• Pops for 17 in loss
    Hield ended with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Clippers.

    Advice: It was Hield's best scoring effort since he poured in 22 points against the Heat on Feb. 14, the last game before the All-Star break. The 31-year-old guard has started only one of the Sixers' last 10 games, and Hield has averaged 10.5 points, 2.9 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.9 assists over that stretch while seeing 22.4 minutes a contest.

  • Double-double in tough loss
    Oubre ended with 17 points (6-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Clippers.

    Advice: The 28-year-old forward very nearly played hero, but his layup attempt at the buzzer was blocked by Kawhi Leonard -- although the refs acknowledged after the game that Oubre was fouled on the play and should have gone to the line with a chance to win it. The double-double was his fourth of the season, with them of them coming since he rejoined the Sixers' starting five Mar. 8. Over his last 10 games, Oubre has averaged 17.6 points, 6.5 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks despite shooting 39.8 percent from the floor and 26.5 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Comes up big late against Sixers
    Leonard registered 17 points (7-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 victory over the 76ers.

    Advice: After making only one bucket in the first half, Leonard came to life late in the fourth quarter and completed two three-point plays in the final minute before blocking Kelly Oubre's attempt at a game-winning layup. It was still Leonard's lowest scoring output since Mar. 12, and over the last eight games the 32-year-old forward has averaged 23.4 points, 5.4 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor.

  • Double-double in Wednesday's win
    George accumulated 22 points (7-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over Philadelphia.

    Advice: The 33-year-old wing led the Clippers in scoring on the night while producing only his second double-double of the season, with the other coming back on Nov. 30. George has ceded most of his distribution duties to James Harden, and his 3.6 assists a game is his lowest mark since 2017-18, but he's compensated for his reduced usage with better efficiency, with his 47.0 percent shooting from the floor being a career high. He's been even sharper through 14 games in March, and George has averaged 23.9 points, 5.0 boards, 3.6 threes, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks on the month while shooting 52.7 percent on field-goal attempts and 46.4 percent on threes-point attempts.

  • Plays through illness for 18 points
    Porter recorded 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to Phoenix.

    Advice: Porter drew the start despite battling an unspecified illness but was fairly productive in the loss. Porter has plodded along with pedestrian scoring numbers over the past three games due to lower-than-expected shot volume, but his 16 attempts Wednesday is a move in the right direction. Porter can soar well above 20 points with enough opportunity, but he sometimes lacks the necessary aggression to make those opportunities happen on his own. Rotowire.com Today, 2:05 am
  • Solid total in loss
    Caldwell-Pope racked up 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Suns.

    Advice: Denver's backcourt continues to deal with Jamal Murray's (ankle) absence, and although Caldwell-Pope can be a volatile fantasy prospect, he's delivered solid assist and rebound totals alongside one of his best scoring results over the past two weeks. Short of putting Murray and Reggie Jackson o the floor at the same time, the Nuggets lack playoff experience in the backcourt, so they'll beed to see more production from Caldwell-Pope down the stretch.

  • Logs 30/13 double-double in win
    Durant ended with 30 points (12-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 win over Denver.

    Advice: The Suns were able to flip the script after a bad loss to the Spurs. Despite the embarrassing result Monday evening, Durant has had a trio of excellent lines after some modest regression at certain points over the month of March. Every win counts for the Suns as they strive to avoid a play-in game, so expect elite numbers for Durant as the team navigates the league['s most difficult remaining schedule.

  • Catches fire in fourth quarter
    LaRavia accumulated 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.

    Advice: His efforts weren't enough to bring Memphis back against a suddenly hot Lakers squad, but LaRavia at least helped keep the Grizzlies from being completely blown out with 14 of his 25 points in the fourth period. Overall, the second-year forward scored all but four of his points from beyond the arc, and his seven three-pointers more than doubled his previous career-best mark of three. LaRavia is usually good for a triple or two per contest, so there's little reason to expect this type of output from deep on a consistent basis, though he has held some low-end fantasy value of late with averages of 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals through 14 games in March.

  • Racks up career-high 16 dimes
    Bane finished with 26 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, 16 assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.

    Advice: Bane was Memphis' leading scorer and drained four triples in the loss, but his most impactful contribution came as a passer. The talented guard set a career high with 16 assists, marking his first time reaching double digits in that category over five contests since returning from a 29-game absence March 16. Bane has two other double-digit assist performances this season and is averaging a career-high 5.5 dimes per contest on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 pm
