George registered 17 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

George tallied double digits for the second straight game, although his playing time remains underwhelming. With Washington clearly shifting into tank mode, it appears as though George is not only going to miss games moving forward, but his playing time could be limited on most nights. While he does remain a must-roster player, managers are going to have to be prepared for some uncertainty.

Riley posted four points (1-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Riley scored in single digits for the second straight game, seemingly having lost his shooting touch. Despite the poor production, it does appear as though he could be locked into a relatively consistent role moving forward, something that certainly can't be said for a number of his teammates. Assuming you can deal with some inefficient shooting, Riley remains someone worth rostering given the fact that he should see close to 30 minutes per game.

Williams notched six points (3-4 FG) and one rebound across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder.

Although Williams is heading into the All-Star break on a low note, fantasy managers have to be pleased with his results as a whole over the first part of the season. The fourth-year big man has played a career-high 50 games during his first year in Phoenix, cementing himself as the Suns' top center. Williams is averaging 12.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, shooting a robust 71.3 percent from the floor.

Bouyea registered 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one block over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder.

With all of Devin Booker (ankle), Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (knee) sitting out Wednesday, Bouyea re-entered the rotation and saw some extra run off the bench during the rout. Bouyea is now averaging 5.2 points, 2.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per tilt in his last nine appearances, but he could find himself back out of the rotation if Phoenix gets all three of its injured guards back following the All-Star break.

Gillespie had six points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder.

Gillespie has been a revelation overall in 2025-26, but he's likely going to have his most competition for playing time of the year if the Suns get back to full strength after the All-Star break. It's possible all of Devin Booker (ankle), Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (knee) are all available by then. Gillespie has averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game in his last eight contests.

Williams (hamstring) didn't return to Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns after exiting with four minutes remaining in the third quarter. He generated 28 points (11-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists and four rebounds prior to departing.

The Thunder didn't shed much light on Williams' injury following the game, but considering that he missed 10 straight games from Jan. 19 to Feb. 7 after straining the same hamstring, expect the Thunder to take a cautious approach with their star forward. The All-Star break is nearing, so Williams would appear likely to sit out Thursday versus the Bucks as the Thunder look to give him additional time to recover.

Williams closed with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns.

With Wednesday's game getting out of hand early, Williams wound up playing the lion's share of the center minutes off the bench. Williams has averaged 10.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes per tilt in his last six games, shooting 41.4 percent from three-point land.

Holmgren recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 victory over Phoenix.

The Thunder mounted and sustained a big lead Wednesday, allowing Holmgren to rest a bit and match his fewest minutes of the campaign. Over his last six appearances, the star big man has averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Pickett (knee) didn't return to Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies after checking out of the game with 6:36 remaining in the second quarter. He finished the game with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across nine minutes.

The Nuggets labeled Pickett as questionable to return to the contest due to right knee soreness, but he didn't end up checking into the game at any point in the second half. He'll have the All-Star break to rest up and recover before Denver's next game Feb. 19 against the Clippers. The Nuggets could get Spencer Jones (concussion) back from a three-game absence coming out of the break, which might result in Pickett losing his spot in head coach David Adelman's rotation.

Dort had nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns.

Although Dort remains a regular member of the starting lineup, he's having a hard time providing much fantasy value. The veteran swingman has scored in single digits in five of his last six games, during which Dort is averaging just 7.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes per contest.
