  • Jared McCain SG | OKC

    Thunder's Jared McCain: Sees 12 minutes in win

    McCain registered six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 113-108 victory over the Magic.

    McCain is a very small part of Oklahoma City's rotation, but he may see more action Wednesday against Brooklyn -- Luguentz Dort is one of several players who will get the night off Wednesday. Since joining the Thunder, McCain is shooting 43.2 percent from the field.

  • Bruce Brown SG | DEN

    Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Continues playing limited minutes

    Brown recorded 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 124-96 victory over the 76ers.

    While Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will be rested in Wednesday's game against Memphis, Brown's role and fantasy value have become diminished overall since Gordon returned from a lengthy absence. Brown has averaged 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting 51.6 percent from the floor.

  • Josh Green SF | CHA

    Hornets' Josh Green: Scoreless in 14 minutes

    Green provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat.

    Green remains miles off the fantasy radar as a very small part of Charlotte's rotation. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging just 17.0 minutes per contest.

  • Heat's Simone Fontecchio: Notches 10 points in loss

    Fontecchio had 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 loss to the Hornets.

    The Heat were a little shorthanded Tuesday, allowing Fontecchio to see an expanded role. It's worth noting, however, that Keshad Johnson made a really strong impression on the coaching staff, and he could be a threat to Fontecchio's minutes going forward.

  • Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Stuck in reserve role

    Valanciunas posted eight points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-6 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 124-96 victory over Philadelphia.

    The minutes and boards were both the veteran big man's most since the Feb. 3 loss in Detroit. As long as Nikola Jokic is healthy for the Nuggets, Valanciunas should remain stuck in the No. 2 center spot with limited fantasy upside. Valanciunas has averaged 4.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 8.2 minutes per contest in his last seven games, shooting 56.5 percent from the field.

  • Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Limited impact in win

    Robinson registered eight points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.

    Robinson remains a key part of Detroit's rotation, but his overall fantasy impact has been fairly limited. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 10.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per contest.

  • Kevin Huerter SG | DET

    Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Tame effort in win

    Huerter provided four points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.

    Huerter continues to play a very modest role off the Detroit bench. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 7.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 20.3 minutes per contest.

  • Pete Nance PF | MIL

    Bucks' Pete Nance: Steps up with 13 points off bench

    Nance registered 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers.

    The two-way player matched a season high in minutes Tuesday, providing a lift off the bench. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) set to miss at least one week, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucks take an extended look at Nance, though he's eligible to appear in only three more games through the rest of the season while he remains signed to a two-way deal. The third-year forward still has several obstacles to climb for playing time, as the likes of Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis, Ousmane Dieng and Jericho Sims all remain heavily involved in the Milwaukee rotation.

  • Doug McDermott SF | SAC

    Kings' Doug McDermott: Playing time picking up

    McDermott finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 132-104 loss to the Spurs.

    McDermott is quietly beginning to see some meaningful burn for the Kings, logging at least 25 minutes in three of his past four games. Sacramento's nightly rotations are becoming more difficult to predict at this stage of a lost season, but McDermott's workload will remain worth monitoring in deep fantasy leagues. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 7.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes per tilt in his last four games.

  • Peyton Watson SF | DEN

    Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Ruled out Wednesday

    Watson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

    Although Watson will miss an 18th straight contest due to a right hamstring strain, it sounds like he's on the cusp of making his return to the floor. The Nuggets expressed optimism Monday that Watson would play at some point this week, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, so the forward will next set his sights toward Friday's tilt against Toronto as a possible return date.
