Dadiet notched 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 loss to the Hornets.

Dadiet scored a career-high 12 points, taking advantage of the fact that New York had very little to play for on the final night of the regular season. While this was an encouraging performance, there is no reason to think Dadiet will feature during the playoffs.

Jones amassed two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 12 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 loss to the Hornets.

New York opted to rest the majority of its starters, allowing Jones to play double-digit minutes for the first time this season. Given what we have seen throughout the regular season, don't expect to see Jones on the floor during the first round of the playoffs against the Hawks.

Sochan registered 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 loss to Charlotte.

Sochan scored double digits for the first time since joining the Knicks, a commentary on just how limited his role has been. New York will now face Atlanta in the first round of the playoffs, with Sochan unlikely to see the floor, outside of lopsided scorelines.

Kalkbrenner produced nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 victory over New York.

Kalkbrenner continues to serve as the backup center, a role that has yielded very little in terms of viable fantasy production. In 15 games over the past month, he has averaged just 6.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game.

Bridges finished with seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 24 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 win over the Knicks.

Bridges was mostly a non-factor in the win, limited to single digits for the first time in his past 10 games. Charlotte will host Miami in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, with the winner moving on to face the winner of Orlando and Philadelphia.

Mann registered zero points (0-1 FG) across four minutes during Sunday's 110-96 win over the Knicks.

Mann continues to play a minimal role, typically appearing during garbage time only. In 10 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 2.3 points in 4.5 minutes.

Queen went for 30 points (11-28 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 22 rebounds, four assists, one steal and a block in 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

Queen was dominant on the glass Sunday, collecting a career-high 22 rebounds. The impressive rookie was also able to amass 30 points by being especially aggressive in hunting his shot. This was evident in the fact that he took 28 shots from the floor, blowing past his previous high of 18 attempts. Queen averaged 24.0 points, 18.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in 39.0 minutes per contest over his last three appearances to close the season.

Nembhard recorded 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 23 assists, nine rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 win over the Bulls.

Nembhard was given the keys to the offense due to the majority of the team's rotation players being out and Cooper Flagg (ankle) exiting early. He did not disappoint, as he set a Mavericks rookie record for assists in a game, bypassing coach Jason Kidd's previous record. On top of his playmaking, Nemhard added 15 points and ended up one rebound shy of a triple-double. The rookie guard concludes the season with four double-doubles and his name engraved in Mavericks history.

Harper will not return to Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to a left thumb injury, Don Harris of News 4 San Antonio reports.

Harper exited late in the third quarter and will not be able to return. He concludes the contest with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and a steal in 18 minutes.

Scheierman recorded 30 points (8-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 win over the Magic.

Scheierman stepped into a featured role due to the Celtics benching the majority of their rotation players for the regular-season finale, and he took full advantage of the opportunity with a career-high 30 points. Unsurprisingly, Scheierman did much of his work from beyond the arc, connecting on a team-high six threes, which matched his career high. On top of his scoring, Scheierman dished out a career-high seven assists. In an expanded role over the last three games, Scheierman has averaged 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.
