Bridges made 10 of 17 shots from the floor and 5 of 9 from 3-point range. He also contributed five rebounds and five steals. Karl-Anthony Towns collected 12 points and 14 rebounds

Brunson had seven assists and connected four times from beyond the arc to send the Knicks to their 14th win in 18 games and avenge a 134-132 setback to the Spurs on New Year's Eve.

San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama recorded 25 points and 13 rebounds. Devin Vassell scored 18 points and Stephon Castle added 13 for the Spurs, who lost for the first time since dropping a 111-106 decision to the Charlotte Hornets on Jan. 31. They also were held to a season-low point total.


Cavaliers 106, Nets 102

James Harden collected 22 points, nine rebounds and eight assists after missing two games with a fractured right thumb as Cleveland hung on in the final seconds for a victory over Brooklyn in New York.

Former Net Jarrett Allen added 20 and Evan Mobley contributed 17 as the Cavs survived their third straight game without Donovan Mitchell (strained groin). Sam Merrill contributed 15 and Dennis Schroder chipped in 12 as Cleveland shot 48.6% and hit 25 free throws, nine in the fourth quarter.

Michael Porter Jr. led all scorers with 26 and helped Brooklyn nearly erase a nine-point deficit in the final minutes. Rookie Danny Wolf added a career-best 23 and nine rebounds while first-year guard Nolan Traore contributed 17.

Neemias Queta had a career-high 27 points along with 17 rebounds and Jaylen Brown finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and eight assists to lead Boston to a victory over visiting Philadelphia.

Derrick White added 21 points, six rebounds and eight assists for Boston, which received 11 points and 12 rebounds from Nikola Vucevic. The Celtics made 18 of 21 free-throw attempts and had a 59-37 edge in rebounding.

Luka Doncic scored 28 points with nine assists and LeBron James added 24 points as Los Angeles completed a successful back-to-back with a victory over visiting Sacramento.

Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton each scored 12 points as the Lakers returned home for the victory one day after earning an easy win at Golden State to end a three-game losing streak.

Nique Clifford poured in 26 points and Maxime Raynaud added 16 points with 13 rebounds for the Kings, who dropped to 2-2 since ending a franchise-record 16-game losing streak. Russell Westbrook scored 14 points against his former team as Sacramento went 2-3 on a just-completed five-game road trip.

Bulls 120, Bucks 97

Josh Giddey notched a triple-double of 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists and Collin Sexton scored a game-high 22 points as Chicago defeated visiting Milwaukee to stop an 11-game losing streak.

Chicago used a 27-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters to secure its first victory since Jan. 31. Sexton scored 14 of his points after halftime to spark seven Bulls in double figures. Buzelis scored 20 points while Leonard Miller added a career-best 15.

Bobby Portis led Milwaukee with 18 points. Cam Thomas (15), AJ Green (13) and Ryan Rollins (11) were next. Kyle Kuzma and Kevin Porter Jr. chipped in 10 points apiece. Chicago salvaged the finale of the four-game season series.

Timberwolves 117, Nuggets 108

Anthony Edwards scored 21 points and Jaden McDaniels finished with 20 points as visiting Minnesota beat Denver to move a game ahead of the Nuggets in the Western Conference standings.

Bones Hyland had 18 points off the bench, Donte DiVincenzo contributed 17, Julius Randle had 14 points and Rudy Gobert grabbed 15 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who moved into fourth place. Minnesota swept its three-game road trip and salvaged the final matchup of the season against Denver.

Nikola Jokic had a near triple-double, finishing with 35 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. Jamal Murray had 25 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 17 off the bench and Christian Braun added 15 points for Denver. The Nuggets have lost four of their first six out of the All-Star break.

Grizzlies 125, Pacers 106

Taylor Hendricks made a career-high five 3-pointers and scored 19 points, Jaylen Wells added 18 points and Olivier-Maxence Prosper chipped in with 17 to lead Memphis to a victory over Indiana in Indianapolis.

