Spencer finished with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-94 loss to the 76ers.

The Warriors had to dig deep to find more production during the loss, and Spencer came through with one of the team's highest totals. Spencer was a non-factor in his first two seasons with Golden State, but his 2025-26 minute average has jumped to 13.9 minutes per game. The gap left by Jimmy Butler (knee) has aided his bottom line.

Santos provided 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-94 loss to the 76ers.

Santos earned a starting nod due to Stephen Curry (knee) being sidelined, and the former finished the game tied with Pat Spencer for the team's highest scoring total. The first unit was anemic without Curry's involvement, illustrating the Warriors' dependence on the All-Star's production. Santos' fantasy value is limited at present, but he'll jump to the forefront if the Warriors get hit with more injuries.

Drummond finished Tuesday's 113-94 win over Golden State with 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes.

Drummond platooned with Adem Bona due to Joel Embiid (ankle) being sidelined. The duo's numbers were nearly identical, but Drummond finished with more minutes, points and rebounds. He'll continue to serve as a capable streaming option whenever Embiid is out.

Bassey is set to become an unrestricted free agent when his 10-day contract expires Wednesday.

After signing his 10-day pact with the 76ers on Jan. 26, Bassey didn't appear in any of the team's ensuing six games. Philadelphia could still look to re-sign the big man to a second 10-day deal ahead of its next game Thursday against the Lakers, though the 76ers will likely wait and see what the roster looks like following the trade deadline before potentially bringing him back.

Watford finished with 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 113-94 victory over the Warriors.

Paul George's (suspension) extended absence will reveal some new wrinkles in the rotation, and it seems like Watford could make a more significant impact. The fifth-year pro has been hampered by injuries this season, but he appears to be past any limitations. It's too early to give Watford serious fantasy consideration, but his place in the rotation is worth monitoring.

Edgecombe recorded 25 points (11-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 113-94 win over Golden State.

While Tyrese Maxey had trouble finding the bottom of the basket during Tuesday's victory, Edgecombe thrived against the Warriors. It was a nice bounce-back outing for the rookie, who scored only five points during a dreadful shooting performance during Monday's win over the Clippers.

Walker closed Tuesday's 131-122 loss to the Jazz with 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and eight turnovers across 32 minutes.

After coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Houston, Walker drew the start Tuesday due to multiple key contributors being unavailable. The 22-year-old forward struggled mightily from three-point range, though he still tied the team-high mark in points while reaching the 20-point threshold for the fourth time this season, but the eight turnovers accounted for over half of the Pacers' total. Walker has scored in double figures in seven straight games and continues to see meaningful burn, logging at least 18 minutes in 13 consecutive contests.

Jackson had 24 points (9-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists, three steals and one rebound over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 loss to Utah.

With multiple key contributors sidelined in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jackson saw increased burn and torched the nets, albeit in a losing effort. The two-way player tied the team-high mark in points and led Indiana with a season-high three steals. Still, the 27-year-old guard logged just one minute over Indiana's previous five outings, so he isn't expected to see meaningful minutes unless injuries arise in the backcourt.

Jones closed Tuesday's 131-122 loss to the Jazz with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and six rebounds across 36 minutes.

With the Pacers shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jones got the starting nod for the first time in his career and turned in a productive outing. The rookie second-rounder led the Pacers in assists, recording career highs in points, rebounds, assists and minutes played. While the Marquette product isn't guaranteed to see the court when Indiana is near full strength, performances like these bode well for his chances of receiving increased opportunities going forward, especially when key contributors are sidelined.

Bailey logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, three blocks, three steals and one assist in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 victory over the Pacers.

After scoring just four points on 1-for-10 shooting from the field in Sunday's loss to Toronto, Bailey bounced back in a major way. The rookie first-rounder saw increased playing time following Utah's trade for Jaren Jackson earlier in the day, as only seven Jazz players saw the court against Indiana. Bailey finished as Utah's third-leading scorer and has posted at least 19 points in three of his last five appearances. He also stuffed the stat sheet on the defensive end, matching his season highs in blocks and steals. He has recorded multiple steals in three of his last four outings.
