Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 47 points (12-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 21-25 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Monday's 114-110 overtime victory over the Pistons.

Gilgeous-Alexander made a living at the charity stripe Monday, which is where he added 21 of his 47 points. The reigning MVP appeared to have hit the game-winning shot with seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but the bucket was waived off due to an offensive foul call on Gilgeous-Alexander. The 27-year-old responded by putting up eight points in overtime, which included clutch free throws down the stretch to put the game on ice. Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-plus-point showing marks the third time in 14 March appearances that he's reached the 40-point threshold.

Burton accumulated 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 131-105 loss to Phoenix.

Burton totaled a team-high 17 points despite being deployed off the bench Monday evening. He looked sharp from beyond the arc, where he drilled three triples for a second straight game. Burton has also provided quality effort on the defensive end, recording at least one steal in five consecutive outings.

Jarreau ended with 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 131-105 loss to Phoenix.

Jarreau wasn't afraid to let it fly on the offensive end, and while he wasn't exactly efficient from the field, he managed to end the night in double figures for a second straight game. He reached a season high in minutes Monday, given Memphis' extensive injury report, and he could continue to see opportunities to show what he can do down the stretch of the regular season, as the Grizzlies don't have much to play for.

Ighodaro had 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 131-105 win over Memphis.

Ighodaro continues to provide strong production across the board for the Suns. He's put up 11 or more points in six of his last seven outings and is averaging 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.0 steals during this stretch. Ighodaro should remain in the starting lineup until Mark Williams (foot) is cleared to return.

Ware logged five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 13 minutes during Monday's 119-109 win over the 76ers.

Ware logged no more than 15 minutes for the second straight game, continuing what has been a wildly unpredictable season. Despite being a top-70 player through 71 games, Ware has struggled to carve out a consistent spot in the rotation. For example, in eight games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.1 minutes per contest.

Gillespie amassed 11 points (4-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt), five rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes during Monday's 131-105 victory over the Grizzlies.

Gillespie once again struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end, as he's now 4-for-24 from the field over his last two games. However, he managed to make up for his shooting woes by dishing out double-digit assists for the third time in 74 appearances this season. Gillespie has scored in double figures in six of his last seven showings, and he should continue to receive plenty of chances to turn things around amidst this brief offensive skid.

Larsson closed with 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 119-109 win over the 76ers.

Larsson continues to quietly put together a breakout season, recording his first double-double of the campaign. Although his season-long rank has him outside the top 200 players, there is an argument to be made for him being a must-roster player, given his role. In 16 games over the past month, he has averaged 30.6 minutes per contest, during which he has put up 13.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers.

Grimes contributed 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Heat.

Grimes logged 32 minutes in the loss, continuing to play a meaningful role despite the fact that Philadelphia is running with a relatively injury-free rotation. While it does appear as though he could flirt with 28 minutes per game moving forward, his fantasy value is likely to be limited to streaming, as opposed to being a must-roster player.

Edwards accumulated no statistics while playing the final 36.1 seconds of the first quarter in Monday's 119-109 loss to the Heat.

Edwards' spot in the rotation basically disappeared, continuing a downward trend in his minutes over the past three games since he was moved to the bench last Wednesday. Prior to that, Edwards had started in seven consecutive games and averaged 15.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest. His diminishing role has coincided with the 76ers getting all of Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre and Joel Embiid back from long-term absences within the past three games.

Oubre ended with 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to Miami.

Oubre recorded just his fifth double-double of the season, albeit one with very little in the way of supporting stats. While the minutes were encouraging, Oubre's upside is limited at the moment, given the fact that Philadelphia is mostly healthy. In two games since returning from injury, Oubre has averaged 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.
