Tyrese Proctor scored 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3PT), grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out eight assists in 35 minutes off the bench Sunday, helping Cleveland to a 130-117 win over Washington.
Fantasy Impact: Proctor established career-highs in points (22), rebounds (11), and assists (8) to cap off his rookie campaign on Sunday. He ended the season with three straight games scoring in double figures and averaged 11.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 18.4 minutes per game in April. However, Proctor averaged only 10.9 minutes during his rookie season and likely won't see a ton of action during Cleveland's postseason run.
Nae'Qwan Tomlin scored a career-high 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3PT, 4-4 FT) and added eight rebounds and five assists as the Cavaliers knocked off the Wizards, 130-117, on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Tomlin surpassed his previous career-high of 24 points he scored against Indiana on April 13, 2025, and was just his second career 20-point effort. Tomlin averaged 10.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in four games in April. He should see a roughly 10-15 minutes off the bench per game for the Cavaliers during their postseason run.

Jamir Watkins scored a career-high 24 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3PT, 5-6 FT) and added four rebounds and three assists as the Wizards dropped a 130-117 decision to the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Watkins broke the previous high of 20 points he scored exactly a week prior with his 24-point effort on Sunday. He hit a career-best five triples and had at least one three-pointer in seven straight games. He averaged 10.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 23.5 minutes per game in 23 contests after the All-Star break. He should be a big part of the Wizards' future moving forward.
Donovan Clingan scored 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3PT) and grabbed 10 rebounds in Portland's 122-110 win over Sacramento on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Clingan posted his fourth consecutive double-double - and his 37th of the season - to end the year on a high note. The second-year center averaged career-highs in points (12.1), rebounds (11.6), assists (2.1), and blocks (1.7) this season. He averaged a double-double in every month except October and will be a key component for the Blazers heading into their play-in game against the Suns on Tuesday.
Deni Avdija scored 25 points (9-19 FG, 5-9 3PT, 2-3 FT) and added six rebounds and ten assists in Portland's 122-110 victory over Sacramento on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Avdija posted his 19th double-double of the season and recorded his 12th game with at least 10 assists. He finished the season averaging a career-best 24.2 points in 66 games this season, breaking his previous high of 16.9 points he averaged last season. Avdija was even better in April, posting 28.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 7.0 assists in five games during the month. He's on a roll entering Portland's play-in game against the Suns on Tuesday night.
Andre Drummond scored 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3P) with 12 rebounds, three assists, and two stocks in the Sixers’ 126-106 win over the Bucks.
Fantasy Impact: Drummond had himself a nice double-double in the blowout win over the Bucks, outplaying starting center Adem Bona. Drummond has averaged over 14 RPG over his last three but should see his workload decrease as we head into the postseason, provided the Sixers see Joel Embiid return.
Justin Edwards scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-8 3P) with a rebound, two assists, and four steals in the Sixers’ 126-106 win over the Bucks on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Edwards had one of the best games of any on the team, getting some extended minutes thanks to a blowout game. He will likely be out of the rotation for the Sixers come playoffs, but he could find himself some playing time in blowout games or when depth is needed.
Nique Clifford scored 24 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-4 FT) and added seven rebounds and five assists in Sacramento's 122-110 loss to Portland on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Clifford finished the year with five straight double-digit scoring efforts and averaged 17.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in six April contests. He posted 13.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 23 games after the All-Star break. Clifford played a big part for the short-handed Kings down the stretch and likely worked himself into a part of the future in Sacramento.

