Jerome finished Monday's 146-107 loss to the Hawks with 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals over 24 minutes.

Jerome was one of the few standout players for the Grizzlies in this 39-point loss, chipping in with at least one tally in each of the five major categories and posting another impressive scoring performance. This was his sixth consecutive outing with at least 16 points, and while his availability has been inconsistent in recent weeks, he's a player to target across all formats every time he's cleared to play. Jerome is averaging 20.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game over that six-game stretch.

Miller registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over the Rockets.

Miller continues to turn heads, despite the fact that his playing time has subsided in recent games. He has now scored in double digits in seven straight games, putting up top-100 value during that time. With averages of 13.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers, he should at least be on the radar in standard leagues, although his overall upside is somewhat limited.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said that George won't require a ramp-up period and will be ready to play Wednesday against the Bulls after completing his 25-game suspension, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

George served the final game of his suspension in Monday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder and is now eligible to return to the court Wednesday for his first appearance since Jan. 29. Nurse appeared confident that George will hit the ground running, as he noted Monday that the star forward will essentially be a full go in his first game back. The Fresno State product was averaging 16.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 27 games before being slapped with a 25-game ban for violating the league's anti-drug program.

Sexton closed with 25 points (6-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 132-124 victory over Houston.

Sexton has now scored at least 20 points in five of his past seven appearances. Despite coming off the bench, he has been able to provide the Bulls with an offensive boost, while also managing to flirt with top-100 value in standard nine-category leagues. For those needing points and threes, he is worth considering as a potential stream option when the schedule lays out nicely.

Isaac (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Isaac will remain sidelined with a left knee sprain. Orlando has yet to provide an update on his availability moving forward, so he can be considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup with the Kings until more information surfaces.

Williams finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 19 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over Houston.

Williams continues to do very little with his time on the floor, sitting well outside the top 300 in five games over the past two weeks, despite averaging 21.5 minutes per contest. As has been the story for much of his career, Williams can't seem to find any sort of rhythm on either end of the court. For fantasy purposes, he holds little to no value, no matter the format.

Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Wagner is in line for another absence while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain. The Magic haven't provided any indications that his return is imminent, so fantasy managers who have been holding him amid his extended absence shouldn't count on him being available for any of the team's remaining two games this week.

Okogie racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in two minutes during Monday's 132-124 loss to Chicago.

Okogie has been mostly a non-factor this season, despite the fact that, for a period of time, he was inserted into the starting lineup. He has now appeared in 16 straight games, averaging 3.3 points and 0.8 three-pointers in 12.6 minutes per contest. While the Rockets seem destined to make the playoffs, depth could certainly be an issue when it matters most.

Black (abdomen) is out for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Black will miss yet another matchup while tending to an abdominal strain. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday against the Kings, though he doesn't appear to be all that close to a return.

Finney-Smith recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across eight minutes during Monday's 132-124 loss to Chicago.

Finney-Smith continues to offer very little in terms of tangible production, having scored no more than five points in 11 of his past 13 appearances. While he does provide Houston with a solid veteran presence, his ability to have an impact on the court is not what it once was. In 34 games this season, he has averaged just 3.1 points in 17.2 minutes.
