Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Questionable for Sunday
Rollins (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
After posting 12 points, four assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Spurs, Rollins is in danger of missing the second half of Milwaukee's back-to-back set. If Rollins joins Kevin Porter (knee) in street clothes, Gary Trent, AJ Green and Ousmane Dieng would be candidates for increased usage in the Bucks' backcourt.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Iffy to play Sunday
Turner is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right patella tendonopathy.
Turner has been playing through a right calf injury as of late but also popped up on the injury report earlier in March due to a knee issue. Sunday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Bucks, and if Turner is unable to play, then Jericho Sims would be the top candidate to enter Milwaukee's starting lineup. Turner played 28 minutes in Saturday's 127-95 loss to the Spurs and finished with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, two blocks, one steal and four three-pointers.

Norman Powell SG | CHI
Heat's Norman Powell: Not playing Sunday
Powell (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to an upper respiratory illness.
Powell was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to back spasms, but the veteran guard is now under the weather and will be sidelined against Indiana. Pelle Larsson figures to be the top candidate to enter the Heat's starting lineup, though Kel'el Ware is another option. Powell's next opportunity to play is Monday against the 76ers.

Kennedy Chandler PG | PHO
Jazz's Kennedy Chandler: Solid bench contribution in defeat
Chandler registered 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 24 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.
Chandler had an opportunity to shine thanks to uninspired performances from Elijah Harkless and Cody Williams. After failing to catch on with Memphis last season, Chandler has found his way into a role with Utah's parent club due to the injuries throughout the Jazz roster. He's averaged 14.5 points and an encouraging 7.2 assists over five games, and he may play his way into a full-time contract next season if he keeps putting up solid numbers.

Brice Sensabaugh SF | UTA
Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Pops for 26 points in loss
Sensabaugh ended with 26 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.
Sensabaugh has made the most of his opportunities during Utah's rash of injuries despite missing a few games over the past couple of weeks. The Ohio State product has logged seven starts this month despite spending most of the season stuck on the depth chart behind Lauri Markkanen (hip) and Ace Bailey. The short-handed situation has significantly heightened Sensabaugh's profile, and he'll likely keep up the production as the season comes to a close.

Kyle Filipowski PF | UTA
Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Flirts with double-double in defeat
Filipowski notched 26 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.
Filipowski fell one rebound shy of a double-double and proved to be one of Utah's only bright spots in the crushing defeat. The Jazz are woefully short-handed, but Filipowski has been a consistent presence following Jusuf Nurkic's (nose) season-ending injury. The door is wide open for the second-year pro to post solid numbers despite the team's fortunes, and he has the inside track for the starting job at center next season.

Grayson Allen SG | CHA
Suns' Grayson Allen: Posts 19 points in cleanup work
Allen registered 19 points (7-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 victory over Utah.
Allen's opportunities increased as the Suns built an insurmountable lead. He spearheaded the bench-clearing effort in the second half and posted the solid total after logging 21 points during the heartbreaking loss to Denver earlier in the week. Allen's recent knee injury didn't appear to be an issue in the game, but he may be on a slight minute restriction Monday night against the Grizzlies.

Devin Booker SG | PHO
Suns' Devin Booker: Pours in 26 points
Booker produced 26 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 victory over Utah.
Booker and teammate Jalen Green inflicted all of their damage in just three quarters, as both of them took a seat and missed the final stanza with the game well in hand. The Suns will need more inspired performances from Booker as they make one final push to claw their way out of the play-in bracket. The All-Star veteran has had a scintillating month of production, averaging 27.9 points, 5.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds over 14 games in March.

Jalen Green SG | PHO
Suns' Jalen Green: Pops for 31 points in blowout
Green supplied 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 win over the Jazz.
Green compiled his brilliant total with only 22 minutes on the court. The Suns elected to sit Green and Devin Booker for the entire fourth quarter with the game well in hand, and the former would have almost certainly eclipsed his season high of 36 points if he had stayed in the game. Although hampered by injury for a sizeable chunk of the season, Green has been productive since returning to action. Over 26 games, he's averaged 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 26.1 minutes per contest.

Cedric Coward SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Drops team-high 24 points
Coward contributed 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and four steals across 24 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 victory over Chicago.
Coward delivered on both ends of the floor, recording a career-high four steals while also scoring at least 20 points for just the sixth time. Although his playing time continues to be slightly underwhelming, he has now suited up in three straight games. The fact that a missed game could be just around the corner is worrying, but for now, he should be held in most leagues.
