Robinson posted 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 127-109 win over the 76ers.

Jakob Poeltl has been resting every other game for Toronto, and Robinson was able to make the most of his minutes Sunday. In six starts this season, Robinson has shown he can be a serviceable streamer with averages of 12.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 steals.

Gibson posted four points (2-4 FG), one rebound, three blocks and one steal across 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 98-94 loss to the Pelicans.

The 39-year-old is more coach than player at this stage of his career, but with Mark Williams resting, Gibson tied his season high in blocks with Sunday's performance. The 15 minutes also represented his largest workload since he played 22 minutes against the Magic on Feb. 12 -- since then, he's gotten onto the court in only six of the Hornets' last 22 contests.

Nurkic contributed 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 98-94 loss to the Pelicans.

With Mark Williams (rest) getting the night off, Nurkic made his third start in 14 March appearances and delivered his 10th double-double of the season. The three blocks also represented his best defensive performance in 19 contests since joining the Hornets. Nurkic has consistently played 20 minutes or less when coming off the bench, making him an unreliable fantasy option unless he's getting a look in the starting five.

Bassey (knee) recorded one rebound and one block in 10 minutes of court time in Sunday's 148-106 loss to the Warriors.

Available for the first time since Feb. 23 after missing 18 straight games due to an acute-on-chronic bone bruise in his left knee, Bassey claimed a spot in the San Antonio frontcourt rotation while Bismack Biyombo (coach's decision) went unused for the second straight game. Due to the length of Bassey's absence, the Spurs kept his minutes in check, but he could see his playing time ramp up over the final two weeks of the season.

Allen posted 25 points (11-12 FG, 3-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 127-122 victory over the Clippers.

Allen led the way for Cleveland in the paint Sunday, pacing all players in scoring and shots made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a double-double performance. Allen has recorded 25 or more points in five outings, including in two of his last three appearances. He has now posted a double-double in 39 contests this season.

Reid was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Pistons, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Reid was one of five players ejected from Sunday's game that stemmed from a brawl that started when he took exception to being fouled by Ron Holland on a drive to the basket. After the dust settled, Reid and Holland were joined by Isaiah Stewart, Marcus Sasser and Donte DiVincenzo in being removed for the rest of Sunday's contest. Reid will end the night with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes.

Holmgren (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Holmgren has been in and out of the lineup lately as he continues to nurse a left hip injury. If he is unable to suit up, Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams (hip, questionable) would be candidates for increased minutes.

Hartenstein (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Hartenstein is in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest after exiting Saturday's win over Indiana due to left hip soreness. With Chet Holmgren (hip) and Jaylin Williams (hip) also being listed as questionable for Monday's matchup, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson and Dillon Jones could receive a bump in minutes in the frontcourt.

Bassey (knee) is available for Sunday's contest against the Warriors.

Bassey will be available for the first time since Feb. 23 after missing the last 18 games due to what the Spurs have labeled as an acute-on-chronic bone bruise in his left knee. While Bassey projects to be part of the rotation Sunday, given the length of his absence, the Spurs are likely to keep his minutes in check.

Claxton (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Claxton missed the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the Wizards for rest purposes, but he will be available for Monday's contest in Dallas. Over his last five appearances, Claxton has averaged 12.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.8 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.
