Appearing in a game for the first time since January 21, Mitchell looked far from rusty in the first half of Monday’s victory. Shooting 7-of-12 from the field, the second-year guard scored 15 points before halftime. Mitchell ultimately played 29 minutes, with Cason Wallace (four points, two rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes) taking the most significant hit in terms of playing time. Before his injuries, Mitchell was productive enough to become a must-roster player in deep leagues. In the aftermath of Monday’s performance, his rostership is likely to increase.

As a general rule, JayWill should be considered as a streaming option on nights when Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein don’t play. On nights when both are out, Williams is a must-roster player. He was outstanding against the Nuggets, shooting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. The seven triples were a career-high for the former second-round pick, and fantasy managers also benefited from the rebounds, assists and blocked shots. Oklahoma City doesn’t play again until Thursday, which may be enough time to get Holmgren and Hartenstein back in the lineup. If not, do not hesitate to pick up Williams.

A thriller in Oklahoma City went down to the wire, with the reigning Most Valuable Player getting the last laugh. Gilgeous-Alexander hit three-pointers on the Thunder’s final two possessions, the last giving the reigning champs the 129-126 victory. And he made some history, moving into a tie with Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games with at least 20 points, 126. Add in the career-high 15 assists and nine rebounds, and Monday was another great night for SGA and those who have him on their fantasy rosters.

Williams was back in the Bulls’ rotation on Sunday after missing four games with a strained quad, playing 17 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Kings. If available, he’ll likely take on a similar workload, which makes Williams a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.

While the Bulls lost by 16, Buzelis still had an excellent game Sunday. The 21-year-old small forward had 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists against the Kings. He also added three blocks on the defensive end. Buzelis has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls have three games upcoming in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Williams moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, as a calf injury sidelined Isaiah Hartenstein. JayWill shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories while playing 32 minutes. His productivity is no surprise to experienced fantasy managers, as Williams has put up some big lines in the past when allowed to start. The Thunder’s three-game Week 20 does not include a back-to-back, so Williams’ value could be limited if Hartenstein returns.

The Thunder did not have Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein for Saturday’s game, with the former’s absence opening a spot in the starting lineup for Joe. While he did not provide any defensive stats, the percentages were solid for the Thunder wing.

Gilgeous-Alexander is one step closer, having scored at least 20 points in 125 consecutive games. That’s one away from Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record, and SGA can match the all-time great on Monday against the Nuggets. As for his performance against the Warriors, Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have the best night shooting from the field, but a near-perfect night at the foul line boosted the points tally. Monday’s matchup with the Nuggets is the first of three games for the Thunder in Week 20.

The Bulls didn’t have Matas Buzelis or Patrick Williams for Thursday’s game, so Miller was the next man up. His issue offensively was the three-point shot, with the third-year forward missing all five of his attempts.

Since being traded to the Bulls, Yabusele has reached double figures in scoring in nine of the 12 games he’s played. As a Bull, the rugged forward has averaged 11.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers. Shooting 41.7 percent from the field hasn’t done Yabusele any favors in terms of fantasy value, but at least he’s getting consistent minutes in Chicago.

No Josh Giddey (ankle) ensured that Jones was the point guard running the show on Thursday, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. The 21 points were the most in a game for Jones, who’s hit double figures in four straight, since he dropped 34 on the Rockets in mid-January. All that his final stat line lacked was a blocked shot, but few are surprised by that. Having started alongside Giddey when Josh is healthy, Jones is someone worth rostering for the rest of the season.

The Suns seemingly underestimated the shorthanded Bulls, and Sexton made them pay dearly. The veteran guard put up a season-high point total and did so efficiently, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing just one turnover. His place in the starting lineup depends on the availability of Josh Giddey (ankle), who was injured during Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder. The Bulls are off until Sunday when they visit the Kings, so that may be enough time for Giddey to get back onto the court.
