Mitchell Robinson C | BOS
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Records four steals
Robinson finished Monday's 133-104 win over the Kings with two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds, one assist and four steals in 16 minutes.
Robinson missed Friday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle issue but was back in his usual role Monday, picking up a season-high four steals in the process. Behind a healthy Karl-Anthony Towns, there isn't much fantasy appeal here. Through five appearances, Robinson is averaging 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 14.0 minutes.

Clippers' Drew Eubanks: Iffy for Tuesday
Eubanks is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with left hip soreness, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Eubanks has averaged 10.0 minutes per game through four March appearances, so if he's unable to play in the front end of this back-to-back set, the Clippers could utilize some smaller lineups with Nicolas Batum in the frontcourt.

Jakob Poeltl C | TOR
Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Cleared to play
Poeltl (rest) will be available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
After getting the night off in Monday's win over Washington, Poeltl is likely to slide back into the starting lineup Wednesday. Orlando Robinson should head back to the second unit after impressing in his spot start Monday, and Colin Castleton could lose some playing time after logging 27 minutes against the Wizards.

Dwight Powell C | DAL
Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Efficient in win Monday
Powell ended with nine points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes during Monday's 133-129 victory over the Spurs.
After playing limited minutes in the previous two games for the Mavericks, Powell logged an efficient 21 minutes in Monday's win against the Spurs, connecting on four of his five field-goal attempts. The veteran big man seems to be returning to form with more time on the floor, which is good news for Dallas moving forward.

Nick Richards C | MIA
Suns' Nick Richards: Double-doubles in loss
Richards chipped in 10 points (5-9 FG), 12 rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
Richards picked up his 14th double-double of the season despite limited run Monday. Over his last 10 outings, Richards has returned 11th-round value in nine-category formats, posting averages of 12.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.7 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game.

Jay Huff C | IND
Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Scores 14 points in spot start
Huff logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.
Huff made his second start of the season Monday due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (ankle). Huff made the most of the opportunity, but his fantasy upside will be tied to Edey's availability.

Chet Holmgren PF | OKC
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Struggles in loss to Denver
Holmgren recorded eight points (3-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Monday's 140-127 loss to Denver.
Holmgren couldn't get going in the second leg against the Nuggets, connecting on only three of his 11 field-goal attempts and missing all five attempts from beyond the arc Monday. In his last 10 games for the Thunder, the second-year big man averaged 12.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, shooting 47 percent from the floor and 29.4 percent from deep.

Bam Adebayo C | MIA
Heat's Bam Adebayo: Sniffs triple-double
Adebayo recorded 23 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Hornets.
Adebayo has been playing at a high level in recent weeks, and even though Tyler Herro tends to carry the Heat offensively, it wouldn't be a stretch to say Adebayo has been the Heat's best player since the end of the All-Star break. Over those 11 games, the star big man is averaging 22.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game while recording five double-doubles.
-
Mark Williams C | PHO
Hornets' Mark Williams: Double-doubles in return
Williams logged 24 points (9-13 FG, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Heat.
Williams returned from a two-game absence due to a foot injury and not only recorded a double-double but filled the stat sheet admirably, notching at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Williams has been productive since his proposed trade to the Lakers got rescinded in early February. The big man is averaging 16.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the end of the All-Star break.

John Collins PF | DET
Jazz's John Collins: Carries Utah on offense
Collins provided 28 points (12-30 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-108 loss to Boston.
The Jazz turned out to be more competitive than expected in this tight loss to Boston, and Collins had a strong showing as a scoring weapon even if he needed 30 shots to score 28 points. The veteran forward, who was returning to the lineup following a five-game absence due to a back injury, should be one of Utah's go-to players on offense going forward, although given the Jazz's recent resting patterns, it's unclear if he'll be available regularly. It wouldn't be surprising if he sits Wednesday's game against Memphis due to injury management.
