Lopez racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.

This was a major dud for Lopez, but he's been solid enough to warrant another chance from his fantasy managers. Over his last eight games, he's producing ninth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 10.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

Vassell supplied 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 119-115 victory over the Clippers.

Vassell continues to excel as a complementary wing piece in San Antonio. Over his last 14 games, he's returning seventh-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per contest.

The Clippers announced Monday that Leonard (ankle) is viewed as day-to-day and will travel with the team for its three-game road trip that begins Wednesday in New Orleans, ESPN.com reports.

Leonard was unavailable for Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs after spraining his left ankle late in Saturday's 118-109 loss to the Kings. Prior to sitting out Monday's contest, Leonard had played in 23 of the Clippers' previous 24 games. While the Clippers are seemingly optimistic that Leonard will be back in action soon, he's not guaranteed to be available for any of the upcoming three road contests. Though Kobe Sanders (17 minutes) and Cam Christie (six minutes) both re-entered the rotation Monday to absorb most of Leonard's vacated playing time, Jordan Miller (22 points in 26 minutes) was the biggest beneficiary from a usage standpoint.

Castle chipped in 23 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers.

The Spurs improve to 7-2 in March, with Castle putting on another impressive display. During that nine-game stretch, Castle has shot 46.8 percent from the field while averaging 17.1 points, 8.1 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.

The Knicks recalled Dadiet from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.

Dadiet should be available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, but unless Jalen Brunson (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable -- ends up sitting out, the Knicks may not have room in the rotation for the second-year forward.

The Pistons announced Tuesday that Stewart has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left calf strain and will be re-evaluated in one week.

The update isn't especially surprising, given that Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Sunday that Stewart was without a clear timeline for a return. Bickerstaff also said Stewart has been playing through the injury recently, but it worsened, so the Pistons opted to shut him down. Until Stewart is cleared to play, Paul Reed should remain in the rotation as the backup to starting center Jalen Duren, while forwards Javonte Green and Ronald Holland could see slightly elevated roles.

Doncic amassed 36 points (14-27 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 100-92 win over the Rockets.

The Lakers are rolling right now with six straight wins, and Doncic appears to be in elite form. During that stretch, Doncic is shooting 48.7 percent from the field to go with averages of 37.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 2.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 5.5 three-pointers.

Reaves finished with 15 points (5-18 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 100-92 victory over the Rockets.

Reaves helped the Lakers pick up their sixth straight win, improving the team to 43-25 on the season. During this stretch, Reaves has been terrific with averages of 25.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 49.5 percent shooting from the field.

Durant notched 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to the Lakers.

Durant wasn't able to find much success, with the Lakers throwing constant double teams at him. His fantasy managers haven't had much to complain about this season, however, as he's on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 25.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.

Eason closed Monday's 100-92 loss to the Lakers with five points (2-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

Eason saw plenty of usage in this contest and had a decent line apart from his woeful shooting. He's in the midst of a difficult stretch for Houston, posting averages of 5.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 26.3 minutes across his last seven appearances.
