Landale finished with 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Sunday's 135-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Landale continues to excel as the backup center in Atlanta. Over his last six games, he's averaging 9.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 42.3 percent shooting in 18.9 minutes per contest.

Pickett (knee) recorded four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists over six minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves.

After suffering a right knee injury during the Nuggets' Feb. 11 win over the Grizzlies, Pickett ended up missing the team's first two games coming out of the All-Star break. He was cleared to play in each of the subsequent three games, but was left out of the rotation. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) leaving Sunday's contest early, Pickett got the chance to play some minutes, albeit very few. Johnson is likely to miss the second leg of the back-to-back set Monday in Utah, but Pickett shouldn't be expected to see enough playing time to make for an appealing streaming option.

Powell logged nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder.

Powell made the most of his 21-minute cameo Sunday and finished just one point and one rebound away from posting a double-double. That said, Powell has played off the bench in his last 12 appearances but is averaging only 10.7 minutes per contest. Even if his last two outings are encouraging, he's not seeing the floor enough to be considered a reliable fantasy alternative even in the deepest formats.

Williams finished with 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say Williams is perhaps going through his most prolific stretch of the season. He's scored in double digits in each of his last seven appearances, with five of those coming off the bench, and the numbers back him up. He's averaging 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per contest over that span while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from deep.

Christie ended Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder with 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes.

The Mavericks scored only 86 points as a team in this loss Sunday, but Christie was one of the few standout performers for Dallas. He's hit multiple threes in seven of his last 10 appearances since the beginning of February. Although he's shooting just 32.8 percent from deep in that span, he remains a decent fantasy contributor from a volume perspective. In that 10-game stretch, he's averaging 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest.

Wallace provided four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over Dallas.

Wallace has been trending in the wrong direction since putting up 27 points in a win over the Thunder on Feb. 24, and he's failed to surpass the 10-point threshold in his last two contests. Wallace should remain a decent fantasy option as long as he remains in a starting role, and that'll likely be the case until Jalen Williams (hamstring) is ready to play. Wallace is averaging 13.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game in 13 starts since the beginning of February.

Joe recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and five rebounds in 21 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over Dallas.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) back in action, Joe has come off the bench in the Thunder's last two games. While that reduces his fantasy appeal in most formats, he remains a player worth keeping close tabs on due to his ability to get hot at any minute. Joe has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game over that stretch.

Holmgren registered 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over the Mavericks.

Holmgren delivered a bounce-back performance on offense. This 19-point output was his best mark since he recorded 20 points in a win over the Pelicans on Jan. 27, and he finished just one board shy of posting what would've been a second straight double-double. Holmgren is averaging 14.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game since the All-Star break and should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as long as Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains on the shelf.

Drummond produced 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.

Drummond got the start Sunday due to the absence of Joel Embiid (oblique), and the veteran big man made his presence felt with his second double-double since the All-Star break. Drummond's playing time is directly tied to Embiid's availability, so while he can be a solid contributor in most formats when he gets enough playing time, he's a solid streaming option at best if Embiid is healthy in most games. Drummond is averaging 8.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game as a starter compared to 4.9 points and 6.5 boards per contest when coming off the bench.

Edgecombe registered 23 points (8-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to Boston.

Edgecombe needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but the rookie continues to show he has already adjusted well to life at the next level. Firmly entrenched in a starting role alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt, Edgecombe has scored at least 20 points in four of his six appearances since the All-Star break while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor. The subpar shooting display was simply an outlier.
