City due to an ankle injury, noted after the matchup that he'll know more about the severity of the injury in the next day or so, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. He finished the game with 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two blocks over 33 minutes in the 116-108 loss.

Giddey went to the locker room during the second half to get evaluated, but he was quickly cleared to return for the fourth quarter. After the game, coach Billy Donovan stated that Giddey rolled his ankle and will be evaluated further Wednesday. The 23-year-old can be considered day-to-day until further notice.
