Carrington contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.

Carrington has scored in double digits in his four appearances since returning to the starting lineup March 17, but he's been up and down with his three-point shooting over that span. The Pittsburgh standout, who's shooting a career-best 39.2 percent from deep in 2025-26, might be making 48 percent of his threes over that aforementioned four-game stretch, but in that span, he's gone 1-for-4 (vs. New York) and 1-for-6 (vs. Detroit) from beyond the arc. The numbers are strong on the surface, but the game-to-game performances are inconsistent, ultimately limiting his upside as a reliable long-range option.

Cooper closed Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 29 minutes.

Cooper has held a steady role off the bench since the All-Star break, starting in just one of his 17 appearances in that span while averaging 17.1 minutes per game. Even though Cooper has scored in double digits in two of his last three outings, it's worth noting he's averaging just 7.3 points per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three since the beginning of March. Even with the uptick in playing time, Cooper doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal right now as a bench option for one of the worst teams in the NBA.

White posted 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

White has failed to surpass the 15-point plateau in four of his last five games, and the veteran guard has experienced a bit of regression now that Jayson Tatum is entrenched as the No. 2 option on offense. White is averaging 18.5 points per game since the beginning of March while shooting 31.5 percent from deep across 11 appearances. For the sake of comparison, he averaged 21.3 points per game in his first six games this month as opposed to 15.2 in the last five.

Tatum finished with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to Minnesota.

Tatum struggled with his shot, but his lack of efficiency and rust can be attributed to not making his season debut until March 6 after recovering from a torn Achilles. He has settled as the No. 2 scoring option behind Jaylen Brown, but Tatum remains a productive player. The star forward should be a key contributor, even if he's not at 100 percent of his powers, because he can be a strong scoring force without being the No. 1 option on offense and is racking up rebounds at a high rate.

Brown finished Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves with 29 points (9-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes.

Brown didn't have his best shooting performance since he needed 26 shots to score 29 points, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the lack of efficiency if he continues to put up stats at this rate. This was Brown's fourth straight game with at least 29 points, and although he's shooting only 44.9 percent from the floor, he remains highly productive while still operating as Boston's go-to scoring weapon, even with Jayson Tatum back in the mix. For reference, Brown attempted 26 shots in this loss and has at least 20 shot attempts in five of his last six games, while Tatum is averaging 16.6 field goals per game in that same span.

Randle amassed nine points (3-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 victory over Boston.

Randle had one of his worst shooting performances of the season Sunday, and that resulted in his first single-digit scoring performance since a four-point performance (1-10 FG) in a win over the Clippers on Feb. 26. One bad game won't define Randle, and it shouldn't remove him from his role of being the team's go-to scoring weapon as long as Anthony Edwards (knee) remains out. Randle is still averaging 18.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in 12 outings since the beginning of March.

McDaniels finished Sunday's 102-92 victory over the Celtics with 19 points (8-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes.

Even though this was the third time McDaniels didn't record a steal or a block in his last seven contests, fantasy managers will live with that if it means a bigger role offensively. Over his last four games, McDaniels is averaging 17.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 blocks per game while shooting 38.9 percent from deep. He should continue to see elevated offensive usage until Anthony Edwards (knee) is cleared to suit up again.

Hyland recorded 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 victory over Boston.

Hyland has always had the capacity to score off the bench, but he seems to be taking his game to another level. He's scored at least 17 points in his last four appearances and has reached the 20-point plateau twice in that stretch, averaging 20.0 points per game and shooting 44.8 percent from deep. Hyland has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight contests, and the uptick in playing time is directly tied to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee).

Jarreau became a free agent Monday after his 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Jarreau appeared in all five of the Grizzlies' games after signing with the team March 13, averaging 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest while shooting 41.9 percent from the field. With both Jarreau and Tyler Burton having had their 10-day hardship contracts expire within the last two days, the Grizzlies are now down to a standard 15-man roster plus three two-way players. However, with Memphis listing eight players as out and two more as questionable or doubtful for Monday's game in Atlanta, the NBA could extend the Grizzlies another hardship exception or two that could be used to re-sign Jarreau and/or Burton to another 10-day deal. Expect any signing by the team to be announced prior to Monday's game, but if Jarreau isn't added back to the Grizzlies roster, he'll likely remain in the organization as a member of its G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle.

Mbeng became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the Jazz expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

After signing with Utah on March 13, the undrafted rookie out of Yale was heavily involved during his week-and-a-half-long stay in the NBA. He was part of the rotation for each of the Jazz's last five games, averaging 4.8 points, 4.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 33.4 minutes per contest while shooting 39.1 percent from the field. The Jazz would have the ability to retain Mbeng on a second 10-day deal or rest-of-season contract, so if the team intends to keep him, any re-signing would likely be finalized prior to Monday's game versus the Raptors.
