Middleton contributed eight points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Lakers.

Since joining Dallas, Middleton has seen a very modest role on the wings. Through two appearances, he's averaging 21.5 minutes with 10.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists. It's hard to imagine his minutes trending up much after the All-Star break.

Thompson provided nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Lakers.

After getting a day of rest Tuesday, Thompson was back in his usual role Thursday. The Mavericks likely won't be playing for much down the stretch, so it's really hard to get excited about Thompson's outlook.

Konchar ended with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Konchar is not a scorer, but his ability to generate rebounds, assists and defensive stats can make him appealing in category formats. There are a lot of minutes up for grabs in Utah due to Jaren Jackson's injury and the constant maintenance of key players, making Konchar a player to monitor.

Hinson recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Hinson, who was recently signed to a two-way contract, put together an impressive shift in the frontcourt for Utah. Player development will be a focus down the stretch, and with Jaren Jackson (knee) likely done for the season, Hinson may get more opportunities.

Camara finished Thursday's 135-119 win over Utah with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.

Heading into the All-Star break, Camara hasn't quite lived up to his offseason hype. Across 56 appearances, he's holding onto 13th-round value in nine-category formats with 13.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers. His counting stats have been solid, but his inefficient shooting has held him back.

Krejci chipped in 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over Utah.

Krejci appears to be finding his form with his new team, and he took advantage of some injuries once again. Over his last two outings, Krejci has averaged 14.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers.

Wiggins produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to Milwaukee.

The Thunder are currently navigating several key injuries, but the team remains very deep on the wings, making it hard for Wiggins to produce much fantasy appeal. Across 41 appearances, he's averaging 23.8 minutes with 10.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers per contest.

Caruso registered nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to Milwaukee.

Heading into the All-Star break, Caruso's fantasy appeal is quite limited compared to previous seasons. He's averaging 18.4 minutes across 37 appearances with 6.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 43.4 percent shooting from the field. He's strictly a deep-league fantasy asset for now.

Topic (illness) supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to Milwaukee.

Topic played in one preseason contest this season before undergoing surgery in October to treat testicular cancer, so after playing in a pair of G League games earlier this week as part of his ramp-up process, it was a major success to see him back on the court Thursday in his NBA debut. The No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Topic is a talented young guard, but he faces a tough path to consistent minutes in a crowded Thunder backcourt.

Thomas notched 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 20 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 victory over the Thunder.

After erupting for 34 points (12-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Magic, Thomas cooled off in a big way Thursday. However, the usage was encouraging, and it's clear that the Bucks are comfortable giving him the green light in this offense.
