    Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Compiles 18 points in win

    Fox accumulated 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers.

    Fox went scoreless beyond the arc but still managed to get 18 points thanks to six converted shots and a perfect night at the charity stripe. The battle for fantasy supremacy went to Stephon Castle in the win, although Fox has bested his teammate with more frequency in recent weeks. He's in the midst of a productive month, averaging 19.2 points, 7.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds over the past nine games.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Racks up another double-double

    Wembanyama registered 21 points (9-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers.

    Wembanyama struggled a bit with his perimeter shot but was otherwise impressive in the victory. He seemed to show no ill effects from the ankle injury that forced a one-game absence last week. Although he underperformed over a two-game span in late February, he's compiled six double-doubles since the brief downturn.

  • Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Posts 16 points in loss

    Mathurin amassed 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to San Antonio.

    Mathurin was expected to see increased usage during Kawhi Leonard's (ankle) absence, but the former's total wasn't enough to overcome a productive night from the Spurs. Mathurin snapped an impressive five-game streak of 20-plus point performances. He'll try to renew that streak on the road for a two-game set against the Pelicans.

  • Amen Thompson SG | HOU

    Rockets' Amen Thompson: Logs double-double in defeat

    Thompson finished Monday's 100-92 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one block across 41 minutes.

    Although Thompson finished with a quality line, Alperen Sengun's (back) absence had a significant impact on Houston's effectiveness on both sides of the ball. Thompson has played solid ball over the past five games, averaging 20.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

  • John Collins PF | DET

    Clippers' John Collins: Sniffs double-double in loss

    Collins finished Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes.

    Collins was one rebound shy of a double-double in the defeat. His playing time was restricted again, although his minutes increased by six over the previous contest, when he returned from a seven-game absence. Collins could also see a boost in the short term if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is forced to miss extended time.

  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Will play Tuesday

    Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune.

    Reid is battling a right shoulder contusion, but the issue won't stop him from playing the first half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. The big man has averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.4 minutes per game over his last six contests, and Reid should see a bump in usage due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee).

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Grabs 11 rebounds in victory

    Ayton amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 100-92 victory over the Rockets.

    Although his scoring was successfully contained, Ayton had a clear advantage on the glass due to Alperen Sengun (back) being out of commission. The result snapped a short double-double streak that Ayton was building, which was aided by a five-game average of 10.0 rebounds per game.

  • Trae Young PG | WAS

    Wizards' Trae Young: Won't play Tuesday

    Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Young will be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set after leaving Monday's loss to the Warriors early following a collision with Will Richard. Young was able to leave under his own power, but the Wizards are expected to be extremely cautious with their new point guard the rest of the way. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.

  • Leaky Black SF | SAC

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Remains out

    Black (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Black will miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Tuesday

    Coulibaly (heel) won't play Tuesday against Detroit.

    Coulibaly is going to be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The forward produced 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors. Jamir Watkins and Will Riley could see a bump in minutes as a result Tuesday.
