Walter accumulated 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 win over the Mavericks.

Walter was a spark off the bench along with Sandro Mamukelashvili. Walter hasn't been reliable lately, shooting 38.2 percent from the field over his last six games while averaging 6.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Clifford finished Sunday's 126-110 victory over the Bulls with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes.

The rookie first-rounder is benefiting from Sacramento's youth movement, starting five consecutive games and playing significant minutes. Clifford has averaged 12.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.4 minutes per game during this span, so he's showing some promise on both ends of the court.

Okoro accumulated nine points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist over 24 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 126-110 loss to the Kings.

Okoro remains a low-end option for fantasy purposes in most formats. He's scored in single digits in four consecutive games and five of his last six contests, with Okoro averaging 7.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 31.2 minutes per game while shooting just 32.5 percent from the floor during that latter period.

Poeltl finished with 16 points (8-9 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 win over the Mavericks.

Poeltl is seemingly turning a corner with his back issue and is trending up in fantasy hoops. Over his last five games, he's been a second-round value in nine-category leagues with averages of 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Bridges posted zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 110-97 loss to the Lakers.

This was a major dud for Bridges, as he missed all six of his shots from the field. Despite this misstep, Bridges remains on track to return third-round value in nine-category fantasy leagues with averages of 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Collier (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Collier was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. Meanwhile, Keyonte George (illness) remains questionable. With this news, Elijah Harkless, Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk could step into larger roles.

Merrill amassed five points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Celtics.

Merrill saw a healthy workload Sunday but could not make the most of his minutes with Jarrett Allen (knee) sidelined. Merrill remains a low-end fantasy asset with season averages of 12.9 points, 3.3 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.9 minutes per contest.

Suggs posted 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 victory over the Bucks.

Sunday marked Suggs' ninth game of the season with at least 20 points. The point guard's workload is stabilizing following a recent three-game absence with a back issue. Suggs has averaged 15.0 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 27.5 minutes per game across his last five outings.

Hauser provided 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and four rebounds over 24 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 win over the Cavaliers.

Hauser caught fire from beyond the arc and appears to be a good fit alongside Jayson Tatum due to his floor spacing. Hauser won't have a big usage rate, but he will remain a solid three-point specialist in category formats.

Murray (illness) registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and four rebounds over 16 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 victory over Indiana.

Murray returned from a two-game absence Sunday after battling an illness. With Deni Avdija (back) also returning to action in the 20-point win, the Trail Blazers are now close to full health at forward and on the wing. Murray is unlikely to see his playing time pick up dramatically moving forward, making it difficult to depend on him for fantasy purposes.
