Mobley finished Friday's 149-128 win over Miami with 23 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes.

Mobley scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter of Friday's blowout win and finished as the Cavaliers' second-leading scorer behind Max Strus (29 points). Mobley also collected his sixth double-double in 13 games since March 1 and his 24th of the season, which is tied with Ivica Zubac (ribs) and Paolo Banchero for 14th most in the Association. Since the beginning of March, Mobley has averaged 20.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks over 30.8 minutes per game.

Scheierman supplied three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 109-102 victory over Atlanta.

Scheierman moved into the starting lineup, replacing Jaylen Brown, who was ruled out with a calf injury. While the injury doesn't sound too serious, there is a chance Brown could miss at least another game or two, giving Scheierman some short-term appeal for anyone needing threes. With that said, his upside is very limited, meaning managers could likely find a more appealing option on the waiver wire.

Gonzalez accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in seven minutes during Friday's 109-102 victory over the Hawks.

Gonzalez logged no more than 10 minutes for the fifth time in the past seven games, during which time he has been firmly outside the top 300 in nine-category leagues. While he has had pockets of value throughout the season, the return of Jayson Tatum served to cap Gonzalez's fantasy production for this season.

Small finished with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.

Small got off to a hot start, dropping in 12 points on six shots through the first half of action, but the Rockets did a good job of shutting him down after halftime. Over the past four games, Small has generated averages of 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.0 three-pointers per contest.

Prosper closed with 31 points (12-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.

Prosper got into some early foul trouble and was limited to just five points through the first half of play, but he caught fire after halftime and finished with a new career high in points. Prosper has been on a heater over the past two games, scoring a total of 48 points on 18-for-25 shooting over that stretch.

Gilgeous-Alexander notched 25 points (8-24 FG, 0-10 3Pt, 9-12 FT), five assists, three blocks and two rebounds across 29 minutes in Friday's 131-113 win over the Bulls.

Gilgeous-Alexander had a disastrous shooting night, particularly from three-point range, though he still finished as the game's leading scorer. While his 10 three-point tries represented a season high, Friday's contest was the sixth time this season he failed to make a three-pointer when making at least one attempt from behind the arc. However, the reigning MVP was impactful on the defensive end, finishing one block shy of tying his career high. He has tallied multiple swats in three of his last eight outings.

Spencer accumulated 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.

Spencer missed all six of his shot attempts during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, but he scored efficiently in this one and got some extra minutes with Ty Jerome (ankle) missing another game. As long as Jerome is sidelined, Spencer should be a reliable source of dimes.

Risacher closed with six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds over 14 minutes during Friday's 109-102 loss to the Celtics.

After an encouraging three-game period during which Risacher averaged 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers, things have regressed over the past two games. In that time, he has logged a total of 23 minutes, recording just eight points and five rebounds. Although he still has youth on his side, Risacher is certainly not looking like he will be an impactful NBA player.

Smith totaled 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-109 win over the Grizzlies.

Smith dominated the glass and notched his second straight double-double, as he helped the Rockets hit the brakes on a two-game skid. Smith will look to keep the good times rolling Sunday in New Orleans.

Sheppard provided 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 119-109 victory over Memphis.

This was a nice bounce-back performance from Sheppard, who was held to just 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting his last time out. Since being reinserted into the first unit, the sophomore guard has come through with averages of 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 3.4 triples, 2.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest, which has him flirting with top-15 value in nine-category leagues.
