Buzelis amassed 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 victory over the Bucks.

The second-year forward reached 20 points for a third straight game while making an impact at the defensive end once again. Over his last 11 games, Buzelis is averaging 18.2 points, 5.9 boards, 3.1 threes, 2.3 assists and 1.9 blocks.

Sexton provided 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 32 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-97 win over the Bucks.

The 22 points led all scorers on the afternoon as Sexton put together his best offensive showing in nine games (two starts) since joining the Bulls. During that stretch, the 27-year-old guard is averaging 12.9 points, 2.2 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 threes in 23.7 minutes.

Da Silva posted 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

The 19 points were da Silva's most since the Nov. 14 win over the Nets. The second-year forward is a player to consider as a streamer in deep leagues for as long as Franz Wagner (ankle) remains on the shelf. Da Silva has started five consecutive contests, averaging 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 34.1 minutes per game.

Giddey supplied 20 points (7-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 win over Milwaukee.

The triple-double was Giddey's eighth of the season, a new career high, and his 15th in a Chicago jersey -- tying Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen for second on the franchise's all-time list. Giddey played more than 30 minutes for the first time since returning after the All-Star break from a hamstring strain, and his workload restriction appears to have been lifted. Before initially suffering the hamstring injury just after Christmas -- he returned for four games in late January but was then shut down again -- Giddey had been averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists, 8.9 boards, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals over his first 30 contests this season.

Harris amassed 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Magic.

Fresh of collecting a career-high six steals during Friday's victory over the Cavaliers, Harris kept his foot on the gas. Sunday was his first 20-point game since the Jan. 27 win in Denver and his seventh on the campaign. Over his last nine outings, the veteran forward is averaging 12.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.8 minutes per game.

Green racked up 13 points (4-11 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 loss to the Bulls.

The fourth-year wing led all Milwaukee starters in scoring during the rout. Green has drained multiple three-pointers in four straight games and 10 of the last 12, but he doesn't offer much else but long-range shooting -- over that latter stretch, he's averaging just 11.3 points, 3.3 threes, 2.7 boards and 2.1 assists.

Portis finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-97 loss to the Bulls.

The veteran big led the Bucks in scoring on the afternoon, as none of the team's starters managed more than 13 points. Portis has scored in double digits in four straight games and eight of the last 10, averaging 13.6 points, 5.2 boards, 2.1 threes and 0.8 assists in 21.9 minutes as one of the key pieces of Milwaukee's second unit.

Thompson accumulated nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Magic.

Thompson's playing time remains inconsistent, but he was still able to stuff the stat sheet Sunday. The 2023 first-rounder could remain at risk of losing minutes to Ronald Holland or Caris LeVert late in games when the Pistons need more scoring, but Thompson is locked into a starting role. Over his past six outings, he's averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 27.6 minutes per game.

Cunningham closed with 29 points (11-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Magic.

The double-double was the All-Star point guard's 33rd through 53 games in 2025-26. Cunningham is riding a six-game double-double streak, averaging 26.5 points, 11.2 assists, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.8 blocks in 35.9 minutes per tilt during this stretch. Although the MVP race is likely to come down to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic, Cunningham is certainly worthy of some consideration.

Thompson won't return to Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right adductor contusion.

Thompson sustained the injury in the second quarter before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. He concludes the contest with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and one assist in 14 minutes.
