Nance produced six points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 22 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 win over the Pacers.

Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf) were given the night off for the front end of this back-to-back set, allowing Nance to pick up some backup center minutes behind Thomas Bryant. Nance has just three appearances to his name over the last two weeks for an average of 12.7 minutes per contest.

Bryant closed Sunday's 117-108 win over the Pacers with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes.

Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf) were given the night off for the front end of this back-to-back set, allowing Bryant to feature against his former team. If Allen and Mobley get the green light to return Monday against Memphis, Bryant's streaming appeal will take a massive hit.

Mitchell accumulated 38 points (16-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 win over the Pacers.

This was Mitchell's seventh game of the campaign with at least 38 points as the Cavaliers improved to 49-29 on the season. Over his last seven games, he's been a second-round value in nine-category formats with 26.1 points, 4.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 32.2 minutes per contest.

Toppin chipped in 21 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

Toppin played through a foot issue and took advantage of some extra touches and minutes with Pascal Siakam (ankle) being one of several Pacers sidelined. Toppin has been terrific in limited minutes over his last seven games with 13.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers per contest.

Potter provided 21 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to Cleveland.

Potter had a strong showing for the Pacers with multiple key players sitting out. He's generally a solid streaming option when that is the case. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging 11.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Slawson recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to Cleveland.

After sitting out his previous game for two-way eligibility, Slawson was in the starting group Sunday with multiple key players sitting out. Over his last four appearances, he's averaging 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 19.2 minutes per contest.

Gafford (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Gafford injured his right shoulder early in the fourth quarter and immediately exited toward the locker room in obvious pain. He will finish Sunday's game with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 20 minutes. The Mavericks will next play Tuesday versus the Clippers, and if Gafford can't suit up for that contest, Marvin Bagley should be considered the favorite to replace him in the starting lineup.

Rollins chipped in 24 points (10-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 win over Memphis.

Rollins returned from a two-game absence related to a hip strain, and he saw a major role for a Milwaukee team hammered by injuries. It's no surprise that he soaked up a ton of usage Sunday, but it will be interesting to see how involved he is for the final four games of the campaign.

Dieng closed with 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 victory over Memphis.

Dieng's shooting comes and goes, but he's making a strong impression on the coaching staff. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 39.8 percent shooting from the field.

Melton will start in Sunday's game against Houston, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Stephen Curry (knee) will return and play in his first game since Jan. 30. However, the multi-time All-Star will come off the bench, keeping Melton in the starting lineup for at least one more contest. Melton has started 20 times throughout the campaign, averaging 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.9 steals across 25.1 minutes.
