George registered 25 points (10-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 loss to Atlanta.

George was one of Washington's most effective offensive players, shooting 71.4 percent from the field while finishing one point shy of Anthony Davis for the team lead. The young forward also paced the Wizards with seven assists, though he committed four turnovers and failed to record a defensive statistic. His substantial playing time and expanding offensive responsibilities remain encouraging for his fantasy outlook.

Wiggins contributed 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Wizards.

Wiggins supplied a well-rounded performance in reserve, connecting on three triples while making an impact defensively. His 29 minutes were the most among Atlanta's bench players, and he finished with a plus-15 rating. The combination of perimeter scoring and defensive production makes Wiggins worth monitoring in deeper leagues if he continues seeing substantial playing time.

Daniels contributed eight points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 16 rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Wizards.

Daniels struggled to find his shooting touch but compensated with a dominant effort on the glass, grabbing seven offensive rebounds. The versatile wing also paced Atlanta with eight assists while committing just two turnovers. Although he failed to register a steal or block, his ability to contribute heavily in rebounds and assists helped salvage a productive fantasy outing.

Okongwu closed Wednesday's 120-105 win over Washington with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes.

Okongwu delivered an impressive all-around performance, collecting 13 defensive rebounds while contributing across five fantasy categories. The big man also knocked down two three-pointers, adding another dimension to his offensive production. His combination of rebounding, defensive contributions and improving perimeter range continues to make him a valuable fantasy center.

Jenkins ended Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the 76ers with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and four assists in 21 minutes.

Jenkins struggled to establish an offensive rhythm, connecting on just two field goals while committing four turnovers. The reserve guard provided some playmaking but failed to contribute a steal or block, limiting his overall fantasy impact. With Cade Cunningham handling the bulk of Detroit's backcourt responsibilities, Jenkins remains a fringe option in deeper formats.

Thompson ended Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the 76ers with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Thompson dominated the glass, collecting 15 defensive rebounds and finishing with a game-high 17 boards. The athletic forward made a significant impact despite a relatively quiet scoring performance, showcasing the rebounding ability that makes him valuable in category leagues. His lack of perimeter shooting remains a limitation, but his contributions on the glass and defensive upside continue to support his fantasy appeal.

Robinson amassed 27 points (8-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Robinson caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down seven three-pointers en route to a team-high 27 points. The veteran sharpshooter was Detroit's most efficient offensive weapon, making eight of his 12 field-goal attempts while logging a substantial workload. Although his contributions outside scoring remained limited, Robinson's perimeter production makes him a valuable specialist for fantasy managers seeking three-pointers.

Maxey produced 19 points (5-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound and seven assists across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 win over the Pistons.

Maxey struggled inside the arc, converting just two of his nine two-point attempts, but his perimeter shooting and perfect night at the foul line helped offset the inefficiency. He also committed only one turnover while handing out seven assists. With Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown combining for 56 points, Maxey didn't need to carry the scoring load to help Philadelphia secure the win.

Caldwell-Pope supplied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 win over the Pistons.

Caldwell-Pope was efficient with his limited opportunities but contributed little beyond scoring. Despite receiving a respectable allotment of playing time off the bench, the veteran wing attempted just three shots and failed to register an assist or defensive statistic. His modest offensive involvement continues to limit his appeal outside deeper fantasy leagues.

Embiid chipped in 26 points (8-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 win over Detroit.

Embiid controlled the interior, pulling down four offensive rebounds while converting all 10 of his free-throw attempts. The veteran center delivered a strong double-double despite struggling from beyond the arc, providing Philadelphia with a reliable presence in the paint. His 33-minute workload was also encouraging for fantasy managers monitoring his availability and playing time.
