Josh Giddey PG | CHI
Bulls' Josh Giddey: Continues to rack up assists
Giddey recorded 15 points (4-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over the Rockets.
Giddey has now piled up double-digit dimes in seven of his last eight contests, recording six double-doubles as well. During that period, the star guard has averaged an excellent 16.5 points, 12.5 assists, 9.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 36.5 minutes per game.

Jamison Battle SF | TOR
Raptors' Jamison Battle: Scores 17 off bench
Battle produced 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 143-127 win over the Jazz.
Battle reached 17 points for just the second time this season, taking advantage of some extra minutes with the Raptors resting some key players. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 12.7 minutes per contest.

Markelle Fultz PG | TOR
Raptors' Markelle Fultz: Debuts in win
Fultz closed Monday's 143-127 victory over the Jazz with two points (1-5 FG), five assists and two steals over 16 minutes.
Fultz, who signed a 10-day contract Tuesday, immediately saw reps with Immanuel Quickley (foot) out for maintenance. Fultz won't be guaranteed minutes on the nights in which Quickley is active, making him a tough sell even in deeper formats.

Oscar Tshiebwe PF | UTA
Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Strong line off bench
Tshiebwe totaled 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 143-127 loss to the Raptors.
The Jazz utilized just eight players Monday as the team continues to hold out key players left and right. This performance was an outlier for Tshiebwe, as he's averaging 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 16.2 minutes over his last four outings.

Kyle Filipowski PF | UTA
Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Sees 30 minutes in loss
Filipowski ended Monday's 143-127 loss to Toronto with six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.
Filipowski couldn't get his shot to fall, but his fantasy managers will be happy with the usage and workload. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Khris Middleton SF | DAL
Mavericks' Khris Middleton: Limited workload in loss
Middleton had two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 12 minutes during Monday's 137-131 overtime loss to Golden State.
Middleton was playing a sizable role for the Mavericks when he first joined the team, but he's now trending in the wrong direction. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 10.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 19.2 minutes per game.

Tre Jones PG | CHI
Bulls' Tre Jones: Stays hot in win
Jones notched 15 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over the Rockets.
With Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both on the shelf, Jones continues to warrant must-roster fantasy status in the majority of formats. Jones has averaged 16.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 29.7 minutes per game across his last nine outings, shooting an efficient 56.6 percent from the floor over that stretch.

Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Notches nine points in loss
Bagley recorded nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and three assists across 14 minutes during Monday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors.
With Daniel Gafford feasting with the first unit, Bagley was limited to scraps off the bench. As long as Gafford is active, Bagley will be a deep-league fantasy asset at best.

Anthony Edwards SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Limited to individual work
Edwards (knee) is still limited to individual work, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Edwards was diagnosed with right knee inflammation back on March 17 and remains without a timetable to return. Head coach Chris Finch ruled out a return Wednesday against Houston, and his fantasy managers may need to prepare for more absences.

Klay Thompson SG | DAL
Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Plays well in loss
Thompson chipped in 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors.
Thompson put together a solid line against his former team. He's in the midst of a decent stretch for the Mavericks, posting averages of 14.2 points, 1.2 assists and 3.6 three-pointers on 47.3 percent shooting over his last five games.
