Mamukelashvili notched two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to San Antonio.

Mamukelashvili scored no more than eight points for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing to serve as the third-string center. While his recent production has been far from ideal, managers may want to hit pause before cutting bait. Collin Murray-Boyles was forced from Wednesday's game due to an ongoing thumb issue, which could result in Mamukelashvili getting a bump, at least in the short term.

Harper accumulated 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Raptors.

Harper scored in double digits for the sixth time in his past seven games, continuing to push his case for more playing time. While there is certainly a case to be made for Harper playing a more significant role, at this point it appears he is more of a schedule play than a must-roster player.

Johnson notched two points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Raptors.

Johnson was limited to just 14 minutes, at one point having to leave the game due to a shoulder injury. After a productive start to the season, Johnson has seen his numbers fall in recent times, averaging just 12.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 12 appearances over the past month. During that span, he has barely been a top 250 player in standard leagues.

Barnes produced eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Raptors.

Barnes continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having now scored single-digit points in 10 of his past 15 games. After starting for much of the season, Barnes was relegated to the bench earlier in the month. In 12 games over the past month, he has averaged 9.8 points and 2.1 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per contest. Outside of streaming, Barnes has minimal fantasy value.

Robinson chipped in 16 points (4-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Thunder.

This was Robinson's fourth straight game with at least three triples, and his third consecutive double-digit scoring performance. He doesn't usually do much outside of points and triples, but Robinson is proficient enough in those two categories to warrant a roster spot in deep fantasy leagues.

Duren registered 29 points (12-17 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 victory over the Thunder.

Duren dominated the paint with the Thunder resting their starting frontcourt, and he finished with a plus-12 differential in the eight-point win. Duren has been a top-40 stud this season with averages of 18.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Cunningham ended Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Thunder with 29 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists, three blocks and three steals in 38 minutes.

This was a nice bounce-back performance for Cunningham, who was held to just 16 points on 5-for-26 shooting in Monday's loss to the Spurs. He was dialed in from the jump, missing only one shot through the first half of action, and Cunningham notched his 31st double-double of the season in the win.

McCain finished with 20 points (6-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Pistons.

McCain got off to a slow start Wednesday, going scoreless through the first half of action while missing all four of his shot attempts. However, he completely flipped the script after halftime and finished with a decent stat line. If Isaiah Joe (glute) needs to miss Friday's game against the Nuggets, McCain could see an uptick in minutes and an expanded role on offense.

Murray (illness) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Celtics. He finished with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist in eight minutes.

Murray exited Wednesday's contest during the first quarter, and after receiving treatment, he's since been shut down for the rest of the night. Bruce Brown and KJ Simpson could see more time on the court as Denver's primary facilitators while Murray sit out. The Nuggets will hope that Murray can shake off the illness in time to play in Friday's game in Oklahoma City.

Williams closed with 30 points (9-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to Detroit.

This was Williams' third double-double of the season and the seventh of his career, and he did a nice job asserting himself in the post. Williams finished with a career high in points, but he'll likely return to a reserve role Friday against the Nuggets with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Chet Holmgren (back) expected back from their rest days.
