Brook Lopez
Brook Lopez scores 18 points, swats three shots
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:39 PM
Brook Lopez finished with 18 points (7-of-16 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two three-pointers against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Analysis: It has been a largely unproductive season for Lopez, but he has started at center in every game since Ivica Zubac suited up for the last time as a Clipper, and he has been productive, especially recently. He has 16 blocks over his last five games and has scored in double figures in all but one of those. Lopez has provided fifth-round value over the past two weeks, and they'll need him to stay productive in Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Darius Garland
Darius Garland posts 20/2/4/2/1 line in loss
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:37 PM
Darius Garland posted a full line on Tuesday with 20 points (7-of-17 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block, three three-pointers and five turnovers in a 114-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Garland had a shaky start to this game, turning the ball over five times in the first half, which contributed to the Clippers' 16-point halftime deficit. He cleaned things up after the break, but that wasn't enough to help the Clippers make a comeback. That ended their five-game winning streak, and they'll look to get back on track against the Spurs on Thursday. Garland has been excellent recently and will look to stay hot in that one.
Jrue Holiday
Jrue Holiday scores game-high 30 points in win
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:35 PM
Jrue Holiday led the Trail Blazers with 30 points (10-of-21 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and seven three-pointers in a 114-104 win over the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: This was an offensive outburst for Holiday, which led to his third 30-point game of the season. This performance was only surpassed by his outing against the Grizzlies on March 4, where he contributed 35 points and eight three-pointers. Holiday has been a strong starter for the Blazers this season, though performances like this haven't come often. He'll look to carry some of this production into Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans, which will be their final game of the week.
Deni Avdija
Deni Avdija finishes with 28/11/8 line vs. LAC
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:32 PM
Deni Avdija recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 28 points (8-of-15 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one three-pointer against the Clippers.
Analysis: Rough free throw shooting has limited Avdija's value as of late, but he was able to have a productive night from there in this game while also recording his third double-double of the month. Avdija has enjoyed a breakout season, though he has certainly cooled off over the past two months. The back injury that has forced him to miss time is certainly a reason, and Portland will hope to have him at 100 percent for the postseason.
Jake LaRavia
Jake LaRavia shoots perfect 5-of-5 in win
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:13 PM
Jake LaRavia finished with 14 points (5-of-5 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers on Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: This was LaRavia's fifth straight game as a starter, with the most recent start before that coming before the All-Star break. He had some solid stretches earlier this year, but March was a rough month for him. This was his only double-digit scoring game of the month, and it took him not missing a shot to reach that. He has been able to contribute more defensive stats as a starter, which gives him a little upside, but he hasn't truly taken advantage of the extra minutes.
Rui Hachimura
Rui Hachimura scores 14 points off bench
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:10 PM
Rui Hachimura provided a boost off the bench with 14 points (6-of-8 FGs), one rebound, one block and two three-pointers against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Hachimura was pushed back to the bench for this game with Luka Don?i? back in the lineup after serving a one-game suspension on Monday. Hachimura scored 14 points as a starter in that game and added 14 more in this one, though he didn't contribute much in other categories, which has been the case all season. Hachimura is a strong rotation piece for the Lakers, but he shouldn't be relied on in fantasy basketball.
Luka Doncic
Don?i? tallies 42 points, 12 assists in return
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:06 PM
Luka Don?i? led the Lakers with 42 points (13-of-26 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and six three-pointers in a 127-113 win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: After serving a one-game suspension on Monday for being assessed a 16th technical foul, Don?i? was back in the lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back. The fresh legs allowed him to put together a third straight 40-point game while also shooting at least 50 percent from the floor in each game. He's been effective from the free throw line as well, shooting 25-of-26 during this three-game stretch. Free throw percentage is typically a weakness, but he as been red-hot recently and will look to keep that going into Thursday's game in Oklahoma City.
Max Strus
Max Strus scores 11 points in loss to Lakers
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 7:00 PM
Max Strus started on Tuesday and contributed 11 points (4-of-8 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers against the Lakers.
Analysis: Strus was back in the lineup after sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back, and he ended up starting for the first time this season. He wasn't able to match his season-high 29 points that he scored on Friday, but he remained efficient. Still, the lopsided score limited him to 23 minutes, so it ended up being a subpar night. If he remains a starter when Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade are all healthy, Strus should be a reliable option for fantasy managers for the rest of the season.
Jarrett Allen
Jarrett Allen scores 18 points vs. Los Angeles
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 6:56 PM
Jarrett Allen led the Cavaliers with 18 points (9-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in a 127-113 loss to the Lakers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Allen sat the first leg of this back-to-back, but he was able to lead the Cavaliers in scoring in his return to the lineup. All 18 of his points came before halftime, and he didn't end up seeing the floor much after the break. This was an ugly loss for the Cavs that was somewhat redeemed on the scoreboard during the fourth quarter. Allen only played 19 minutes in this game after playing 18 in his return on Friday, though both games were blowouts. He'll likely continue to have his minutes managed in Golden State on Thursday.
