Doncic closed with 27 points (10-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 victory over New Orleans.

Doncic and Austin Reaves spurred a fourth-quarter rally that erased the team's deficit. The Pelicans held a size advantage during critical points in the game, forcing Doncic to play more in the post. He converted only three of his 10 three-point attempts, but he drained them when it counted the most. He should enjoy his usual elite production in the upcoming All-Star clash against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

Ighodaro produced 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.

Ighodaro has now secured three double-doubles since Feb. 10 and has shown that he can produce across the board. He set a new season high in rebounds Tuesday and posted his best scoring night since Jan. 2, when he put up 15 points against Sacramento. Ighodaro is averaging 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over his last six games.

Smart recorded 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three blocks in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 victory over New Orleans.

Smart has excelled on the defensive end of the court in his last two games, racking up nine steals and three blocks in back-to-back wins. He also dished out seven dimes Tuesday, which is his best showing in the assist category since Jan. 2 against Memphis. Smart continues to have trouble contributing offensively, but he's at least producing at a high level on the opposite end.

Thompson totaled 16 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Cavaliers.

It was the seventh time this season that Thompson recorded at least four steals in a game, five of which have come since Jan. 19. He's logged at least two steals in six of his last seven outings and finished Tuesday's game as Detroit's third-leading scorer behind Jalen Duren (24 points) and Tobias Harris (19 points). Thompson has averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 28.1 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Ingram closed with 31 points (11-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to New York.

Ingram scored 30 or more points for the ninth time this season and continued his sharp shooting Tuesday night. He's hitting at a clip of 51.8 percent from the field over his last three outings, and he drilled three treys after after sinking just one in his previous two appearances. Ingram is averaging 22.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists over his last five games.

Cunningham finished Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (4-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes.

It was the fifth time this season that Cunningham logged at least 14 assists in a game, but the fifth-year pro struggled with his shot all night and barely cracked double digits in the scoring column. Regardless of his struggles from the floor Tuesday, Cunningham is still putting together a strong, All-NBA-caliber season. He has averaged 24.5 points, 10.3 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 threes, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks over 34.2 minutes per game since Feb. 1.

Bryant amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Detroit.

Bryant has come off the bench in each of his 45 appearances this season and is averaging 10.8 minutes per game. He put together respectable numbers Tuesday and came through with his first outing with multiple three-pointers since Feb. 7. The veteran center could be called upon to take on a larger role after Jarrett Allen left in the third quarter due to a right knee injury, though Allen will have some extra time to recover before the Cavaliers' next game Sunday versus the Celtics.

Tyson had 22 points (8-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.

With Donovan Mitchell missing a fourth consecutive game due to a groin injury, Tyson stepped up with a team-high 22 points while connecting on five triples, his most in a game since Jan. 16 against the 76ers (seven). The second-year pro has done an admirable job in stepping into a larger role following his rookie season, when he averaged just 9.6 minutes per game while serving in a bench role. Tyson has averaged 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.5 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Williams posted 18 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Williams remained in the starting five for a third straight game and led all Dallas players in scoring, albeit in a blowout loss. While he wasn't extremely efficient from the field, the 26-year-old point guard got to the charity stripe often and finished with double-digit points for an eighth consecutive contest. Williams has provided a spark both in the starting five and off the bench recently, though he'll likely see fewer minutes once Cooper Flagg (foot) and Naji Marshall (finger) return to the lineup.

Powell recorded 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

With Marvin Bagley (neck) unavailable for a third straight game, Powell saw significant minutes off the bench once again. He led the second unit in points Tuesday, scoring in double figures for the second time over that three-game span. The veteran center is likely to continue seeing 20-plus minutes of action as Daniel Gafford's primary backup for as long as Bagley is sidelined.
