Sexton closed with 25 points (6-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 132-124 victory over Houston.

Sexton has now scored at least 20 points in five of his past seven appearances. Despite coming off the bench, he has been able to provide the Bulls with an offensive boost, while also managing to flirt with top-100 value in standard nine-category leagues. For those needing points and threes, he is worth considering as a potential stream option when the schedule lays out nicely.

Isaac (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Isaac will remain sidelined with a left knee sprain. Orlando has yet to provide an update on his availability moving forward, so he can be considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup with the Kings until more information surfaces.

Williams finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 19 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over Houston.

Williams continues to do very little with his time on the floor, sitting well outside the top 300 in five games over the past two weeks, despite averaging 21.5 minutes per contest. As has been the story for much of his career, Williams can't seem to find any sort of rhythm on either end of the court. For fantasy purposes, he holds little to no value, no matter the format.

Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Wagner is in line for another absence while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain. The Magic haven't provided any indications that his return is imminent, so fantasy managers who have been holding him amid his extended absence shouldn't count on him being available for any of the team's remaining two games this week.

Okogie racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in two minutes during Monday's 132-124 loss to Chicago.

Okogie has been mostly a non-factor this season, despite the fact that, for a period of time, he was inserted into the starting lineup. He has now appeared in 16 straight games, averaging 3.3 points and 0.8 three-pointers in 12.6 minutes per contest. While the Rockets seem destined to make the playoffs, depth could certainly be an issue when it matters most.

Black (abdomen) is out for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Black will miss yet another matchup while tending to an abdominal strain. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday against the Kings, though he doesn't appear to be all that close to a return.

Finney-Smith recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across eight minutes during Monday's 132-124 loss to Chicago.

Finney-Smith continues to offer very little in terms of tangible production, having scored no more than five points in 11 of his past 13 appearances. While he does provide Houston with a solid veteran presence, his ability to have an impact on the court is not what it once was. In 34 games this season, he has averaged just 3.1 points in 17.2 minutes.

Suggs (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Suggs sat out of Monday's matchup after waking up under the weather, and the team has now moved forward with downgrading him to out for the second half of Orlando's back-to-back. Jevon Carter drew the start at point guard Monday and should be in position to do so again in Cleveland.

Adebayo produced 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.

Adebayo turned in a subpar performance in a blowout loss for the Heat. The big man was outstanding Saturday with a 32-point, 21-rebound double-double but has looked a bit shaky from the field of late, shooting 40 percent or below in three of his past five games since his 83-point eruption, with two of those outings coming at 30 percent or lower, including Monday. Given the 28-year-old's generally consistent work on the glass -- albeit muted against the Spurs -- and his ability to frequently get to the free-throw line, Adebayo can often still produce even when his efficiency from the field dips.

Powell ended with 21 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.

Powell led his team in scoring in what was a thorough, wire-to-wire loss for the Heat. The veteran's scoring consistency has not waned in his first season with the team, as he's now reached the 20-point mark in 38 of 53 appearances. While he's come off the bench in three of the past four contests, Powell's playing time hasn't been affected, as the wing has logged 30-plus minutes in all four outings.
