Carter posted two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to Indiana.

Carter was elevated into the starting lineup after Jalen Suggs was ruled out due to an illness. Having scored in double digits in four straight games coming into Monday, the hope was that Carter would make for an interesting stream option. However, those who took a chance on him were met with nothing but disappointment, as Carter recorded arguably his worst performance since joining the Magic. At this point, he should only be on the radar for streaming purposes, if and when the schedule works in his favor.

Howard chipped in 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to the Pacers.

Howard scored in double digits for just the fifth time in his past 15 games, continuing what has been another disappointing season. To this point in his career, Howard has been unable to carve out a consistent role, instead often seeing the court only when those around him are injured.

Da Silva contributed 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to the Pacers.

After a number of underwhelming performances, da Silva managed to get things back on track, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in his past six appearances. Although he continues to start, da Silva has struggled to put up consistent numbers, ranking outside the top 110 over the past week. In four games during that time, he has averaged 12.5 points, 0.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers, making him nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

Huff logged seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 128-126 victory over the Magic.

Huff played at least 25 minutes for the first time in his past eight games, although his production certainly tells a different story. While he has been a good source of blocks thus far this season, his recent numbers have left a lot to be desired. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 1.1 blocks per game, adding 9.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers.

Potter ended Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic with six points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes.

Potter scored in single digits for the fifth straight game, during which time he has failed to play more than 20 minutes in any one contest. He remains a name to watch should Indiana opt to shut anyone starters down for the season. However, as of right now, Potter holds very little value, outside of deeper formats.

Watford contributed 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder.

Watford scored in double figures off the bench, though a lack of production for the 76ers other than that of VJ Edgecombe resulted in a lopsided defeat. Over Watford's past six games, all of which have come in a reserve role, the LSU product has reached the 10-point mark in four contests. The three-point shot remains absent from his game, as Watford entered Monday shooting 21.3 percent from beyond the arc and hasn't converted a triple since Feb. 3.

Nembhard contributed 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and 14 assists across 35 minutes during Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.

Nembhard recorded his 11th double-double of the season, including a game-high 14 assists, helping the Pacers to an unlikely victory. Although his frequent absences continue to be a source of frustration for managers, Nembhard's production has been more than adequate. In four appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 17.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in just 27.9 minutes per game.

Williams posted 18 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.

Williams was active from deep, knocking down a team-high five triples in a blowout victory. The Arkansas product has now made five-plus threes in four contests this season, with three of those performances coming over his past 12 games. Williams isn't relied on as a major offensive contributor for the Thunder, but he's proven capable of providing a spark off the bench and logging quality minutes when called upon.

Hartenstein accumulated 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.

Hartenstein was efficient and effective, recording a double-double with five assists in a blowout victory. The big man is now up to 11 double-doubles in 40 appearances this season, his second-highest single-season mark behind last year's 28. Not heavily relied on as a scorer in the Thunder offense, Monday marked Hartenstein's first double-digit scoring effort since Feb. 24.

Holmgren chipped in 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five blocks and four assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.

Holmgren fell one rebound shy of a double-double in a strong performance that also featured five blocks. The Gonzaga product, who entered Monday averaging 1.9 blocks per game, has now recorded five-plus blocks in four contests this season, with his most recent occurrence prior to Monday having been on Dec. 31. The 23-year-old will look to maintain a high level of play and stay healthy through the remainder of the regular season as the Thunder prepare to defend their title and pursue back-to-back championships.
