Sexton will not return to Sunday's game against the Kings due to a left lower leg contusion, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

Sexton exited at the end of the third quarter during Sunday's contest and will not return. Prior to the injury, he was having an outstanding game, logging 28 points (9-12 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench. The seven made threes marked a new career high. If he is forced to miss time, Rob Dillingham could see some extra run.

McConnell will not return to Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right hamstring soreness.

McConnell exited partway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest and will not be able to return. It should be mentioned that McConnell has been dealing with a right hamstring issue for some time now, most recently missing a game Feb. 22. If he is forced to miss time, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson could see increased minutes.

Adebayo amassed 24 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 win over the Pistons.

Adebayo fell one board short of what would've been his 26th double-double of the campaign. The six dimes were the star big man's most since the Jan. 28 loss to Orlando, and Adebayo is riding a six-game streak with at least 20 points. During this span, Adebayo has averaged 24.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 34.0 minutes per game.

Jaquez logged 19 points (6-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 win over the Pistons.

Jaquez continues to deliver off the bench for the Heat, scoring at least 18 points for the fifth time in his past six games. During this span, the forward has averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes per game while shooting 47.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Larsson ended Sunday's 121-110 win over the Pistons with 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes.

Between all the absences among Miami's wing and backcourt players of late, Larsson has managed to start each of his appearances since Jan. 15. The swingman should continue to start until the Heat get either Andrew Wiggins (toe) or Norman Powell (groin) back in the fold. Over his last nine outings, Larsson has averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 31.2 minutes per game.

Reed registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over six minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

With Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart both back in the fold for the Pistons, Reed is back to being buried as the third-string center on the depth chart. Reed has appeared in just two of Detroit's last four contests, and all of his production Sunday came in the fourth quarter of a blowout. He's averaging 8.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 13.6 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 58.5 percent from the field.

Green produced six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Despite the absence of Ausar Thompson (ankle) and Caris LeVert (wrist), Green hasn't been able to claim a more prominent role. As a result, Green remains off the radar in most fantasy leagues, averaging only 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 15.2 minutes per contest in his last nine games while shooting 37.2 percent from the floor during this stretch.

Huerter accumulated four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to Miami.

After falling out of the Detroit rotation recently, Huerter has made his way back into the lineup for three consecutive games. The veteran sharpshooter's return to the mix appears to have gone hand-in-hand with the absence of Ausar Thompson, who's considered day-to-day with a right ankle sprain. Through eight contests since landing with Detroit, Huerter has averaged just 4.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.6 minutes per game.

Harris contributed nine points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and two blocks across 24 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to Miami.

Sunday disrupted a five-game streak with double-digit points for Harris, who did swat multiple shots for just the second time this year. The veteran forward remains a solid fantasy option in nine-category formats -- Harris has averaged 15.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 assists per game in his last six contests, shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 94.7 percent from the foul line during this period.

Barrett racked up 31 points (13-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 victory over the Mavericks.

Barrett was hot from the jump, dropping in 16 points on 10 shots by halftime, and he essentially got whatever he wanted throughout the game. He's been heating up over the past four, scoring 24.3 points per game on 63.9 percent shooting from the field and 62.5 percent at the stripe to go with 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 triples per contest.
