Isaac Okoro SF | CHI
Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Scores 12 in win
Okoro notched 12 points (6-7 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over the Cavaliers.
Okoro bounced back from his five-point showing Sunday, missing just one field goal en route to 12 points. Okoro does not provide much fantasy value. He's averaging 8.6 points per game, so there are likely better and more consistent options on waivers in most leagues.

Coby White PG | CHI
Bulls' Coby White: Scores team-high 25 in win
White contributed 25 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 victory over the Cavaliers.
White has scored at least 20 points in all but one appearance so far, averaging 22.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.1 threes across 29.1 minutes. While White has struggled from beyond the arc, shooting at just a 29.2 percent clip, his volume has been rewarding for fantasy managers who held him despite his injury absence to begin the campaign.

Thomas Bryant C | CLE
Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Grabs six rebounds in loss
Bryant amassed seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
Bryant has recorded back-to-back games with at least six boards, performing well in an increased role while Evan Mobley (calf) remains sidelined. In his last six games, Bryant has averaged 7.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 blocks across 13.5 minutes.

Craig Porter Jr. PG | CLE
Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Records three steals in loss
Porter provided four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
Although Porter is buried on the depth chart, he has been included in the rotation due to numerous injuries and has found ways to contribute. In his last eight games, he's averaged 3.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks across 14.4 minutes.

Lonzo Ball PG | CLE
Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Grabs seven boards in loss
Ball had two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
Ball grabbed at least five rebounds for the 12th game this season, but he has not been shooting the ball well. In 21 games, Ball averages just 5.4 points on 28.8 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three.

Darius Garland PG | CLE
Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Chips in six dimes in loss
Garland contributed 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago.
Garland didn't have a great night shooting the ball, but he has embraced the facilitator role, dishing out at least six assists in his last three games while averaging 6.9 dimes in his past nine appearances. Garland has missed 16 games due to his toe injury, and he has been inefficient with the ball when he is on the court, averaging 15.4 points on just 36.3 percent from the field and 1.9 threes on a meager 29.5 percent clip.

Jarrett Allen C | CLE
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Blocks two shots in loss
Allen closed Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago with 14 points (7-9 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes.
After a lackluster return to action against Charlotte on Sunday, Allen responded with a well-rounded effort Wednesday. Allen is still working his way back from a finger injury that held him out for nine games, but he should hold down Cleveland's center position for the foreseeable future, especially with Evan Mobley (calf) out for a couple of weeks. Allen has played 30 minutes only twice this season and not since Nov. 5.

Jaden McDaniels SF | MIN
Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Productive in loss to Grizz
McDaniels had 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 116-110 loss to Memphis.
The 13 combined boards and dimes were a season high for McDaniels, while he delivered at least one steal and one block for the seventh time in his last 14 games. Over that stretch, the 25-year-old forward is averaging 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 threes and 2.2 combined steals and blocks.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Hits for 21 in Wednesday's loss
Randle racked up 21 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
The veteran forward scored more than 20 points for a sixth straight game while tying his season high in steals, a mark he's reached three times in the last 10 contests. During his six-game scoring surge, Randle is averaging 24.2 points, 6.5 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.0 steals.
