Harkless supplied 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.
With the Jazz evaluating lots of new rotation players, Harkless has emerged as a key contributor for the team. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 31.7 minutes per contest with 12.6 points, 4.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 38.4 percent shooting from the field.

Anderson had three points (1-6 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Although Anderson saw a considerable workload, he wasn't able to translate it to much fantasy appeal. He's been more involved over his last three games with 21.3 minutes per contest, but he's averaging just 4.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Minutes slowly rising
Thybulle had 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one block and three steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks.
After missing a big chunk of the season due to a knee injury, Thybulle is beginning to see his playing time creep up a bit. He's logged at least 23 minutes in two of his past three games, and Thybulle has recorded a trio of steals in each contest during this stretch.

Donte DiVincenzo SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Notches 17 points in win
DiVincenzo finished Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets with 17 points (6-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes.
While this was a step in the right direction, DiVincenzo has been far from reliable in fantasy hoops. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 30.4 minutes per contest with 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers on 35.6 percent shooting from the field.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Big workload in win
Mitchell ended Wednesday's 120-103 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
Mitchell saw another sizable workload in the win, although his usage was relatively low. Across his last 11 games, he's returning 11th-round value in nine-category formats with 10.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Derrick Jones Jr. SF | LAC
Clippers' Derrick Jones: Quiet in blowout win
Jones ended with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-94 victory over Toronto.
Despite his stable starting role, Jones doesn't tend to see enough usage to offer much fantasy appeal outside of deep settings. The forward has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.7 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 46.2 percent from the floor.
