  • Kawhi Leonard SF | TOR

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Game-high 28 points in win

    Leonard logged 28 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 123-120 win over the Grizzlies.

    After dropping 30 points in 37 minutes during Friday's loss to the Spurs, Leonard put together another productive outing Saturday. While the star forward got to the charity stripe often and was efficient from the field, he did struggle from beyond the arc and has shot just 1-for-9 from downtown in his last two outings. On a more positive note, Leonard tallied multiple steals for the third time in the last four games and has at least one swipe in each of his last six appearances.

  • Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Double-doubles off bench

    Mathurin posted 21 points (6-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during the Clippers' 123-120 win over the Grizzlies on Saturday.

    Mathurin's struggles from beyond the arc continued Saturday, and he's now gone 1-for-18 from three-point range over his last six outings. However, the fourth-year pro more than made up for it at the charity stripe and also finished as the Clippers' second-leading rebounder en route to his second double-double of the season. Since being acquired by the Clippers from the Pacers in early February, Mathurin has averaged 18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals over 29.3 minutes per game.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Stuffs stat sheet in win

    Antetokounmpo supplied 27 points (9-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-15 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over the Jazz

    Antetokounmpo turned in an efficient performance from the field en route to a game-high 27 points, and he has reached the 20-point threshold in back-to-back outings. However, the two-time MVP struggled from the charity stripe yet again, and he has shot 13-for-23 from the free-throw line in his last two games. On a more positive note, he set a season high in steals and was one of three Bucks players to dish out at least eight assists. Antetokounmpo is still on a minutes restriction, and he has averaged 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 26.0 minutes per tilt in three March appearances following a 15-game absence due to a calf strain.

  • Julius Randle PF | BKN

    Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Just misses double-double in loss

    Randle ended with 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 119-92 loss to Orlando.

    The veteran forward came up one board short of his 16th double-double of the season. Randle has pulled down at least eight rebounds in seven of the last 12 games, averaging 18.0 points, 7.5 boards, 4.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 threes over that span.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Game-high 34 not enough Saturday

    Edwards totaled 34 points (8-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 13-14 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 119-92 loss to the Magic.

    The 34 points led all scorers on the afternoon, but only three other Timberwolves even scored in double digits. Edwards has drained multiple three-pointers in 10 straight games, averaging 29.5 points, 4.8 boards, 4.3 threes, 3.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks over that blistering stretch.

  • Paolo Banchero PF | ORL

    Magic's Paolo Banchero: Big double-double in Saturday's win

    Banchero supplied 25 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 119-92 win over the Timberwolves.

    It was Banchero's 21st double-double of the season and fifth in the last eight games. He led all players in rebounds, finishing one board shy of tying his season high. Over the last eight games, the fourth-year forward is averaging 24.9 points, 10.3 boards, 6.0 assists and 0.8 threes.

  • Desmond Bane SG | ORL

    Magic's Desmond Bane: Pours in team-high 30 in win

    Bane accumulated 30 points (10-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-92 win over the Timberwolves.

    It's the fifth time in the last 10 games that Bane has delivered at least 30 points. The 27-year-old wing has been on fire over that stretch, during which he has averaged 25.6 points, 3.9 boards, 3.9 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor and 50.8 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nets' Michael Porter: Double-doubles in win

    Porter tallied 30 points (10-25 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 39 minutes in Saturday's 107-105 win over the Pistons.

    After posting a 27-point, 13-rebound double-double in Thursday's loss to Miami, Porter secured his second consecutive double-double and 12th of the campaign. The 28-year-old forward led all players in scoring, reaching the 30-point threshold for the first time since Jan. 29. He has now supplied at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in three of his last four outings, averaging 23.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.0 minutes per game during that span.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Stuck in reserve role

    Landale finished Saturday's 125-116 win over Philadelphia with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes.

    With Onyeka Okongwu healthy, Landale is producing quality numbers on a per-minute basis but has his fantasy upside capped in a limited role off the bench. Landale has averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.9 minutes per contest over his last six games, shooting 41.2 percent from long distance during this span.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Another muted performance

    Risacher amassed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 victory over the 76ers.

    The 2024 No. 1 overall pick continues to come along very slowly for the Hawks, as he's now scored in single digits in six of his last seven games. CJ McCollum recently replaced Risacher in the starting lineup, and the latter is continuing to trend down from a fantasy perspective. Over his last seven contests, Risacher has averaged 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.1 minutes per game while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field.
