Clippers' Derrick Jones: Quiet in blowout win
Jones ended with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-94 victory over Toronto.
Despite his stable starting role, Jones doesn't tend to see enough usage to offer much fantasy appeal outside of deep settings. The forward has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.7 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 46.2 percent from the floor.

Killian Hayes PG | SAC
Kings' Killian Hayes: Upgraded to available
Hayes (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.
After missing Tuesday's loss in Charlotte, Hayes is ready to return from left toe inflammation Thursday. His return likely means fewer minutes for Devin Carter at point guard. Hayes has averaged 7.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 21.7 minutes per game over his last seven contests.

Precious Achiuwa PF | SAC
Kings' Precious Achiuwa: Good to go Thursday
Achiuwa (back) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Achiuwa is all set to return from a one-game absence, and fantasy managers will want to pencil him into lineups. Over his last five games, he's averaging 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 32.4 minutes per contest.

Javonte Green SG | DET
Pistons' Javonte Green: Likely to play Thursday
Green (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
The veteran guard is likely to be available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last six contests, Green has averaged 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.5 minutes per game but could see an uptick in playing time if Tobias Harris (hip) sits out Thursday.
