Giddey supplied 20 points (7-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 win over Milwaukee.

The triple-double was Giddey's eighth of the season, a new career high, and his 15th in a Chicago jersey -- tying Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen for second on the franchise's all-time list. Giddey played more than 30 minutes for the first time since returning after the All-Star break from a hamstring strain, and his workload restriction appears to have been lifted. Before initially suffering the hamstring injury just after Christmas -- he returned for four games in late January but was then shut down again -- Giddey had been averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists, 8.9 boards, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals over his first 30 contests this season.

Harris amassed 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Magic.

Fresh of collecting a career-high six steals during Friday's victory over the Cavaliers, Harris kept his foot on the gas. Sunday was his first 20-point game since the Jan. 27 win in Denver and his seventh on the campaign. Over his last nine outings, the veteran forward is averaging 12.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.8 minutes per game.

Green racked up 13 points (4-11 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 loss to the Bulls.

The fourth-year wing led all Milwaukee starters in scoring during the rout. Green has drained multiple three-pointers in four straight games and 10 of the last 12, but he doesn't offer much else but long-range shooting -- over that latter stretch, he's averaging just 11.3 points, 3.3 threes, 2.7 boards and 2.1 assists.

Portis finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-97 loss to the Bulls.

The veteran big led the Bucks in scoring on the afternoon, as none of the team's starters managed more than 13 points. Portis has scored in double digits in four straight games and eight of the last 10, averaging 13.6 points, 5.2 boards, 2.1 threes and 0.8 assists in 21.9 minutes as one of the key pieces of Milwaukee's second unit.

Thompson accumulated nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Magic.

Thompson's playing time remains inconsistent, but he was still able to stuff the stat sheet Sunday. The 2023 first-rounder could remain at risk of losing minutes to Ronald Holland or Caris LeVert late in games when the Pistons need more scoring, but Thompson is locked into a starting role. Over his past six outings, he's averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 27.6 minutes per game.

Cunningham closed with 29 points (11-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Magic.

The double-double was the All-Star point guard's 33rd through 53 games in 2025-26. Cunningham is riding a six-game double-double streak, averaging 26.5 points, 11.2 assists, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.8 blocks in 35.9 minutes per tilt during this stretch. Although the MVP race is likely to come down to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic, Cunningham is certainly worthy of some consideration.

Thompson won't return to Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right adductor contusion.

Thompson sustained the injury in the second quarter before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. He concludes the contest with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and one assist in 14 minutes.

Potter recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

The last-place Pacers are essentially missing their entire starting five, which bodes well for Potter's chances of holding onto a significant role in the frontcourt. The 27-year-old is drawing some attention as a streaming option in most fantasy settings, averaging 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per game over his last eight contests.

Jones amassed 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

Although the 10 assists were one short of his season best, Jones recorded his first career double-double Sunday. It's possible that starter Andrew Nembhard (back) will remain at risk of sporadically sitting out for injury management down the stretch, which could keep Jones in the mix for future starts. Over his six outings as a starter, the rookie second-rounder has averaged 10.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Walker produced 21 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

Walker scored a game-high 21 points Sunday, reaching the 20-point marker for the sixth time this year. The last-place Pacers look to be just about ready to embrace a youth movement to close out a losing season, which should keep Walker close to must-roster territory in most fantasy formats. The third-year forward has started seven consecutive contests, during which Walker has averaged 16.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.7 minutes per game.
