Holmgren racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 18 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers.

The Thunder ran away with this game early, resulting in smaller workloads for the key players. Holmgren has been terrific this season with averages of 16.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers.

Allen closed with 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 loss to the Hornets.

Allen has played exclusively off the bench since the All-Star break, but he's been extremely consistent, and he retains fantasy value despite the change in role. He has scored in double digits in every one of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 17.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals across 27.2 minutes per game.

Williams accumulated 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 victory over the Lakers.

Williams was held out of Monday's game against Detroit for injury management during the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he was back with the starters Thursday. His minutes were held in check, though it was mostly due to the lopsided score, with the Thunder winning by 43 points.

Brooks registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 29 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 loss to the Hornets.

Brooks returned to the lineup in the loss to the Magic on Tuesday, but he saw a bigger workload this time around and delivered a better stat line. The Suns are likely to be cautious with Brooks in the final weeks of the regular season, but the idea is to have him fully healthy and ready to go for the start of the playoffs in mid-April.

James logged 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 loss to Oklahoma City.

The Lakers were blown out of this contest, resulting in fewer minutes for James. It's worth mentioning that Luka Doncic tweaked his hamstring Thursday, meaning James could have more responsibilities going forward if Doncic is forced to miss time.

Booker chipped in 22 points (9-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 loss to Charlotte.

Booker reached the 22-point threshold for the sixth game in a row, and the star guard continues to be a consistent scoring option for the Suns. He is averaging 27.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.5 steals per game over his last 10 games.

Reaves posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 loss to the Thunder.

Reaves picked up a back injury in this contest, which forced him to the locker room in the second quarter, but he was able to finish out the game. However, his minutes were held in check by the lopsided score. Luka Doncic tweaked his hamstring Thursday, and if he misses time, Reaves may be asked to shoulder a lot more usage.

Mathurin closed Thursday's 118-99 loss to San Antonio with 18 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes off the bench.

After scoring just four points on 2-for-7 shooting in the Clippers' loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Mathurin bounced back to his usual level of production. The fourth-year wing has scored at least 16 points in 10 of his last 11 games, averaging 20.6 points, 5.4 boards, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch as a key part of the second unit.

Ball finished with 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 win over the Suns.

This was Ball's first double-double since March 17, and his second since the All-Star break, but the star guard continues to have a massive influence on offense for a rising Hornets team. Ball is averaging 20.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game since the All-Star break. Even if he has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last three outings, Ball should remain a reliable starter across all fantasy formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet.

Leonard produced 24 points (10-16 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 loss to San Antonio.

Leonard's 24 points led all scorers on the night, but only four other Clippers even managed to reach double digits. The veteran forward has delivered at least 20 points in a remarkable 53 straight games dating back to Nov. 28, a performance that has been overshadowed this season by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's own record-shattering streak, and over 20 games since the All-Star break, Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.2 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.6 steals while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor.
