Rupert finished the season with three excellent games in a row. A former second round pick on a two-way deal, Rupert has been given plenty of minutes by the Grizzlies in the second half of the season and only flashed his potential. Still just 21, he could be worth stashing in dynasty, but expectations should be tempered.

While Proctor did record seven turnovers on Sunday, the rookie guard recorded his first double-double and finished two assists shy of a triple-double. Proctor logged a season-high 35 minutes on Sunday, taking on a role that does not align with what he’ll be asked to do during the playoffs. Unless there are injuries at the point guard position, Proctor is unlikely to crack the rotation.

In his second game back from a toe injury, Tyson played 26 minutes on Sunday. The role he enjoyed against the Wizards is unlikely to match what he’ll be asked to do in Cleveland’s first-round series against Toronto, but the second-year wing has shown that he’s a capable contributor. The future appears to be bright for Tyson in Cleveland.

With the Cavaliers resting most of their regulars, players like Tomlin were able to log extended minutes in Sunday’s regular-season finale. The second-year forward made the most of his opportunity, recording a career-high point total and surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time. Tomlin did not record any defensive stats, but the offensive production was excellent for those in active fantasy leagues. He’ll take on his usual reserve role during the playoffs and is not guaranteed consistent rotation minutes.

Clayton will miss a second straight game. On Friday, Lucas Williamson and Jahmai Mashack each played 48 minutes. Expect more strange rotations for Memphis in this one, with Williamson and Mashack likely filling all the backcourt minutes. As for Clayton, the 2025 first-rounder came over to Memphis in the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade and could figure in Memphis’ rotation in 2026-27 if Ja Morant is dealt this offseason. He has some conditional fantasy value, but he’s going to need to shoot better than 38.4 percent to be a major cog going forward.

Bal joins the long list of Grizzlies players who won’t be available for Sunday’s regular-season finale. The rookie was on a 10-day contract, and he hopes that his play was good enough to earn a summer league opportunity with the Grizzlies or another NBA team.

The Cavaliers are locked into the No. 4 seed regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s games, so most of their key contributors won’t play. The exception is Strus, and given the time he missed after undergoing offseason foot surgery, managers in active fantasy leagues should not expect to see him on the court for too long. The other four starters should play significant minutes, although Tyson only recently returned from an injury.

The Cavaliers are locked into their playoff seed, so most of the team’s key contributors will not play on Sunday. Max Strus and Jaylon Tyson aren’t on the injury report, but with both having missed time due to injury, their minutes will likely be limited against the Wizards.

After being inactive for two games, Rupert was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench at first, but he ended up starting the second half. His shot was inefficient, but he was able to contribute across the board in the box score. The former second-round pick signed a two-way deal with Memphis in February and is still only 21 years old. He still holds enough upside for dynasty managers to consider him as a stash, but it is unlikely this production carries over into next season.

Mashack recorded the dreaded quadruple-double. The triple-double part was nice, but the 10 turnovers really put a damper on his outing. The rookie has had some strong outings this year, specifically as a source of steals. This type of production only happens in April. Mashack should have a productive career as a rotation defender, but managers shouldn’t expect many more triple-doubles in his future.

Whitehead scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half, and he ended up sitting most the way after that, which prevented him from having a bigger night. The former five-star prospect never figured things out due to injuries, but he is still a talented young scorer. He has been able to prove that while on a 10-day for Memphis, but it will take more than that for him to earn a standard contract ahead of next season.

Williamson is playing on a 10-day contract, and Utah rolled him out for all 48 minutes of this game. He wasn’t efficient with his shot, but he was able to record the first double-double of his career. Williamson went undrafted in 2022 and is just now getting his first NBA stint. He has been able to put together some decent games, but he won’t play this large of a role next season.

With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) sidelined for this game, Harden was the primary source of offense for Cleveland. He did most of his work in the first half but still ended up leading the team in scoring. This was an ugly loss, but the Cavs were without multiple starters, so they were clearly fine with the outcome. Harden has been a big piece for Cleveland since he was traded and helped them be one of the best teams in the East since the trade deadline. He’ll certainly give them a chance to make a deep run in the playoffs.

Following a 10-game absence with a toe injury, Tyson was back in the lineup to take on Atlanta. He was able to have a strong showing across the board in the box score, but with the Cavs shorthanded for this game, it wasn’t enough for them to get a win. Tyson got off to a strong start to this season, which helped keep Cleveland afloat while they were battling so many other injuries. He has cooled off with the team healthier over the past couple months, but he’ll still be an important piece for them during the postseason and is a valuable piece for this team’s future.

On the heels of a 16-point, eight-rebound performance against the Hawks on Wednesday, Allen won’t take the floor in Friday’s rematch.

Clayton’s stretch of productive games continued on Wednesday. He scored the ball well in his 22 minutes and showcased a little bit of playmaking ability in the process. While the rookie guard didn’t have a dominant line, his 15 points marked the fifth straight game he’s finished with double-digit points. The Grizzlies play two more games before their season concludes; Clayton could remain in a featured role the rest of the way.

Hendricks was productive despite playing only 22 minutes on Wednesday. He shot the ball well overall and capitalized on his few three-point attempts, allowing him to score in double figures for a second consecutive game. The fourth-year forward also contributed on the glass and finished as the only Grizzlies player to record at least one block and steal apiece. Hendricks has been a more productive player during his brief time in Memphis than he was previously in Utah. He’ll have an opportunity to finish the regular season strong.

Coward needed only 22 minutes of game action to finish as the game’s leading scorer. He was dialed in from beyond the arc, took advantage of his free-throw attempts, and made the most of his scoring inside the arc.

For the first time since March 21-24, Harden has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. However, he was anything but efficient against the Hawks. Harden shot 2-of-13 from inside the arc on Wednesday, sinking his overall field-goal percentage. The good news for fantasy managers in active leagues is that he committed just two turnovers. Harden will look to put together a better shooting night when the Cavaliers visit the Hawks on Friday.

Cleveland’s frontcourt tandem of Mobley and Jarrett Allen had the size advantage on Wednesday, and they took advantage. The former matched his career-high with 19 rebounds while also recording 22 points and three blocked shots. Allen contributed a stat line of 16 points, eight rebounds and two steals. While Cleveland can still grab the third seed in the East, Wednesday and Friday’s games against the Hawks are more likely to be previews of a first-round series.

After a relatively quiet first half, Mitchell upped his production during the third quarter. The Cavaliers outscored the Hawks by a 44-20 margin in the frame, with Mitchell scoring 13 of those 44 points. Cleveland remains a game behind the Knicks in the loss column for third in the East, and they’re going to need some help to move up since New York holds the tiebreaker. Cleveland finishes the regular season with games against the Hawks and Wizards.

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.

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.

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.
