Sexton totaled 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 loss to Charlotte.

The Bulls have several injuries in the backcourt, allowing Sexton to gobble up a good amount of playing time. His upside remains limited, however, making him a lukewarm pickup in fantasy hoops.

Williams racked up two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 victory over the Raptors.

Williams didn't get much opportunity to play in this one, but that's likely to change Wednesday against Detroit -- Chet Holmgren (back) is doubtful and Isaiah Hartenstein is resting, leaving Williams as the next man up in the rotation.

Wiggins logged 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Bucks.

This was Wiggins' seventh game of the season with three blocks, and his second straight game with four treys. Wiggins has quietly been a top-60 producer this season with averages of 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.1 triples, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and just 1.6 turnovers per contest.

Ball had 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 victory over the Bulls.

After sinking a career-high 10 threes in his last outing, Ball wasn't shy and attempted another 12 against Chicago. He sank four from deep, while matching his season average for assists. Including newcomer Coby White, the Hornets have five players averaging 18 points or more this year, giving Ball the luxury of feeding his teammates or looking for his own shot on a nightly basis.

Hauser closed with 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over Phoenix.

Hauser took advantage of some extra touches due to Jaylen Brown being sidelined by a knee issue. Overall this season, Hauser is sitting just inside the top-200 players in standard nine-category formats with averages of 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 24.3 minutes per contest.

Jaquez finished with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Bucks.

After going 0-for-8 from three-point range in his previous three outings, Jaquez finally broke through from distance Tuesday evening. However, with Tyler Herro back in the mix, Jaquez's minutes have dipped to the mid-20s, and he's responded with averages of 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.

White finished with 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over the Suns.

White took advantage of some extra usage due to Jaylen Brown (knee) getting the night off, narrowly missing a triple-double in the process. White continues to lead the Celtics in fantasy value for nine-category formats, posting averages of 17.1 points, 5.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.5 blocks and 2.8 three-pointers.

Thompson closed Tuesday's 123-114 victory over the Nets with 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes.

Thompson went just 3-for-11 from the floor in his previous outing, so it was nice to see him get things back on track against the defensively-challenged Nets on Tuesday evening. Thompson tends to be good for some triples, but he typically doesn't impact other areas of the box score, making him little more than a three-point specialist in deep leagues.

Kispert supplied 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 victory over the Wizards.

Kispert snapped a four-game, single-digit scoring streak during Tuesday's win over the Wizards, and this was his first game with multiple triples since Feb. 7. Across 20 games with the Hawks, Kispert has recorded averages of 9.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 triples per contest, but he could see an uptick in usage if Jalen Johnson (hip) misses extended time.

Hartenstein has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to right soleus injury management, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Wednesday's game will be the second of a back-to-back set, so Hartenstein will receive a maintenance day after tallying 11 points, nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 victory over the Raptors. Chet Holmgren (back) isn't expected to play either, so Jaylin Williams could be looking at a spot start at center. The Thunder will also have more minutes available in the frontcourt for Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson.
