Harden finished Tuesday's 115-103 victory over the Jazz with 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and four steals across 31 minutes.

Harden was successful on both sides of the ball with significant numbers in assists and steals. His shot volume was a bit lower than usual, but the veteran left most of the heavy lifting in the scoring column to Kawhi Leonard. Thanks to the tandem of Harden and Leonard, the Clippers are the hottest team in the league with a scorching 16-3 run.

Dunn closed Tuesday's 115-103 win over the Jazz with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and five steals in 31 minutes.

Dunn was very effective on defense, padding his fantasy totals with five steals. He also produced 14 points, marking his 15th game with 10 or more points. While his scoring average (7.9 points per game) is still low, decent secondary numbers will often offset a cold shooting night.

Leonard closed Tuesday's 115-103 win over the Jazz with 21 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 28 minutes.

Leonard posted his 25th consecutive game with 20 points or more, and the Clippers continued to soar behind Leonard's nightly contributions. The All-Star showed no ill effects from the knee injury that sidelined him for three games earlier in the month, and the Clippers should continue to rack up wins with Leonard on the court. Leonard is averaging 27.9 points per game this season, rivaling his 26.6 points per game with the championship-winning Raptors in 2018-19.

Williams closed with 11 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 loss to the Suns.

Williams has lost playing time to Drake Powell, but Powell disappeared from the rotation after going scoreless over just eight minutes. His exit was likely due to a lingering knee issue, and the Nets used Williams to pick up the slack. Williams' fantasy value is capped while dealing with Powell and Noah Clowney (back) for playing time.

Demin provided 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 loss to Phoenix.

Demin was dialed in with his shot in the loss, but he was unable to take full advantage of the Suns' depleted backcourt. The rookie has provided solid leadership since taking over the starting role in the backcourt, but he could use an increase in shot volume and assists. Over 40 games, he's averaged 10.4 points, 3.4 assists and 3.0 rebounds.

Porter ended Tuesday's 106-102 loss to the Suns with 36 points (15-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 37 minutes.

Porter's last two games are a tale of opposites. After posting his worst scoring total of the season against the Clippers, he turned around and recorded a season-high 36 points in the narrow loss to the Suns. Porter's seasonal average of 25.2 points has been exceeded 20 times this season. Although his success hasn't translated into more wins for the Nets, he has been one of the most consistent fantasy performers in the Eastern Conference.

Allen logged 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 victory over the Nets.

Allen produced a solid line with Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) on the sidelines. Allen's result was a vast improvement from his previous game, where he connected on only four shots in 18 attempts. After taking 11 shots beyond the arc against the Heat, Allen's shot selection was more measured against Brooklyn, and the more conservative approach worked to his advantage.

Brooks finished with 26 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 victory over Brooklyn.

Brooks was charged with a technical early in the game but managed to avoid ejection despite being involved in a fourth-quarter scuffle that resulted in technicals for five other players. Brooks has been a critical piece of the offense amid Devin Booker's (ankle) absence, scoring 26 points for a second consecutive game.

Williams provided 27 points (13-16 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 victory over the Nets.

Williams exploded with his best scoring total of the season, picking up the slack amid Devin Booker's (ankle) absence. Although the Suns struggled to contain Michael Porter, Williams was effective at keeping Nic Claxton in check. Williams' recent scoring totals have taken a tumble over the past week, primarily due to a lack of shot volume. When he takes 10 or more shots, his results have been universally effective.

Cunningham ended Tuesday's 109-107 win over the Nuggets with 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and one block in 36 minutes.

Cunningham registered his 24th double-double of the season during the win in Denver, and he ranks fourth in the NBA in that category. His 22 points matched Tobias Harris for the team-high mark to go along with 11 dimes and zero turnovers. Cunningham has double-digit assists in four of his past six games and at least one block in four straight.
