Haliburton and Siakam were held out of Monday’s win over the Timberwolves, with Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin moving into the starting lineup. If Haliburton and Siakam remain out on Wednesday, Toppin is the player fantasy managers should target. Walker has provided limited streaming value this season, even when allowed to start.

Turner and Nesmith were two of the four Pacers starters who did not play in Monday’s win over the Timberwolves.

Buzelis finished Monday’s victory one rebound shy of a double-double and one steal shy of a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, the Bulls rookie is ranked outside the top 150 in eight-cat formats. However, the opportunity makes Buzelis worth the risk in deep leagues, especially with Patrick Williams unavailable. Chicago plays three more games during Week 20, starting with the Suns on Wednesday.

Josh Giddey’s (ankle) absence has boosted Huerter’s value, as he has started Chicago’s last three games. Red Velvet struggled in Saturday’s loss to the Rockets, scoring nine points on 4-of-11 shooting, but he was much better against the lottery-bound Jazz. The five three-pointers were the most in a game for Huerter since February 24, when he hit seven in a win over the 76ers. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Huerter is worth streaming as long as Giddey is out.

White has been excellent in March, averaging 28.1 points per game while providing top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Josh Giddey’s absence has opened things up even more for White, but the most significant catalyst was Chicago trading Zach LaVine at the February deadline. And with Chicago in a position to earn a play-in tournament spot, playing time won’t be an issue for White for the rest of the season.

A top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, Jones had another quality performance in Chicago’s win over the Jazz. He recorded his first double-double as a Bull, and Jones has scored at least 18 points in three straight appearances. While Lonzo Ball (wrist) is not being shut down for the rest of the season, he is still without a timeline for return. Jones should be rostered in more than 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, especially with the Bulls playing three more games this week.

The Pacers were without their entire frontcourt for Monday’s game, so Walker was able to make his second start in four games. The second-year forward was solid in his 35 minutes on the court, but fantasy managers likely kept their expectations in check. Thomas Bryant was another fill-in, and he finished Monday’s victory with 10 points, seven rebounds, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in 33 minutes. The fantasy values of Bryant and Walker moving forward depend on the availability of Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner; they’re only worth the risk if the veteran starters remain out.

Following Monday’s overtime victory, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle gave McConnell credit for willing the team to the extra period. The veteran point guard took on a more prominent role within the rotation, as Tyrese Haliburton was out with an injury and Andrew Nembhard was ejected during the third quarter. McConnell’s point total did not increase substantially, but he did dish out 13 assists. T.J. will have added value if Haliburton has to miss more time.

Mathurin took on a prominent role in the rotation, with the Pacers playing Monday’s game without four starters. That included the unenviable task of guarding Anthony Edwards for extended periods. While Mathurin would eventually foul out, he did score 22 points before exiting. The field-goal percentage wasn’t the best, but Benn surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time in five games. His value for the rest of Week 20 depends on the availability of Aaron Nesmith, who missed Monday’s game with an ankle injury.

Monday was a great night for former Knicks first-round picks. While Toppin did not reach the 46 points tallied by Quentin Grimes, the 2020 lottery pick came up huge for the Pacers. With four starters unavailable and the fifth ejected during the third quarter, Obi was called on to be an offensive focal point. He answered the call, scoring 34 points with a double-double. And his seventh three-pointer was a shot with 3.8 seconds remaining in overtime, giving the Pacers the two-point victory. Toppin should be picked up if Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner remain out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Nembhard, the lone Pacers starter available for Monday’s game, was ejected when he got into an altercation with Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. After the Pacers guard inadvertently elbowed Mike Conley on a drive to the basket, Gobert gave him a forearm to the upper body. Nembhard threw the ball at Gobert, and both players were ejected. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 19 minutes. T.J. McConnell will play more minutes since Tyrese Haliburton is also out.

Haliburton has hit double digits in assists in his last nine appearances, which is why he has ranked among the best players in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked second in eight-cat formats since the break, trailing only Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. And for managers whose fantasy playoffs begin with Week 20, the Pacers play four games each of the following three weeks. This is a great time to have Haliburton on your roster.

Siakam recorded another 20-point stat line on Saturday, making it five in his last six outings.

Seemingly on his way to the best scoring effort of his NBA career, Giddey’s night ended disappointingly during the fourth quarter. He injured his right ankle after landing on the foot of a Pacers defender and did not return from the locker room. What’s concerning is that this is the same ankle Giddey injured during Australia’s final game during the Paris Olympics, which limited him during the preseason.

The tandem of White and Josh Giddey was outstanding on Monday, as they combined to score 58 points. Over the past month, Coby has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That production is two rounds better than what he’s done this season, and the Bulls may need a little more from White in the short term. Giddey injured his right ankle during the fourth quarter, and the Bulls have also been without Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu.
