LaRavia ended with five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks.

The Lakers have turned to LaRavia effectively as a full-time starter in favor of Rui Hachimura, as LaRavia has started each game since Dec. 30. However, the results have been fairly lackluster, with LaRavia averaging 5.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last nine games.

Clingan had eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 27 minutes during Sunday's 130-111 loss to the Cavaliers.

Clingan struggled in the scoring column but finished one assist shy of his season-high mark. The second-year center also recorded a team-best 12 rebounds and has grabbed double-digit boards in four of his last five outings. Additionally, he tied the game high in blocks and has swatted 10 shots over his last four games. During that four-game span, he has averaged 9.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.3 assists in 26.8 minutes per contest.

Hachimura amassed 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks.

After beginning the season as a full-time starter, Hachimura is falling into a consistent reserve role. The veteran forward's playing time could take another hit once Austin Reaves (calf) rejoins the lineup as well. Over his last seven contests (no starts), Hachimura has averaged 11.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.

Quickley notched 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and four steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 107-100 win over the Jazz.

Quickley provided a solid all-around performance and bounced back on the offensive end after totaling 20 points on 36.4 percent shooting from the field in his previous two appearances. The 26-year-old point guard also tallied a game-high four steals, matching his season high. Quickley had another efficient performance from beyond the arc and has shot 50.0 percent from downtown in his last five games, during which he has averaged 16.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.0 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest.

Ball provided three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 130-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Ball recently rejoined the Cleveland rotation and played double-digit minutes for the fifth game in a row, but he hasn't scored more than six points in any of those contests and has shot just 26.7 percent from the field. With the Cavaliers moving De'Andre Hunter over the weekend but getting back two more guards in Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, Ball looks to be at major risk of falling back out of the rotation, perhaps as soon as Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Ivey produced eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 victory over the Nets.

With the Pistons mostly healthy, minutes continue to be difficult to come by in Detroit. If the team ends up being buyers at the trade deadline, it will be interesting to see if Ivey's name pops up as he's currently being underutilized in Detroit.

Adebayo supplied 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 victory over the Bulls.

Despite having his playing time reduced by Sunday's rout, Adebayo nearly turned in a double-double. The star big man is rolling along for fantasy managers, having now scored at least 20 points in eight consecutive games while averaging 23.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 steals per contest during this stretch.

Thompson recorded nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 victory over the Nets.

The Pistons ran away with this game in a hurry, resulting in fewer minutes for their key players. Thompson was a menace defensively and made the most of his modest workload, however. The forward has provided fourth-round value in nine-category formats over his last eight games, averaging 9.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.5 blocks over that stretch.

Vassell closed Sunday's 112-103 victory over Orlando with 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes.

Vassell continues to get his legs back under him following a multi-week absence with an adductor strain. The 16 points were the swingman's most since returning to action, and Vassell has averaged 11.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 26.5 minutes per game over his last four contests.

Raynaud closed with 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 loss to the Wizards.

The rookie second-rounder got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest due to Domantas Sabonis (back) being sidelined. Raynaud was effective in the first unit, finishing as Sacramento's third-leading scorer while matching the team-high mark in rebounds. The Stanford product should continue to see consistent burn off the bench whenever Sabonis is available, and the former is a viable streaming option when he joins the starting five.
