Ball had 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers.

Ball couldn't escape the referee's whistle, limited to just 22 minutes as a result of foul trouble. Although he eventually fouled out, Ball was still able to end with a serviceable fantasy line, helping the Hornets to an impressive come-from-behind victory. Look for Ball to make amends when Charlotte travels to Sacramento on Wednesday.

Crawford contributed one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over the Raptors.

Crawford remained in the rotation, albeit for three minutes during garbage time. To this point, Crawford has been a non-factor, averaging just 1.0 points in 5.5 minutes per game, having appeared in 10 games.

Green notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over three minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over Toronto.

Green went scoreless in the win, continuing to serve as nothing more than a garbage-time specialist. Much like Garrett Temple for the Raptors, Green's primary purpose at this point in his career is to provide the young players with a veteran presence. He clearly has no fantasy appeal, even in the deepest of leagues.

Eason chipped in eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over the Raptors.

Eason continues to offer very little on the offensive end of the floor, having now scored single digits in seven of his past eight games. During that time, he has averaged just 6.6 points to go with 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals, leaving him outside the top-150 players in nine-category formats. While he does remain a viable standard league asset, those in the fantasy playoffs may have to part ways with him to open up a streaming spot.

Mamukelashvili supplied eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to Houston.

With Jakob Poeltl sidelined due to illness, Mamukelashvili was inserted into the starting lineup. While the 30 minutes were encouraging, his production was largely underwhelming. For those who picked him up, he is worth holding with the Raptors on the first night of a back-to-back. However, beyond that, he is likely nothing more than a stream-level player.

Temple provided no counting stats across three minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Rockets.

Temple dusted off the cobwebs, appearing in a game for just the third time in the past 15 games. Those three appearances add up to a total of 10 minutes, bringing his season average to 2.9 minutes per game across 16 contests. At this point in his career, Temple is nothing more than a locker room presence.

Kispert supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Mavericks.

Kispert scored just two points, failing to reach double digits for the ninth time in the past 11 games. While he does provide the Hawks with another floor-spacing option, Kispert offers very little upside across the board. In 25 appearances since joining Atlanta, he has averaged just 10.0 points and 1.6 three-pointers, barely putting up top-300 value.

Giddey accumulated 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and 17 assists in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime victory over the Warriors.

Giddey played a big role in Chicago's comeback win, though it was Matas Buzelis who captured the spotlight by pouring in 41 points. Giddey was plenty productive in his own right by posting his third double-double in his last four appearances and his 10th of the 2025-26 campaign. Expect the Bulls to continue to lean heavily on the likes of Giddey and Buzelis until the club shakes off some back injury luck.

Daniels accumulated 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Mavericks.

Daniels scored in double digits for the fifth straight game, adding double-digit assists for just the seventh time this season. Despite some ups and downs, Daniels has put together another strong fantasy season, posting career-high numbers in both rebounds and assists. With averages of 11.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals, he continues to be a player who typically provides value across multiple categories.

Christie ended Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks with six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.

Christie shot the ball poorly yet again, having now failed to hit the 40 percent mark in four of his past five games. For a player whose fantasy value is built around the ability to score the basketball, his recent numbers have been less than ideal. During that five-game span, he has averaged 7.4 points and 1.8 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top-300 players in standard formats.