The Grizzlies won their second straight game following a three-game slide. Memphis also got 16 points from Scotty Pippen Jr., 16 points and six rebounds from Rayan Rupert and 14 assists from Walter Clayton Jr., a franchise-record total for a Grizzlies rookie.

The Pacers lost their sixth straight game and their 10th in the last 12 outings. Jarace Walker led Indiana with 21 points, including four 3-pointers. Micah Potter added 18 points and nine rebounds and Jay Huff contributed 14 points.

Hawks 135, Trailblazers 101

Onyeka Okongwu scored 25 points, setting the pace with 20 in the first half, to help Atlanta to a win over visiting Portland and extend its winning streak to four games.

Okongwu was 9-for-15 from the field, 7-for-12 on 3-pointers and added 10 rebounds and six assists, picking up his 15th double-double. Jonathan Kuminga had 20 points and seven rebounds and CJ McCollum scored 19. Nickeil Alexander-Walker returned from a sprained ankle and scored 15. Jalen Johnson returned from a hip flexor and battled foul trouble to finish with eight.

Portland was led by Jrue Holiday with 23 points and Donovan Clingan, who had 15 points and 15 rebounds, his 24th double-double and 16th game with at least 15 rebounds.

Pistons 106, Magic 92

Cade Cunningham paired 29 points with 11 assists as visiting Detroit defeated Orlando.

Cunningham also had six rebounds for league-leading Detroit, which overcame some early shooting woes to crush the Magic 31-18 and 25-17 across the last two quarters. Tobias Harris scored 23 points for Detroit, while Jalen Duren posted 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Ausur Thompson compiled nine points, 11 boards and three blocks.

Paolo Banchero had 24 points and 11 assists for Orlando, Tristan da Silva added 19 and Desmond Bane chipped in with 17 points and seven assists.

Thunder 100, Mavericks 87

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in 30 points -- his 123rd consecutive game to score 20 or more points -- to lead Oklahoma City past host Dallas.

Gilgeous-Alexander moved within three games of tying Wilt Chamberlain's NBA record. He did break Chamberlain's mark for consecutive 20-plus point games on the road with 59.

The Thunder's Chet Holmgren contributed 19 points and nine rebounds in the win while Isaiah Joe added 14 points off the bench. Caleb Martin led the Mavericks with 18 points while Brandon Williams and Max Christie added 14.

Rookie Jeremiah Fears came off the bench to score a season-high 28, rookie Derik Queen added 19 off the bench, Dejounte Murray scored 17, Trey Murphy III returned from a five-game absence due to a right shoulder contusion to add 16 and Saddiq Bey had 14 to lead the Pelicans.

Player Notes
Josh Giddey Mon Mar 2 1:30am

Chicago's G Josh Giddey recorded a triple-double, finishing with 20 points, 10 assists and 14 rebounds in a 120-97 win over the Bucks on Sunday, Mar. 1.

LeBron James Sun Mar 1 9:00pm

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings. The King had 22 points, nine assists, and seven boards in 28 minutes in the 129-101 win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. He popped up on the injury report because of the infamous foot issue. However, that won't keep him off the floor. James has a chance to do something meaningful for fantasy managers, considering Sacramento isn't the best defensively, although his overall contributions could be less than usual if the Lakers build a decisive lead throughout the contest.

Zion Williamson Sun Mar 1 8:50pm

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers. The 25-year-old hasn't missed a game since mid-December. Unfortunately, he injured his ankle during Saturday's win over the Utah Jazz. His next opportunity to get on the floor will be on Tuesday versus the Lakers. Fortunately, Trey Murphy III (shoulder) will return from his five-game absence, which will help lessen the blow caused by Williamson's absence.

Kevin Love Sun Mar 1 8:00pm

Utah Jazz forward/center Kevin Love (rest) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets as the veteran sits for maintenance after playing in four straight contests. His absence should help lock in Kyle Filipowski's minutes in an already thin Utah frontcourt. Filipowski produced 12 points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes last game and continues to log a steady run. With Utah prioritizing youth and dealing with multiple frontcourt injuries, Filipowski profiles as more than a streamer and should be viewed as a long-term hold in most formats.

