Duren is expected to return following a one-game absence, and he should push Paul Reed back to the bench. Reed was productive in Monday’s spot start, but he should still see meaningful rotation minutes with Stewart still out of action.

Embiid had it going for much of Monday’s contest, compiling 31 points and 12 rebounds through the first three quarters. However, a field-goal-less fourth quarter left him and the Sixers without much more offense the rest of the way. Still, Embiid logged his 13th 30-point outing of the season and continues to perform well in the lead-up to the postseason. The Sixers will have some work to do if they want to avoid the Play-In Tournament. They have three regular-season games remaining.

Similar to his teammate Adama Bal, Whitehead also came off the bench, drained six three-pointers, and finished with 20 points. The points and triples were both season-highs for the third-year guard, who played in his third game of the season on Monday. He hasn’t gotten many opportunities this season, but may continue playing a large role off the bench to end the season.

Following a one-game absence with a calf injury, Mobley was back to take on Memphis. He sat the first leg of this back-to-back, and the extra rest led to him having a big night offensively. The Grizzlies didn’t really have an answer for him, and while he didn’t contribute much else for fantasy managers, he had an efficient night as a scorer. Mobley hasn’t been as productive as he was last year, which was his Defensive Player of the Year season. However, he still has a bright future for fantasy managers, and his production will be tied to Cleveland’s chances of making noise in the playoffs.

Ellis got a second straight start, and he was even better in this one. He set a new career high for assists and still knocked down three triples for a second straight game. Ellis won’t start when this team is healthy, but it is clear that he was a vital acquisition at the trade deadline and will continue to be an important piece for Cleveland entering the playoffs. Despite being productive when he was given the chance, Ellis wasn’t able to carve out a permanent starting role for Sacramento. He’s enjoyed plenty of success as a part-time starter for the Cavs.

Bal logged a career-best performance on Monday, despite the loss. The rookie guard, in the sixth game of his career, was one of two Grizzlies off the bench to make six three-pointers. Bal’s hot shooting led him to the first 20-point game of his career, as he finished as one of the team’s top scorers on the evening.

Merrill got the starting nod in this game and while he started slow, he caught fire after the break. He scored 18 of his 21 points after halftime, including 13 in the third quarter, which helped the Cavs take control of this game. Merrill started with Max Strus (foot) sidelined, but he will likely come off the bench when the team is fully healthy. Merrill has had an excellent season for Cleveland, mostly as a starter, and he’ll continue to be an important piece for them entering the playoffs.

Porter has been considered a dynasty sleeper for a long time, and while he doesn’t play a large enough role to do this consistently, he’s certainly capable of filling up the box score when he gets the chance. With James Harden (personal) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) out, Porter took on a larger role and stuffed the stat sheet. Cleveland is too deep on the perimeter for Porter to be worth rostering, but if he ever gets the chance to be a starter in the future, he can be a fantasy star.

Prosper was the highest-scoring Grizzlies player on Monday, with all of his points coming from field goals. He only missed two shots and was red-hot from beyond the arc to efficiently make his way past the 20-point mark. Prosper didn’t contribute in many other areas, which was the story of his season from a fantasy standpoint — he didn’t provide much value aside from inconsistent scoring.

Schröder got the starting nod with James Harden (personal) unavailable for this game, and he took advantage of the opportunity. This was his first double-double and second 20-point game since he was traded to Cleveland, which was enough to lead them to victory despite missing multiple starters. Schröder was signed to start for the Kings last summer, but things changed quickly, which led to him being dealt at the deadline. Now, he’ll continue to be an excellent reserve guard for a team looking to make some noise in the playoffs.

Suggs has been a fantasy stud when healthy all season, but he has added a new element to his game recently. This was his fourth straight game with at least eight assists, and he set a new career high for dimes in this one. Of course, he still contribute value across the board, just as he has all season. Utilizing Suggs as a playmaker just makes Orlando even more dangerous entering the postseason. He’s currently averaging career highs in assists and steals, and he’ll continue to stuff the stat sheet as the regular season comes to a close.