Brandon Ingram
Brandon Ingram has 22 points in loss to Pistons
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 5:02 PM
Brandon Ingram had 22 points (7-of-15 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), one rebound and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Ingram was a late scratch for Sunday's win over the Magic, but returned Tuesday with 22 points in the loss to the Pistons. The 28-year-old small forward didn't do much else in his 31 minutes, adding just one rebound and one three-pointer. The Raptors still have three games left in Week 23 for Ingram to have a more complete game.
Duncan Robinson
Duncan Robinson has 19 points, five threes in win
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:58 PM
Duncan Robinson had 19 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Robinson missed Monday's loss to the Thunder as he was managing a right hip injury. The 31-year-old small forward returned Tuesday and had 19 points against the Raptors, making five three-pointers. Robinson will continue to be a solid source of threes when available. There should be enough off days for him to play in both of the Pistons' remaining games in Week 23.
Ousmane Dieng
Ousmane Dieng posts 11/10/5 line off bench
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:50 PM
Ousmane Dieng provided a boost off the bench with 11 points (4-of-10 FGs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer against the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Analysis: After starting 12 of his last 13 appearances, Dieng was pushed to the bench for this game with Milwaukee rolling out its healthiest lineup in a while. Still, Dieng was able to have a productive outing as a reserve, though it wasn't an efficient performance. Dieng will continue to play big minutes for the Bucks for the rest of this season, which should allow him to make an impact for fantasy managers. He'll look to keep it going in Houston on Wednesday, with multiple starters likely to be unavailable for the second leg of this back-to-back.
Kyle Kuzma
Kyle Kuzma tallies 20/6/3/3/1 line in return
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:45 PM
Kyle Kuzma returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 20 points (9-of-17 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block against the Mavericks.
Analysis: In his return from a four-game absence, Kuzma was immediately able to make a big impact in the box score. He scored 20 points in his final game before the absence, but prior to that, his production came inconsistently. Kuzma hasn't been a reliable option in fantasy basketball this season, though he should still be able to provide some value down the stretch of this season, even if it won't be as efficient as it was in this game often.
Jalen Duren
Jalen Duren has 31 points, nine boards in win
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:45 PM
Jalen Duren had 31 points (12-of-13 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the Pistons' 127-116 victory over the Raptors on Tuesday.
Analysis: Duren had a huge game as the Pistons took down the Raptors without Cade Cunningham (lung). The 22-year-old center is now averaging 23.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and shooting 68 percent from the field in the last seven games without Cunningham. Duren has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Pistons have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Ryan Rollins
Ryan Rollins leads Bucks with 24/7/9 line
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:41 PM
Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 24 points (8-of-14 FGs), seven rebounds, nine assists, one steal and four three-pointers in a 123-99 win over the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Following a one-game absence with a hip injury, Rollins returned to help the Bucks end a four-game losing streak. He nearly recorded a triple-double and had a much better scoring performance than in his last appearance, when he was held to 12 points in 5-of-15 shooting. Rollins continues to be a strong candidate to win the Most Improved Player award, and he'll remain productive when available for the rest of the season.
Karl-Anthony Towns
KAT has 22 points, eight boards in loss to Rockets
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:40 PM
Karl-Anthony Towns had 22 points (7-of-17 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Towns' eight rebounds were just the second time in his last eight games that he's had less than 10 rebounds. The 30-year-old center bounced back with 22 points after scoring 15 and 13 points in his two previous games. Towns has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Jalen Brunson
Jalen Brunson has 12/6/8 line in loss to Rockets
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:34 PM
Jalen Brunson had 12 points (5-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Brunson had his lowest scoring output in three weeks, since scoring nine points in a 39-point win over the Nuggets. The 29-year-old point guard struggled, going 5-of-14 from the field including 1-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Brunson has provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Brandon Williams
Brandon Williams scores 18 points off bench
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:33 PM
Brandon Williams started the second half on Tuesday and contributed 18 points (6-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and one steal against the Bucks.
Analysis: Williams scored 12 points in the first half of this game and ended up starting the second half in place of Ryan Nembhard. Williams continues to be a reliable source of points, and he has been a decent source of assists, though he wasn't in this game. This was his highest-scoring performance since March 3, and he has scored in double figures in every game he has completed since before the All-Star break. He'll continue to pour in the points over the final six games of the season for Dallas.
Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant has 27/6/8 line in win over Knicks
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:29 PM
Kevin Durant had 27 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in the Rockets' 111-94 victory over the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Durant started the game on fire by making his first four shots and scoring 10 points in the first three minutes of the game. The 37-year-old small forward also had six rebounds and eight assists, adding two blocks on the defensive end. Durant has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets have three games remaining in Week 23, with a matchup against the Bucks on Wednesday coming next.
Brandon Miller
Brandon Miller bounces back with 25 points
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:17 PM
Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 25 points (7-of-13 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one block and four three-pointers in a 117-86 win over the Nets on Tuesday.
Analysis: Miller got off to a scorching hot start to this game, scoring 16 points in the first quarter without missing a shot. He cooled off after that and wasn't able to turn it into a huge performance, but it was enough for Charlotte to take a massive lead and not give it back. This came two days after he shot 5-of-13 and scored just 13 points in a loss to the Celtics on Sunday. He'll look to keep this going into Thursday's game against the Suns.
