Wagner notched 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to Boston.

Despite scoring at least 20 points for the second straight game, Wagner appeared to be limited down the stretch. He was seen with his head in his hands on the bench, seemingly bothered by an injury. He also received treatment on his knee but was forced to close the game given the situation. With Sunday's loss, Orlando will now travel to Philadelphia for the first game of the Play-In Tournament, where the winner will advance to face the Celtics.

Carlson totaled 26 points (10-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five blocks, two steals and one assist over 42 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 loss to the Suns.

With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jaylin Williams (Achilles) inactive, Carlson started his second consecutive game and excelled, recording his second double-double in as many outings. It marked season-best totals for the Utah product in points, blocks and three-pointers made. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.6 minutes across 42 appearances (four starts).

Maluach contributed 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 win over the Thunder.

With Mark Williams (foot) inactive, Maluach saw extended playing time and made an impact in the interior, recording his first career double-double at the NBA level. It's been a quiet, developmental rookie campaign for the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, as he'll close the regular season averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes across 46 appearances with the Suns.

Mitchell chipped in 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 143-117 victory over the Hawks.

Mitchell converted both of his three-point attempts, ripped away a steal and committed only one turnover in his 26 minutes of floor time. The 27-year-old point guard will end the season with averages of 9.3 points, 6.5 assists (career-high), 1.3 triples and 1.0 steals per game on 49/39/65 shooting splits.

Jaquez recorded 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and five assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 143-117 victory over the Hawks.

Jaquez caught fire to close the season, pouring in 64 points and seven triples while shooting an efficient 28-for-40 from the field and 7-for-12 from beyond the arc over Miami's final three games. He'll look to carry that momentum into Tuesday's Play-In matchup against the Hornets.

Dunn totaled 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 victory over the Thunder.

Dunn exploded in his second straight start, scoring a season-best 20 points in a blowout road victory. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.4 minutes across 70 appearances (16 starts). Despite the strong showing Sunday, Dunn is likely to see a decrease in playing time in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Trail Blazers or beyond if the Suns advance deeper into the postseason.

Adebayo finished with 25 points (11-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 143-117 victory over the Hawks.

Adebayo came out firing for Miami, pouring in 17 points on just 10 shots in the first half while also making an impact on the glass. It marked his 35th double-double of the season, and he closed his 2025-26 campaign with double-doubles in 10 of his final 13 games.

Hield provided 31 points (12-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 143-117 loss to Miami.

With Atlanta resting most of its starters, Hield saw a massive spike in usage and took advantage of the increased opportunity. He set season highs in points and three-pointers made, and he finished with a pristine effective-field-goal percentage of 86.1.

Newell provided 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 39 minutes during Sunday's 143-117 loss to the Heat.

Newell impressed in his second career start, matching his career high in points while pulling down a career-best 11 rebounds. It was just the second double-double of his career, and his second-best offensive rebounding effort of the season.

Kispert closed Sunday's 143-117 loss to the Heat with 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes.

Kispert played well in the spot start, and his usage rate spiked to 21.1 with Atlanta resting their usual starters. Kispert has been a solid addition to the Hawks with averages of 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 triples per game on 46/35/81 shooting splits.
