  • Jabari Smith PF | HOU

    Rockets' Jabari Smith: Secures rare double-double

    Smith posted 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 48 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

    Smith returned to double digits in the scoring column after being held to six points Monday against the Bulls. He was also highly effective on the boards, which helped him notch his first double-double since Feb. 11.

  • Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Sees 18 minutes in loss

    Tomlin had six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 loss to Miami.

    With Dean Wade (ankle) sitting out, Tomlin saw his largest workload since Feb. 4. He had played a combined 10 minutes in his previous two outings, so he remains miles off the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Drops 30 points in OT loss

    Sengun logged 30 points (12-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

    Sengun ended the night tied for the team lead in scoring with Kevin Durant. Sengun has reached the 30-point mark in back-to-back appearances and has collected six total blocks during this brief two-game hot streak.

  • Keon Ellis SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Shines with first unit

    Ellis produced 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Heat.

    With Dean Wade (ankle) out, Ellis moved into the first unit and was an obvious bright spot for the team. He's starting to find his footing in Cleveland, posting averages of 8.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 26.6 minutes over his last four outings.

  • Cedric Coward SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Limited to 12 points

    Coward (personal) totaled 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four assists and one rebound across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.

    Making his return from a three-game absence due to a personal issue, Coward saw his most minutes since Feb. 2, as the Grizzlies have been gradually ramping him back up after he had previously been sidelined for about three weeks while recovering from a right knee sprain. Coward has scored in double figures in six of his seven appearances since the beginning of March, averaging 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 triples per game in that span.

  • Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Leads way in blowout loss

    Jackson racked up 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.

    The Grizzlies looked completely overmatched against the Spurs, but Jackson was Memphis' best fantasy producer by a wide margin, ending just three boards shy of a double-double while contributing in each of the five major categories. Jackson has been one of Memphis' most reliable fantasy options since the All-Star break, averaging 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in his last 16 appearances. He's also scored at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances.

  • Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Puts up 17 points in loss

    Prosper produced 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and five rebounds over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.

    Prosper has been enjoying additional minutes due to the lack of frontcourt options available on the Memphis roster, and for the most part, the big man has been getting the job done. He's scored in double digits in 13 of his 18 consecutive starts dating back to Feb. 21, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He's a decent option to target if you need frontcourt depth late in the fantasy playoffs, given his steady playing time, as he's averaging 25.4 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

  • Spurs' Stephon Castle: Dishes out nine assists

    Castle logged 15 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), three rebounds and nine assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Castle has been thriving as a playmaker in recent weeks, and he showed his excellent vision once again Wednesday with nine assists in this blowout win over Memphis. The second-year guard has dished out six or more assists in seven games in a row and is averaging 7.5 dimes, as well as 16.2 points and 4.9 rebounds, per game since the All-Star break.

  • Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Fills stat sheet in win

    Champagnie ended with 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Champagnie ended just two rebounds away from recording a double-double, and he left his mark across the board with at least one tally in each of the five major categories. These games are fairly common for Champagnie, but he plays a secondary role on offense when the Spurs are fully healthy, which limits his overall upside. All things considered, Champagnie is trending in the right direction, scoring in double digits in four of his last five outings while averaging 11.4 points per game while shooting 38.7 percent from deep in that span.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Goes for 19 points

    Vassell logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Vassell bounced back from the six-point dud he delivered in the win over the Heat on Monday and posted his best scoring mark since he delivered 20 points against the Clippers on March 16. Vassell's game-to-game numbers have been a bit inconsistent, and that has hurt his fantasy upside across the board. The veteran wing is averaging 13.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game since the beginning of March while shooting 40 percent from three-point range.
