Jamal Shead PG | TOR
Raptors' Jamal Shead: Effective as backup point guard
Shead logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 win over the Bucks.
Despite being stuck in a reserve role, Shead has dished out at least four dimes in seven of his last eight games. The second-year guard's upside remains capped by a healthy Immanuel Quickley, with Shead averaging 5.1 points, 4.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.4 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

Luke Kennard SG | LAL
Lakers' Luke Kennard: Extends three-point streak
Kennard chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 111-89 loss to Boston.
Kennard's role hasn't taken a dramatic shift since he joined the Lakers, and he remains a deep-league fantasy streamer for triples. The veteran sharpshooter has knocked down at least one trey in eight straight games, during which Kennard has averaged 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.1 minutes per contest while shooting 50.0 percent from downtown.

Jaden McDaniels SF | MIN
Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Having best year as a scorer
McDaniels logged 19 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 loss to the 76ers.
McDaniels is known for his defense, but his offensive game is also growing. The sixth-year man is averaging the most points per game of his career so far (14.9). He failed to connect from three against Philadelphia but is still shooting 44.0 percent from deep this year.

Jamaree Bouyea PG | PHO
Suns' Jamaree Bouyea: Opportunity for larger role
Bouyea amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Just about every member of the Suns' backcourt besides Collin Gillespie is either out with an injury or working their way back from one, leaving the door open for Bouyea to stay more involved. Bouyea has logged at least 20 minutes in just half of his last six appearances, but his playing time looks like it's about to pick up, particularly with Devin Booker (hip) and Jordan Goodwin (calf) out until March.

Anthony Edwards SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Gets numbers despite loss
Edwards contributed 28 points (11-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 loss to the 76ers.
Despite the lopsided final score, Edwards was prolific as usual against the 76ers. Edwards' consistency is really showing, as the All-Star Game MVP has only one game below 20 points since mid-December.

Toumani Camara SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Records third double-double
Camara ended with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 victory over Phoenix.
While Camara's numbers don't necessarily jump off the page, he hasn't missed a single game yet this year and remains a reliable contributor for fantasy managers. The double-double was his third in 2025-26, and Camara has averaged 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 31.2 minutes per contest in his last nine games.

Quentin Grimes SG | PHI
76ers' Quentin Grimes: Big offensive night
Grimes produced 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 win over Minnesota.
Grimes reached the 19-point mark Sunday for the first time since New Year's Day. He sank five threes against Minnesota, tying his best performance from downtown this year. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, Philadelphia may need to depend on Grimes having more games like this going forward.

Mikal Bridges SG | NY
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Full stat line in win
Bridges amassed 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-99 win over the Bulls.
Bridges remains one of the most dependable assets for fantasy managers, as he continues to stay on pace with playing all 82 games in his fifth consecutive year. The swingman has averaged 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per contest in his last seven games, shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Trey Murphy III SF | NO
Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Sits out practice
Murphy (shoulder) did not practice Monday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Murphy has missed the past two games for New Orleans, but coach James Borrego said the hope remains that this won't be a lengthy absence. As for Tuesday's game against Golden State, Murphy's status is likely to be questionable at best.

Kelly Oubre Jr. SF | PHI
76ers' Kelly Oubre: Excels on both ends
Oubre provided 18 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 victory over the Timberwolves.
Oubre played the three-and-D role effectively against the Timberwolves, sinking three triples while racking up four steals. The 11-year veteran is shooting 36.5 percent from three so far this season, which would go down as the best mark of his career.
