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.

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.

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.

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.

Buzelis ended Monday's 132-124 victory over the Rockets with 23 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes.

With Nikola Vucevic (finger) in Boston, Buzelis continues to handle a boost in usage and should continue to play a featured role going forward. Buzelis has averaged 23.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals over 34.5 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, scoring at least 18 points seven times during this stretch.

Herro contributed 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.

Herro was one of three players to reach 18 points for Miami, along with Bam Adebayo (18) and Norman Powell (21). He's been a seventh-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games, during which he has averaged 18.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes.

Richards closed with 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during Monday's 132-124 victory over the Rockets.

Although he was unable to carve out a steady role during his time with the Suns, Richards has taken on a key role in the frontcourt since joining the Bulls. The 28-year-old big man has averaged 10.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 23.7 minutes per tilt across his last eight games (three starts), shooting 50.8 percent from the floor over that stretch.

Jakucionis had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to San Antonio.

Jakucionis was a bright spot off the bench for Miami. He's trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.5 minutes per contest during that span.

Payne closed Monday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 26 minutes.

Payne had a terrific showing off the bench and continues to play a key role for a Philadelphia team that has been hammered by injuries of late. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 12.3 points, 3.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 22.0 minutes per contest.

Landale posted 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Monday's 146-107 victory over the Grizzlies.

As long as Onyeka Okongwu remains healthy, fantasy managers can likely find more appealing streaming options at center than Landale. Over his last six appearances, the Australian big man has averaged 7.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 17.7 minutes per game while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor.
