  • Ron Harper Jr. SF | BOS

    Celtics' Ron Harper: Leaves for locker room

    Harper exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Hornets due to an apparent right ankle injury, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

    With Derrick White (knee) and Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sidelined, Harper entered the rotation and logged 10 minutes before heading back to the locker room with 7:06 remaining in the second quarter. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

  • Taurean Prince SF | DET

    Bucks' Taurean Prince: Season-best effort Sunday

    Prince produced 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Clippers.

    It was easily Prince's finest effort since coming back from midseason neck surgery and perhaps of the entire season, as the 18 points and eight dimes were both season bests. The Bucks were missing each of Ryan Rollins (hip), Kevin Porter (knee), Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Bobby Portis (wrist) and Myles Turner (knee) on Sunday, so Prince's usage is going to take a hit once some of those names re-enter the fold.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Remains out for Monday

    Williams (foot) remains out for Monday's game against Memphis.

    Williams hasn't played in nearly a month, and although his recent participation in 5-on-5 drills suggests he might be nearing a return, he won't be in the lineup versus Memphis. With the 24-year-old out again, Oso Ighodaro will presumably remain in the starting lineup.

  • Gary Trent Jr. SF | MIL

    Bucks' Gary Trent: Goes off for season-high 36 points

    Trent finished Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Clippers with 36 points (12-21 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes.

    It was easily a season-best showing by Trent, who scored a season-high 36 points while reaching the 30-point marker for the first time this year altogether. The Bucks are without Ryan Rollins (hip), Kevin Porter (knee) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), vacating a ton of usage in the interim. Trent has made consecutive starts and should remain worthy of streaming appeal until Milwaukee gets some reinforcements.

  • Dillon Brooks SF | PHO

    Suns' Dillon Brooks: Won't go Monday

    Brooks (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Brooks has not played in a game since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, but he appears to be nearing a return as he has recently been participating in 5-on-5 work. His next chance to suit up comes Tuesday against the Magic.

  • Suns' Haywood Highsmith: Won't suit up Monday

    Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Highsmith will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to right knee injury management, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Orlando. With Dillon Brooks (hand) also sidelined, Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming will likely continue seeing increased minutes.

  • Amir Coffey SF | PHO

    Suns' Amir Coffey: Out again Monday

    Coffey (ankle) will remain on the inactive list for Monday's meeting with Memphis.

    This will be Coffey's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game in Orlando.

  • Brook Lopez C | LAC

    Clippers' Brook Lopez: Ties season high with four steals

    Lopez ended Sunday's 127-113 win over the Bucks with eight points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, four steals, two blocks and one assist in 25 minutes.

    With Ivica Zubac now in Indiana, Lopez continues to provide some low-end fantasy appeal since taking over as the Clippers' starting center in early February. Lopez has averaged 12.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest in his last seven outings while shooting 50 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from downtown.

  • John Collins PF | DET

    Clippers' John Collins: Breaks out with 22 points

    Collins accumulated 22 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 win over Milwaukee.

    Sunday marked a breakout performance for Collins, who logged his most minutes and points since returning from a recent seven-game absence with a neck strain. The playing time is particularly a sign the power forward is cleared of whatever restrictions the Clippers had in place for Collins of late -- he last played at least 30 minutes back in February.

  • Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Puts up team-high 28 points

    Mathurin closed Sunday's 127-113 victory over Milwaukee with 28 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 13-14 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes.

    Despite coming off the bench, Mathurin led the team in scoring Sunday and got to the free-throw line with ease. The swingman is thriving as the Clippers' sixth man, averaging 23.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 30.3 minutes per game across his last eight appearances.
