Moody was stretchered off the court during the overtime period of Monday's 137-131 win over the Mavericks after suffering a left knee injury, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports. He finished with 23 points (8-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes.

After stealing the ball from the Mavericks' Cooper Flagg, Moody dribbled the ball down the court and went up for a dunk attempt before his left knee appeared to buckle on him with 1:13 remaining in the game. After going down on the non-contact play, Moody remained on the court for several seconds while play continued before he was wheeled to the locker room at the next whistle. The Warriors should have more details on the extent of Moody's injury Tuesday after he undergoes further evaluation, but the fifth-year wing would appear to be at risk of an extended absence. The knee injury is a tough break for Moody, who had returned to the lineup Monday after missing the previous 10 games due to a right wrist sprain.

Kuminga produced 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 146-107 win over Memphis.

Kuminga was efficient with his shot and reached the 15-point mark for the second time in his last three appearances. The forward has started in just one of his eight appearances with the Hawks since being traded form the Warriors before the deadline, and his role, along with his inconsistent scoring, limit his fantasy upside considerably.

McCollum racked up 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 146-107 victory over the Grizzlies.

McCollum was one of four players who scored at least 15 points for the Hawks in this blowout win, and the veteran ended just one assist away from recording what would've been his first double-double of the season. The nine dimes were a season-high mark for McCollum, who also reached the 15-point mark for the fourth consecutive outing -- and the fifth over the Hawks' last six outings.

Okongwu had 16 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 146-107 win over the Grizzlies.

Okongwu was one of eight Atlanta players who scored in double digits in this win, and aside from filling the stat sheet, Okongwu was very efficient with his touches near the rim. The big man has scored at least 15 points in just two of his last five appearances, however, and with three single-digit scoring efforts in that span, the center's numbers are trending in the wrong direction.

Gafford won't return to Monday's game against the Warriors due to a right shoulder contusion. He finished with 20 points (8-8 FG, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes.

Gafford won't be available for the overtime period, which could prompt the Mavericks to lean more on Marvin Bagley or smaller lineups over the final five minutes. The Mavericks will likely provide an update on Gafford following the game, but he can be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's contest in Denver.

Burton notched 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 146-107 loss to Atlanta.

Burton posted an impressive performance off the bench in this blowout loss and ended just two rebounds shy of recording what would've been his first double-double of the season. Burton has scored in double digits in his last three appearances off the bench, so he might be a solid player to target as a waiver pickup and streaming alternative down the stretch, especially if the Grizzlies start to rest regulars more often. Burton's last three performances have shown promise.

Jackson closed with 26 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three rebounds across 30 minutes during Monday's 146-107 loss to the Hawks.

Jackson was coming off a 19-point output in the loss to Charlotte on Saturday, and the third-year veteran delivered an even better performance in this 39-point defeat. Jackson surpassed the 25-point mark just for the second time this season -- and first since Feb. 21. Jackson has scored in double digits in his 10 appearances in March, averaging 17.1 points per game in that stretch.

Jerome finished Monday's 146-107 loss to the Hawks with 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals over 24 minutes.

Jerome was one of the few standout players for the Grizzlies in this 39-point loss, chipping in with at least one tally in each of the five major categories and posting another impressive scoring performance. This was his sixth consecutive outing with at least 16 points, and while his availability has been inconsistent in recent weeks, he's a player to target across all formats every time he's cleared to play. Jerome is averaging 20.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game over that six-game stretch.

Miller registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over the Rockets.

Miller continues to turn heads, despite the fact that his playing time has subsided in recent games. He has now scored in double digits in seven straight games, putting up top-100 value during that time. With averages of 13.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers, he should at least be on the radar in standard leagues, although his overall upside is somewhat limited.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said that George won't require a ramp-up period and will be ready to play Wednesday against the Bulls after completing his 25-game suspension, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

George served the final game of his suspension in Monday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder and is now eligible to return to the court Wednesday for his first appearance since Jan. 29. Nurse appeared confident that George will hit the ground running, as he noted Monday that the star forward will essentially be a full go in his first game back. The Fresno State product was averaging 16.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 27 games before being slapped with a 25-game ban for violating the league's anti-drug program.
