Barnes contributed nine points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Barnes has been very quiet in recent weeks, with the Spurs relying more on their young wings. Over his last 11 games, Barnes is averaging 21.2 minutes per contest with 7.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers on 49.1 percent shooting.

Powell (groin) said he will play Thursday against the Raptors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Powell returned from a four-game absence related to an illness Tuesday against the Raptors, scoring 14 points in 24 minutes off the bench. He's day-to-day with this groin issue, but he intends to play through it.

Clingan produced 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Spurs.

Clingan racked up his 35th double-double of the campaign in Wednesday's loss. With 75 games under his belt, he leads Portland in nine-category fantasy value with averages of 12.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per contest.

Henderson had 20 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Spurs.

For the fifth time this campaign, Henderson reached 20 points for the Trail Blazers. Across 28 total appearances, he holds averages of 14.4 points, 3.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers on 41.4 percent shooting from the field.

Maluach provided four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 win over Dallas.

Making his first NBA start, the rookie center didn't make much of an impression on offense, but the 19-year-old set a new career high in boards while swatting multiple shots for the fifth time in his last seven games. Maluach's minutes of late have largely depended on the availability of Mark Williams (foot), and with the Suns having locked up the seventh seed in the Western Conference and the top spot in the Play-In Tournament, the team may elect to shut Williams down for the final two games of the regular season and give Maluach a longer look.

Brooks logged 28 points (11-22 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 win over Dallas.

The 28 points represented Brooks' best performance in five games since returning from a fractured left hand that sidelined him for over a month. Since reclaiming a full workload in April, the 30-year-old forward is averaging 16.5 points, 3.3 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.0 steals over four games while shooting 42.9 percent (9-for-21) from long distance.

Booker logged 37 points (13-27 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 victory over the Mavericks.

The 29-year-old guard led all scorers on the night, producing at least 30 points for a third straight game and the ninth time in the last 15 contests. Over that latter stretch, Booker is averaging 29.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.6 boards and 2.1 threes.

Flagg racked up 11 points (4-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Suns.

Despite the rough shooting night, Flagg was able to record his 13th double-double of the season, and his fifth in the last 16 games. Over that stretch, the star teenager is averaging 23.8 points, 7.1 boards, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 threes as he attempts to fend off Kon Knueppel for the Rookie of the Year Award.

Bagley contributed 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Suns.

Making his first start since March 13, Bagley scored at least 20 points for the second straight game and the third time in his last four. With Daniel Gafford (shoulder) banged up, Bagley could keep his spot in the starting five over the final weekend of the regular season, and in 11 starts this season, he's averaged 13.3 points, 7.8 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.0 minutes while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor.

Poulakidas contributed 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Suns.

The undrafted rookie wing out of Yale had by far his best performance so far in the NBA, leading the Mavericks in scoring and setting new career highs in points and made three-pointers. Poulakidas has scored in double digits in just three of his 11 appearances for Dallas, but he could continue to get a showcase over the final two games of the regular season.
