Wembanyama produced 32 points (10-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and four steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 loss to the Warriors.

Wembanyama was able to post a high scoring total despite being smothered by Draymond Green for most of the contest. Green did manage to curb the rookie's usual voluminous rebound numbers, but the generational talent is still one of the best producers in the league and the heavy favorite for Rookie of the Year.

Zubac logged 24 points (7-8 FG, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 33 minutes during Sunday's 130-118 win over the Hornets.

Zubac was nearly perfect from the field Sunday, missing just one shot from the field en route to delivering a season-high scoring mark. As if that was not enough, the big man also delivered just his second double-double since the beginning of March. Even though he hasn't been the most consistent producer in recent weeks, Zubac remains a steady source for points, rebounds and blocks. He's averaged 11.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest over his last 10 outings.

Bagley totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals over 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-107 loss to the Heat.

Bagley has started in the Wizards' last two games due to the absence of Kyle Kuzma (heel), but he's responded well with back-to-back double-doubles. There are no signs of the Wizards wanting to shut Kuzma down for the rest of the season, as the team has nothing to play for, but if that's the case, Bagley would suddenly become more valuable down the stretch. He's averaging 13.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in a starting role while also riding a streak of five consecutive outings with double-digit points.

Adebayo ended with 22 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-107 win over Washington.

Adebayo finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double in what would've been his fourth time reaching that feat over his last five appearances. Adebayo is playing a prominent role for the Heat on both ends of the court, and even though this is still Jimmy Butler's team, Adebayo has been nothing of sensational over the last month. He finished March with averages of 17.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per contest.

Lively is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a right lower leg injury, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Lively suffered an injury to his leg in the second quarter and was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after halftime. He concludes Sunday's contest with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 13 minutes. The severity of the injury isn't clear at this point, but it was reassuring that he was able to return to the bench and watch the remainder of the game. He should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Kessler will start during Sunday's game against the Kings, David Locke of Locked on Podcast reports.

Kessler will return to the starting lineup due to John Collins (back) being out of the lineup. The 22-year-old pro is averaging 9.0 points, 10.0 rebounds 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 27.0 minutes per game over his last three starts.

Davis posted 24 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds and three blocks over 35 minutes in Sunday's 116-104 win over Brooklyn.

Despite entering the game questionable with knee discomfort, Davis led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds and blocks while ending second on the team in scoring and as one of two Lakers players with a double-double performance. Davis has hauled in 10 or more boards in six straight games, adding 20 or more points in all six of those outings. He has now recorded three or more blocks in three of his last five appearances.

Gibson (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Gibson will likely miss a seventh consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain. His potential absence wouldn't impact the rotation.

Gobert (ribs) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Gobert has been dealing with a rib sprain over the last couple of weeks, but he will make his fifth straight appearance Sunday. Over his last four games, Gobert is averaging 14.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocks in 35.8 minutes per contest.

Okongwu (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Okongwu will extend his streak of missed games to six due to a left toe sprain. Bruno Fernando will likely continue to see extended run in his absence.
