McConnell ended with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 loss to Philadelphia.

McConnell continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having not played more than 20 minutes since Jan 14. Not only is his playing time down, but his availability has been spotty at best, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration for anyone needing assists and steals.

Brown registered nine points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 loss to Philadelphia.

Brown fell just one point short of a double-double, logging at least 30 minutes for the third time in the past four games. With Indiana seemingly throwing in the towel already, Brown could find himself a regular in the rotation for the remainder of the season. Although his production has been modest at best, he is a name to watch if you are simply looking for quantity over quality.

Williamson recorded 26 points (11-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two steals and one block across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Warriors.

Williamson led the Pelicans to victory, reaching the 20-point threshold for a fourth consecutive contest. He also knocked down his first triple of the season after last attempting one Nov. 29. Although health has been a major concern for the star forward in years past, Williamson hasn't missed a game since Dec. 11. He has been a relatively consistent scorer of late, posting at least 20 points in six of his eight February appearances.

Potter closed with 23 points (9-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 loss to the 76ers.

Potter was red-hot to start the game, ending with a career-high 23 points. He also chipped in across all major categories, making this his best overall performance of the season. Despite continuing to come off the bench behind Jay Huff, Potter has been relatively productive in recent times. In five games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 15.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks, which is good enough for top-70 value in nine-category leagues.

Walker provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 10 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 victory over the Pacers.

Walker suited up for the fourth straight game, although he failed to score in just 10 minutes. While he has been thereabouts when it comes to the nightly rotation this season, on the whole, he has struggled to deliver meaningful contributions. Through 49 regular-season appearances, he has averaged just 3.6 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game.

Walter tallied 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during the Raptors' 116-107 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

Walter helped the Raptors' comeback efforts with nine of his 17 points coming in the third quarter, though he was held scoreless in the fourth frame. His five three-pointers tied a season high that he set against the Celtics on Jan. 9. Walter was back on the bench for Tuesday's contest after starting against the Bucks on Sunday, but he could rejoin Toronto's starting five against San Antonio on Wednesday if Scottie Barnes (quadriceps) is unable to play.

Terry contributed two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal over five minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 victory over the Pacers.

Terry remained in the rotation, although he logged no more than seven minutes for the third straight game. Since arriving in Philadelphia, Terry has been nothing more than an afterthought, typically utilized during garbage time only. Despite the change of scenery, it appears that his fantasy value could remain almost nonexistent.

Payne posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 win over the Pacers.

Payne continues to play a limited role for his new team, having now scored a total of just 10 points across four games. While he has managed to add six steals during that time, the fact that he is averaging 12.6 minutes should be enough to deter fantasy managers when it comes to considering him a viable asset.

Barrett recorded 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 34 minutes during the Raptors' 116-107 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

It was a nice bounce-back performance for Barrett after his seven-point outing against the Bucks on Sunday, with the veteran forward leading the Raptors in both scoring and rebounds. It was just the third time he's scored 20-plus points in 11 outings since returning in mid-January from a seven-game absence due to a right knee injury. Scottie Barnes sustained a bruised right quad in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss, so Barrett would likely take on an expanded role against the Spurs on Wednesday if the former is unable to play.

Caruso posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals over 23 minutes during the Thunder's 116-107 win over the Raptors on Tuesday.

Caruso was given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The veteran guard made his impact felt during Tuesday's win, leading the Thunder with a plus-22 point differential while finishing as the team's third-leading scorer behind Cason Wallace (27 points) and Isaiah Joe (22 points). It was just the third time in 15 games since the new year that Caruso scored in double digits, and while he profiles more as a defender than a scorer, he should have more scoring opportunities on some nights for as long as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) is sidelined.
