Kobe Sanders SG | LAC
Clippers' Kobe Sanders: Drops 19 in Monday's win
Sanders provided 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's 129-96 win over the Bucks.
The 19 points were Sanders' best offensive performance since Jan. 5, when he dropped 20 on the Warriors. The rookie forward has found a fairly consistent role in the Clippers' frontcourt rotation in March, and over his last 10 appearances (four starts), he's averaging 7.6 points, 2.1 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.3 steals in 19.7 minutes.

Brook Lopez C | LAC
Clippers' Brook Lopez: Big night from long distance
Lopez ended Monday's 129-96 victory over the Bucks with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 22 minutes.
The five made three-pointers represented his best shooting effort from long range since Dec. 26, when he lit up Portland for a 9-for-14 performance from beyond the arc. Lopez continues to run hot and cold, sinking multiple three-pointers in five of 14 March games but also failing to hit one at all in five games. On the month, the veteran center is averaging 10.6 points, 4.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 blocks while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor and 41.5 percent from three-point range.

Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Supplies game-high 28 in win
Leonard finished Monday's 129-96 victory over Milwaukee with 28 points (8-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 25 minutes.
The veteran forward didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter, making his efficient performance even more remarkable as he led all scorers on the night. Leonard has scored at least 25 points in 10 straight appearances as he drags the Clippers toward the Play-In Tournament, averaging 30.7 points, 6.0 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.8 threes and 2.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor and 41.8 percent from downtown.

AJ Green SG | MIL
Bucks' AJ Green: Drains four treys in loss
Green racked up 15 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and two assists in 21 minutes off the bench during Monday's 129-96 loss to the Clippers.
It was Green's best scoring effort since Feb. 25, as the fourth-year guard had another big night from beyond the arc. He's hit multiple three-pointers in five of the last six games, but Green offers little else from a fantasy perspective, averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.0 assists in 20.2 minutes over that stretch.

Ryan Rollins SG | MIL
Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Chips in 13 in rout
Rollins accumulated 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 129-96 loss to the Clippers.
The fourth-year guard wound up being the only starter for the shorthanded Bucks to reach double digits in points. Rollins hasn't delivered fewer than 13 points in any of his last 11 games, averaging 16.9 points, 6.9 assists, 4.8 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch as he puts the finishing touches on a breakout season.

Jalen Duren C | DET
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Perfect from charity stripe Tuesday
Duren logged 20 points (5-9 FG, 10-10 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 113-110 win over the Lakers.
Tuesday marked the sixth time this season that Duren connected on at least 10 free throws, and he finished as the Pistons' second-leading scorer behind Daniss Jenkins (30 points). It was Duren's sixth double-double in his last seven outings and his 37th of the 2025-26 regular season, which is tied with teammate Cade Cunningham (chest) for fourth most in the Association. Duren has scored at least 20 points in eight of his last nine outings, and over that span, he averaged 24.1 points on 74.1 percent shooting along with 9.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game.

Gary Trent Jr. SF | MIL
Bucks' Gary Trent: Pops for team-high 20 in loss
Trent closed with 20 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 31 minutes off the bench during Monday's 129-96 loss to the Clippers.
The 20 points led the Bucks in the loss, as Ryan Rollins was the only starter to reach double digits. Trent tied his season scoring high with the performance, a mark he'd reached twice before in 2025-26, and his role and usage appear secure in the short term with the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Kevin Porter (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) all on the shelf.

Deandre Ayton C | LAL
Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Double-doubles in loss
Ayton posted 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 113-110 loss to the Pistons.
Ayton led the Lakers in rebounding and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Luka Doncic (32 points) and Austin Reaves (24 points). Tuesday marked Ayton's 21st double-double of the season and fourth in 17 games since the All-Star break. Over that 17-game span, he has averaged 10.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.7 blocks over 25.8 minutes per game.

LeBron James SF | LAL
Lakers' LeBron James: Teases triple-double in loss
James chipped in 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 113-110 loss to the Pistons.
James' 10 field-goal attempts were tied for his second-lowest of the season (seven against the Jazz on Nov. 18). He led the Lakers with 10 dimes and came one rebound shy from logging his third triple-double of the season. James has taken a step back offensively in his 15 outings since the All-Star break, averaging just 13.5 field-goal attempts over that span, with those shots being reallocated to Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic.

Kennedy Chandler PG | UTA
Jazz's Kennedy Chandler: Just misses double-double Monday
Chandler finished with 13 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Monday's 143-127 loss to the Raptors.
The 23-year-old guard was productive once again in his second game since signing a 10-day contract with the Jazz, and Chandler fell one dime short of his first career double-double in the NBA. With Keyonte George (hamstring) out until at least the end of the month and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) also down, there should be plenty of work available for Chandler in the short term.
