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.

Kispert had 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes during Monday's 146-107 win over the Grizzlies.

Kispert remains a difficult fantasy player to roster due to his lack of contributions elsewhere in the box score. The swingman has averaged only 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 14.0 minutes per contest over his last six games, shooting a poor 25.0 percent from downtown during this span.

Johnson provided 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 134-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.

With the Nets riding out the final stretch of a losing season, Johnson is beginning to make his way onto the streaming radar in deep fantasy leagues. Across his last six contests, Johnson has averaged 9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the field.

Murray ended with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 134-99 victory over the Nets.

The absence of Jerami Grant (foot) opened the door to more playing time for Murray, who took advantage of the opportunity by tying a season best in points and setting a season high in dimes. However, Murray is likely to revert to a lesser role once Grant is healthy, which could drop Murray's minutes back under the 20s.

Henderson notched 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 134-99 win over Brooklyn.

The four swipes were a season high for Henderson, who continues to be an effective sixth man for the Trail Blazers. Over his last nine contests, the third-year guard has averaged 15.9 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per game while shooting 47.8 percent from downtown.

Caruso racked up four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.

Caruso saw a very modest workload in the win, as the Thunder deployed a deep rotation. With Jared McCain finding his groove, it's hard to imagine Caruso emerging as anything more than a deep-league fantasy asset.
