Kispert supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Mavericks.

Kispert scored just two points, failing to reach double digits for the ninth time in the past 11 games. While he does provide the Hawks with another floor-spacing option, Kispert offers very little upside across the board. In 25 appearances since joining Atlanta, he has averaged just 10.0 points and 1.6 three-pointers, barely putting up top-300 value.

Giddey accumulated 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and 17 assists in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime victory over the Warriors.

Giddey played a big role in Chicago's comeback win, though it was Matas Buzelis who captured the spotlight by pouring in 41 points. Giddey was plenty productive in his own right by posting his third double-double in his last four appearances and his 10th of the 2025-26 campaign. Expect the Bulls to continue to lean heavily on the likes of Giddey and Buzelis until the club shakes off some back injury luck.

Daniels accumulated 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Mavericks.

Daniels scored in double digits for the fifth straight game, adding double-digit assists for just the seventh time this season. Despite some ups and downs, Daniels has put together another strong fantasy season, posting career-high numbers in both rebounds and assists. With averages of 11.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals, he continues to be a player who typically provides value across multiple categories.

Christie ended Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks with six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.

Christie shot the ball poorly yet again, having now failed to hit the 40 percent mark in four of his past five games. For a player whose fantasy value is built around the ability to score the basketball, his recent numbers have been less than ideal. During that five-game span, he has averaged 7.4 points and 1.8 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top-300 players in standard formats.

Buzelis finished with 41 points (16-28 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 45 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime win over Golden State.

Buzelis delivered a career-high 41 points with the help of a strong showing from the field. However, the 2024 first-round pick's contributions didn't stop in the scoring column, as he accounted for two of Chicago's six steals on the night and swatted away a pair of shots to total five blocks over his last two appearances. Buzelis has been handed more opportunities lately due to a slew of key injuries to the rotation, and he's responded by averaging 24.0 points over his last six outings.

Nembhard amassed three assists in nine minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

Nembhard continues to play limited minutes off the bench, resulting in muted production. Despite being converted to a full-time contract, Nembhard has struggled to carve out a meaningful spot in the rotation. In six games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 4.3 points and 3.0 assists in 13.0 minutes per contest.

Washington registered seven points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 loss to Atlanta.

Washington struggled for the third straight game, continuing what has been a poor month. In 10 appearances during that time, Washington has barely been a top-200 player, averaging 13.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes per contest. For those in the fantasy playoffs, it's time to make some tough decisions, one of which might be to part ways with Washington.

Carter produced 24 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the Pacers.

After playing no minutes in the first half, Carter looked like he would be left out of head coach Doug Christie's rotation for the night, but an opportunity opened up after fellow guard Malik Monk injured his ankle in the second quarter and was unable to return. Carter proceeded to catch fire upon checking into the game with just over four minutes left in the third quarter. He ended up setting a new career-high mark in scoring, dropping 22 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter. Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento pointed out that Carter appeared to be walking with a limp after the victory, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on his status leading up to the second half a back-to-back Wednesday against Charlotte. With Monk in jeopardy of missing that contest, Carter could take on a more pronounced role if available Wednesday.

Dieng contributed 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Suns.

Dieng made the most of his limited opportunities on the offensive end and bounced back from a sluggish two-point showing Sunday against Orlando. He also recorded his second double-double of the season by securing double-digit boards. Dieng should continue to see opportunities with the first unit as long as he keeps up this recent stretch of solid play.

Turner accumulated 22 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Suns.

Turner added 15 of his 22 points from beyond the arc and combined with teammate Kyle Kuzma to drill 11 total threes. Turner had been riding a five-game skid in which he'd failed to score in double figures heading into Tuesday's clash, so this strong all-around showing is a clear step in the right direction for the 29-year-old.
