  • Nets' Ziaire Williams: Scores 16 despite shooting woes

    Williams recorded 16 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 loss to the Heat.

    The fact that Williams went 8-for-9 from the charity stripe salvaged his fantasy performance in a game where he went 3-for-10 from the floor, including 1-for-5 in two-pointers. This was the first time Williams scored in double digits since the end of the All-Star break, and his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis, both in terms of his role and production, limits his fantasy upside considerably. If he continues to come off the bench, he's not a player worth targeting even as a streaming alternative.

  • Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Season-high five points

    Biyombo contributed five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 victory over the 76ers.

    Biyombo played the entire fourth quarter, as the Spurs destroyed the undermanned 76ers. San Antonio was able to roll with its bench down the stretch, providing the starters with some much-needed rest. Of course, there is no reason to consider Biyombo a viable fantasy asset, even in the deepest of leagues.

  • Noah Clowney PF | BKN

    Nets' Noah Clowney: Production uptick continues

    Clowney had 17 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 loss to the Heat.

    Clowney was efficient from the floor and has now scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances, averaging 12.8 points and 3.7 boards per game over that stretch. One aspect that can't go overlooked is how comfortable Clowney has looked shooting the three of late. Not only is he shooting 48.1 percent from deep over that six-game span, but he's also drained at least one three-pointer in 10 straight games. He's attempting a career-best 6.3 three-point attempts per game this season.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Elite production continues

    Vassell notched 22 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 win over the 76ers.

    Vassell continues to play well on the offensive end of the floor, scoring at least 18 points for the fourth time in the past five games, while also managing to shoot at least 50 percent from the field in all five appearances. While this production could disappear at any point, Vassell is worth rostering for the moment, at least until his shooting cools off.

  • Nolan Traore PG | BKN

    Nets' Nolan Traore: Scores 14 points in blowout loss

    Traore chipped in 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 loss to Miami.

    Traore seems to have settled into a starting role and is putting up excellent numbers of late when compared to the numbers he was delivering in the early stages of the season. Traore, who was the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has scored in double digits in nine of his last 12 starts, averaging 13.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game over that stretch.

  • Gradey Dick SG | TOR

    Raptors' Gradey Dick: Back in rotation, barely

    Dick finished with zero points (0-1 FG) in one minute during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to the Knicks.

    Dick moved back into the rotation after sitting out the previous two games, albeit for one minute during garbage time. Outside of a handful of encouraging performances, Dick has been a letdown this season, averaging just 6.2 points in 15.5 minutes per contest.

  • RJ Barrett SG | TOR

    Raptors' RJ Barrett: Drops 20 points in loss

    Barrett provided 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to the Knicks.

    Barrett scored at least 20 points for the third time in the past four games, although his peripheral numbers were once again underwhelming. While his scoring has been adequate this season, Barrett's lack of production across the board continues to drag down his overall fantasy appeal. Despite averaging 18.1 points per game, he has barely been a top-200 player through 37 appearances.

  • Jevon Carter PG | ORL

    Magic's Jevon Carter: Hands out six dimes off bench

    Carter racked up 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 win over Washington.

    The six assists were a season-high output for Carter, but overall, it's very hard to trust him as a bench option on a game-to-game basis. He has scored in double digits in two of his last five outings, but in the other three, he's scored a combined two points. The inconsistencies in production and playing time limit his upside considerably across all formats, making him valuable only as a streaming option in deeper leagues.

  • Jalen Suggs SG | ORL

    Magic's Jalen Suggs: Comes close to double-double

    Suggs had 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 win over the Wizards.

    Suggs finished just one assist away from a double-double, but there are some encouraging signs with the veteran floor general, even if he's not putting up the kind of scoring numbers he's used to. He has recorded 25-plus minutes in back-to-back starts, and that's huge since he hadn't done that since early February. Once Suggs shakes off the rust from his shot, he should see an uptick in his scoring numbers as well. Since returning to the hardwood three games ago, Suggs has made just four of his 16 three-pointers while shooting 31.3 percent from the floor.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Grabs 10 boards in win

    Robinson notched two points (1-1 FG), 10 rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 win over the Raptors.

    Robinson grabbed double-digit boards for just the second time in his past 12 appearances, continuing to play as the backup center behind Karl-Anthony Towns. While he does provide New York with a solid option off the bench, his role is too muted to warrant any real fantasy attention, outside of streaming situations. Robinson is also unlikely to play both halves of back-to-back sets, so look for him to rest Wednesday against Oklahoma City.
