Holmgren recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-108 win over the Bulls.

The double-double was the 20th of the season for Holmgren, the second time he's reached that mark in his career. The 23-year-old big has recorded seven of them in his last 11 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.5 points, 11.2 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 29.3 minutes.

Rupert became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

After signing his 10-day deal Feb. 22, Rupert had been a regular part of the rotation for each of the Grizzlies' ensuing five games, averaging 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.2 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest. The Grizzlies could look to re-sign the third-year wing to a second 10-day deal ahead of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, or potentially bring Rupert back on a two-way deal in order to upgrade Olivier-Maxence Prosper from his two-way pact to a standard contract.

Ware contributed 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and five steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 victory over Brooklyn.

Ware made the most of his minutes off the bench en route to posting his second straight double-double, and he's achieved that feat in four of his six appearances off the bench since the All-Star break. Over that span, Ware is averaging a robust line of 11.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 21.0 minutes per game.

Adebayo recorded 23 points (11-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and six steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 victory over Brooklyn.

Adebayo ended just one rebound shy of posting a double-double, but the star big man had one of his most complete performances of the season. He also recorded a season-high mark in steals and delivered at least four tallies in four of the five major categories, with the blocks output being the only exception. Adebayo has scored at least 23 points in three straight games, averaging a solid line of 20.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Walker totaled 20 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 loss to San Antonio.

Walker delivered a season-high 20 points, all of which came in the final 19 minutes of the game. Philadelphia was completely dominated in this game, allowing the second and third units to play extended minutes. While this was a good offensive showing, there is no need to overreact given the scoreline.

Bona closed Tuesday's 131-91 loss to San Antonio with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes.

Bona continues to do very little with his time on the court, failing to take advantage of the fact that Joel Embiid is currently dealing with an oblique injury. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, Bona has put up just 6.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, logging 18.4 minutes per game.

Herro chipped in 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 victory over the Nets.

Herro is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his first four outings since the All-Star break, but his production remains steady. He's now scored at least 18 points in three straight games and is finding his shooting stroke, going 7-for-18 from three-point range in that span. Herro should be a strong bet to hover around the 20-point mark on a steady basis as long as he stays in the first unit, as he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Olynyk closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 win over the 76ers.

Olynyk, joined by his fellow benchwarmers, played the entire fourth quarter as San Antonio easily accounted for a disappointing Philadelphia outfit. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, Olynyk is simply not a factor on most nights, averaging just 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 7.3 minutes per game in 14 appearances over the past two months.

Williams recorded 16 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 loss to the Heat.

The fact that Williams went 8-for-9 from the charity stripe salvaged his fantasy performance in a game where he went 3-for-10 from the floor, including 1-for-5 in two-pointers. This was the first time Williams scored in double digits since the end of the All-Star break, and his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis, both in terms of his role and production, limits his fantasy upside considerably. If he continues to come off the bench, he's not a player worth targeting even as a streaming alternative.

Biyombo contributed five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 victory over the 76ers.

Biyombo played the entire fourth quarter, as the Spurs destroyed the undermanned 76ers. San Antonio was able to roll with its bench down the stretch, providing the starters with some much-needed rest. Of course, there is no reason to consider Biyombo a viable fantasy asset, even in the deepest of leagues.
