Thomas chipped in two points (0-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.

After a few encouraging performances following his move to Milwaukee, it appears as though Thomas has reverted back to his old ways. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.3 points in 17.7 minutes, leaving him outside the top 300 in standard leagues. At this point, there is no reason to be rostering Thomas, outside of deeper formats.

Rollins racked up five points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.

Rollins moved back to the bench, with head coach Doc Rivers making another baffling rotation change. Despite Rollins being one of this season's breakout players, Rivers seems intent on bringing him off the bench whenever possible. While this is certainly not a positive for Rollins' fantasy value, managers should hold off before making any decisions regarding his viability. History tells us that Rollins could very well prove Rivers wrong, once again.

Antetokounmpo (calf) totaled 19 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to Boston.

Making his return following a five-plus-week absence due to a right calf strain, Antetokounmpo hit the ground running, recording a double-double despite not playing the entire second half of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's return wasn't enough to keep the team competitive with the Celtics, who cruised to an easy win despite being without Jaylen Brown (illness), Neemias Queta (rest) and Jayson Tatum (Achilles). Antetokounmpo could have his minutes monitored for at least a few more games, but fantasy managers who held off activating him Monday shouldn't have any qualms about doing so moving forward.

Garza racked up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Monday's 108-81 win over the Bucks.

Garza saw meaningful minutes, with Neemias Queta given the night off for rest purposes. Although Garza had been trending up prior to the trade deadline, the acquisition of Nikola Vucevic put an end to any fantasy upside he might have had. For now, he should be looked at as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

Shulga contributed no counting stats across two minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee.

Shulga appeared for just the second time this season, both of which have come during garbage time. The 57th pick in the 2025 draft is buried on the depth chart in Boston, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Gonzalez provided 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over the Bucks.

Gonzalez came out of nowhere, recording his second double-double of the season, in what was easily the best performance of his young career. With Jaylen Brown (illness) taking the night off, Gonzalez moved into the starting lineup for just the third time all year. While this was certainly a strong effort, there is no need to overreact, given that he had scored more than five points only twice in his previous 13 games.

Carrington contributed 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 123-118 loss to Houston.

Carrington was able to chip in on both ends of the court, albeit on low volume. Although he has been largely healthy of late, Carrington has been far from a must-roster fantasy asset. In 13 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 9.0 points, 4.4 assists and 1.5 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 300 in standard leagues.

Hardy provided 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Monday's 123-118 loss to the Rockets.

Hardy continues to provide the Wizards with an offensive punch off the bench, tallying double digits for the sixth straight appearance. While he has managed to flash some offensive upside, Hardy's peripheral production remains basically non-existent. In his six games as a Wizard, Hardy has recorded a total of 14 rebounds, three assists and three combined steals and blocks.

Reese fouled out of Monday's 123-118 loss to the Rockets after recording two points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes.

Reese was given the starting nod, suiting up for the first time in his career. With both Alex Sarr (hamstring) and Tristan Vukcevic (thigh) sidelined, Washington went deep into its rotation. If both players are to miss additional time, Reese could be worth a look as a short-term defensive streaming option.

Capela finished Monday's 123-118 victory over the Wizards with four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes.

Capela continues to do the bare minimum with his time on the floor, averaging just 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game in seven appearances over the past two weeks. Houston is very thin when it comes to the center spot, as Capela struggling to hold his own, even against the opposition's second unit.
