Since returning from All-Star break, Holmes has been a monster, returning averages of 19.0/12.7/3.0 with 2 blocks and unreal FG%. With the injury to Bagley and Whiteside continuing to struggle to earn minutes, Holmes will shoulder the brunt of the frontcourt minutes.

Buddy has been disappointing this year, shooting less than 40% from the field and providing little outside of threes, but he chipped in some steals and boards in addition to his usual makes from beyond the arc.

The only place Hayward is a slight net negative is in turnovers and even then, he hardly hurts you. Top-35 player on the season.

The Greek Freak was perfect from the line! Oh, and he also posted a triple-double, four stocks, and a triple to boot. Impressive but unsurprising stuff, save for the perfect free-throw shooting.

BroLo doesn’t get much fantasy love as of late, which is fair considering his value lies in a rare combination of 3-pt shooting and shot-blocking from a big, and his impact in both categories has come down a notch. Last night, he was fantastic, producing across the board.

The Wizards’ rotation is ever-changing, much like the moon. Rui got 37 minutes of action and stuffed the stat sheet, making it two consecutive games of heavy workload and a great return. On a less positive note, both ended up in Wizards’ losses, but that may speak more to the team as a whole. Hachimura’s inability to rack up stocks will hamper his fantasy value.

The 17 assists warrant a blurb on their own, though a closer look at Russ’s line may reveal certain inefficiencies. As usual, the shooting is subpar and the TOs are brutal.

Old Man Green killed the Knicks with his efficiency tonight, though he isn’t a terribly appealing fantasy option going forward, as the Nets will look to get Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant back in the coming weeks.

As we’ve seen, increased minutes on a per-minute monster does not a complete player make. But even if these performances only come every third or fourth game, Poeltl is going to be a must-roster player the rest of the way, unless the Spurs make a play for a big at the deadline.

Ugly loss by the Pistons that saw Plumlee play fewer minutes than the neophyte, Isaiah Stewart. That’s something to watch as the Pistons fall farther and farther out of the playoff picture.

LeVert is finally back, and he’s playing heavy minutes right off the bat. I’ll admit, I’m not a big fan of LeVert’s fantasy outlook, but huge props to him for battling to get back on the court so quickly. I imagine he’ll get better as he gels with his new team.

Trez did his work in just 25 minutes of action as Coach Vogel opted for an 11-man rotation. If he were getting his 28 minutes like last year, Trez would be a more consistent if not appealing option.
