Agbaji fell out of the rotation in Toronto, and now he’ll get a fresh start in Brooklyn. The former lottery pick should fill out some minutes on the wing, which could alter Ziaire Williams’ place in the rotation. Agbaji could end up making a large impact for fantasy managers during silly season, but he shouldn’t be rostered at this point.

Rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues, nights like Tuesday serve as a reminder of Goodwin’s value, especially while the Suns are without Devin Booker and Jalen Green. His double-double was accompanied by five steals, one shy of his career-high. Over the past two weeks, Goodwin has been close to a top-100 player in terms of per-game value. If Booker and Green remain out for Thursday’s game against the Warriors, deep-league managers should strongly consider streaming Goodwin if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Allen has now scored at least 23 points in three of his last four outings, and he last failed to hit double figures in a January 5 loss to the Rockets. With Devin Booker and Jalen Green out, Allen was one of the Suns to pick up the slack in Portland, with three — Collin Gillespie and Mark Williams being the others — scoring 24 points or more. Phoenix returns home for its final two games of Week 16, starting with the Warriors on Thursday.

Williams continues to flourish in Phoenix, with Tuesday’s double-double being his 11th of the season and first since January 14. Fantasy managers who rolled the dice on the 7-footer have been rewarded handsomely, as neither Williams’ productivity nor availability has been up for debate. He’s now appeared in 46 games, a career-high for the center who struggled with injuries throughout his first three NBA seasons.

The Trail Blazers’ approach of using “drop” coverage when defending the pick-and-roll proved costly, as Gillespie took advantage on multiple occasions in the most productive night of his NBA career. In addition to matching his season-high with eight three-pointers, the Suns’ guard notched his first 30-point game. Add in the assists and steals, and this was an excellent night for fantasy managers who have continued to roster Gillespie. His ceiling for the final two games of Week 16 depends on the availability of Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring, hip), who both remained out on Tuesday.

While Nic Claxton (10 points, five rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes) will start whenever he’s available, now may be the time for fantasy managers seeking “silly season” value to invest in Sharpe, if they haven’t already. He recorded his third double-double of the season against the Lakers, recording season-highs in points and rebounds while also posting solid numbers in assists and steals. The Nets only play two more games in Week 16, but that should not deter deep-league managers from strongly considering Sharpe.

Back in the lineup after missing two games for personal reasons, Porter recorded his second double-double in as many appearances and ninth of the season. And Tuesday should have been even better for the Nets forward, as he shot a brutal 0-of-9 from beyond the arc. Porter entered the game shooting 39.8 percent from three on the season, so this performance was a clear departure from the norm. The only thing that should concern fantasy managers is MPJ’s availability, especially if he remains in Brooklyn after the trade deadline.

Allen is averaging just 16.1 points per game this season, but has now scored at least 23 points in two of his last three games. The 30-year-old shooting guard and Dillon Brooks provided most of the offense in the 117-93 loss to the Clippers. Allen has provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll remain productive as long as he continues to start ahead of Jalen Green. The Suns have three games in Week 16, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Brooks is averaging a career-high 21.1 points per game at age-30 this season. This was his fifth consecutive game with at least 20 points. Though he wasn’t efficient with 22 points on 20 field goal attempts and the Suns lost 117-93, Brooks continues to carry the offense and that’s been great for his fantasy value. He’s provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Suns have three games in Week 16, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Wolf and the Nets had an evening to forget Sunday in Detroit. The 21-year-old power forward had six points on nine attempts as the Pistons’ blew out the Nets by 53, the franchise’s largest ever margin of victory. Unfortunately, the Nets are no stranger to games like this as they fell to the Knicks by 54 last month. They’ll look to turn the page in Week 16 with three games, the first of which is Tuesday against the Lakers at home.

Thomas returned after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard had 21 points in 24 minutes off the bench.

Dëmin had arguable his best game as a professional Friday against the Jazz. The 19-year-old shooting guard made NBA history, setting the rookie record for most consecutive games with at least one made three-pointer at 34.

Goodwin moved back to the bench earlier this week when Collin Gillespie returned from a hand injury. The 27-year-old has an interesting skillset which includes effective rebounding and excellent defense, though his scoring is inconsistent. With Devin Booker sidelined Friday, Goodwin came off the bench and hit five three-pointers against the Cavaliers. He’s returned 15th-round per game value over the last two weeks, but isn’t necessarily worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Gillespie isn’t going to light up the scoreboard exactly. The 26-year-old shooting guard has scored at least 20 points in a game once in 15 games in January.

Allen has started the last three games for the Suns, and he was able to supply some scoring.

His 10 free throws in this game were the second most of his career, and four days prior to this, he hit nine shots at the charity stripe, which was the third-highest total in a game in his career. Allen should continue to start for the shorthanded Suns and should remain productive against the Cavaliers on Friday.

With Egor Dëmin unavailable, the Nets relied on fellow rookies Traoré and Ben Saraf to run the show in Denver. Traoré logged 30 minutes and had a few good moments, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.
