Nembhard (back) closed Sunday's 134-130 loss to the Mavericks with 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, 11 assists and one steal across 29 minutes.

After sitting out Friday's loss in Washington, Nembhard recorded his ninth double-double of the season Sunday. The last-place Pacers have limited his availability of late, but Nembhard has been quite effective when active for fantasy managers. Over his last 12 appearances, Nembhard has averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per game.

Turner (calf) recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 25 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 loss to the Raptors.

The veteran center was back in the starting five after missing the Bucks' prior two games -- one on each side of the All-Star break -- with a calf strain, and the lopsided score gave head coach Doc Rivers an excuse to give Turner a little less than his usual workload. Turner has struggled to make a consistent impact in his first season with Milwaukee, but he's drained at least one three-pointer in 16 straight appearances dating back to Jan. 4, averaging 13.7 points, 6.2 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 assists over that stretch.

Walker logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 loss to Dallas.

The last-place Pacers continue to reel in the standings, but they're getting promising results from Walker when he gets the chance to start. Walker has started 10 games since the start of the new year, averaging 17.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.3 minutes per game during this stretch. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle) both likely out until March, Walker remains close to a must-roster fantasy player in most formats.

Rollins closed with 21 points (6-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 loss to the Raptors.

The 21 points tied Kevin Porter for the team scoring lead, but only two other Bucks even scored in double digits. Rollins missed the last two games before the All-Star break with a foot issue, but he hasn't missed a beat since returning to action. The breakout guard has scored more than 20 points in six of seven February contests, averaging 22.4 points, 5.4 boards, 5.0 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.1 steals on the month.

Bagley had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 victory over the Pacers.

Despite playing behind the oft-injured Daniel Gafford on the depth chart, Bagley is holding down a significant role as the backup center since joining the Mavericks. The double-double was his second in a row, with Bagley averaging an efficient 11.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes per game across five contests with Dallas.

Porter produced 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 loss to the Raptors.

The double-double was the eighth of the season for Porter, as he creeps closer to the career-high 10 he recorded with the Rockets in 2021-22. The 25-year-old guard has looked good since returning to the starting lineup Feb. 6 after missing time with an oblique strain, averaging 21.2 points, 8.3 assists, 4.7 boards and 2.0 steals over the last six contests.

Middleton produced 25 points (11-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 win over the Pacers.

It was certainly Middleton's best effort since joining the Mavericks and perhaps his finest of the year altogether. The 25 points were a season high for the 34-year-old forward, whose seven dimes were also his most since Nov. 25 with the Wizards. Over his first four outings for Dallas, Middleton has averaged 16.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes per game.

Ingram closed with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 victory over the Bucks.

The Raptors' backcourt carried the scoring load in this one with Scottie Barnes (personal) away from the team, with Ingram and Immanuel Quickley combining for 54 points. Ingram has scored 20-plus points in 10 of the last 16 games, averaging 22.8 points, 4.9 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.2 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals over that span.

Washington contributed 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 victory over the Pacers.

Washington turned in his eighth 20-point effort of the season, also submitting a full stat line. As long as Cooper Flagg (foot) remains sidelined, more usage should continue to head Washington's direction. Over his past five appearances, Washington has averaged 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes per game.

Quickley closed Sunday's 122-94 win over Milwaukee with 32 points (11-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

The 32 points led all scorers on the afternoon and represented Quickley's best offensive effort since he erupted for 40 points against the Warriors on Jan. 20. The 26-year-old guard has scored in double digits in all seven February games so far, averaging 20.1 points, 5.7 assists, 3.4 threes, 3.3 boards and 1.4 steals.
