Henderson ended Sunday's 123-88 win over the Wizards with 21 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 25 minutes.

With Jerami Grant (calf) sidelined, Henderson made his fourth start of the campaign and made the most of his opportunity despite the limited workload -- the Trail Blazers put this game to bed early. Over his last eight appearances, Henderson holds averages of 14.4 points, 3.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per contest.

Cooper provided 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to Portland.

With the Wizards getting blown out of this contest, Cooper saw a decent workload off the bench. He's been getting decent run over his last eight games, during which he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Hardy (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Wizards' 123-88 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Though Washington ruled out seven players ahead of Sunday's contest, head coach Brian Keefe maintained a 10-man rotation, and Hardy ended up being the odd man out. Hardy had previously appeared in eight consecutive games, averaging 13.9 points, 3.4 three-pointers, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.4 minutes per contest over that stretch. The fourth-year wing should have a good chance at re-entering the rotation Monday against the Lakers, though the Wizards aren't expected to provide any clarity prior to the game regarding whether Hardy will play.

Thompson (ankle) was present at Monday's shootaround, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Thompson remains questionable on the official injury report, but his presence at shootaround is a good sign for his status. If he's ultimately held out, the Pistons could lean more on Javonte Green, Ronald Holland and Kevin Huerter.

Smith (coach's decision) went unused Sunday in the Heat's 135-118 loss to the Pacers.

After returning to the rotation for a brief three-game stretch earlier this month, Smith has now failed to get off the bench in four consecutive contests. With the Heat at close to full strength and rookie Kasparas Jakucionis having taken control of the top backup job at point guard, Smith's opportunities are likely to remain scarce over the final two weeks of the regular season.

Champagnie closed Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Trail Blazers with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes.

The Wizards were blown out of this contest, so Champagnie and several others in the second unit were given extended looks. Across his last four outings, Champagnie has averaged 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per contest.

Gill amassed eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Gill continues to play solid workloads for the Wizards, making him an option for deep-league fantasy managers. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 8.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks on 63.3 percent shooting in 25.3 minutes per contest.

Dick ended Sunday's 139-87 win over the Magic with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes.

Dick has been used sparingly in recent weeks, but he took advantage of some extra touches in this 52-point blowout win. Over his last six outings, he's averaging just 13.7 minutes per contest with 6.8 points, 1.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds on 40.0 percent shooting from the field.

Mamukelashvili finished Sunday's 139-87 win over the Magic with 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes.

Although he saw slightly fewer minutes than Jakob Poeltl, Mamukelashvili was the third-leading scorer in this contest for Toronto and made the most of his action. He's been excellent over his last seven games, posting averages of 14.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 20.5 minutes per contest.

Martin closed Sunday's 139-87 victory over the Magic with eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 13 minutes.

The Raptors won this game by 52 points, so naturally, the team was able to rely heavily on the bench down the stretch. Martin has just 18 appearances to his name this season with averages of 2.7 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.5 minutes per contest.
