Sabonis ended with 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 108-96 win over Philadelphia.

Sabonis joined an exclusive group with his 25th triple-double of the season, a feat achieved by only four other players in NBA history. Sabonis' 54th consecutive double-double set another record, as his effort broke a tie with Kevin Love for the longest streak since the NBA/ABA merger. Despite his historic season, Sabonis is getting little respect as an MVP candidate, and his All-Star snub this season can easily be described as an oversight. Sabonis and Nikola Jokic have both been consistent fantasy standouts, and Sabonis has outproduced the presumptive MVP in several categories.

Bagley finished with 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 17 minutes off the bench during Monday's 107-105 win over the Bulls.

Playing his second game since returning from a back issue, Bagley remained behind Richaun Holmes on the depth chart at center for the Wizards but had a very efficient offensive performance. Holmes has been a beast on the glass the last few games, so while the 25-year-old Bagley is more likely to be part of the team's future plans, they may be in no rush to push him back into the starting five to close out the 2023-24 season.

Horford totaled seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Hawks.

Horford delivered his trademark offensive synergy and chipped in on the defensive glass, but Atlanta beat him to the rim and punished him on the offensive glass in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss. Horford has been sharp of late, averaging 15.2 points and 5.6 rebounds on 60.0 percent shooting in 32.2 minutes across his last five games, but Monday serves as a reminder of the danger involved in Boston being heavily reliant on the 37-year-old defensively.

Holmes recorded 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 107-105 victory over the Bulls.

The veteran big has started six straight games since returning from a toe injury March 16, and his production -- particularly on the glass -- has grown nearly with each contest. Holmes has ripped down at least 14 boards in three straight games, and over the last four he has averaged 11.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 assists while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor. Marvin Bagley returned from his own back injury Saturday but has been on a minutes restriction the last two games, playing just 17 minutes Monday, and given Holmes' current form he may not give up the starting role easily.

Allen contributed 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 115-92 victory over the Hornets.

It's the 36th double-double of the season for Allen, as he extends his career high in that category. Eight of them have come in the last 12 games for the 25-year-old center, a stretch in which he's averaged 18.2 points, 12.0 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor. With Donovan Mitchell (nose) still lacking a timeline for his return, other Cavaliers like Allen will need to keep stepping up to keep the team out of the Play-In Tournament -- Cleveland is currently third in the Eastern Conference at 44-28, but only 4.5 games ahead of seventh-place Miami.

Collins produced 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 104-102 win over the Suns. He also had three turnovers.

Collins has averaged 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.3 minutes across three starts in March. His three-point shot is a fading element of his game, averaging just 1.5 attempts from deep across his last 10 contests, but he was still able to score effectively Monday.

Turner closed Monday's 133-116 win over the Clippers with 24 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and one block over 26 minutes.

Turner finished as Indiana's second-leading scorer in the victory, trailing only Pascal Siakam (31 points). It was the second straight game of at least 20 points for Turner following a four-game stretch during which he averaged a modest 10.8 points. The big man has swatted at least one shot in five straight contests and ranks ninth in the NBA with 1.8 blocks per game on the campaign.

Gafford ended with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 115-105 victory over the Jazz.

Gafford tallied seven combined steals and blocks, capping off another impressive performance. After an up-and-down start to his tenure in Dallas, Gafford has been a revelation over the past two weeks, putting up first-round value with averages of 14.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 blocks. It appears he is locked in as the preferred starting center, a welcome sight for any fantasy managers who have him on their roster.

Huff racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block in three minutes during Monday's 128-103 win over Memphis.

Huff closed the game Monday, logging three minutes in garbage time. Having played just three games over the past month, Huff is about as far from a fantasy target as you will find. Managers are justified in ignoring this performance.

Jemison recorded eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 128-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Jemison returned to the lineup after sitting out against the Spurs on Friday. The Grizzlies continue to tinker with their lineup on a nightly basis, making it hard to trust anyone when it comes to sustainable fantasy value. At this point, it might be a situation to avoid, barring the ability to add players right up until the opening tip.
