Thybulle finished Tuesday's 103-101 loss to the Hornets with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two steals over 11 minutes.

Thybulle continues to produce on the defensive end despite playing limited minutes off the bench. Since making his return from a long-term knee injury, Thybulle has recorded at least one steal in all but one of his games. In 10 appearances, he has averaged 1.6 steals in 11.7 minutes per game, putting him firmly on the streaming radar as a specialist.

Green ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over Portland.

Green scored no more than six points for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to offer very little in terms of tangible production. Although he can be an impactful player, particularly on the defensive end, his efforts rarely translate into fantasy value. In 42 games thus far, he has averaged just 5.0 points and 1.1 three-pointers in 16.8 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top-300 players.

Diabate produced seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over Portland.

Diabate continues to deliver important contributions on both ends of the floor. While his scoring remains modest, to say the least, his ability to rebound at a high rate while adding consistent defensive numbers makes him a clear must-roster player. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, he has put up top-75 value in standard leagues, averaging 8.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals and blocks.

Ball had 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers.

Ball couldn't escape the referee's whistle, limited to just 22 minutes as a result of foul trouble. Although he eventually fouled out, Ball was still able to end with a serviceable fantasy line, helping the Hornets to an impressive come-from-behind victory. Look for Ball to make amends when Charlotte travels to Sacramento on Wednesday.

Crawford contributed one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over the Raptors.

Crawford remained in the rotation, albeit for three minutes during garbage time. To this point, Crawford has been a non-factor, averaging just 1.0 points in 5.5 minutes per game, having appeared in 10 games.

Green notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over three minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over Toronto.

Green went scoreless in the win, continuing to serve as nothing more than a garbage-time specialist. Much like Garrett Temple for the Raptors, Green's primary purpose at this point in his career is to provide the young players with a veteran presence. He clearly has no fantasy appeal, even in the deepest of leagues.

Eason chipped in eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over the Raptors.

Eason continues to offer very little on the offensive end of the floor, having now scored single digits in seven of his past eight games. During that time, he has averaged just 6.6 points to go with 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals, leaving him outside the top-150 players in nine-category formats. While he does remain a viable standard league asset, those in the fantasy playoffs may have to part ways with him to open up a streaming spot.

Mamukelashvili supplied eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to Houston.

With Jakob Poeltl sidelined due to illness, Mamukelashvili was inserted into the starting lineup. While the 30 minutes were encouraging, his production was largely underwhelming. For those who picked him up, he is worth holding with the Raptors on the first night of a back-to-back. However, beyond that, he is likely nothing more than a stream-level player.

Temple provided no counting stats across three minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Rockets.

Temple dusted off the cobwebs, appearing in a game for just the third time in the past 15 games. Those three appearances add up to a total of 10 minutes, bringing his season average to 2.9 minutes per game across 16 contests. At this point in his career, Temple is nothing more than a locker room presence.

Kispert supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Mavericks.

Kispert scored just two points, failing to reach double digits for the ninth time in the past 11 games. While he does provide the Hawks with another floor-spacing option, Kispert offers very little upside across the board. In 25 appearances since joining Atlanta, he has averaged just 10.0 points and 1.6 three-pointers, barely putting up top-300 value.
