Leonard amassed 34 points (11-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 win over the Mavericks.

Although the Clippers blew a huge lead, Leonard's productive night saved the day and powered the team to a critical victory. Leonard has been superb since returning from a one-game absence, averaging 27.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over the past nine games. Leonard needs to attend the final three games to qualify for postseason awards, as he's currently three games short with 62 games played.

Vucevic accumulated two points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 victory over Charlotte.

Vucevic continues to play a backup role for his new team, failing to produce anything of note since returning from injury. In 14 games as a Celtic, he has averaged 9.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per contest. However, although he has been well below his best, managers may want to consider him for streaming purposes, given Neemias Queta appeared to suffer a hand injury during the win. If Queta misses time, Vucevic could very well find himself in the starting lineup.

Pritchard racked up 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets.

Pritchard scored double digits for the 12th straight game, albeit only just. With Boston now mostly healthy, Pritchard has reverted to a bench role, although his playing time still reflects that of a starter. While he hasn't necessarily taken any major steps forward this season, Pritchard has become a reliable producer, averaging 16.9 points, 5.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers through 77 games.

White chipped in 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets.

White continues to serve as the third or fourth option on offense, having attempted no more than seven shot attempts in three of the past four games. A recent lack of defensive production has only added to White's overall decline, as he sits outside the top 150 in seven games over the past two weeks.

Connaughton ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in two minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

Connaughton failed to score yet again, continuing what has been a season full of disappointment. In fact, the casual NBA fan could be forgiven for not even realizing that he is still in the league. In 41 appearances, Connaughton has averaged just 2.7 points in 7.1 minutes per game.

Green had three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across seven minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

Green played no more than seven minutes for the third time in the past four games, having seemingly moved to the fringe of the rotation. Despite a small amount of defensive upside, Green's lack of offensive versatility makes him a non-factor on that end of the floor.

Diabate notched two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

Diabate underwhelmed again, continuing a rough couple of weeks. In seven appearances during that time, he has averaged just 5.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals. While his role as the starting center is safe, his lack of offensive upside could be an issue during the playoffs.

The Pistons waived Klintman on Tuesday.

The 2024 second-rounder will have to explore other opportunities after being let go by the Pistons. Klintman appeared in just 12 regular-season games for Detroit this season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.9 minutes per contest.

Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers and did not return, finishing with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three steals and two rebounds across 20 minutes.

Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what the 28-year-old forward is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

While it's unclear exactly why he headed back to the locker room, Marshall contested a shot and took a hard fall before limping off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.
