Bamba became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Jazz expired.

After signing his 10-day deal Feb. 26, Bamba appeared in two of the Jazz's ensuing six contests, averaging 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes per game. Utah will have the ability to bring Bamba back on another 10-day pact or rest-of-season deal, though the Jazz could be content to proceed with Kyle Filipowski, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love as their options at center and instead reserve the open roster spot for a player at a different position.

Wallace ended Saturday's 104-97 win over Golden State with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and four steals across 31 minutes.

Wallace racked up four steals for the second straight game, although he struggled to have an impact on the offensive end once again. Despite playing a consistent 30-minute role, Wallace has offered upside in only one category, that being steals. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 12.6 points, 5.0 assists and 2.1 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest.

Williams closed Saturday's 104-97 victory over Golden State with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

Williams logged a handful of extra minutes, scoring in double figures for just the second time in his past nine games. As Oklahoma City continues to manipulate its rotation, Williams should be able to maintain a backend role. With that said, fantasy managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming option.

Williams chipped in nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 14 rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 win over the Warriors.

Williams moved back into the starting lineup due to Chet Holmgren (illness) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) being sidelined. Although his role continues to chop and change, Williams has been serviceable over the past two weeks, putting up top-100 value during that time. In his last eight appearances, he has averaged 11.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes per game.

Santos finished with 22 points (8-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.

Santos continues to deliver intriguing numbers, proving to be one of the more unexpected fantasy gems over the past month. In 12 appearances during that time, he has been a top-75 asset in standard leagues while averaging 14.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per contest.

Leons supplied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in six minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.

Leons remained in the rotation, suiting up for the fifth straight game. Multiple injuries to key personnel have forced Golden State to go deep into its rotation, with Leons being one of the main beneficiaries. Although he has been active, the two-way player has averaged just 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game during this recent five-game stretch.

Jenkins had 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.

Jenkins moved into the starting lineup, filling in for Cade Cunningham, who was ruled out with a quad issue. Outside of a brief run earlier in the season, Jenkins has been mostly a non-factor thus far. However, even if Cunningham returns for Sunday's game against the Heat, Jenkins might be worth holding, given Ausar Thompson (ankle) could be sidelined for multiple games.

Robinson supplied 15 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and four assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.

Robinson connected on at least three triples for the first time in his past five games, although he added very little else. Despite playing a key role for the Pistons, Robinson has been little more than a possible three-point streaming option for those in standard fantasy formats. Through 60 regular-season games, he has averaged 12.0 points and 2.9 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 150.

Stewart chipped in 10 points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.

Stewart struggled to find any rhythm, failing to take advantage of what could have been a favorable situation. With Ausar Thompson (ankle) set to miss at least a handful of games, Stewart could find himself moving up in the rotation. While he didn't start Saturday, he could certainly be called upon to move into the opening five should the matchup call for some additional size. Despite this performance, he should at least be on the radar as a short-term addition.

Traore contributed two points (1-5 FG), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 victory over the Pistons.

Traore picked up four early fouls, limiting him to just 15 minutes, all of which came in the first three quarters. Despite having seemingly locked down a starting position, Traore has been far from a must-roster player. In his past 14 games, he has barely put up top-300 numbers, averaging 12.6 points, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.9 minutes per game over that stretch.
