Powell logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 win over the Kings.

Powell and Nolan Traore combined for 33 points as the Nets improved to 18-57 on the season. Although this was a step in the right direction, Powell remains difficult to trust with averages of 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes over his last seven games.

The Hornets assigned Salaun (calf) to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

The 2024 first-round pick hasn't made an appearance for the Hornets or the Swarm since March 3 while on the mend from a left calf strain, but his assignment to the G League indicates that he'll likely practice with the affiliate Monday and potentially return to action in its playoff opener Tuesday versus the Maine Celtics. Salaun will likely rejoin the Hornets once the Swarm's playoff run comes to an end, but he's not expected to be a regular part of the rotation when Charlotte is at full strength.

Agbaji notched 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound across 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 victory over the Kings.

This was certainly an outlier performance from Agbaji, as the Nets continue to give different roles on almost a nightly basis. Over his last seven games, Agbaji is averaging 18.5 minutes with 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 38.6 percent shooting from the field.

Jeffries amassed 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 loss to the Nets.

With DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) sidelined, Jeffries was able to step into a large role off the bench. Jeffries, who is on a 10-day contract, has fared well in three appearances with 10.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes per contest.

Carter contributed 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 loss to the Nets.

With Russell Westbrook (toe) without a timetable and the Kings sitting Malik Monk (shoulder) and DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) Sunday, Carter was able to start and soak up a ton of usage. Across six starts this season, Carter has fared well with 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 three-pointers on 42.0 percent shooting.

Sheppard racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 135-118 win over Miami.

The Pacers continue to mix up their lineups with nothing but lottery balls in play down the stretch. Ethan Thompson and Quenton Jackson started on the wings, but Sheppard logged more minutes than both. Even so, he may be difficult to trust in the final couple of weeks outside of very deep formats.

Potter finished Sunday's 135-118 win over the Heat with 21 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 20 minutes.

Potter was an obvious standout for the Pacers off the bench, and he continues to trend in the right direction. Over his last five games, he's averaging 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers on 63.0 percent shooting from the field in 18.5 minutes per contest.

Brown finished Sunday's 135-118 victory over the Heat with 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes.

Although Jalen Slawson started over him, Brown still played a significant role and had 33 minutes compared to 16 for Slawson. Brown has picked up some momentum as a deep-league streamer, posting averages of 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per contest.

Mitchell had 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 135-118 loss to Indiana.

This was a strong effort from Mitchell, but the Heat were unable to grab this win against the struggling Pacers and fell to 39-36 on the season. Mitchell is on pace to finish just outside the top-150 players in nine-category formats on a per-game basis with 9.0 points, 6.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers.

Wiggins ended with 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 135-118 loss to the Pacers.

Wiggins put together an all-around performance in terms of counting stats, though he did shoot the ball quite poorly. Across 61 appearances this season, Wiggins holds averages of 15.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers on 47.5 percent shooting from the field.
