Luka Doncic PG | LAL
Lakers' Luka Doncic: Strikes for game-high 28 in win
Doncic recorded 28 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 victory over the Kings.
The 27-year-old superstar led all scorers on the night while falling one dime short of his 28th double-double of the season. Doncic has topped 20 points in six straight games since returning from a hamstring strain that cost him the final four contests before the All-Star break, and over that stretch, he's averaging 30.0 points, 9.0 assists, 6.5 boards, 4.7 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 47.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Nikola Vucevic C | BOS
Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Second straight double-double
Vucevic chipped in 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds and one block across 21 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 victory over the 76ers.
It's not surprising to see Vucevic record double-doubles in back-to-back games -- what's more impressive is that he's done it coming off the bench both times. It's unclear if Vucevic will move into the starting lineup at any point this season, but the veteran big man is finding ways to remain productive regardless of his role. Since making his debut with the Celtics on Feb. 6, Vucevic is averaging 12.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 blocks in 23.8 minutes per game across nine outings off the bench.

Maxime Raynaud C | SAC
Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Double-double in loss to Lakers
Raynaud had 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Lakers.
The rookie center delivered his 12th double-double of the season, with five of them coming in the last eight games. Over that stretch, Raynaud is averaging 15.0 points, 11.1 boards and 1.8 assists in 31.6 minutes, and his spot in the starting five seems secure with the Kings focused on improving their draft lottery odds and Domantas Sabonis (knee) done for the season.

Jaylen Brown SF | BOS
Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Comes close to triple-double
Brown ended Sunday's 114-98 victory over Philadelphia with 27 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 38 minutes.
Brown carried the Celtics once again -- as he's done pretty much all season long -- while finishing just two boards and two assists away from posting a triple-double. The star forward continues to have a career-best season in 2025-26, averaging a loaded line of 26.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game since the All-Star break. He needs to do a better job taking care of the ball since he's averaging 3.6 turnovers over that span, but with Brown delivering elite numbers across all categories, he's posted first-round value across all formats. Fantasy managers will live with that amount of turnovers as long as he continues to produce at this rate.

Nique Clifford SG | SAC
Kings' Nique Clifford: Drops team-high 26 in loss
Clifford notched 26 points (11-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 42 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Lakers.
Making his second straight start in place of Keegan Murray (ankle), Clifford led the Kings in scoring while seeing a career-high workload. The rookie wing has averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 threes in 12 games as a starter this season, and with Murray out until at least mid-March -- and maybe longer, with Sacramento in full tank mode -- Clifford's fantasy value is headed up.

Jordan Miller SG | LAC
Clippers' Jordan Miller: Strong showing from second unit
Miller supplied 19 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-11 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 32 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 137-117 victory over New Orleans.
The 19 points were Miller's best scoring effort since Feb. 21, when he dropped 21 on the 76ers. The third-year guard has scored in double digits in four straight games as he takes on a bigger role in the Clippers' rotation, averaging 13.3 points, 3.5 assists, 1.8 boards and 1.0 steals in 26.0 minutes during that span. With Kris Dunn leaving Sunday's game in the fourth quarter after getting elbowed in the head, Miller's workload might be more secure in the short term if Dunn is forced to miss additional time.

Derrick White SG | BOS
Celtics' Derrick White: Drains five threes in win Sunday
White finished with 21 points (6-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 victory over the 76ers.
White didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still knocked down five threes -- his best output since Feb. 4 -- and reached the 20-point mark, a feat he's now accomplished in three of his last four appearances. Even though Jaylen Brown is set in stone as the Celtics' go-to option on offense, White has done a good job as a secondary scoring weapon. The veteran guard is averaging 17.4 points while hitting 42.2 percent of his threes over his last five appearances, making two or more three-pointers each time.

Brook Lopez C | LAC
Clippers' Brook Lopez: Drains four treys in Sunday's win
Lopez racked up 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 137-117 victory over the Pelicans.
The 37-year-old center put together his best performance from three-point range since Dec. 26, when he erupted for 31 points on 9-for-14 shooting from beyond the arc against Portland. Since rejoining the starting five after the trade deadline, Lopez is averaging 10.5 points, 4.9 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.6 threes, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in 29.7 minutes over the last 10 games.

Jamaree Bouyea PG | PHO
Suns' Jamaree Bouyea: Earns standard deal
Bouyea agreed Monday with the Suns on a two-year standard NBA contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Previously signed to a two-way deal for the Suns, Bouyea had limited eligibility remaining at the NBA level, but after being upgraded to a standard deal, he'll be available for the rest of the regular season as well as the playoffs. Across 33 appearances this season, Bouyea has averaged 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 15.5 minutes per contest. He'll likely continue to be part of the rotation until the Suns get Devin Booker (hip), Jordan Goodwin (calf) and Dillon Brooks (hand) back from injuries.

Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Posts team-high 23 in win
Leonard closed with 23 points (8-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 137-117 victory over the Pelicans.
The veteran forward missed Thursday's game due to a minor ankle issue, as well as feeling under the weather, but Leonard led the Clippers in scoring in his return to the court. He's having a remarkably consistent season, and not just from a health perspective. He's scored at least 20 points in 37 straight games dating back to Nov. 28. Since the beginning of February, Leonard is averaging 28.7 points, 6.8 boards, 4.4 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.7 steals over 11 contests.
