Rollins finished Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers with 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 39 minutes.

Rollins turned in an efficient performance and was Milwaukee's second-leading scorer, albeit in a losing effort. The 23-year-old point guard also tied his season-high mark in rebounds and has grabbed at least seven boards in three of his last six appearances. Additionally, he matched his season best in blocks and has tallied at least one swat in five of his last seven games. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) expected to miss an extended period and Kevin Porter (oblique) without a timetable for a return, the Bucks will need Rollins to continue stepping up on the offensive end.

Portis provided 17 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, Portis stepped into the starting five and recorded his seventh double-double of the season. The veteran big man grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, matching his season high. He also dished out a team-high-tying eight assists, finishing one shy of his season high. Portis should continue to see increased run for as long as Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

Turner ended with 31 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers.

Turner turned in his best offensive performance of the season Tuesday, dropping a team- and season-high 31 points. However, he was less productive on the glass, grabbing fewer than five boards for the fourth time in nine January appearances. On a more positive note, the 29-year-old big man tied the game-high mark in blocks and has recorded eight swats over his last two appearances. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) expected to miss an extended period, the Bucks will need Turner to continue stepping up on the offensive end.

Embiid ended Tuesday's 139-122 victory over Milwaukee with 29 points (11-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes.

Embiid was unable to extend his streak of 30-plus-point performances to five, though he put together a solid stat line. The star big man finished as Philadelphia's second-leading scorer, and he has now reached the 20-point threshold in 17 consecutive contests. He also grabbed a team-high nine rebounds and has recorded at least nine boards in four straight games. During that span, he has averaged 32.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists across 36.0 minutes per contest.

McCain produced 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three assists and one rebound over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 victory over the Bucks.

McCain made his second appearance following a five-game span in which he logged just one minute, and he impressed in the second half of this back-to-back set. After scoring 16 points in Monday's loss to Charlotte, the second-year guard chipped in 17 points Tuesday, leading the bench in scoring. He set a new season-high mark in triples and has knocked down at least four in back-to-back outings. While he isn't guaranteed significant playing time on a nightly basis, performances like these bode well for him moving forward.

Maxey registered 22 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and three rebounds in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 win over Milwaukee.

After scoring a season-low six points on 3-of-12 shooting from the field in Monday's blowout loss to Charlotte, Maxey bounced back in the second leg of this back-to-back set. While he struggled with efficiency from beyond the arc yet again, the star point guard finished as Philadelphia's third-leading scorer and reached the 20-point threshold for the 13th time in 15 January appearances. He also dished out a game-high nine assists.

Dort posted 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 win over New Orleans.

Dort turned in a relatively well-rounded line in Tuesday's win, though his production was somewhat marred by his involvement in a brief shoving match with New Orleans' Jeremiah Fears following the contest that required both players to be separated. Neither player threw a punch in the altercation, so Dort may be able to avoid any sort of suspension from the league before the Thunder's next game Thursday in Minnesota.

Holmgren closed Tuesday's 104-95 victory over the Pelicans with 20 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 33 minutes.

Holmgren didn't register any defensive stats during Sunday's loss to the Raptors, but he made a defensive impact early in Tuesday's game, stuffing Saddiq Bey at the rim on the Pelicans' second possession. Holmgren has scored at least 20 points in three of his past five appearances, and he has multiple blocks in three of those outings.

Gilgeous-Alexander ended Tuesday's 104-95 victory over New Orleans with 29 points (8-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 13-14 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander got off to a rough start Tuesday, putting up six straight bricks to begin the game, but he found his rhythm after some trips to the line and got hot after halftime. This was Gilgeous-Alexander's first game without any defensive statistics since Jan. 4, but fantasy managers can expect that to change Thursday in Minnesota.

Williamson had 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 loss to the Thunder.

Williamson got off to a slow start, heading into halftime with just six points on four shots, but he flipped the switch in the second half. He scored 15 of his 21 points after the break on an ultra-efficient 6-for-7 shooting line. The outing marked Williamson's third straight 20/10 double-double and his first perfect night at the charity stripe since Dec. 22.
