Player Notes

  • Leads team in scoring
    DeRozan racked up 27 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 125-99 victory over the Pacers.

    Advice: DeRozan led Chicago in scoring and minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss over Indiana. The veteran forward has displayed impressive efficiency across his 14 appearances in March, shooting 50.2 percent from the field. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • Subpar against Detroit
    Edwards totaled nine points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 win over Detroit.

    Advice: Edwards had one of his lowest scoring performances of the season Wednesday, failing to reach double digits for just the seventh time in the current campaign, and overall, he looked rusty and out of sync most of the time. Edwards is simply too talented to struggle for a prolonged stretch, however, and he should be able to bounce back when the Timberwolves take on the Nuggets in a marquee matchup Friday.

  • Struggles in loss
    Haliburton closed with 13 points (4-15 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 125-99 loss to the Bulls.

    Advice: Haliburton's efficiency issues caused him to post 13 or fewer points for the second time in his last three outings. The star guard has also now dished out five or fewer assists in just seven games this season. Haliburton has struggled to score across his 14 appearances in March, averaging 16.4 points on 42.7 percent shooting the field and 26.5 percent shooting from three. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
  • Goes for 32 points in loss
    Cunningham notched 32 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Cunningham scored more than one-third of the Pistons' total point haul in this 15-point loss to Minnesota, and the star floor general took a score-first approach in this one, as evidenced by the fact he only delivered two assists. Playing alongside Marcus Sasser in the backcourt might have led to that, but either way, expect Cunningham to continue producing as long as he remains available for an already-eliminated Detroit with roughly two weeks left in the regular season.

  • Struggles from deep Wednesday
    Bogdanovic notched 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

    Advice: Bogdanovic didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly inaccurate from beyond the arc. Still, the veteran sharpshooter continues to make his presence felt even when his shot isn't falling regularly. Bogdanovic has started in all two games for the Hawks since the All-Star break and is averaging 15.4 points while shooting 39.6 percent from deep in that 15-game span in a starting role.

  • Double-double streak snapped
    Murray supplied 30 points (13-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    Advice: Murray failed to record a sixth consecutive double-double, but the versatile guard continues to make a massive impact on the offensive end of the court as a primary scorer and playmaker for a Hawks team that continues to operate without Trae Young (finger). Murray's impact has been massive for the Hawks, as he's averaging 27.7 points, 9.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game over his last 10 appearances. To note, Atlanta has gone 5-5 in that span. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
  • Leads team in scoring
    Nembhard chipped in 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 125-99 loss to the Bulls.

    Advice: Nembhard's efficient shooting helped him lead Indiana in scoring during Wednesday's blowout loss to the Bulls. The 23-year-old guard has now recorded at least one steal in three straight contests. Across his 14 appearances in March, Nembhard is posting 52.3/37.8/77.8 shooting splits.

  • Scores season-high 31 points
    Banton registered 31 points (13-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 loss to the Hawks.

    Advice: Banton posted his best scoring mark of the campaign, and he also extended his impressive stretch of games with double-digit points to nine despite coming off the bench in the last six. Banton is averaging 18.8 points per game in that nine-game stretch, and he'll aim to keep that run alive when facing the Heat on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:35 am
  • Sent back to G League
    The Thunder assigned Waters to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Waters continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. However, he should see increased playing time with the Blue. Rotowire.com Today, 8:25 am
