  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Stuffs stat sheet in loss

    Williams accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Williams has been a steady contributor off the bench for the Mavericks, and he's scored in double digits in all but one of his 17 appearances since the All-Star break. The bench role limits his upside a bit, but Williams can fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood, so he's a valuable option to target in most formats if he's available.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Nears double-double Monday

    Gafford ended with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Gafford was nearly perfect from the floor, but he would've had an even better scoring performance had he been more accurate from the charity stripe. Gafford looked impressive in his return from a two-game absence, and given that he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, he should remain a reliable fantasy asset in the final two weeks of the regular season.

  • Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Fills stat sheet in win

    DiVincenzo ended with 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 124-94 win over the Mavericks.

    DiVincenzo has drained exactly five three-pointers in three straight games. He has drained multiple threes in six games in a row, although he's failed to hit double-digit scoring twice in that stretch. DiVincenzo's ability as a reliable three-point shooter is huge for the Timberwolves, and his ability to stretch the floor is quite an asset while playing alongside players who command a ton of attention from opposing defenses, such as Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scores 17 points in return

    Edwards amassed 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes during Monday's 124-94 win over Dallas.

    Edwards didn't start Monday's game but checked in early in the first quarter, but since this was a blowout victory, he only played 23 minutes and posted a decent stat line. Edwards should recover his role as the Timberwolves' No. 1 option on offense as soon as Thursday when Minnesota takes on the Pistons in a tough matchup.

  • Julius Randle PF | BKN

    Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Leads Minnesota to victory

    Randle ended with 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 124-94 victory over the Mavericks.

    Even though Anthony Edwards returned in this win over the Mavs, Randle was the scoring leader for Minnesota once again. The veteran forward has scored over 20 points in just two of his last five appearances, and while he's a proven scoring threat, his numbers are expected to take a hit now that Edwards is back in the mix. Look for Randle to operate as the Timberwolves' No. 2 offensive option moving forward.

  • Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Goes for 15 points off bench

    Johnson provided 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 129-114 victory over the Bulls.

    Johnson has been relegated to being a bench scorer this season, but the veteran forward has filled that role to perfection. This was his fifth consecutive game with at least 15 points, and even though his bench role limits his upside a bit, Johnson often scores enough to remain a valuable fantasy asset across all formats. He's scored at least 15 points in seven of his 15 contests this month.

  • Spurs' Stephon Castle: Comes close to triple-double

    Castle ended with 21 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 129-114 victory over the Bulls.

    Castle was one of the Spurs' best players in this routine win over the Bulls, and the second-year guard continues to establish himself as a reliable scoring weapon in the backcourt. Castle finished just two boards shy of recording what would've been his second consecutive triple-double, a feat he's achieved twice already in March.

  • De'Aaron Fox PG | SA

    Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Struggles from field despite win

    Fox contributed seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Monday's 129-114 victory over Chicago.

    Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle led the Spurs in this routine 15-point win over the Bulls, so Fox's poor shooting and overall subpar showing didn't have much impact. Fox has been relegated to a secondary role in the Spurs' offensive scheme, but this was a new low for him. This seven-point output tied his second-worst scoring mark since the All-Star break, but considering he was averaging 17.9 points per game since the beginning of March heading into Monday's game, there's a strong chance this might have been nothing more than a down game for the veteran guard.

  • Matas Buzelis SF | CHI

    Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Poor shooting performance

    Buzelis finished with 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 129-114 loss to the Spurs.

    Buzelis took a huge step back compared to his recent performances, and this was one of his worst three-point shooting performances since the All-Star break. Buzelis has been struggling with his outside shot of late and has gone 5-for-23 from deep in his last three outings. That said, even if he struggles from deep, Buzelis does enough in other categories, and usually scores at a strong pace, so fantasy managers can overlook those problems and continue to trust him in fantasy playoffs.

  • Collin Sexton SG | LAL

    Bulls' Collin Sexton: Puts up 20 points

    Sexton finished Monday's 129-114 loss to the Spurs with 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

    Sexton continues to find ways to put up points even if he doesn't start regularly, and his scoring surge has been huge for managers who are trusting him down the stretch across all fantasy formats. Sexton is ending the regular season on a strong note and has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five outings while reaching the 25-point plateau twice in that span.
