Dunn went back to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to an apparent head injury, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Dunn appeared to get hit with an inadvertent elbow from Pelicans player Karlo Matkovic before heading back to the locker room, grabbing at his head and neck area. Considering the injury occurred in the latter portion of a lopsided contest, it would be surprising if Dunn returns to the game, leaving extra minutes for Bennedict Mathurin.

Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 30 points (12-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and four steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 win over the Mavericks.

Gilgeous-Alexander put together another impressive performance Sunday, posting game-high totals in points and steals. His four steals were his most in a game since Dec. 31. In two games since returning from a nine-game absence due to an abdominal strain, Gilgeous-Alexander appears to have not lost a step, as he has averaged 33.0 points, 7.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.5 minutes per contest.

Queta went for 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-10 FT), 17 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 win over the 76ers.

Queta was dominant down low Sunday, racking up a career-high 27 points on incredible efficiency and adding a game-high 17 rebounds. Queta also held it down defensively, posting a game-high three blocks and contributing a steal. The big man has logged three double-doubles over his last five games, averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Wolf logged 23 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 106-102 loss to the Cavaliers.

The 23 points were a new career high for the rookie forward. Wolf is still predictably showing some inconsistency, but he's scored in double digits in eight of the last 11 games (one start), averaging 12.5 points, 5.4 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.4 combined blocks and steals in 22.4 minutes over that stretch.

Porter closed with 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 loss to Cleveland.

The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the afternoon, but only three other Nets even scored in double digits. Porter has been productive since missing the last two games before the All-Star break with knee tendinitis, and over the last six games he's averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.2 steals.

Allen contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 victory over the Nets.

The 27-year-old center has scored at least 20 points in three straight games and eight of 12 since the beginning of February. Over that span, Allen is averaging 22.1 points, 11.1 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals.

Mobley ended Sunday's 106-102 win over Brooklyn with 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes.

It's his second straight double-double and 19th of the season. Mobley is still getting rested on the second game of back-to-backs as he rounds into form following a calf injury, and over five games since returning to the lineup he's averaging 15.4 points, 8.6 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 threes a contest.

Suggs closed with 14 points (4-17 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

After logging just 13 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to Houston, Suggs returned to his typical spot in the starting lineup and doubled up on his playing time. The 2021 first-rounder has been in and out of the Orlando lineup all year long, but it seems like he's ready to handle his usual workload going forward. Over his last eight appearances, Suggs has averaged 12.0 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocks in 26.2 minutes per game.

Harden (thumb) chipped in 22 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 win over the Nets.

The 22 points led the Cavaliers on the afternoon, and Harden's near triple-double was even more impressive considering he's playing through a fractured right thumb that had sidelined him for the previous two games. The veteran guard has scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 19.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.1 boards and 3.0 three-pointers over that stretch.

Banchero totaled 24 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

The All-Star forward is now up to 19 double-doubles for the year, with Sunday's being his third in his past five games. With Franz Wagner tending to a high-ankle sprain, Banchero should continue to take on all the usage he can handle. Across his last six outings, Banchero has averaged 25.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 38.3 minutes per game.
