  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Notches 38 points in win

    Mitchell accumulated 38 points (16-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 win over the Pacers.

    This was Mitchell's seventh game of the campaign with at least 38 points as the Cavaliers improved to 49-29 on the season. Over his last seven games, he's been a second-round value in nine-category formats with 26.1 points, 4.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 32.2 minutes per contest.

    Pacers' Obi Toppin: Scores 21 points in loss

    Toppin chipped in 21 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Toppin played through a foot issue and took advantage of some extra touches and minutes with Pascal Siakam (ankle) being one of several Pacers sidelined. Toppin has been terrific in limited minutes over his last seven games with 13.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers per contest.

  • Micah Potter PF | IND

    Pacers' Micah Potter: Double-doubles in loss

    Potter provided 21 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to Cleveland.

    Potter had a strong showing for the Pacers with multiple key players sitting out. He's generally a solid streaming option when that is the case. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging 11.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 19.0 minutes per contest.

  • Jalen Slawson SF | IND

    Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Shines in start

    Slawson recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to Cleveland.

    After sitting out his previous game for two-way eligibility, Slawson was in the starting group Sunday with multiple key players sitting out. Over his last four appearances, he's averaging 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 19.2 minutes per contest.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't return versus Lakers

    Gafford (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lakers.

    Gafford injured his right shoulder early in the fourth quarter and immediately exited toward the locker room in obvious pain. He will finish Sunday's game with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 20 minutes. The Mavericks will next play Tuesday versus the Clippers, and if Gafford can't suit up for that contest, Marvin Bagley should be considered the favorite to replace him in the starting lineup.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Returns from two-game absence

    Rollins chipped in 24 points (10-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 win over Memphis.

    Rollins returned from a two-game absence related to a hip strain, and he saw a major role for a Milwaukee team hammered by injuries. It's no surprise that he soaked up a ton of usage Sunday, but it will be interesting to see how involved he is for the final four games of the campaign.

  • Ousmane Dieng SF | MIL

    Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Another strong line in win

    Dieng closed with 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 victory over Memphis.

    Dieng's shooting comes and goes, but he's making a strong impression on the coaching staff. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 39.8 percent shooting from the field.

  • Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Remaining in starting lineup

    Melton will start in Sunday's game against Houston, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    Stephen Curry (knee) will return and play in his first game since Jan. 30. However, the multi-time All-Star will come off the bench, keeping Melton in the starting lineup for at least one more contest. Melton has started 20 times throughout the campaign, averaging 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.9 steals across 25.1 minutes.

  • Cormac Ryan SG | MIL

    Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Scores 21 points in win

    Ryan registered 21 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 win over Memphis.

    Ryan put together a strong display off the bench for his second game of the season with at least 21 points. Over his last three games, he's been hot with 19.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers on 62.1 percent shooting from the field.

  • Grizzlies' Dariq Whitehead: Scores 16 points in loss

    Whitehead racked up 16 points (6-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 loss to the Bucks.

    Whitehead, who was signed to a 10-day contract Thursday, saw a significant workload for the injury-depleted Grizzlies. Meanwhile, starters Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks combined for 26 minutes. If Sunday was any indication, Whitehead is going to get a long look to close out the season.
