  • Celtics' Charles Bassey: Signs another 10-day deal

    Bassey agreed to a second 10-day contract with Boston on Wednesday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

    During his first stint with Boston, Bassey made two garbage-time appearances and played four minutes in total. He'll continue to be an emergency depth option off the bench but is unlikely to be featured in head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation while Neemias Queta and Luka Garza are both available.

    Nets' Malachi Smith: Returns on another 10-day deal

    Smith agreed to a second 10-day contract with the Nets on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    During his initial 10-day stint with the Nets, Smith averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes while shooting 50 percent from the field across six appearances. He should continue to handle a depth role in the Brooklyn backcourt for at least the team's next five games.

  • Grayson Allen SG | PHO

    Suns' Grayson Allen: Returns to action with 21 points

    Allen (knee) chipped in 21 points (8-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    Allen was held out of the Suns' previous four games due to left knee injury management, and though he operated with a bit of a cap on his minutes in his return, the eight-year swingman was still able to provide fantasy managers with useful numbers in his return. Despite his strong showing Tuesday, Allen won't necessarily see a major uptick in his minutes moving forward, as Phoenix should soon get Dillon Brooks (hand) back from an extended absence and will need to find playing time for him.

  • Jalen Green SG | PHO

    Suns' Jalen Green: Makes impact with 21 points

    Green racked up 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    Since returning from injury, Green has delivered what was expected of him, with a productive tenure in Houston foretelling continued success. He's averaging 22.2 points per game in March, but he has shown immense upside with several games well above that number.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Misses potential game winner

    Booker posted 22 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    Booker's last-second three caromed off the rim, denying the Suns a much-needed victory. Despite the disappointing end, Booker led the Suns in scoring and received solid support from the rest of the first unit. The All-Star has averaged 28.0 points, 5.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds in March.

  • Aaron Gordon PF | DEN

    Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Goes for 16 points in narrow win

    Gordon provided 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 victory over the Suns.

    The Nuggets are still playing it safe with Gordon, who has seen 30-plus minutes only once since returning from a lengthy absence. His status for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks is up in the air, as he's missed a game during every back-to-back set post-injury.

  • Jamal Murray PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Posts 21 points in narrow win

    Murray chipped in 21 points (7-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, six assists and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 win over the Suns.

    Murray's shot was slightly off during the victory, but his volume was high enough to generate a decent number. Murray is in the midst of a very productive March, averaging 23.8 points, 6.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds over 13 games.

  • Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Pours in 18 points during win

    Hardaway registered 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 victory over Phoenix.

    Hardaway delivered another sharp bench performance thanks to continued success beyond the arc. After connecting on seven triples two games ago, Hardaway cooled down against Toronto but came soaring back with more shot volume Tuesday night. The veteran is on track for a career-high three-point conversion rate of 40.8 percent.

  • Keon Ellis SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Reduced role continues

    Ellis supplied two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 136-131 win over Orlando.

    Ellis played fewer than 25 minutes for the third time in the past four games, resulting in limited production on both ends of the floor. Despite his defensive upside, Ellis has now recorded just eight combined steals and blocks in his past five games while failing to score more than eight points in any one appearance. At best, he should be viewed as a defensive streaming option.

  • Sam Merrill SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Pours in 19 points Tuesday

    Merrill finished with 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 136-131 win over Orlando.

    Merrill scored at least 13 points for the fifth straight game, during which time he has been a top-50 player in standard fantasy formats, averaging 15.4 points and 2.6 three-pointers, shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the line. However, his overall appeal remains relatively limited, making him more of a streaming option than a must-roster player.
