Dieng totaled 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and four rebounds over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.

Dieng has started in the last two games for the Bucks, scoring in double digits both times while shooting a combined 11-for-24 from the field. Dieng was recently praised by head coach Doc Rivers, and while he might continue to see minutes in a starting role, his fantasy upside will be modest.

Rollins supplied 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in this loss, but Rollins also posted an impressive line -- he ended just two boards shy of recording what would've been his first triple-double of the season. Rollins has been a regular starter for the Bucks in 2025-26, and while he was moved to the bench during the loss to Boston on March 2, he was back in the starting lineup Wednesday due to Kevin Porter's (knee) absence. Rollins is averaging 16.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game since the All-Star break.

Okongwu registered 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 victory over the Bucks.

Okongwu finished just two boards shy of recording what would've been his fifth consecutive outing with a double-double. However, even though he didn't reach that feat, he still posted a well-rounded line. Okongwu has scored at least 20 points in three of his seven outings since the All-Star break, and it was also the fourth time over that span in which he recorded at least one tally in each of the five major categories. The big man is averaging 15.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 blocks per game since the All-Star break.

Johnson supplied 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 win over the Bucks.

To illustrate how good Johnson has been this season, this was his third consecutive game without a double-double, which is his longest streak without achieving that feat since the start of the campaign, as he opened the 2025-26 season without a double-double until his fifth outing. It was also his fourth straight without a triple-double, and he hadn't gone four games without one since late January. Johnson's numbers might be a bit down compared to November or December, but he remains the absolute focal point of the Hawks' offensive scheme.

Alexander-Walker closed with 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 victory over the Bucks.

Alexander-Walker surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 9, when he scored 23 points in a loss to the Timberwolves. He has scored in double digits in his last 32 games, so his consistency has been solid, and he's putting up 19.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game over that stretch.

Mathurin recorded 23 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 win over the Pacers.

It seemed Mathurin was extra motivated against his former team. He ended just two boards shy of recording a double-double and has scored at least 20 points in four of his seven appearances with the Clippers after the All-Star break, averaging 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.7 threes made per game in that stretch. Mathurin is doing enough to warrant even more minutes, but as good as he's been off the bench, he's likely to remain in that role for the time being.

Lopez contributed 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 victory over the Pacers.

Lopez didn't do much outside of scoring, but his contributions were enough to finish the game as the Clippers' third-best offensive weapon behind Kawhi Leonard and Bennedict Mathurin. Since moving to a permanent starting role Feb. 4, Lopez has scored in double digits in six of his last 12 outings. Consistency from game to game is lacking, but he should remain a secondary scoring option. He has decent fantasy upside, but he's more of a backup center rather than someone you'd want to have in your lineup every night.

Leonard chipped in 29 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 victory over the Pacers.

Leonard continues to play at a very high level this season and has scored at least 23 points in each of his six appearances since the All-Star break. He's also averaging 5.8 boards, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game in that stretch while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor, so the veteran forward is leaving his mark every time he steps on the court while carrying the Clippers. As if that wasn't enough, Leonard's impressive run of games with 20 or more points is now at 39 outings. He's putting up 28.8 points, 6.6 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.7 threes made per game over that span.

Walker recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 loss to the Clippers.

Walker is undoubtedly going through the most prominent stretch of his brief NBA career, and he's making the most of the expanded role. Walker, a first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has surpassed the 15-point line in three straight games and in five of the Pacers' seven games since the All-Star break. Over that seven-game stretch, Walker is averaging 15.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest. He needs to improve on his efficiency, however, as he's shooting just 41.8 percent from the floor and 34.1 percent from deep in that stretch.

Huff notched 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 loss to the Clippers.

Huff seems to have a tight grip on the starting center role in Indiana, at least until Ivica Zubac (ankle) is ready to make his Pacers debut. Huff has started in all but one of the Pacers' last 13 games, averaging a solid line of 11.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor. Huff has scored in double digits eight times in that span.
