Towns contributed 28 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 105-99 win over Chicago.

The double-double was his league-leading 39th of the season, and his ninth in the last 10 contests after he'd seen an eight-game streak ended in his first game after the All-Star break Saturday. Through nine February appearances, Towns is averaging 20.2 points, 11.6 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.2 steals while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor.

O'Neale finished Sunday's 92-77 loss to the Trail Blazers with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.

O'Neale was held scoreless for just the second time in 58 games this season. However, he managed to turn in a serviceable effort on the boards, racking up seven rebounds for a third straight game. O'Neale also made an impact defensively by recording at least one steal and one block for a second straight matchup.

Coffey ended with eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Coffey was unable to connect from beyond the arc but added eight points off the bench after being held scoreless in his last appearance Thursday against San Antonio. He also dished out a season-high four assists and tied his season best in steals. Coffey could remain part of the rotation until Grayson Allen (ankle) and Jordan Goodwin (calf) are cleared to return.

Gillespie closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Gillespie led the Suns with 18 points, but he didn't get much help from his teammates, as Jalen Green was the only other player to score in double figures. Gillespie continues to see steady playing time due to Devin Booker (hip) being sidelined. Gillespie has knocked down seven triples over his last two appearances.

Grant racked up 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 victory over the Suns.

Grant and Donovan Clingan led the offensive charge for Portland, as the duo combined for 46 of the club's 92 points. Grant found success from beyond the arc and knocked down 69.2 percent of his attempts from the field. Sunday's outing was a strong response from the 31-year-old after he was held to six points in 25 minutes Friday against Denver.

Clingan had 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 win over the Suns.

Clingan put together a stellar all-around showing, tying Jerami Grant for the team lead in points while pacing the Blazers in rebounds. Clingan has now scored 23 points in two of his last three matchups and has recorded five double-doubles in nine February appearances.

Bane recorded 36 points (13-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds, two steals and an assist in 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-109 win over the Clippers.

Bane continued his string of excellent play Sunday, posting a team-high 36 points on great efficiency. Although Bane spent the majority of the game draining buckets, his single assist came on a touchdown pass to Paolo Banchero with 40 seconds left, the score that ultimately gave them the victory. Bane has now scored 30-plus points in back-to-back games, and in three out of his last four contests overall.

Maxey recorded 39 points (16-28 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight assists, three rebounds, two steals and a block in 35 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 win over the Timberwolves.

Maxey did the majority of his scoring inside the three-point line Sunday, getting downhill and scoring efficiently at the rim. Perhaps his most notable bucket came in transition, where he shook a perimeter defender and threw down an emphatic left-handed dunk over Anthony Edwards. On top of his scoring display, Maxey posted a game-high eight assists. Sunday's outburst is a continuation of outstanding play for Maxey, who has scored at least 25 points in each of his last seven games, averaging 30.1 points, 6.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 steals in 35.8 minutes per game over that stretch.

Ball went for 37 points (12-20 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 win over the Wizards.

Ball caught fire Sunday, raining in a career-high 10 three-pointers, matching the Hornets' single-game franchise record. His historic performance was cemented on a string of heat checks, during which he connected on four threes in under 100 seconds of game time. His electric shooting performance was rounded out by eight rebounds and a game-high seven assists. Ball's scoring effort is a welcome sign for fantasy managers and Hornets fans alike, as he had averaged just 16.5 points per game on 35.2 percent from the field over his previous 16 games.

Siakam (hamstring) recorded 30 points (12-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 loss to the Mavericks.

The All-Star forward made his first appearance of the second half of the season, putting up at least 30 points for the 11th time in 2025-26. With a lost season for the Pacers slowly beginning to wind down, it's possible Siakam's availability will remain sporadic throughout the course of the stretch run. That said, he's locked in as Indiana's top scoring option, with Siakam averaging 24.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes per contest his last 11 games.
