Brooks finished Wednesday's win over the Mavericks with 28 points (11-of-22 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, four three-pointers, three assists, and one steal.
Fantasy Impact: Four three-pointers alongside contributions in three other categories makes for a genuinely useful fantasy line, and the scoring volume gives him real upside on nights the shots are falling.
Booker has now scored 30 or more points in three straight games and five of his last six, and Wednesday's win over the Mavericks was another — 37 points (13-of-27 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), nine assists, five rebounds, and two three-pointers to lead Phoenix.
Fantasy Impact: A perfect night from the free-throw line helped fuel the total, and with the Suns locked into the seventh seed and set to host a Play-In game, Booker's role as the team's offensive centerpiece isn't changing anytime soon.

E.J. Liddell scored a career-high 21 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3PT, 5-5 FT) in 21 minutes to lead the Nets to a 96-90 victory over the Bucks on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Liddell scored at least 20 points in a game for the first time in his career and recorded just the third double-digit scoring effort in 43 career games. Liddell made his second consecutive start and is averaging 18.0 and 4.5 rebounds over those two outings.
Taurean Prince scored 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-12 3PT, 0-0 FT) and grabbed 11 rebounds during the Bucks' 96-90 loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Prince recorded his first double-double of the season in just his fourth start of the year for the Bucks. The veteran has been limited to just 23 games this year, but he is closing strong with his third straight double-digit scoring effort. Prince is averaging 17.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in three games this month.
AJ Green led Milwaukee with 20 points (6-13 FG, 6-12 3PT, 2-2 FT) and grabbed six rebounds during the Bucks' 96-90 loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Green reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season, but his first since scoring 20 against the Pelicans on February 4. It was, however, his fifth double-digit scoring effort in his last six games. Green ranks 12th in the NBA with 212 three-pointers made this season after hitting six more on Tuesday - also his most in a game since February 4. Green is averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in four games this month.

Charles Bassey recorded his first double-double of the season with 14 points (7-12 FG) and 12 rebounds in the Warriors' 110-105 win over the Kings on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Bassey appeared in just his second game with Golden State on Tuesday and is averaging 9.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks with the Warriors. It was his first double-double of the year - the fourth of his career - and his first since December 21, 2024 as a member of the Spurs. Bassey has played 10 games this season, with four different teams, but is having his most success with the Warriors.
Stephen Curry scored 17 points (5-12 FG, 4-11 3PT, 3-3 FT) and added five rebounds and two assists in Golden State's 110-105 win over Sacramento on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Curry came off the bench for the second straight game after missing two months of the season with an injury. Since his return, Curry his averaging 23.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while averaging 25.5 minutes. With the Warriors having clinched a play-in game, Golden State will likely take extra precaution with their star over the last couple of contests to have him in good shape for the postseason.

De'Anthony Melton led Golden State with 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3PT, 3-5 FT) and added four rebounds, five assists, and a steal in the Warriors' 110-105 win over the Kings.
Fantasy Impact: Melton has had an up-and-down couple of weeks as he reached double digits in scoring for the fourth time in eight games. The 21 points were his most in a game since scoring 27 on March 16 against Washington. Melton has played three games in April and is averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists during the month.
Dylan Cardwell scored eight points (4-4 FG), grabbed nine rebounds, and blocked three shots on Tuesday in the Kings' five-point loss to the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact: Cardwell has now blocked at least one shot in five consecutive games and is averaging 3.2 blocks in four games in April. The rookie is averaging nearly 23 minutes per game this month and is posting 7.8 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting 15-of-18 (83.3%) from the field.
Killian Hayes paced the Kings' offense with a season-high 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3PT, 3-4 FT) and chipped in four rebounds, four assists, and four steals in Sacramento's 110-105 loss to Golden State on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Hayes established season-bests in both points (18) and steals (4) while playing 32 minutes on Tuesday night. He reached double digits in scoring for the fourth time in 21 games played this season. Hayes is averaging 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals in four games this month.
The Heat shot just 12-of-44 from three Tuesday, but Wiggins was an exception — connecting on 4-of-7 from deep on his way to 24 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, and four three-pointers in the loss to the Raptors.
Fantasy Impact: The empty defensive stat sheet is the one knock on an otherwise productive night, but 24 points on efficient shooting carries real value regardless.
Poeltl has now hit double figures in seven of his last eight games, and Tuesday continued that run — 17 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in the win over the Heat.
Fantasy Impact: Sandro Mamukelashvili added 11 points and two three-pointers, while Collin Murray-Boyles contributed eight rebounds and two blocks off the bench — a well-rounded effort from all three of Toronto's frontcourt options.
McCain scored in double figures for the first time since March 23 Tuesday — 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three three-pointers, two rebounds, and one assist in 16 minutes of the 36-point blowout over the Lakers.
Fantasy Impact: The even distribution of playing time across 12 Thunder players created the opening, but Oklahoma City's return to full strength has been shrinking his role, making his fantasy value increasingly tied to the team's injury situation.
Holmgren logged just 22 minutes in the blowout win over the Lakers but still delivered a double-double — 15 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one three-pointer. Isaiah Hartenstein was also limited to 10 minutes, with Cason Wallace stepping in to start the third quarter and contributing five points, three assists, and three steals.
Fantasy Impact: Oklahoma City managed its rotation carefully in the lopsided win, which bodes well for the availability of its key players heading into the final games of the regular season.
Joe took all nine of his shots from three-point range Tuesday and made six of them, finishing with 18 points (6-of-9 FGs) and two rebounds in the win over the Lakers.
Fantasy Impact: The three-point shooting is essentially his entire fantasy value, and going 6-of-9 from deep in a blowout makes Tuesday one of his more impactful nights of the season for managers in need of that category.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his NBA-record consecutive 20-point game streak to 139 Tuesday, doing it in just 28 minutes — 25 points (10-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight assists, two steals, two three-pointers, and one rebound in the blowout win over a Lakers team missing Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and LeBron James.
Fantasy Impact: The limited workload in a lopsided win is ideal heading into the final stretch, and 139 straight games with at least 20 points is a record that continues to defy belief.
With Luka Dončić (hamstring), Austin Reaves (oblique), and LeBron James (foot) all out or limited Tuesday, Hachimura had every opportunity to step up — finishing with 15 points (7-of-10 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, one block, one three-pointer, and one assist in the loss to the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact: Going 7-of-10 from the field was encouraging, but missing all three free-throw attempts and the limited contribution elsewhere left something to be desired given the opportunity the absences created.
Garland finished Tuesday's win over the Mavericks with 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four assists, two three-pointers, one steal, and one block.
Fantasy Impact: The scoring was there on manageable volume, and the all-around contribution makes it a useful fantasy line even on a night Kawhi Leonard was clearly the dominant force offensively.
Leonard finished Tuesday's 116-103 win over the Mavericks with 34 points (11-of-19 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), six three-pointers, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal.
Fantasy Impact: He's now appeared in 63 games this season after playing just 37 last year — the availability improvement alone has been one of the bigger fantasy stories of the season, and performances like Tuesday's show he's been worth every start.
Şengün finished Tuesday's win over the Suns with 12 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, and six assists — a double-double that came to life in the fourth quarter, where he recorded three assists and just one turnover as Houston pulled away.
Fantasy Impact: The rebounding and playmaking combination makes this a useful fantasy line despite the shooting inefficiency, and the fourth-quarter steadiness was the difference in the final push.
