  • Anthony Gill PF | WAS

    Wizards' Anthony Gill: Ties season scoring high

    Gill posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.

    The 13 points tied his season high, a mark he reached Feb. 19 against the Pacers. Gill hadn't topped six points in any of his prior six games, however, and the 33-year-old forward's role and usage in the Wizards' rotation isn't likely to become more consistent any time soon. Through nine games (one start) in March, Gill is averaging just 5.6 points, 3.4 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 22.3 minutes.

  • Bub Carrington PG | WAS

    Wizards' Bub Carrington: Pops for 19 against OKC

    Carrington accumulated 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.

    Making his third straight start, Carrington had another strong performance from beyond the arc. With Trae Young (quadriceps/back) looking like he might be done for the season, Carrington's spot in the starting five seems secure, and during his current three-start run he's averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 boards, 3.7 threes and 3.0 assists while shooting 59.0 percent from the floor and 52.4 percent (11-for-21) from beyond the arc.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Drops team-high 21 in loss

    Coulibaly produced 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.

    The 21 points led the Wizards, as Coulibaly made his return from a two-game absence due to a heel issue. The third-year forward has topped 20 points in four of nine March appearances, averaging 16.0 points, 4.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks on the month.

  • Jared McCain PG | OKC

    Thunder's Jared McCain: Hits for 18 in Saturday's win

    McCain closed with 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 132-111 win over Washington.

    It's the third time in the last four games that McCain has delivered at least 15 points, The second-year guard has been a fairly consistent threat from long distance in March, draining at least three three-pointers in six of the last nine games while averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 threes, 1.8 boards and 0.8 assists in 19.1 minutes and shooting 44.8 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-double in DC

    Holmgren accumulated 18 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 victory over the Wizards.

    The double-double was Holmgren's second in five games since returning from an illness that cost him two contests in early March, and his 22nd of the season -- one shy of the career high he set as a rookie in 2023-24. Over 12 appearances since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old big is averaging 16.4 points, 10.2 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.1 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Appealing one-game ban

    The Lakers filed an appeal on Doncic's behalf to rescind the 16th technical foul of the season that the point guard was assessed during Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Doncic and the Magic's Goga Bitadze both drew technicals with 1:19 remaining in the third quarter, when the two players exchanged words while Doncic was shooting a free throw. The league is expected to further review the incident in question, but unless the technical is rescinded, Doncic will serve a one-game suspension during Monday's contest in Detroit. In the event of a Doncic absence, Austin Reaves would likely slide over to the point guard spot, while players such as Rui Hachimura, Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard could all be called upon to handle larger roles.

  • Isaiah Stevens PG | CHI

    Kings' Isaiah Stevens: Out Sunday with sore ankle

    The Kings list Stevens out for Sunday's game against the Nets due to right ankle soreness.

    The two-way player hasn't made an appearance for Sacramento since the All-Star break, so he presumably sustained the injury during his most recent game in the G League with the Stockton Kings on Saturday. Over his three appearances at the NBA level on the season, Stevens is averaging 3.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 rebounds in 14.3 minutes.

  • Taurean Prince SF | DET

    Bucks' Taurean Prince: Offers little despite start

    Prince contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Prince was given the starting nod for just the second time this season, highlighting just how desperate things are in Milwaukee at the moment. Having played seven games since returning from injury, Prince has offered very little on paper. In 18.3 minutes per game during that time, he has averaged just 6.1 points and 1.6 three-pointers.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Grabs 11 boards in win

    Sims totaled five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Sims dominated the glass, hauling in a game-high 11 rebounds off the bench. Milwaukee is dealing with injuries to multiple players, meaning Sims has been thrust into a meaningful role, albeit typically off the bench. With that said, his offensive upside is basically non-existent, meaning he should be considered a rebounds streamer only.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Dominates in victory

    Rollins supplied 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Rollins was easily the best player on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. With Milwaukee down on troops yet again, Rollins did as he has done all season, turning in an elite two-way performance. Despite some curious coaching decisions which have seen him moved to the bench at times, Rollins continues to put his hand up for the Most-Improved Player award. In 68 appearances, he has averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per game.
