Shaedon Sharpe delivered a spectacular one-handed dunk, marking a standout moment in a career-best 36-point performance that led the Portland Trail Blazers to a 129-121 victory over the Washington Wizards. He shot 13 of 26 from the field and sealed the game by sinking all four of his free throws in the last minute, helping Portland secure a fourth-quarter lead. Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson supported with 16 points each, keeping the Blazers focused on the Western Conference play-in spots.

The Wizards, despite Jordan Poole's 24 points and Richaun Holmes' career-high 20, struggled to maintain momentum. Holmes proved effective, finishing 7 of 7 from the field, while the Wizards sought their first back-to-back wins since early February. Portland's solid offensive execution was evident in their advantage in field goal attempts, outshooting Washington 101-83.

Franz Wagner and Anthony Black led the Orlando Magic to a convincing 110-90 victory over the Washington Wizards, each scoring 23 points in the game. Black particularly shined in the second half, scoring 18 of his career-high points during that stretch. Paolo Banchero contributed with an additional 19 points, helping the Magic pull away decisively.

On the other hand, the Wizards struggled with injuries, missing key players like Alex Sarr and Khris Middleton. Despite leading early, their defensive lapses allowed the Magic to dominate the second half, highlighted by a 22-6 run that extended their lead significantly. The Wizards suffered their sixth consecutive loss, dropping their record to a dismal 9-47.

Monday's NBA action brought a wave of unfortunate injuries, notably for Deandre Ayton who left with a calf injury that could sideline him. If Ayton misses time, rookie Donovan Clingan, who impressed with 21 points and solid rebounding stats, becomes a must-add in fantasy leagues. With Clingan's averages of nearly 10 rebounds per game, he can fill the void effectively.

In Dallas, Max Christie has been thriving post-trade, putting up notable numbers that make him a solid pick-up. Meanwhile, Olivier-Maxence Prosper stepped up with Daniel Gafford out, showcasing the potential for increased roles in the Mavs' struggling lineup.

Oklahoma City's Aaron Wiggins continues to excel, while KJ Simpson shined in LaMelo Ball's absence. Richaun Holmes is solidifying his starting spot for the Wizards, and Caris LeVert is gaining traction with increased minutes following a teammate's injury. Wrapping up, Isaiah Collier's performance highlights his growing significance in the league.

The Washington Wizards face a setback with Malcolm Brogdon's injury, now classified as a plantar fascia contusion. This change signifies a potentially lengthy recovery, as healing times vary significantly, and there is currently no defined timetable for his return.

His situation worsens the Wizards' injury woes, as they also miss Saddiq Bey and Marvin Bagley III due to long-term knee injuries and Tristan Vukcevic with an ankle issue. Meanwhile, there is hope for the return of Jordan Poole, Richaun Holmes, and others who are dealing with minor injuries.

The Philadelphia 76ers secured a 109-103 victory against the Washington Wizards, improving their record to 15-20 while the Wizards fell to 6-29. Tyrese Maxey was the standout performer, scoring 29 points, with 21 of them coming in the second half. His coach, Nick Nurse, noted Maxey’s struggle in the first half but praised his significant contributions late in the game.

Guerschon Yabusele also played a crucial role, adding 21 points and making five three-pointers. Despite a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Sixers nearly let the game slip away, but Maxey’s late layup and Yabusele’s block helped secure the win.
