Smith made six appearances on his first 10-day deal, averaging 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 19.6 minutes per game. His best performance came against the Kings on Sunday, when he contributed 18 points, four assists, three steals and three three-pointers in 29 minutes. Smith should continue to play a role off the bench for the Nets over their next five games.

Coming off one of his worst performances of the season, Mitchell may have been thrilled to see the lottery-bound Jazz on the schedule. While the Cavaliers managed to beat the Heat on March 27, Spida shot 1-of-10 from the field, finishing with six points. He did not run into much resistance on Monday, shooting over 50 percent from the field. Mitchell was also responsible for five assists and three three-pointers in an excellent start to his Week 23.

With Jarrett Allen (knee) getting the night off, Mobley was dominant in the opener of Cleveland’s three-game road trip. In addition to shooting over 70 percent from the field, he provided excellent value in rebounds and blocked shots. Mobley’s season-long fantasy value has not been what most fantasy managers expected before the season began. However, he’s still capable of big nights, especially when Allen is not available. The Cavaliers should have both of their bigs available for Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.

Williams had one of Dallas’ better individual performances on Monday, despite his production coming from off the bench. He showed up all over the box score in his 28 minutes of game action and continues to have a relatively strong season for the Mavericks. He’s not a must-roster player in fantasy leagues during championship week, but wouldn’t be a bad streaming option for those needing points and assists.

Flagg struggled on Monday, as did many of the Mavericks’ starters. He just made it out of single figures in points in his 31 minutes of action, and failed to make much of an impact in other areas of the game. The rookie sensation has produced well throughout the season and had been playing some particularly good basketball of late. After concluding with his lowest points total since January, he’ll have a chance to bounce back on Tuesday against the Bucks.
