Edgecombe posted 38 points (16-28 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 139-118 victory over the Kings.

The No. 3 pick in the 2025 Draft came up big on the road for the Sixers, setting a new career scoring high while Joel Embiid (oblique), Tyrese Maxey (finger) and Kelly Oubre (elbow) were all in street clothes. Edgecombe has scored in double digits in five of the last six games since returning from a back bruise of his own, averaging 18.7 points, 6.0 boards, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 threes in 32.7 minutes over that stretch.

Hinson closed with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 128-96 win over Milwaukee.

The rookie tied his career high in made three-pointers in his 10th NBA game, a mark he first set March 9 against the Warriors. Hinson has spotted in and out of the lineup as the Jazz try to avoid exhausting all the appearances allowed by his two-way contract, but he's been productive from long distance when on the court, averaging 9.6 points, 2.5 triples, 2.4 boards and 0.8 assists in 20.2 minutes while shooting 48.1 percent from beyond the arc. He'll be eligible to play in six of the Jazz's remaining 12 contests, so fantasy managers looking to stream him for a given game will want to confirm his status prior to the contest tipping off.

Williams totaled 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 128-96 victory over the Bucks.

The second-year wing failed to reach 30 minutes for a second straight game, but this time it's because Utah emptied what little bench it had available in the fourth quarter of a rout, rather than Williams' own poor performance. The 10th overall pick in the 2024 Draft has scored in double digits in seven of the last eight games as he handles elevated court time and usage for the shorthanded Jazz, averaging 16.4 points, 5.1 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 threes in 35.0 minutes over that stretch while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor.

Cooper racked up 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 loss to the Pistons.

Cooper made the most of his fill-in start as one of the few bright spots for the Wizards. The team obviously won't be playing for much down the stretch, so Cooper is a candidate to see an extended look in the rotation.

Harkless ended Thursday's 128-96 win over the Bucks with 23 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists across 34 minutes.

Making his fourth start in 10 March games, Harkless set a new career scoring high while recording his first career double-double. Over four games since Keyonte George (hamstring) was sidelined, Harkless is averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.3 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.5 steals in 31.0 minutes. Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Brice Sensabaugh (illness) were also sidelined for Thursday's win.

Watkins produced nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, four blocks and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 loss to Detroit.

Watkins continues to play a key role off the Washington bench, and he saw a healthy workload Thursday with so many players on the injury report. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 20.1 minutes per contest with 8.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers.

LeVert had 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 victory over the Wizards.

With Cade Cunningham (chest) out indefinitely, LeVert is one of several Pistons who could see increased minutes and usage. LeVert has been pretty underwhelming for the most part this season, however, and Daniss Jenkins and Kevin Huerter are likely to be better grabs in fantasy hoops.

Bailey ended Thursday's 128-96 win over the Bucks with 33 points (13-27 FG, 7-19 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes.

The teenage forward has found his rhythm from long range. Bailey's 33 points set a new personal best for the rookie, while the seven made three-pointers tied his career high. The No. 5 pick in the 2025 Draft has sunk at least five treys in four of his last six games, averaging 20.0 points, 4.5 threes, 4.0 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 27.3 minutes over that stretch while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from downtown.

Dieng supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 128-96 loss to the Jazz.

Returning to the starting five after he came off the bench Tuesday in his return from a two-game absence due to an illness, Dieng made a minor splash at both ends of the court, and his 25 minutes actually led the Bucks. Dieng has drained multiple threes in six of his eight appearances in March (seven starts), averaging 10.5 points, 4.1 boards, 2.8 assists and 2.3 threes in 27.6 minutes while shooting 47.4 percent from long distance.

Reed accumulated 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 win over the Wizards.

With Isaiah Stewart (calf) still on the shelf and Jalen Duren not playing in the fourth quarter out of caution, Reed saw increased usage and put together an impressive display. Reed's per-minute upside is very strong, so as long as the minutes are there, he'll be on the streaming radar.