Tristan Vukcevic Sun Mar 1 7:50pm

Washington Wizards forward/center Tristan Vukcevic (thigh) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets as he continues to work through lower-body injuries. His minutes have been tightly managed of late, with his workload consistently capped, limiting his fantasy ceiling. Anthony Gill (illness), who posted eight points, five rebounds, and three assists in 28 minutes last game, could handle a larger workload if available. Vukcevic remains a high-risk option in standard formats given the unstable role and ongoing health concerns.

John Collins Sun Mar 1 7:40pm

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (head) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans after missing two contests. Collins has averaged 28.7 minutes, 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists over his last five appearances, providing steady mid-round production. His return should tighten the frontcourt rotation, cutting into the minutes of Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders. Collins is safe to deploy in standard formats, especially with Darius Garland (toe) still out, while Kawhi Leonard and Bennedict Mathurin remain primary scoring options.

Brandon Clarke Sun Mar 1 7:20pm

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (calf) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced Sunday. Clarke has been sidelined since Dec. 20 and remains without a firm return timeline, keeping him off the fantasy radar in standard leagues. With Clarke, Zach Edey (ankle), and Santi Aldama (knee) still unavailable, Memphis continues to rely on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Taylor Hendricks, and GG Jackson II. Prosper posted 16 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes last game, while Hendricks added 11 points and two blocks. Those frontcourt pieces retain short-term streaming value.

Caleb Martin Sun Mar 1 7:00pm

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder after missing one contest. With Cooper Flagg (foot), Naji Marshall (finger), and P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined, Martin could see a bump from his 17-minute average over the last five games. In that span, he has produced 5.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.4 steals, flashing defensive upside. He logged 10 points and three steals in 20 minutes his last time out. Martin is a risky streamer, but the opportunity and potential steals make him viable in deeper formats.

Naji Marshall Sun Mar 1 6:50pm

Dallas Mavericks forwards P.J. Washington (ankle) and Naji Marshall (finger) are out for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Washington will miss his third straight contest, while Marshall exits the rotation after logging 30 minutes per game this season. Dallas is expected to lean on Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson, and Caleb Martin in expanded roles. Middleton posted 10 points and three assists in 19 minutes Friday, and Thompson has averaged 11 points in a limited run recently. Martin also offers defensive streaming value. Middleton and Brandon Williams are positioned to handle more of the offense.

Kyshawn George Sun Mar 1 6:40pm

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets after being limited to 15 minutes in Saturday's loss to Toronto. The second-year wing has averaged 29.1 minutes with a 21.7 percent usage rate as a starter, though his workload has fluctuated while managing the knee issue. If he sits, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie profile as short-term streamers. Riley posted 19 points in 35 minutes last game, while Champagnie added 12 points and three blocks in 22 minutes. Still, Washington's rotation remains difficult to trust due to inconsistent minute distribution.

Baylor Scheierman Sun Mar 1 6:30pm

Boston Celtics forward Baylor Scheierman (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers after being listed as questionable. The second-year wing has started seven straight games, averaging 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 triples in 26 minutes with a 14.4 usage rate. He posted 10 points, three rebounds, and six assists in 22 minutes Friday. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined, Scheierman offers short-term streaming appeal, though his night-to-night production remains volatile, making him a risky option. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown still command the offense.

LeBron James Sun Mar 1 6:10pm

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings after appearing in the first half of a back-to-back set. The 41-year-old is averaging 21.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.0 assists in 33.2 minutes, and his potential absence would shift usage toward Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Jake LaRavia logged 15 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes during the last outing, making him a viable streamer, while Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura would profile as deeper-league adds if James sits.

Rui Hachimura Sun Mar 1 6:10pm

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (illness) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Kings after missing two contests. The 28-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 triples over his last five games in 27.0 minutes and should slide back into a steady rotation role. If LeBron James (foot) sits, Hachimura could push past 26 minutes and gain streaming appeal in points leagues. Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt would see slightly reduced upside with Hachimura active.

