  • Quentin Grimes SG | PHI

    76ers' Quentin Grimes: Scores season-high 31 points

    Grimes chipped in 31 points (11-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    The 76ers were without star players Tyrese Maxey (finger), Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension), but Grimes stepped up and not only carried Philadelphia to victory, but he posted a season-high mark in scoring. Grimes has scored 20-plus points in four of his last six appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

  • VJ Edgecombe SG | PHI

    76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Posts double-double

    Edgecombe finished Sunday's 109-103 win over the Trail Blazers with 18 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 35 minutes.

    Edgecombe continues to produce as a clear-cut starter in the 76ers' backcourt despite being a rookie, and the former Baylor standout left his mark on both ends of the court Sunday. This was his first double-double since a 19-point, 10-rebound effort against the Lakers on Feb. 5, and he's surpassed the 15-point mark in eight of his 11 contests since the All-Star break. Over that stretch, Edgecombe is averaging a solid line of 17.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

  • Jerami Grant PF | POR

    Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Bounces back Sunday

    Grant closed Sunday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers with 20 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes.

    Grant bounced back from the nine-point dud he posted in the win over the Jazz on Friday, and the veteran forward has been productive for the Trail Blazers of late. Grant has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances and across nine of his previous 11. Over that 11-game stretch, the veteran is averaging 20.1 points per game while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 45.7 percent from three-point range.

  • Deni Avdija SG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Scores 25 points

    Avdija recorded 25 points (7-19 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 loss to Philadelphia.

    Avdija posted his best scoring mark since the All-Star break, and he's slowly looking better and better with each passing game after he missed six consecutive contests between Feb. 24 and March 6 due to a back injury. Avdija is having a career-best season with averages of 24.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game in 2025-26, but those numbers have regressed to 16.2 points, 4.8 boards and 7.5 dimes per game since the break.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Pulls down 15 boards in loss

    Clingan finished Sunday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers with 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 28 minutes.

    Clingan's shooting percentages remain subpar for a big man, as he's made just 46.3 percent of his field goals in seven outings since the beginning of March. However, he's going to remain valuable in fantasy as long as he can crash the boards and be a disruptive presence on defense. While Clingan might be better suited to make a bigger impact in category-based leagues, he's still worthy of a roster spot across all formats. He's averaging 13.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.6 blocks per game in seven March appearances.

  • Gui Santos SF | GS

    Warriors' Gui Santos: Scores 20 points in loss

    Santos notched 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.

    Santos came close to matching his season-best scoring mark of 22 points, established March 7 in a loss to the Thunder, and the Brazilian forward continues to leave his mark in an expanded role for the shorthanded Warriors. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his 12 games since the All-Star break, averaging 15.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 33.3 minutes per game. Santos is certainly making the most of his opportunity, but he could return to a bench role when the Warriors get healthier.

  • Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Scores 25 points once again

    Podziemski chipped in 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.

    Podziemski was coming off a 25-point effort in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves, and he continues to put up excellent numbers since moving into a starting role. He has started the Warriors' last nine games dating back to Feb. 25, and he's averaging a robust line of 18.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game over that stretch while shooting 38.5 percent from beyond the arc. As long as Stephen Curry (knee) remains sidelined, Podziemski should maintain elevated usage.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Scores career-high 22 points

    Post had 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.

    With the Warriors extremely shorthanded, Post returned to the starting lineup Sunday after coming off the bench in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. Even though he had the assignment of dealing with Karl-Anthony Towns, who posted a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double, Post still had a strong scoring line and delivered a new career-high mark in points while hitting the 20-point threshold for the first time this season. Post has scored in double digits in his last five starts. He could be a player worth keeping close tabs on, although his playing time will be tied to the availability of Draymond Green (back), Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (calf).

  • Killian Hayes PG | SAC

    Kings' Killian Hayes: Drops season-high 16 Sunday

    Hayes chipped in 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over Utah.

    The 16 points were a season high for Hayes, who didn't make his season debut in the NBA until after the All-Star break. The 24-year-old guard has started two of the last three games in an injury-depleted Kings backcourt, scoring in double digits each time, but his minutes are contingent on the health of players like Russell Westbrook (foot) and Malik Monk (ankle).

  • Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Can't shake off shooting woes

    Bridges had seven points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 victory over the Warriors.

    Bridges' shooting woes are becoming worrisome, as this was the sixth straight game in which the veteran forward failed to reach the 15-point mark, as well as the fifth time over that stretch in which he scored in single digits. Bridges is averaging just 6.5 points per contest while shooting a woeful 32.0 percent from the floor and 20.8 percent from three during this recent slump.
