Kennard has logged at least 19 minutes in seven of his last eight games, with his minutes increasing when the shots are falling. The Hawks’ guard was 4-of-5 from beyond the arc in Memphis, with the 18 points being double his tally from the prior three games combined. Kennard still isn’t at the point where he can be trusted in fantasy leagues, but more nights like Wednesday could change that.

While he did shoot 60 percent from the field and record a complete stat line, this was a rough night for Okongwu. In addition to fouling out, the Hawks’ center committed a season-high seven turnovers. The good news is that nights like this have not been the norm for Okongwu, so it’s safe to assume that he’ll bounce back. And over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats.

Johnson wasn’t among the ten players named starters for next month’s All-Star Game, but there’s little doubt that he should be making the trip. The Hawks’ forward recorded another stellar stat line on Wednesday, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. After taking one significant leap last season, Johnson has taken another, and that likely factored into the Hawks’ decision to trade Trae Young. Johnson has been a fantasy cornerstone this season, and that should be the case for future seasons as well.

A double-digit scorer in five of his last seven appearances, Walker’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since late-November. While the third-year forward isn’t a trustworthy fantasy option right now, he’s someone who could be more valuable during the “silly season.” Given where the Pacers are in the standings, young players like Walker shouldn’t lack for opportunities after the All-Star break.

While Siakam has scored at least 21 points in five straight appearances, Wednesday’s was his first with at least 30 since a January 8 win over the Hornets. While it has been tough sledding for the Pacers’ forward, he’s managed to provide top-100 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with Siakam’s ADP (30), but things could be far worse for those who have him rostered.

Jackson played six minutes off the bench before exiting with a sore right ankle. While his absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, it does free up minutes for some of the Pacers’ other reserves.

According to Carlisle, Mathurin, who has not played since January 2, is progressing in his recovery from thumb and toe injuries. While the head coach also noted that he’s unsure when the wing will be able to play in games, Carlisle said on January 16 that he believed that Mathurin could play at some point during the Pacers’ current five-game road trip. Johnny Furphy should remain in the starting lineup until Mathurin can play without restriction.

Nesmith got a rest night on Saturday, but the extra time off didn’t lead to a better performance. He had a rough shooting night and set a new career high for turnovers. He was able to somewhat offset the struggles by setting a season high for rebounds and contributing on the defensive end. This is the fifth straight game he has shot below 40 percent from the floor, and he’s shot below 25 percent in three of those. It has been a rough season overall for Nesmith, and there isn’t much reason to roster him at this point.

Siakam was one of the key pieces that sat out against Detroit on Saturday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He was back in the starting unit, and while he played well, it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. This is the fourth straight game that Siakam has scored at least 20 points, and he’s surpassed that mark in 11 of his last 12 games. He’ll look to keep it going in Boston on Wednesday.

Nembhard has been a decent fantasy option for most of the season, though his production has been up and down. However, he has been excellent as of late. Over his last six games, he has averaged 19.2 points, 8.3 assists and 2.2 triples per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor. He is playing to the level that managers were hoping they would with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined. He’ll look to stay hot in Boston on Wednesday.
