  • VJ Edgecombe SG | PHI

    76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Continues to struggle with shot

    Edgecombe supplied five points (1-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 128-113 victory over the Clippers.

    It was a miserable shooting night for Edgecombe, who's experiencing a cold snap of late. The 2025 first-rounder is shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor over his last seven games, during which Edgecombe has averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.1 minutes per game.

  • Kris Dunn PG | LAC

    Clippers' Kris Dunn: Another quiet scoring effort

    Dunn had six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 128-113 loss to the 76ers.

    The absence of James Harden (personal) didn't translate into a noticeable boost in usage for Dunn on Monday. Dunn remains strictly a fantasy streamer for swipes, averaging 6.1 points, 3.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 26.0 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Downgraded to doubtful

    Williams is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Celtics with a right lower-leg contusion

    After being listed as questionable, Williams is now unlikely to play Tuesday. Ryan Nembhard could now see enough playing time at point guard to work his way into the streaming mix in deeper fantasy leagues.

  • Alex Caruso PG | OKC

    Thunder's Alex Caruso: Upgraded to questionable

    Caruso is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando with a right adductor strain, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    The Thunder have upgraded Caruso from doubtful to questionable, signaling that the swingman has a real chance to end a seven-game absence. Caruso's return would slightly cut into the minutes of Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort on the wing.

  • Mavericks' D'Angelo Russell: Doubtful for Tuesday

    Russell (illness) is now doubtful for Tuesday's game versus Boston.

    This news is unlikely to have a major impact in fantasy hoops, as Russell hasn't seen rotation minutes for Dallas since Jan. 10. He'll be a name to watch at the trade deadline.

  • Amen Thompson SG | HOU

    Rockets' Amen Thompson: Plays well in win

    Thompson closed with 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 118-114 win over the Pacers.

    Thompson secured his 10th double-double of the campaign as the Rockets improved to 31-17 on the season. The forward has produced third-round value in nine-category formats over his last eight games with 15.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks.

  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Fares well off bench

    Kalkbrenner registered 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 18 minutes during Monday's 102-95 victory over the Pelicans.

    Moussa Diabate, who has been on a heater for several weeks, finally cooled off with a dud in 28 minutes Monday. Kalkbrenner does have upside if he can get his minutes back into the 20s, making him worth watching closely in the coming days.

  • Derik Queen C | NO

    Pelicans' Derik Queen: Strong showing in loss

    Queen accumulated 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.

    This was a terrific showing for the rookie as he continues to be a bright spot for the club. Although the Pelicans do not have their first-round pick this season, the team may end up being sellers at the trade deadline. If they unload a player or two, Queen could potentially see a bump in usage.

  • Micah Potter PF | IND

    Pacers' Micah Potter: Listed as questionable

    Potter is questionable for Tuesday's game against Utah with a left hip contusion.

    Potter is at risk of sitting out the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set. The 27-year-old big man could play a significant role if he's able to suit up Tuesday, given that the Pacers are down four members of their starting lineup.

  • Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Sitting out Tuesday

    Mathurin (rest) is out for Tuesday's game against Utah.

    Mathurin is joining three other Pacers starters as a spectator for rest purposes Tuesday. The expectation is that the swingman will return to action Friday in Milwaukee. With Indiana missing so many key players, Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy appear to be strong streaming options in the backcourt.
