Sarr posted 16 points (5-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.

Sarr has been one of the most consistent rookies in the 2024-25 season, and the Frenchman has improved vastly compared to how he was playing in the early stages of the campaign. This was his second consecutive double-double, and he's notched that feat eight times already in 2024-25. He's averaging a solid line of 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and a combined 2.0 steals-plus-blocks per game in six outings since the beginning of the All-Star break.

Robinson logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 119-104 victory over Washington.

Robinson got the start Monday due to the absence of Jakob Poeltl (rest), and he made the most of the opportunity. This was his first double-double of the season, and he also notched season-high marks in both points and rebounds. Robinson might see more time in the starting unit in the coming weeks, but until Poeltl is shut down for the rest of the season, Robinson's inconsistent role prevents him from having a bigger role in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 7.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in five outings this month.

Hartenstein registered 20 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 140-127 loss to the Nuggets.

Matched up against Nikola Jokic in the paint, Hartenstein came through with his best scoring effort since Dec. 14, although his output paled in comparison to Jokic's game-high 35 points and 18 boards. Hartenstein has seen his production and court time take a small step back since the All-Star break, and over his last 10 appearances, he's averaged 10.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 combined blocks and steals in 25.7 minutes a contest.

Jokic closed with 35 points (15-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 18 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 140-127 victory over the Thunder.

The clash between the top two teams in the Western Conference went Denver's way thanks to a massive performance from Jokic, as the perennial MVP candidate led all players on the night in points and boards and tied Cason Wallace for the most dimes. Jokic has recorded at least a double-double in 11 straight games, nabbing triple-doubles in five of those contests, and over that stretch, he's averaged 24.7 points, 15.1 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.4 threes and 0.7 blocks while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor.

Bamba and the Pelicans agreed to a 10-day contract Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

After a brief stint with the Clippers to begin the 2024-25 season, Bamba has since been feasting in the G League for the Birmingham Squadron, posting averages of 21.0 points, 14.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 blocks. The Pelicans don't have much to play for at this point in the season, so it would make sense for them to give Bamba an opportunity to impress in the frontcourt.

Adams amassed 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-3 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes off the bench during Monday's 97-84 victory over the Magic.

The 17 boards were a season high for Adams, while the double-double was his second of the campaign. The veteran center typically doesn't get enough court time to make a consistent fantasy impact, but Adams has pulled down double-digit rebounds in four of the five games this season in which he's played at least 20 minutes.

Sengun totaled 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block over 38 minutes during Monday's 97-84 victory over the Magic.

It was Sengun's 37th double-double of the season, and his first in four contests since returning from a one-game absence due to back trouble. The fourth-year center has failed to score at least 20 points only twice in nine appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 21.6 points, 10.1 boards, 5.0 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor.

Clingan accumulated 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and four blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 130-120 loss to the Warriors.

This was the line Clingan's patient fantasy managers have been waiting for -- in his previous 10 games, the center averaged just 6.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 blocks in 21.1 minutes. Monday's game illustrates just how much upside Clingan can offer, and it could be a sign of things to come to close out the season, especially if Deandre Ayton (calf) remains out.

Carter amassed eight points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Monday's 97-84 loss to the Rockets.

It's the first time in March that Carter has pulled down double-digit boards. The 25-year-old center moved back into the starting lineup coming out of the All-Star break, and while he remains inconsistent, he has seen a slight uptick in his production. During that 10-game stretch, Carter is averaging 9.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 combined blocks and steals in 27.6 minutes a contest.

Collins contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Pacers.

Nikola Vucevic came off the bench during his return from a seven-game absence streak due to a calf injury, but head coach Billy Donovan said after the game that he would "eventually" return to the starting lineup, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. That's bad news for Collins' value, but his fantasy managers may want to hold him until that actually happens. Over his last eight outings, Collins has averaged 14.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.
