Jones racked up 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 132-107 win over Memphis.

With Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both out for at least one more week, Jones remains worth rostering in the majority of fantasy formats. Jones has averaged 17.6 points, 4.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 29.4 minutes per tilt in his last nine games (seven starts) while shooting an efficient 57.8 percent from the floor.

Daniels ended Monday's 124-112 win over Orlando with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes.

Daniels picked up his 11th double-double of the campaign as the Hawks improved to 37-31 on the season. Daniels is trending up in fantasy hoops, posting second-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games with averages of 13.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Giddey finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 132-107 win over Memphis.

Giddey continues to pile up triple-doubles, accomplishing this feat in five of his last seven appearances. The star guard appears primed to cap off the campaign on a high note after missing some time with a hamstring injury in February. Over his last seven outings, Giddey has averaged 19.0 points, 12.0 assists, 11.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 36.4 minutes per game.

Johnson chipped in 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.

Due to some poor shooting and low minutes, Johnson has struggled to generate much momentum in fantasy hoops. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.3 three-pointers on 36.0 percent shooting from the field.

Gill closed Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors with four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

With Alex Sarr (toe) out Monday, Sarr saw a major workload in the loss. Gill's upside remains very low, however, making him a lukewarm streaming option Tuesday against Detroit, even with several players sitting out for Washington.

Bryant supplied 10 points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers.

The one-and-done freshman from Arizona hasn't consistently contributed as a rookie, but he's appeared in 57 games with the parent club and shown flashes of elite defense. Monday marked his seventh game with a double-digit scoring total, but his role will likely decrease when Luke Kornet (knee) and Dylan Harper (calf) are cleared to return.

Etienne posted 15 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Monday's 114-95 loss to Portland.

The two-way player is beginning to carve out a role at the NBA level, appearing in five consecutive games for the Nets. Etienne has now scored in double digits in back-to-back contests during this span, and his playing time is worth monitoring as Brooklyn starts to embrace a youth movement down the stretch of a lost season.

Spencer registered 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 125-117 win over Washington.

This was a decent showing for Spencer, but he remains a low-end fantasy asset despite the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). Over his last seven games, Spencer is averaging 8.6 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.1 minutes per contest.

Highsmith provided 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 120-112 loss to the Celtics.

The 16 points were a season high for Highsmith, who continues to slowly work his way back from offseason right knee surgery from a workload perspective. Over his first four appearances of the year, Highsmith has averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.8 minutes per game.

Jones amassed 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 24 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.

Jones has typically stepped up when Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is absent, but a poor shooting night thwarted that possibility. The support role for Leonard has fallen to Bennedict Mathurin with more frequency, although it was Jordan Miller's 22-point pop from the bench that absorbed a good chunk of Leonard's lost output Monday.
