    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Comes close to triple-double

    Jokic totaled 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks.

    Jokic finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his 22nd triple-double of the season, though to be fair, Jokic's shot was particularly off Sunday. However, if an "off game" means he'll still sniff a triple-double, fantasy managers don't need to be too concerned. Jokic is averaging 26.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Optimism for Monday's status

    The Lakers are optimistic Davis (eye), who is officially listed as questionable, will be able to play Monday against Atlanta, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Davis exited Saturday's game against the Warriors due to his injury, as his eye was swollen shut, and he was experiencing impaired vision. However, he regained his vision Sunday and feels better ahead of Monday's matchup. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old will face any restrictions if he can suit up.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Double-double against Miami

    Duren registered 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 loss to the Heat.

    It was the fourth straight double-double for the second-year center and his 38th of the season, tying him with Tyrese Haliburton for eighth in the league. Duren has failed to pull down double-digit boards only twice in 13 games since the All-Star break, averaging 14.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor.

  • Bam Adebayo C | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Plays hero Sunday

    Adebayo logged 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over Detroit.

    The double-double was his 34th of the season, but it was the three-pointer -- just the 12th of his career -- that was the game-winning shot, as he drained it with no time left on the clock for a true buzzer-beater. Over 12 games since the All-Star break, Adebayo is averaging 18.5 points, 10.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Hawks' Clint Capela: Extends double-double streak

    Capela amassed 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 win over the Clippers.

    Capela registered his fifth consecutive double-double in the victory, continuing a very productive month. Over eight games in March, Capela has averaged 12.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Won't play Monday

    Clarke (Achilles) is out for Monday's game against the Kings.

    Clarke was assigned to and recalled from the team's G League affiliate Sunday, presumably so he could get a practice in with the team, suggesting that he is progressing towards a return. His return will not come Monday, however, making his next opportunity to suit up Wednesday against the Warriors.

  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Officially listed questionable

    Davis (eye) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Davis has officially been diagnosed with a corneal abrasion in his left eye after being poked in the eye during Saturday's loss to the Warriors. The injury has his status in the air Monday, but Davis stated that his vision has improved since the initial incident, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he is ultimately unable to go, Jaxson Hayes should be in line for extended run.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Gets questionable tag

    Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

    Gobert is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game due to a left rib sprain. If he is unable to suit up, Naz Reid should be in line for an increased role once again.

  • John Collins PF | DET

    Jazz's John Collins: Off injury report

    Collins (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Timberwolves.

    Collins sat out of Saturday's game against the Timberwolves for rest purposes, but he will return to the lineup Monday. The 26-year-old pro is averaging 17.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 31.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Dealing with impaired vision

    Davis' left eye was swollen shut and he was experiencing impaired vision after he exited early in Saturday's 128-121 loss to the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Davis sustained what was described as an abrasion with 2:47 left in the first quarter, when he was poked in the left eye by the Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis. Though he initially played though the issue, Davis' eye began to swell up before he made a visit to the locker room. The Lakers then ruled Davis out for the game midway through the third quarter. According to McMenamin, Davis is scheduled to be monitored throughout Sunday's off day before the Lakers determine his status for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.
