Lakers' Austin Reaves: Flirts with double-double in win
Reaves had 19 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over Washington.
With Luka Doncic (suspension) out, Reaves delivered a solid line, although he finished behind LeBron James' triple-double. Despite failing to realize his projected value in the shorthanded backcourt, Reaves has proved to be an invaluable asset in the team's red-hot results over the past two weeks. He's averaged 21.7 points, 5.9 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in March.

Luke Kennard SG | PHO
Lakers' Luke Kennard: Pours in 19 points from bench
Kennard logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over the Wizards.
With Luka Doncic (suspension) and Marcus Smart (ankle) absent, Kennard had a perfect opportunity to contribute, and he delivered with his second-highest scoring total of the season. The Lakers have been running with a shallow rotation, and although the offense doesn't always flow in his direction, he'll be one of the first guys off the bench on a nightly basis.

LeBron James PF | PHI
Lakers' LeBron James: Drops triple-double on Wizards
James posted 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one block across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over Washington.
With Luka Doncic (suspension) out, James dazzled with a dynamic triple-double and powered the team to a convincing victory. James' role on the offense has diminished with Doncic running the show, but the former showed he can turn back the clock and take control.

Cooper Flagg SF | DAL
Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Scores 12 points on 19 shots
Flagg ended Monday's 124-94 loss to Minnesota with 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 31 minutes.
Flagg was coming off a 24-point performance in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday, but he took a huge step back on offense with a subpar shooting effort. The rookie out of Duke failed to reach the 15-point mark for the first time since March 12, and that goes to show just how consistent he's been on offense for a struggling Dallas team. He remains one of the odds-on favorites for the Rookie of the Year award, although he's in a tight race with Kon Knueppel for those honors.

Brandon Williams PG | GS
Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Williams accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.
Williams has been a steady contributor off the bench for the Mavericks, and he's scored in double digits in all but one of his 17 appearances since the All-Star break. The bench role limits his upside a bit, but Williams can fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood, so he's a valuable option to target in most formats if he's available.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Nears double-double Monday
Gafford ended with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.
Gafford was nearly perfect from the floor, but he would've had an even better scoring performance had he been more accurate from the charity stripe. Gafford looked impressive in his return from a two-game absence, and given that he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, he should remain a reliable fantasy asset in the final two weeks of the regular season.

Donte DiVincenzo SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Fills stat sheet in win
DiVincenzo ended with 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 124-94 win over the Mavericks.
DiVincenzo has drained exactly five three-pointers in three straight games. He has drained multiple threes in six games in a row, although he's failed to hit double-digit scoring twice in that stretch. DiVincenzo's ability as a reliable three-point shooter is huge for the Timberwolves, and his ability to stretch the floor is quite an asset while playing alongside players who command a ton of attention from opposing defenses, such as Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.
-
Anthony Edwards SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scores 17 points in return
Edwards amassed 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes during Monday's 124-94 win over Dallas.
Edwards didn't start Monday's game but checked in early in the first quarter, but since this was a blowout victory, he only played 23 minutes and posted a decent stat line. Edwards should recover his role as the Timberwolves' No. 1 option on offense as soon as Thursday when Minnesota takes on the Pistons in a tough matchup.
-
Julius Randle PF | BKN
Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Leads Minnesota to victory
Randle ended with 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 124-94 victory over the Mavericks.
Even though Anthony Edwards returned in this win over the Mavs, Randle was the scoring leader for Minnesota once again. The veteran forward has scored over 20 points in just two of his last five appearances, and while he's a proven scoring threat, his numbers are expected to take a hit now that Edwards is back in the mix. Look for Randle to operate as the Timberwolves' No. 2 offensive option moving forward.

Keldon Johnson SF | SA
Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Goes for 15 points off bench
Johnson provided 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 129-114 victory over the Bulls.
Johnson has been relegated to being a bench scorer this season, but the veteran forward has filled that role to perfection. This was his fifth consecutive game with at least 15 points, and even though his bench role limits his upside a bit, Johnson often scores enough to remain a valuable fantasy asset across all formats. He's scored at least 15 points in seven of his 15 contests this month.
