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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

McDaniels posted 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over Houston.

McDaniels stepped up in the win and led Minnesota in scoring. He provided a much-needed boost without the services of Anthony Edwards, who is on the mend from a knee injury. Wednesday marked the first time McDaniels has reached the 20-point threshold since March 1.

Ware totaled 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 win over the Cavaliers.

Ware continues to trend in the right direction for Miami. Over his last eight games, he's nearly averaging a double-double in 21.5 minutes per contest with 8.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks on 47.2 percent shooting from the field.

Gobert fouled out of Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets after recording 14 points (7-13 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.

Gobert led Minnesota in rebounds and blocks on the way to a hard-fought win. He's now recorded a double-double in three of his last four outings, averaging 15.5 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.0 blocks over this recent hot stretch.

Powell racked up 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 victory over the Cavaliers.

Powell moved back into the first unit Wednesday, as the Heat continue to experiment with different groups. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Powell maintains a steady usage rate and workload, so it's not a make-or-break situation for his fantasy value.

Grant notched 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks.

Making his return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury, Grant was his usual dangerous self from long distance. The veteran forward has drained multiple three-pointers in nine of his 11 appearances in March, averaging 17.5 points, 3.4 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals on the month while shooting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.
