  • Keon Ellis SG | SAC

    Kings' Keon Ellis: Game-high four steals in win

    Ellis finished Sunday's 120-113 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four steals over 40 minutes.

    Ellis recorded a game-high four steals Sunday, and his stingy defense played an integral part in keeping both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland from reaching the 20-point plateau. Ellis has maintained a starting role despite the return of Malik Monk, but he remains a far more appealing fantasy option in category-based leagues. Across his last nine outings (all starts), Ellis has averaged 9.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes.

  • Evan Mobley PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday

    Mobley had 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to the Kings.

    Mobley stuffed the stat sheet Sunday, leading the Cavaliers in swats and swipes. Over his last nine appearances, the All-Star big man has averaged 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.2 blocks, 0.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 31.8 minutes while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor. Mobley is converting just 64.5 percent of his free-throw attempts during this interval, which has been about the only shortcoming that's prevented him from being a complete nine-category fantasy superstar in 2024-25.

  • Ty Jerome SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Steps up with 20 points in return

    Jerome (knee) contributed 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to the Kings.

    Jerome returned from a five-game absence due to left knee tendinitis and stepped up off the bench to lead the Cavaliers in scoring. The 27-year-old combo guard hit the 20-point mark for the 12th time this season Sunday, and he's now averaging 18.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 20.7 minutes -- while shooting 64.3 percent from the field and 55.6 percent from deep -- over his past four appearances.

  • Darius Garland PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Rare scoring dud in upset loss

    Garland recorded nine points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to the Kings.

    It was Garland's lowest scoring output since the Feb. 21 blowout win over New York, as he struggled to shoot ball while matched up against the disruptive defense of Keon Ellis. Garland did co-lead the Cavaliers in dimes, though. The All-Star floor general has averaged 15.8 points, 7.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes across his last six games, but he's shooting just 37.8 percent from the field during this span.

  • Zach LaVine SG | SAC

    Kings' Zach LaVine: Stays hot in upset win

    LaVine ended Sunday's 120-113 win over the Cavaliers with 37 points (15-21 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 42 minutes.

    LaVine caught fire from long distance, draining a game-high seven three-pointers while leading all scorers in Sunday's upset victory. After enduring a brief four-game cold spell in late March, the star swingman is heating back up over his last six outings. LaVine is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc during this period, logging 23.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.3 three-pointers per game.

  • DeMar DeRozan SF | SAC

    Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Extends 20-point scoring streak

    DeRozan finished Sunday's 120-113 win over Cleveland with 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block across 40 minutes.

    DeRozan reached the 20-point threshold for the sixth consecutive contest against a tough Cavaliers defense, also matching Domantas Sabonis for the team high in dimes. During this six-game stretch, DeRozan has averaged 25.3 points, 6.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes while shooting 51.5 percent from the field.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Teases triple-double in victory

    Sabonis finished Sunday's 120-113 victory over the Cavaliers with 27 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 39 minutes.

    Although he turned the ball over a game-high seven times, Sabonis co-led the team in dimes and paced the club in boards while scoring an efficient 27 points against Cleveland's towering frontcourt. Sabonis is riding a six-game double-double streak, during which the All-Star big man has averaged 21.7 points on 58.4 percent shooting from the floor, 14.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes.

  • Maxwell Lewis SF | BKN

    Nets' Maxwell Lewis: Provides spark in return to bench

    Lewis supplied 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Raptors.

    Lewis was back on the bench Sunday due to Ziaire Williams' return to the starting lineup, providing a lift on the second unit while recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks and finishing second among Nets players in scoring. Lewis reached double figures in scoring for the fourth time this season, recording his second-highest point total in Sunday's defeat. He also set a new season high in blocks in what was his fifth outing with at least one rejection.

  • Drew Timme PF | BKN

    Nets' Drew Timme: Balanced outing in first start

    Timme supplied 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to Toronto.

    Timme got the first start of his career Sunday, putting together a strong performance by finishing with a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of eight Nets with a double-digit point total. Timme has appeared in five games with Brooklyn, reaching double figures in scoring in three of those contests. He has recorded at least 10 points and seven rebounds in two outings.

  • Reece Beekman PG | BKN

    Nets' Reece Beekman: Two-way performance in first start

    Beekman contributed 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to Toronto.

    Beekman got his first career start Sunday with D'Angelo Russell (ankle) out and Brooklyn shorthanded, lifting the Nets on both ends of the floor while leading all players in scoring, assists and steals in a losing effort. Beekman's points were a season-high figure, and he also matched season-best marks in rebounds, assists and steals.
