Larsson closed with 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 119-109 win over the 76ers.

Larsson continues to quietly put together a breakout season, recording his first double-double of the campaign. Although his season-long rank has him outside the top 200 players, there is an argument to be made for him being a must-roster player, given his role. In 16 games over the past month, he has averaged 30.6 minutes per contest, during which he has put up 13.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers.

Grimes contributed 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Heat.

Grimes logged 32 minutes in the loss, continuing to play a meaningful role despite the fact that Philadelphia is running with a relatively injury-free rotation. While it does appear as though he could flirt with 28 minutes per game moving forward, his fantasy value is likely to be limited to streaming, as opposed to being a must-roster player.

Edwards accumulated no statistics while playing the final 36.1 seconds of the first quarter in Monday's 119-109 loss to the Heat.

Edwards' spot in the rotation basically disappeared, continuing a downward trend in his minutes over the past three games since he was moved to the bench last Wednesday. Prior to that, Edwards had started in seven consecutive games and averaged 15.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest. His diminishing role has coincided with the 76ers getting all of Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre and Joel Embiid back from long-term absences within the past three games.

Oubre ended with 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to Miami.

Oubre recorded just his fifth double-double of the season, albeit one with very little in the way of supporting stats. While the minutes were encouraging, Oubre's upside is limited at the moment, given the fact that Philadelphia is mostly healthy. In two games since returning from injury, Oubre has averaged 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Embiid said after Monday's 119-109 loss to the Heat that he played through an illness, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. He finished with 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes.

Embiid didn't look quite himself during Monday's game and acknowledged afterward that he was feeling under the weather. He'll have Tuesday off to rest before Philadelphia's next game Wednesday in Washington. Embiid can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Dosunmu tallied 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, 12 assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 124-94 win over Dallas.

Dosunmu led the Timberwolves in rebounds, assists and steals on the way to his first triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign. He didn't look any worse for wear after missing his team's last two games due to a right calf injury and managed to tackle a full workload in the victory. Dosunmu is averaging 18.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists and and 1.4 steals over his last five appearances.

Herro accumulated 30 points (12-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Monday's 119-109 victory over the 76ers.

Herro dragged the Heat to a win and got it done on both ends of the court in the fourth quarter. He recorded both of his blocks in the final four minutes of play and tacked on 12 fourth-quarter points. Herro has put up 30 or more points in back-to-back games, and he set a new season high in blocks Monday.

Brooks (hand) is set to return in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brooks hasn't played since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, though he returned to 5-on-5 work Saturday and is trending toward returning to game action Tuesday. The 30-year-old forward's return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming. Over 50 regular-season appearances, Brooks is averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Wembanyama supplied 41 points (17-27 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes in Monday's 129-114 win over the Bulls.

Wembanyama exploited a favorable matchup against 6-foot-7 fellow Frenchman Guerschon Yabusele, who got the starting nod at center for the shorthanded Bulls. Wembanyama put up a season-high 27 field-goal attempts en route to a season-high 41 points, and he has now scored at least 20 in five of the last six games. The star big man also grabbed a game-best 16 rebounds, securing his fourth straight double-double with 15-plus boards. Additionally, Wembanyama was productive from beyond the arc following a seven-game stretch in which he shot just 22.5 percent from downtown.

Booker contributed 36 points (16-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds across 26 minutes in Monday's 131-106 win over the Grizzlies.

Booker turned in an extremely efficient outing and required only three quarters to score a game-high 36 points against the banged-up Grizzlies. Additionally, the star guard had a bounce-back performance from beyond the arc after shooting 2-for-9 from three-point range over the previous two games. The Kentucky product was also productive as a distributor, dishing out at least five assists for a sixth straight game. During that stretch, Booker has averaged 24.2 points, 6.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds per showing.
