Wallace provided four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over Dallas.

Wallace has been trending in the wrong direction since putting up 27 points in a win over the Thunder on Feb. 24, and he's failed to surpass the 10-point threshold in his last two contests. Wallace should remain a decent fantasy option as long as he remains in a starting role, and that'll likely be the case until Jalen Williams (hamstring) is ready to play. Wallace is averaging 13.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game in 13 starts since the beginning of February.

Joe recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and five rebounds in 21 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over Dallas.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) back in action, Joe has come off the bench in the Thunder's last two games. While that reduces his fantasy appeal in most formats, he remains a player worth keeping close tabs on due to his ability to get hot at any minute. Joe has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game over that stretch.

Holmgren registered 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over the Mavericks.

Holmgren delivered a bounce-back performance on offense. This 19-point output was his best mark since he recorded 20 points in a win over the Pelicans on Jan. 27, and he finished just one board shy of posting what would've been a second straight double-double. Holmgren is averaging 14.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game since the All-Star break and should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as long as Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains on the shelf.

Drummond produced 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.

Drummond got the start Sunday due to the absence of Joel Embiid (oblique), and the veteran big man made his presence felt with his second double-double since the All-Star break. Drummond's playing time is directly tied to Embiid's availability, so while he can be a solid contributor in most formats when he gets enough playing time, he's a solid streaming option at best if Embiid is healthy in most games. Drummond is averaging 8.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game as a starter compared to 4.9 points and 6.5 boards per contest when coming off the bench.

Edgecombe registered 23 points (8-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to Boston.

Edgecombe needed 21 shots to score 23 points, but the rookie continues to show he has already adjusted well to life at the next level. Firmly entrenched in a starting role alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt, Edgecombe has scored at least 20 points in four of his six appearances since the All-Star break while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor. The subpar shooting display was simply an outlier.

Portland signed Youngblood to a two-way contract Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Youngblood has been a standout player for the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League. With this move, Youngblood is now likely to become a featured player for the Rip City Remix, but he may get some NBA looks with the Trail Blazers as well.

Maxey racked up 33 points (12-34 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 43 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.

Maxey was present all over the court for a 76ers team that was missing Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension), but not even this impressive line was enough to avoid a 14-point defeat. Maxey remains on fire and has scored at least 27 points in each of his six games since the All-Star break, averaging 31.2 points but only shooting 41 percent from the floor in that stretch.

Wesley finished with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 20 minutes during Sunday's 135-101 loss to the Hawks.

Wesley continues to play a modest role off Portland's bench. Over his last five games, he's seeing 11.7 minutes per contest with 6.0 points and 1.8 assists on 47.8 percent shooting from the field. He's miles off the fantasy radar.

Camara accumulated nine points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 135-101 loss to the Hawks.

Despite sizable workloads on a nightly basis, Camara continues to have limited fantasy appeal in Portland. Across 62 appearances, he's averaging 33.5 minutes per contest with 13.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 68.5 percent from the line.

Johnson (ankle) said after Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves that he's not optimistic about his chances of playing Monday in Utah, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Johnson was limited to 23 minutes Sunday before checking out of the contest for good with 7:50 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a sore right ankle. Heading into the contest, Johnson had been listed as probable due to right ankle inflammation, so he seemingly aggravated the injury Sunday. For his part, Johnson doesn't believe the ankle issue will be a long-term concern, as he believes that exploring different shoes and orthotic inserts will help resolve the matter. Assuming Johnson ends up sitting out Monday, the Nuggets could have more minutes available for the likes of Spencer Jones (shoulder), Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett.