Maxime Raynaud scored 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 4-4 FT) and grabbed nine rebounds in Sacramento's 122-110 loss to Portland on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Raynaud capped off a solid rookie campaign with his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort and his 12th such game in his last 13 outings. The rookie was having a decent start to his first NBA season by averaging 9.8 points and 6.6 rebounds prior to the All-Star break. However, he really came into his own post-break, averaging 17.3 points and 9.2 rebounds while shooting 59.2% from the floor over his final 26 games. While he won't win Rookie of the Year, he should receive some votes for the honor and he should be a big part of the future in Sacramento.
Obi Toppin scored 21 points (7-12 FG, 7-11 3PT) in Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Toppin finished off the regular season in style Sunday, tying his career high in three-pointers made with seven. Even more impressively, the veteran forward did it in just over 18 minutes of action. Toppin wraps up his sixth NBA season with averages of 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.5 treys (35.2%) over 24 games. He will hope for a healthier campaign next season.
Precious Achiuwa scored a game-high 27 points (10-21 FG, 0-3 3PT, 7-11 FT) and grabbed 11 rebounds in Sacramento's 122-110 loss to Portland on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Achiuwa posted his 12th double-double of the season with nine of those coming after the All-Star break. Achiuwa closed out his sixth NBA season averaging 15.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in nearly 31 minutes per game following the break. Achiuwa averaged a career-best 10.1 points per game in his first season in Sacramento and proved he can put up some quality numbers when given an opportunity.
Micah Potter put up 15 points (6-13, 3-10 3PT) and pulled down 11 rebounds in Sunday's loss to the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Potter closed out the regular season with his third straight double-double and fourth of the final five games. In that span, the 28-year-old big averaged 15.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.2 treys (39.3%) per contest.
Quentin Grimes scored 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3P, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds, five assists, and a steal in the Sixers’ 126-106 win over the Bucks on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Grimes has ping-ponged from 5, 20, 4, and now 20 points in the Sixers last four games. He should continue to see decent minutes off the bench in the Sixers play-in bid, and should they make th playoffs have a solid role. His production will just be a little volatile.
De'Aaron Fox led the Spurs with 24 points (8-21 FG, 4-14 3PT, 4-4 FT) and added six rebounds and five assists in San Antonio's 128-118 loss to Denver on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Fox reached double figures in scoring in all seven of his games in April and finished the month averaging 18.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists. It was his best scoring month since posting 19.8 points in 13 games in December. He'll be a key factor to the success of the second-seeded Spurs during their postseason run.
Paul Reed finished with 26 points (11-11 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and three steals in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact: What an outstanding all-around performance from Reed, who got a start in place of All-Star Jalen Duren (knee). Reed did not miss a single shot from the field or free-throw line, leading all scorers in the game. The six-year vet also got it done on the defensive side, swatting three shots and coming up with three steals.
Stephon Castle scored 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-3 3PT, 2-4 FT), grabbed 11 rebounds, and handed out nine assists in San Antonio's 128-118 loss to Denver on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Castle narrowly missed his sixth triple-double of the season, falling just an assist shy of turning the trick. Castle finished the year reaching double figures in scoring in nine consecutive games and averaged 16.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 9.4 assists in five April contests.

Cade Cunningham finished with seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3PT), 14 assists, and eight rebounds in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact: The important thing for Cunningham and the Pistons is that the All-Star point guard played roughly 76 minutes over the final three games of the season. Cunningham's shot was not there Sunday, but he superbly facilitated the Pistons' offense. Over these final three games of the regular season, Cunningham averaged 11.3 points, 10.3 assists, and 5.0 rebounds. He will now lead the 60-win Pistons into the playoffs.
Tobias Harris finished with 24 points (9-12 FG, 4-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, and three steals in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact: Harris closed the regular season with a nice showing Sunday, topping 20 points for the first time in his last eight games. The Pistons reached an even 60 wins with this victory, and Harris has been a significant contributor to that success with averages of 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists over 63 games.
Jonas Valanciunas scored 16 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3PT) and grabbed 11 rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench on Sunday in Denver's 128-118 win over San Antonio.
Fantasy Impact: Valanciunas played most of his minutes in the second half as Nikola Jokic sat out the final 24 minutes. He posted his second straight double-double - and fifth of the season - and ended the year on a four-game double-digit point-scoring streak. Despite only averaging 15.4 minutes per game in April, Valanciunas averaged 14.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in six games during the month. He'll spell Jokic off the bench during the postseason.
Corey Kispert scored 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3PT, 2-3 FT) in Sunday's 143-117 loss to the Heat.
Fantasy Impact: The Hawks, already locked into a playoff spot in the East, rested their regulars on Sunday, giving others an opportunity to step up. Kispert took advantage, as he got hot from three-point range and put up his highest point total since February. In his 39 games since being dealt to the Hawks back in January, Kispert has averaged 9.2 points while shooting 35.4% from long range.
