Jase Richardson accounted for 20 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Wizards.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane tallied 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s loss to the Wizards.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero finished Tuesday’s loss to the Wizards with 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer.
Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bilal Coulibaly tallied 14 points (4-of-8 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, five steals and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s win over the Magic.
Darius Garland

CLE Guard #10

Darius Garland amassed 29 points (14-of-23 FGs), two rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes on Tuesday, leading the Cavaliers to a 120-116 win over the Pacers.

Garland scored 18 of his 29 points in the second half, putting the Cavaliers on his back with Donovan Mitchell, who went off for 75 points combined in the previous two contests against the Pacers earlier this season, getting the night off for load management purposes. The 25-year-old point guard drilled a clutch pullup jumper in the final seconds to give Cleveland a commanding three-point advantage following a late rally from Indiana. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to take 20-plus shots with Mitchell back in the mix but he’s capable of carrying the Cavaliers when he’s out of the lineup.
Jay Huff

IND Center #32

Jay Huff matched a season-high with 20 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Huff, who leads the NBA in blocks this season, knocked down 4-of-7 from three-point range and matched his previous season-high mark that he set back on November 19 in a win over the Hornets. Unfortunately, his offensive outburst wasn’t enough as Indiana dropped their 13th straight game and remain winless since December 8. The 27-year-old shot blocker is averaging 2.2 per-game, which gives him some relevance in deeper fantasy leagues.
Justin Champagnie

WAS Guard-Forward #9

Justin Champagnie recorded 17 points (6-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Magic.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen recorded 19 points (8-of-13 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 33 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers.
CJ McCollum

WAS Guard #3

CJ McCollum accounted for 27 points (11-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Magic.

Despite an excellent first half, McCollum said during his walk-off interview at halftime that he “left some money on the table.” The veteran guard made up for that in the fourth quarter, shooting 4-of-6 from the field to help Washington close out its tenth win of the season. McCollum’s name has come up in connection with Trae Young trade rumors recently, making him a player to watch well ahead of the February trade deadline. The good news for those who have McCollum rostered is that he can still offer solid fantasy value.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam finished with 22 points (9-of-23 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 34 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers.
