Smith amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one block across seven minutes during Saturday's 123-122 loss to Houston.

Smith has seen the floor in only three of the past four games, averaging 10.2 minutes per game during that span. Despite his defensive upside, Smith simply isn't playing enough to be trusted outside of very deep leagues. The fact that his playing time is down despite the absence of both Norman Powell (calf) and Andrew Wiggins (toe) is worrying.

Clayton ended with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 loss to Charlotte.

Clayton returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his last two outings. Even though he didn't turn heads with his play as he's done in past outings, Clayton continues to find ways to remain productive in his rookie year. The former Florida standout has scored in double digits in four of his last seven appearances regardless of whether he's starting or not.

Bane racked up 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.

Bane continues to deliver consistent production on a game-to-game basis, having not missed any of Orlando's 70 contests in 2025-26. The star swingman has averaged 21.8 points, 4.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 34.2 minutes per tilt in his last nine games, shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

Hendricks amassed 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 25 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 loss to Charlotte.

Hendricks moved back to the bench with the return of GG Jackson (knee) to the first unit, but he still found a way to be productive on both ends of the court. Hendricks has scored in double digits in five of his last six games regardless of his role, so he's a player worth keeping close tabs on most formats. If available in your league, he could be a decent addition from the waiver wire.

Jackson ended Saturday's 124-101 loss to the Hornets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.

Jackson was one of the few standout performers for the Grizzlies in this blowout loss, and while he posted a decent scoring line, his struggles from three-point range are worrisome. The Grizzlies don't have much to play for in the final stages of the season, so Jackson is one of several young players who should continue to see steady minutes. That said, his recent injury history might lead the Grizzlies to rest him at times. He's been productive when available, as this was his fifth straight game with at least 15 points.

Suggs ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.

Suggs looks to be just about all the way back from a back issue that cost him some time in late February. The fifth-year guard has averaged 14.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest in his last seven games, tallying at least one steal in each game.

Diabate had 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 win over the Grizzlies.

Diabate has started in every one of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break, and while the big man often plays a secondary role on offense, he was able to leave his mark this time around. That said, Diabate has scored in double digits just three times in that span, so it's hard to trust him for sustained production even if he has a steady role in the first unit. Diabate has excellent upside in category-based leagues, but in standard point-based formats, he's better suited to be a streaming, matchup-based alternative.

Harper posted 24 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 134-119 win over the Pacers.

Harper matched his career high with 24 points, making the most of his temporary promotion. With Devin Vassell (hamstring) and Stephon Castle (hip) both sidelined, Harper was given the starting nod for the first time in his young career. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, managers shouldn't expect nights like this all too often. Assuming Castle and Vassell are back in the lineup sooner rather than later, Harper would go back to being nothing more than a streaming consideration.

Miller chipped in 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 win over the Grizzlies.

LaMelo Ball tends to carry the Hornets offensively on a game-to-game basis, but Miller certainly made his presence felt in this game with an efficient shooting display. Miller has reached the 20-point threshold in three of his last five appearances, and he's achieved that mark in nine of his 16 contests since the All-Star break. He's been thriving as the Hornets' No. 2 option on offense this season.

Ball notched 29 points (9-19 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 win over Memphis.

Ball has been the barometer for the Hornets in recent weeks, and he's been delivering outstanding performances with remarkable consistency. The star floor general has scored at least 29 points in three of his last five appearances, and he's also carrying a streak of productivity. He has scored at least 15 points in all but one of his 16 outings since the All-Star break while also shooting 37.5 percent from three-point range.
