Jackson ended Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers with nine points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes.

With so many regulars sitting for the Bucks, Jackson saw extended run for the season finale. Jackson appeared in 48 games with averages of 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per contest. The Bucks hold a $2.41 million team option for 2026-27.

Dieng supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers.

Following his trade from the Thunder, Dieng immediately became more involved for the rebuilding Bucks. Across 30 games with his new team, Dieng played 26.8 minutes per contest with 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers on 42.3 percent shooting from the field. He could have a sizable role next season depending on what happens with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee).

Prince amassed 14 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the 76ers.

A neck injury robbed Prince of a huge chunk of the season, limiting him to 26 regular-season contests. He averaged 23.5 minutes per game to go with 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.3 three-pointers on 45.0 percent shooting from the field. Prince holds a $3.82 million player option for 2026-27.

Bryant closed Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Nuggets with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 30 minutes.

The rookie took advantage of the expanded playing time and posted a solid line despite struggling massively with his three-point shooting. Don't expect Bryant to be much of a factor in the playoffs, though. He averaged 4.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 71 appearances during the regular season while logging 11.5 minutes per contest.

Fox closed with 24 points (8-21 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Fox handled a steady workload in the regular-season finale and posted a strong fantasy line even when considering his lack of efficiency from the field. Fox averaged 18.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in 72 regular-season appearances. His numbers took a hit compared to the 2024-25 campaign, but that's due to the emergence of the young talent surrounding him, such as MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama (ribs), Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper (thumb). Still, Fox should operate as the Spurs' No. 2 option on offense in the playoffs.

Roddy notched 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 win over the Spurs.

Roddy was one of several Denver players who enjoyed an uptick in playing time in the final days of the regular season due to the rest of several regulars. He took advantage of the opportunity by racking up 36 points, 15 rebounds, three steals and two assists in back-to-back wins over the Thunder and Spurs. Even though his performances were impressive, he's not expected to see regular playing time for Denver in the playoffs.

Thompson provided 18 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

With most of Indiana's regular rotation on the shelf, Thompson saw a ton of minutes to close out the regular season. Thompson ended his rookie campaign with 32 NBA appearances under his belt, posting averages of 7.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.4 minutes per contest.

Strawther notched 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 win over San Antonio.

Strawther made a strong case to be considered for playing time in the postseason after scoring 22 points against the Thunder and 25 against the Spurs on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Strawther should return to his regular bench in the playoffs, though. He ends the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while starting in 14 of his 57 appearances.

Jokic amassed 23 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 18 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 victory over San Antonio.

Jokic suited up Sunday to reach the 65-game threshold required to be eligible for end-of-season awards. In dominant fashion, and to prove a point regarding his eligibility, he needed less than 20 minutes to surpass the 20-point mark, ending just two boards shy of a double-double. Jokic was one of the most dominant players in the NBA during the regular season, both in fantasy and in real life, after averaging 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game. This was the second consecutive season he averaged a triple-double.

Jones supplied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and four assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to Detroit.

Jones had some injury setbacks to open the season, limiting him to 37 NBA appearances overall. He was never close to the standard-league fantasy radar, averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers in 16.7 minutes per contest.
