Williams had 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 147-101 victory over the Grizzlies.

Williams didn't have a horrible showing Friday. However, he still had trouble finding the bottom of the net, which has been a recurring theme of late. With only one more game left on the regular-season schedule for Utah, Williams will presumably remain in the starting lineup in Sunday's meeting with the Lakers, assuming Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) remain on the shelf.

Bridges registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 112-95 win over Toronto.

Bridges finished with his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort. Still, despite OG Anunoby (ankle) failing to return after exiting in the second quarter, Bridges couldn't capitalize on the scoring end. The 29-year-old hasn't been as productive offensively compared to previous seasons, averaging 14.6 points while adding 3.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 81 games. To keep his consecutive games streak alive, Bridges is expected to play in Sunday's meeting with the Hornets. However, with New York clinching the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, he may start before exiting as soon as possible for the remainder of the contest.

Gonzalez provided 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 144-118 win over the Pelicans.

Gonzalez didn't suit up in the Celtics' previous two contests heading into Friday's meeting with the Pelicans. He logged over 20 minutes for the first time since the 104-102 loss to Oklahoma City on March 12, which was also his last double-digit scoring effort. With Boston locking up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs, Gonzalez might find himself in the starting lineup for the season-finale versus Orlando. However, the 20-year-old could have a tough time getting on the floor during the postseason.

McCollum registered 29 points (11-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 124-102 victory over the Cavaliers.

Despite falling just short of hitting the 30-point mark for the first time in nearly a month, McCollum still had a fantastic showing by leading all scorers. It's unknown if the 34-year-old will suit up for the regular-season finale versus Miami. However, McCollum will presumably receive all of the minutes he can handle throughout the postseason.

Barnhizer accumulated 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Barnhizer fell one rebound short of a double-double while logging a career-high 33 minutes. With the Thunder potentially resting their starters again in Sunday's meeting with the Suns, there's a good chance Barnhizer will see significantly more than the 8.3 minutes he averaged in his 39 regular-season appearances.

Holmes finished Friday's 127-107 victory over the Thunder with two points (2-2 FT) and one steal across two minutes.

Nikola Jokic (wrist) didn't suit up in this contest. However, Holmes still didn't see much action from off the bench. While Jokic could be in the lineup for the season finale versus the Spurs in order to meet the 65-game threshold for awards eligibility purposes, it's unknown how much work the multi-time MVP will see. Still, even if Holmes manages to get on the floor more than usual Sunday, he likely won't be in the rotation during the playoffs.

Isaac (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Boston, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Isaac has missed 20 of Orlando's last 21 contests, although he logged only one minute in his only appearance during that span. It's unknown how much action the 28-year-old will receive if he's able to suit up. However, with Orlando looking to avoid the Play-In, it's hard to imagine Isaac getting a prominent role in the season finale if he's available.

Howard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Celtics, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Howard has missed the Magic's last four games while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but he could be available for Sunday's game. He served in a key rotational role off the bench, and in 22 outings since the All-Star break he has averaged 6.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.1 threes over 16.1 minutes per game. If Howard is cleared to play against Boston, then there could be less minutes available for the likes of Anthony Black and Jamal Cain.

Pickett posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 127-107 victory over Oklahoma City.

Despite the Nuggets resting their starters, Pickett couldn't re-enter the starting lineup for the first time since the 124-121 loss to Detroit on Feb. 3. However, the 26-year-old at least finished with his first double-digit scoring effort in months. With the playoffs right around the corner, Pickett might see increased action in Denver's season finale. Still, he isn't expected to have a stable role during the postseason, assuming everyone on the roster can stay off the injury report.

Wiggins ended with 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.

The Thunder were down most of their routine starters, so Wiggins entered the starting lineup for the first time since the 121-92 win over Brooklyn on March 18. With Oklahoma City getting ready for what the team hopes will be another deep postseason push, Wiggins might see more action until the end of the regular season. However, the 27-year-old likely won't receive as many scoring opportunities or stable playing time during the playoffs, assuming everyone on the roster can stay healthy.
