Capela posted three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four blocks across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers.

Capela salvaged another poor performance by matching his season-high with four blocks. Despite assuming the primary backup role behind Alperen Sengun, Capela's time as a fantasy-relevant player has certainly come and gone. At best, managers can utilize him for streaming purposes, if and when blocks are at the top of the priority list.

Miller recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 victory over Houston.

Miller came up short yet again, scoring single digits for the fifth straight contest. Despite the removal of James Harden, Miller has seen his role regress in recent times, playing fewer than 20 minutes in his past two games. Given his recent lack of production, managers are fine to move on from him in standard leagues. However, he is certainly worth monitoring, should Los Angeles pivot at any point down the stretch.

Jones finished Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Rockets with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.

Jones continues to play a significant role for the Clippers, having now logged at least 27 minutes in four straight games. While he is typically what some might consider a low-volume player, Jones has been able to extract an awful amount from his limited fantasy game. In his four appearances over the past week, he has averaged 9.0 points, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.8 combined steals and blocks. Even those in standard leagues could consider him for defensive streaming purposes.

Ellis chipped in six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 win over Washington.

Ellis logged 27 minutes Wednesday, the most he has played since joining the Cavaliers. While he has provided the team with consistent defensive contributions off the bench, his playing time has been largely underwhelming. With that said, he is worth keeping an eye on, particularly if he can carve out a regular 25-minute role for himself, given his defensive upside.

Schroder produced seven points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 victory over the Wizards.

Schroder continues to serve as a backup option, playing fewer than 20 minutes for the third time in the past four games since arriving in Cleveland. Even in starter-level minutes, Schroder has never really been a consistent fantasy asset. Given his current role, he is far from a must-roster player, outside of deeper formats.

Nance closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over five minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 victory over the Wizards.

Nance moved back into the rotation, suiting up for the first time in the past three games. Nance has been a non-factor this season, averaging just 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game in 25 appearances. Given that he is not an every-night part of the rotation, managers need not consider him a viable fantasy asset.

Richmond racked up five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across six minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to Cleveland.

Fresh off signing a 10-day contract with the Wizards, Richmond made his debut, scoring five points off the bench. Washington is clearly going to prioritize youth over winning, so we could see several players coming in and out of the rotation over the next couple of months. At this stage, there is no reason to be adding Richmond, even in deeper formats.

George registered 17 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

George tallied double digits for the second straight game, although his playing time remains underwhelming. With Washington clearly shifting into tank mode, it appears as though George is not only going to miss games moving forward, but his playing time could be limited on most nights. While he does remain a must-roster player, managers are going to have to be prepared for some uncertainty.

Riley posted four points (1-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Riley scored in single digits for the second straight game, seemingly having lost his shooting touch. Despite the poor production, it does appear as though he could be locked into a relatively consistent role moving forward, something that certainly can't be said for a number of his teammates. Assuming you can deal with some inefficient shooting, Riley remains someone worth rostering given the fact that he should see close to 30 minutes per game.

Williams notched six points (3-4 FG) and one rebound across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder.

Although Williams is heading into the All-Star break on a low note, fantasy managers have to be pleased with his results as a whole over the first part of the season. The fourth-year big man has played a career-high 50 games during his first year in Phoenix, cementing himself as the Suns' top center. Williams is averaging 12.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, shooting a robust 71.3 percent from the floor.
