Hartenstein finished with 18 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-104 win over the Grizzlies.

Hartenstein continues to dominate down low and delivered another impressive stat line while filling the stat sheet left and right with his contributions. The big man has recorded five double-doubles over his last six appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

Adebayo accumulated 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 win over Atlanta.

Adebayo didn't fill the stat sheet in this victory, and Tyler Herro certainly overshadowed him with his 31-point performance, but there's no question the star big man still posted a solid line due to his two-way play. Adebayo, who recorded his first double-double since March 10, is averaging 19.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Okongwu closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to the Heat.

Okongwu finished just one rebound away from recording yet another double-double, and his two-way play has been spectacular for the Hawks, as he looks increasingly comfortable in a starting role while developing excellent chemistry with Trae Young. Okongwu has posted eight double-doubles in 13 March games.

Allen recorded 29 points (10-11 FG, 9-11 FT), 15 rebounds, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 victory over San Antonio.

Donovan Mitchell turned heads with his 14-assist performance on Thursday, but Allen was the one who carried the team on offense while dominating the glass. This was his first double-double since March 16, but it came when the Cavaliers needed him to step up on both ends of the court. Even if he's no longer the double-double machine he once was, Allen remains a capable two-way presence for the Cavs. He's averaging 15.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and a combined 2.3 steals-plus-blocks per game since the start of March.

Drummond (toe) didn't practice Friday and is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against Miami, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Drummond's absence streak is expected to extend to nine games Saturday due to a lingering sprained left toe. The big man doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, though Adem Bona will likely continue to see an uptick in playing time due to Drummond being sidelined.

Davis provided 15 points (5-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 101-92 win over Orlando.

Davis didn't have his best shooting performance in this game, going 5-for-19 from the field and failing to get into any kind of rhythm offensively. The star big man has been limited to only three games in a Mavs uniform, averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in those outings.

Sarr ended with 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 loss to the Pacers.

Sarr was the top scorer for the Wizards in this game. While the rookie tends to receive heavy minutes on a steady basis in order to give him as much exposure as possible in his first year in the league, he was limited to only 28 minutes in this blowout loss. Sarr has been playing well in recent weeks, though, and his growth has been massive. He's reached the 20-point mark in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 blocks per game in that span.

Reath ended Thursday's 128-107 loss to the Kings with 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.

Reath led the second unit in scoring Thursday, logging season-high marks in points and three-pointers. The big man has received an uptick in playing time of late due to Deandre Ayton (calf), Jerami Grant (knee) and Robert Williams (knee) all being sidelined. Over his last 10 appearances, Reath has averaged 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per contest. Prior to the All-Star break, he averaged only 5.3 minutes per game across 26 appearances.

Sabonis closed Thursday's 128-107 victory over the Trail Blazers with 22 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes.

Sabonis stuffed the stat sheet once again, recording his 53rd outing with a double-double or better across 61 regular-season appearances. Additionally, the 28-year-old logged at least 20 points for the 30th time on the season. The star big man has made three appearances following a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, during which he has averaged 15.3 points, 16.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists across 35.0 minutes per contest.

Filipowski amassed 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets.

The Jazz have two players up for Rookie of the Year consideration, but Filipowski's numbers probably won't be enough to unseat standouts like Stephon Castle or Zaccharie Risacher. Nevertheless, the Duke product has excelled under pressure amid Utah's several injury troubles throughout the season. Filipowski is having a very productive month, averaging 15.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 15 games in March.
