George provided 36 points (14-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.

George enjoyed his 12th game of the year with at least 30 points Monday. The star guard's workload increased in his second contest back from an ankle sprain, which is an encouraging sign. Over his last 10 appearances, George has averaged 24.7 points, 4.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.4 minutes per game.

Turner ended with five points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.

Turner had one of his worst games of the season and has now posted back-to-back duds. Overall, Turner has struggled, shooting 44.2 percent from the field with averages of 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Williams contributed three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.

Despite starting, Williams ended up playing the fewest minutes of any active player for the Jazz on Monday. The second-year forward remains difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes per tilt across his last six games.

Porter closed Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 31 minutes.

Porter, who has been carrying the Bucks in recent weeks, took a backseat Monday with Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the mix. Porter has previously been able to coexist next to Antetokounmpo just fine, so fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier.

Niederhauser finished with 11 points (3-6 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 21 minutes during Monday's 114-101 victory over the Warriors.

The rookie first-rounder matched a season high in swats Monday. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) out of the picture, Niederhauser is starting to push for a larger role behind Brook Lopez at center. Niederhauser has averaged 8.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 20.7 minutes per game over his last four contests.

Hauser ended Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.

Hauser continues to be a steady source of three-pointers in fantasy formats, but his upside is limited elsewhere. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 11.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.7 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Melton racked up seven points (3-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Melton continues to work his way back from last year's ACL surgery, and he remains a strong source of triples and swipes despite Monday's dud. The veteran guard has averaged 16.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes per game over his last six contests.

Cooper ended Monday's 123-118 loss to Houston with 21 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes.

Cooper erupted for a season-high 21 points in the loss, giving the coaching staff something to think about. The Wizards will be shorthanded Tuesday against Orlando, which could give Cooper another extended look, but it's worth mentioning that Trae Young (knee) is targeting a return Thursday against Utah.

Champagnie finished Monday's 123-118 loss to the Rockets with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes.

This was a solid showing for Champagnie, and it keeps him on the streaming radar in fantasy formats. The Wizards will be missing a number of players for Tuesday's game against Orlando, so Champagnie could see more usage and minutes.

Spencer posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Spencer should be able to hang onto a meaningful role until the Warriors finally clear Stephen Curry (knee) to return. Over his past five appearances, Spencer has still averaged just 6.4 points, 5.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game.
