Murray had 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 46 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime win over San Antonio.

The double-double was his 18th of the season as Murray extends his career high. The 29-year-old point guard has scored in double digits in 10 straight games, averaging 26.1 points, 7.5 assists, 4.9 boards and 4.1 threes over that stretch.

Braun accumulated 21 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime victory over the Spurs.

The fourth-year wing topped 20 points for the first time since March 18, when he hit for 26 points against the Grizzlies, while the five made three-pointers were a season high. Braun has scored in double digits in 12 of the last 13 contests, averaging 15.3 points, 4.7 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.6 threes over that span.

Jokic notched 40 points (13-25 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-15 FT), eight rebounds, 13 assists and three blocks in 44 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime win over San Antonio.

The 31-year-old won the duel of superstar centers, as Victor Wembanyama delivered 34 points, 18 boards, seven assists and five blocks in a losing effort. Jokic's double-double was his 53rd of the season, moving him into a tie for the league lead with Karl-Anthony Towns, and he has a seven-game double-double streak going in which he's produced five triple-doubles while averaging 25.9 points, 15.3 rebounds, 13.6 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks.

Castle provided 20 points (9-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and nine assists across 40 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 136-134 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

The second-year guard scored 20-plus points for the fourth time in the last five games while just missing his fourth double-digit assist performance during that stretch. Castle's hot streak has seen him average 19.6 points, 9.0 assists, 6.8 boards and 2.0 threes as he gears up for his first career postseason run.

Wembanyama posted 34 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-17 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

The third-year superstar led the Spurs in scoring en route to his 41st double-double of the season, but Wembanyama was just a little less productive than Nikola Jokic, who led all scorers on the afternoon with 40 points. Wemby has pulled down at least 15 boards in six straight appearances, all double-doubles, and over that stretch he's averaging a massive 30.7 points, 16.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.0 blocks, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals as San Antonio tries to chase down OKC for the top seed in the Western Conference.

Adebayo provided 14 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards.

It wasn't another 83-point eruption, but Adebayo let his teammates handle the scoring load this time around against Washington while coming within shouting distance of his ninth career triple-double. Adebayo saw his double-double streak snapped at five, and over his last 10 contests the 28-year-old center is averaging 21.0 points, 11.4 boards, 3.9 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.5 steals.

Wiggins finished Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards with 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

The veteran forward produced his best scoring effort since he dropped 28 points on the Grizzlies on Feb. 21. Wiggins has scored at least 12 points in six straight games, averaging 14.5 points, 4.0 boards, 2.8 threes, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks during that span.

Saraf (back tightness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Saraf was a late addition to the injury report, and the Nets may err on the side of caution. Nolan Traore and Tyson Etienne could see more minutes if Saraf is held out.

Ware supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks in 36 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards.

The double-double was the 24th of the season for the second-year center, and the points and boards were his best performances in those categories since a 28-19 effort against the Knicks on Dec. 21. The seven rejections also tied his career high, a mark he first set March 5 against the Nets. Ware has been locked in from long range over the last couple weeks, averaging 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.4 blocks in 20.0 minutes a contest while shooting 48.1 percent (13-for-27) from beyond the arc.

Jaquez totaled 32 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 victory over the Wizards.

The third-year wing set a new season high in points and led all scorers on the afternoon, taking advantage of the defensive attention Washington paid to Bam Adebayo after the center poured in 83 points the last time the two teams met. Jaquez has scored in double digits in six straight games as the engine of the Heat's second unit, averaging 19.0 points, 5.2 boards, 3.5 assists, and 1.8 threes in 26.7 minutes over that stretch.
