Collin Gillespie SG | PHO
Suns' Collin Gillespie: Stays hot in victory
Gillespie supplied 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.
Gillespie's breakout campaign continues, and there's no reason to believe he'll be unseated from the first unit anytime soon. Grayson Allen was moved to the bench, with Gillespie starting alongside Devin Booker and Jalen Green on Tuesday. Gillespie has scored at least 15 points in five consecutive games, averaging 18.0 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 4.2 three-pointers in 33.6 minutes per tilt while shooting 48.8 percent from downtown.

Spencer recorded 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Ayton's recent struggles have become well-documented, but he put together a solid stat line Tuesday. The veteran big man has averaged 7.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 21.3 minutes per game over his past four outings, though he remains locked into a starting role at center for the Lakers.

Dosunmu amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 victory over Memphis.
Dosunmu continues to see healthy workloads for the second unit in Minnesota. In nine total appearances for his new team, the guard holds averages of 11.4 points, 2.9 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Hart continues to contribute across the board for fantasy managers. Overall this season, he's on pace to return eighth-round per-game value in nine-category formats with 11.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 three-pointers.

Patrick Baldwin Jr. SF | SAC
Kings' Patrick Baldwin: Inactive for Tuesday's loss
Baldwin (two-way) was a heathy inactive for Tuesday's 114-103 loss to the Suns.
Baldwin had averaged 3.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game while suiting up in each of the Kings' previous three contests, but Sacramento opted to hold out the two-way forward Tuesday in order to manage his availability for the rest of the campaign. The 23-year-old is eligible to play in 11 of the Kings' remaining 19 contests, so he'll be inactive on a few more occasions as the season winds down.

Anthony Black PG | ORL
Magic's Anthony Black: Questionable for Thursday
Black (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Black remains day-to-day after missing the past two games. He was originally slated to play Tuesday, only for the Magic to change their tune before tipoff. Jevon Carter and Tristan da Silva are likely to see more minutes if Black is unable to give it a go.

Wendell Carter Jr. C | ORL
Magic's Wendell Carter: Iffy for Thursday
Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas with a sore left ankle.
Carter is in danger of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Goga Bitadze would likely start at center if Carter is out again, with Moritz Wagner filling out the backup minutes in this case.

Jalen Brunson PG | NY
Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Strong line in win
Brunson recorded 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 win over Toronto.
