Collier recorded 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets.

Collier recorded at least six assists for the fourth straight game, having also scored in double digits in each game during that same span. Typically viewed as a viable streaming option for anyone needing assists, Collier could be about to step into a slightly larger role. Keyonte George suffered an ankle injury during the loss, forcing him from the game. If George is to miss any additional time, Collier could very well find himself in the starting lineup.

Sensabaugh racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and five rebounds across 26 minutes during Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets.

Sansabaugh scored double digits for the fourth straight game, although he failed to supply managers with anything of note in the peripheral categories. After a slow start to the season, it appears as though Sansabaugh has established himself as a sixth-man option for the Jazz, providing the team with a relatively consistent scoring option off the bench. In six games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 17.2 points and 2.2 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes per contest.

Thomas notched 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes during Friday's 109-99 win over Utah.

Thomas flashed his offensive upside, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in his past 12 games. Despite what he is capable of on the offensive end of the floor, it is clear that Brooklyn doesn't view him as a key piece of its future. He is yet to exceed 25 minutes since returning from injury, instead playing as a microwave scoring option off the bench. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming option for anyone needing points and threes.

Sharpe finished Friday's 109-99 win over Utah with 16 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes.

Sharpe fell one rebound short of what would have been his third double-double of the season, turning in another impressive per-minute performance. He continues to function as a stream-level player, seemingly knocking on the door of standard leagues. In four games over the past week, he has been a top-100 player, averaging 9.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals in just 18.6 minutes per game.

Demin accumulated 25 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 109-99 win over the Jazz.

Demin recorded the first double-double of his career, guiding the Nets to a rare win. While this was obviously a favorable matchup, Demin has looked better in recent times. In three appearances over the past week, he has averaged 17.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 4.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes per game. Despite continued inconsistencies in his production, Demin is likely going a be a must-roster player when all is said and done.

Yabusele provided two rebounds across four minutes during Friday's 127-97 victory over Portland.

Yabusele failed to score for the sixth time in the past eight games, continuing to play as arguably the fourth-string center for the Knicks. After somewhat of a breakout campaign playing for the 76ers last season, Yabusele has simply been unable to carve out a consistent role in New York. In 41 games, he has averaged just 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.9 minutes per contest.

Shamet registered three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 19 minutes during Friday's 127-97 win over the Trail Blazers.

Shamet continues to struggle from the floor, having shot a combined 4-for-19 from the field in the past three games. For a player whose fantasy appeal is built around his ability to score from the perimeter, it has certainly not been an ideal period. Managers should continue to view him as a three-point streamer, although one that comes with an element of risk.

Love closed Friday's 127-97 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 27 minutes.

Love had 12 points off the bench, scoring in double digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Although Love has been somewhat of a surprise thus far, his overall appeal remains limited. In his last 16 appearances, he's averaged 14.3 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game. However, with very little to speak of in the way of peripherals, his rank during that time is outside the top 200, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration for anyone needing threes.

Sarr closed with 16 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 142-111 loss to the Lakers.

Sarr was efficient from inside the arc but struggled from downtown, and he has shot just 26.3 percent from three-point range over his last five outings. Still, the second-year center finished as Washington's second-leading scorer and has reached the 15-point mark in eight straight games. He also chipped in at least five assists for the first time since Nov. 8, and he has dished out five-plus dimes six times this season.

Hansen totaled no counting stats in four minutes during Friday's 127-97 loss to the Knicks.

Hansen appeared during garbage time, continuing what has been a disappointing rookie season thus far. Although he has been able to see the court on most nights over the past month, his playing time remains largely underwhelming. In his last 12 appearances, he has averaged 2.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 8.6 minutes per game. Outside of dynasty formats, he holds no fantasy value at this point.
