Richardson finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 139-87 loss to the Raptors.

Richardson couldn't find his rhythm Sunday, but he was shooting the ball well heading into the matchup. Across his last five outings, he's hitting 57.1 percent from the field, but he's getting just 10.9 minutes per contest, which keeps him off the fantasy radar.

Allen (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and Allen is likely to get a maintenance day for one of these. If the Suns hold out the sharpshooter Monday, the team could rely more on Jordan Goodwin with the second unit.

Banchero provided nine points (3-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 139-87 loss to Toronto.

The Magic were run out of the building in this one, yet Banchero still logged 30 minutes -- no other starter reached that mark. This was just a small setback for Banchero, as he's averaging 25.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.6 three-pointers over his last eight games.

The Pistons list Moore (two-way) as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Moore sat out the G League Motor City Cruise's regular-season finale Saturday against the Osceola Magic for what was believed to be right knee injury management in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but his health doesn't look like it will be a factor in whether he suits up for Detroit on Monday. Instead, the Pistons appear to be contemplating whether to make Moore available Monday in what would essentially be another back-to-back set for the fourth-year wing. Moore will likely rejoin Motor City for its playoff opener Tuesday versus Raptors 905, so even with Detroit listing five rotation players as out for Monday's game in Oklahoma City, the two-way player may not be asked to handle extended minutes in an effort to keep him fresh for Tuesday.

The Pistons recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Sunday.

Klintman has rarely been part of the Detroit rotation this season, but he could have a chance at seeing some meaningful minutes Monday in Oklahoma City while the Pistons have ruled out two key players (Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart) and are listing three more as doubtful (Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris and Duncan Robinson) and another as questionable (Ausar Thompson). After Monday's contest, Klintman could return to the G League to suit up for the Cruise in its playoff opener Tuesday versus Raptors 905.

The Hornets recalled Reeves from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

Though Charlotte assigned two players on its 15-man roster (Tidjane Salaun and Liam McNeeley) to the Swarm in advance of Tuesday's G League playoff opener versus the Maine Celtics, Reeves will wind up joining the parent club ahead of its next contest Tuesday in Brooklyn. A two-way player, Reeves has made just nine appearances for Charlotte this season while instead seeing the bulk of his action in the G League. Reeves is unlikely to be featured in the Charlotte rotation Tuesday but could see some garbage-time minutes if the heavily favored Hornets are able to turn the game into a runaway by the third or fourth quarter.

Traore supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 win over the Kings.

Traore was second only to Ochai Agbaji (18) in scoring Sunday. The rookie is averaging 10.1 points, 5.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers over his last seven games, but he's shooting an abysmal 29.6 percent from the field.

Powell logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 win over the Kings.

Powell and Nolan Traore combined for 33 points as the Nets improved to 18-57 on the season. Although this was a step in the right direction, Powell remains difficult to trust with averages of 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes over his last seven games.

The Hornets assigned Salaun (calf) to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

The 2024 first-round pick hasn't made an appearance for the Hornets or the Swarm since March 3 while on the mend from a left calf strain, but his assignment to the G League indicates that he'll likely practice with the affiliate Monday and potentially return to action in its playoff opener Tuesday versus the Maine Celtics. Salaun will likely rejoin the Hornets once the Swarm's playoff run comes to an end, but he's not expected to be a regular part of the rotation when Charlotte is at full strength.

Agbaji notched 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound across 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 victory over the Kings.

This was certainly an outlier performance from Agbaji, as the Nets continue to give different roles on almost a nightly basis. Over his last seven games, Agbaji is averaging 18.5 minutes with 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 38.6 percent shooting from the field.
