Simone Fontecchio SF | MIA
Heat's Simone Fontecchio: Provides spark off bench
Fontecchio amassed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards.
Fontecchio is carving out a solid role for himself in the Miami rotation recently. The sharpshooter has averaged 9.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per contest in his last seven games, while the Heat have dealt with several absences.

Rudy Gobert C | MIN
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Steady campaign continues
Gobert ended with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.
Gobert continues to go about his business as a reliable source of boards and swats. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran center has averaged 9.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.5 minutes per game.

Jalen Johnson SF | ATL
Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Added to injury report
Johnson is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota with left knee inflammation.
Johnson is a late addition to the injury report, which is generally a bad sign. If the star forward can't play, more playing time would open up for Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher in the Atlanta frontcourt.

Derrick Jones Jr. SF | LAC
Clippers' Derrick Jones: Full stat line Sunday
Jones closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves.
Jones continues to work his way back from an extended absence with a knee injury, chipping in a full stat line. Over his last three appearances, Jones has averaged 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Brandon Ingram SF | TOR
Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Held to 13 points
Ingram supplied 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 122-104 victory over the Pacers.
This was a rare off night for Ingram, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about it. Over his last 14 outings, he's been a third-round value in nine-category formats with 22.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers.

Davion Mitchell PG | MIA
Heat's Davion Mitchell: Poor showing in win
Mitchell ended Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes.
Mitchell drew another start, but he was outproduced by Kasparas Jakucionis -- the rookie had 22 points in 26 minutes off the bench. Mitchell has been trending down for several weeks now, making this a position battle worth monitoring.

Carlton Carrington PG | WAS
Wizards' Bub Carrington: Notches 13 points
Carrington finished with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Heat.
Tre Johnson (ankle) doesn't appear close to returning, and it doesn't sound like D'Angelo Russell has a future with the Wizards. Carrington is seeing 25.2 minutes per contest over his last eight outings, but he's averaging just 11.9 points, 4.1 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers on 40.7 percent shooting from the field in that span.

Jordan Miller SG | LAC
Clippers' Jordan Miller: Continues logging steady minutes
Miller finished Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves with eight points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound and four assists in 23 minutes.
Miller continues to play meaningful minutes for the Clippers, but his playing time could take a hit once Darius Garland (toe) is ready to make his team debut. Over his last five appearances, Miller has averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 25.6 minutes per game while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.

Neemias Queta C | BOS
Celtics' Neemias Queta: Quiet in loss
Queta ended Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Knicks with four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.
Queta saw 23 minutes as the starting center, matching the workload of Nikola Vucevic. This has the look of a timeshare, but it could fluctuate depending on matchups -- Queta is more of a defensive presence while Vucevic is instant offense.

Mikal Bridges SG | NY
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Muted effort in win
Bridges ended Sunday's 111-89 win over the Celtics with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes.
This was a quiet night for Bridges, but he's still churning out mid-round fantasy value on a consistent basis. Over his last eight outings, Bridges has been a sixth-round value in nine-category formats with 16.1 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.6 minutes per contest.