Jabari Smith Jr. Sun Mar 1 5:40pm

Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) remains out on Monday versus Washington. He tweaked his ankle during the 113-108 win over the Orlando Magic on Thursday and didn't suit up on Saturday in Miami. Reed Sheppard took his spot in the starting lineup, amassing 14 points, five assists, and four rebounds. Fantasy managers might see more production out of Sheppard against the Wizards, a team that has struggled defensively all year.

Jalen Johnson Sun Mar 1 5:30pm

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) will play on Sunday versus Portland. He suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Washington Wizards, keeping him off the floor for the rematch on Thursday evening. Jonathan Kuminga got the start in that one, ending with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. While Kuminga may head back to the bench, he still offers plenty of upside for fantasy managers due to the favorable matchup on the horizon.

Deni Avdija Sun Mar 1 5:10pm

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) won't suit up on Sunday against Atlanta. He's been dealing with the lower back injury for a while. Although the 25-year-old has played sparingly since the injury was first announced, the latest setback will now cost him a fourth-straight contest. Avdija has had a wonderful campaign, averaging a career-high 24.4 points with 7.0 rebounds, and 6.6 assists. His next chance to get on the floor will be on Wednesday in Memphis. With Shaedon Sharpe (leg) also sidelined, the Blazers should get extra production from Jerami Grant, Jrue Holiday, and Donovan Clingan. Kris Murray, who has amassed 7.8 points, 4.8 boards, and 1.1 steals in 14 starts this season, is expected to stay with the first-five until Avdija is back in the mix.

Zach Edey Sun Mar 1 4:40pm

The Memphis Grizzlies announced on Sunday that center Zach Edey (ankle) will undergo another surgery to address "ongoing discomfort" in his left ankle. He is anticipated to recover fully, with "a timeline" regarding his recovery to be provided after the procedure. The 23-year-old appeared in 66 games as a rookie, averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. He underwent surgery on his left ankle back on June 10. Unfortunately, Edey logged only 13 games throughout the 2025-26 campaign before he went back on the shelf. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor for the remainder of the season. There is also reason to believe he may miss at least the start of training camp, although it's too early to speculate. While Edey is sidelined, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, coming off a 16-point, 10-rebound performance, should see the most minutes at the five, even if he's not starting. That should remain the case until Santi Aldama (knee) is cleared to suit up.

Kawhi Leonard Sun Mar 1 7:40am

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is off the injury report and expected to play Sunday against New Orleans. He sat out Thursday with left ankle soreness and missed practice due to illness, but he is ready to return. Leonard has been rolling, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers across 32.1 minutes in his last five games. His return pushes Bennedict Mathurin back into a secondary role and trims Kris Dunn's usage. Leonard remains a must-start in all formats, with his recent workload easing concerns about durability.

Russell Westbrook Sun Mar 1 7:40am

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (thigh) is off the injury report and expected to play Sunday against the Lakers. He sat out Thursday's win over Dallas due to a thigh contusion but is ready to return. Over his last five appearances, the veteran has averaged 15.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers. His return likely sends Devin Carter back to the bench after Carter posted 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals in 32 minutes in the last game. Westbrook remains a viable source of points and assists, though his shooting efficiency and fluctuating role can make him a bit unpredictable from night to night.

Donovan Mitchell Sun Mar 1 7:30am

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn, marking his third straight absence. The team does not anticipate a long-term issue, though he remains day-to-day heading into Tuesday. If James Harden (thumb) is unable to play, Cleveland would have even more offensive workload and minutes to spread around the rotation. Jaylon Tyson started the last game and logged 41 minutes, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, and four three-pointers. Sam Merrill added 20 points in 36 minutes, while Craig Porter Jr. recorded 12 assists in 32 minutes. Tyson profiles as the top short-term add, and Merrill remains a viable scoring streamer.
