Murray-Boyles logged 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and one block over 24 minutes during the Raptors' 127-116 loss to the Pistons on Tuesday.

Murray-Boyles was cleared to play Tuesday after missing Sunday's game against the Magic due to lower-back spasms. He gave the Raptors a nice spark of the bench, leading the team in rebounds (including seven on the offensive glass) while finishing as Toronto's fourth-leading scorer. Murray-Boyles has enjoyed a productive rookie campaign and has been an important piece of the Raptors' rotation, especially when Jakob Poeltl missed time due to his own back injury.

Jenkins finished Tuesday's 127-116 win over the Raptors with 21 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 37 minutes.

Jenkins attempted just nine shots from the field, but he still reached the 20-point threshold for the sixth time this season thanks to his work at the charity stripe, where he logged career highs in both made and attempted free throws. Jenkins saw his role off the Pistons' bench steadily increase as the season progressed, and he has thrived in a starting role while filling in for the injured Cade Cunningham (chest). Jenkins has started in each of the Pistons' last eight games, and over that span he has averaged 18.5 points, 6.9 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 threes over 36.2 minutes per game.

Johnson registered 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 loss to the Hornets.

Johnson exceeded 20 minutes for the first time in the past four games, scoring in double digits for the fifth time in his young career. With Brooklyn manipulating its rotation on a nightly basis, it's hard to be too excited by this performance. Generally speaking, fantasy managers are better off focusing on other teams when it comes to streaming candidates.

Robinson registered 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal over 29 minutes during the Pistons' 127-116 win over the Raptors on Tuesday.

Robinson sat out Monday's game against the Thunder due to a right hip strain, but the veteran sharpshooter was cleared to return for the second leg of the Pistons' back-to-back set Tuesday. He gave the Pistons the scoring spark they needed and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Jalen Duren (31 points) and Daniss Jenkins (21 points). It was the 11th time this season that Robinson connected on five-plus threes, with three of those games coming in his last eight outings since March 15.

Claxton had four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 loss to the Hornets.

Claxton's turned in another underwhelming performance. Despite being a regular fixture in the starting lineup, he has been outside the top 250 in 14 games over the past month. During that time, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. At this point, he is nowhere near being a must-roster player.

White supplied 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 win over the Nets.

Despite some inconsistent shooting, White continues to provide Charlotte with valuable production off the bench. He has scored in double digits in nine straight games while also chipping in across other categories, most notably assists and threes. While he isn't a must-roster player, he certainly isn't out of place on a standard-league roster.

Reese (two-way) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Reese will be held out of a second straight game as the Wizards look to preserve his eligibility for the remainder of the season while he's signed to a two-way deal. He'll be eligible to suit up in all of Washington's final six games after Wednesday.

Mann recorded two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in six minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 victory over Brooklyn.

Mann has failed to play more than 10 minutes in 16 straight games, and in six of those he has failed to see the floor at all. With Charlotte firing on all cylinders at the moment, Mann's role is basically non-existent, eliminating any chance he has at putting up fantasy value. He can be ignored in just about every format.

Duren logged 31 points (12-13 FG, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes during the Pistons' 127-116 win over the Raptors on Tuesday.

Duren was cleared to play after missing Monday's game against the Thunder due to knee injury management. His return was the boost that the Pistons desperately needed, especially in the continued absence of Cade Cunningham (chest). It was Duren's eighth 30-plus-point performance of the season (and fourth in 10 games since March 13). Across his last 10 outings, the All-Star center has averaged 25.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 blocks over 31.2 minutes per game.

Kalkbrenner posted eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 win over the Nets.

Kalkbrenner continues to play a backup role, which, to this point has yielded very little in terms of fantasy production. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has barely been a top-200 player, averaging 6.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. At best, he can be streamed for blocks when the schedule works in his favor.
