Williams continues to be an underrated option in fantasy basketball, and he was productive once again as a starter on Tuesday. Williams is rostered in just 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but what has made him a valuable streaming option is Brooklyn’s five-game week that they’re currently in the midst of. Williams has provided top-75 value in nine-cat leagues over the past week, and he could certainly continue to produce at that level for the rest of the week. They still have three more games, so it isn’t too late to reap the rewards.

Thomas missed the first night of the back-to-back for Brooklyn, but he returned to the lineup on Tuesday. He got right back to being an elite scoring option and contributed 16 of his 27 points in the first half. Not only was this Thomas’ highest-scoring performance since November, but his 32 minutes were also the most that he has played in a game since then. Brooklyn still has three more games this week, though they have a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s game is a tougher matchup (Boston), so expect Thomas to play in that game and sit out against Atlanta on Sunday.

Vassell hasn’t missed a game since December, but he could be sidelined against Dallas. Stephon Castle would likely replace him in the starting lineup, though Julian Champagnie is also a candidate. Castle would be the better streaming option regardless of who starts.

Sochan missed the second leg of San Antonio’s back-to-back when they played Dallas on Monday, but there is a chance that he is back for the rematch. Keldon Johnson scored 28 points off the bench with Sochan out but will likely take a production hit if Sochan returns.

Vassell had been quieter over San Antonio’s last two games after scoring 37 points last week, but he got back on track as a scoring option on Monday. His slump appears to be over, and he has contributed value in other areas, which has helped his fantasy impact. He has averaged 18.5 points, five rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers per game over the last two weeks, which ranks inside the top-40 in nine-cat scoring. He should continue to be a strong option for the rest of the season.

Johnson came up big in the second half of Monday’s game, scoring 20 of his 28 points after the break. That wasn’t enough for San Antonio to get the win, but he did tie his season-high for scoring, which he has now reached three times this season. Johnson isn’t a great option in category formats, but he is more than capable of getting hot and knocking down a ton of shots. They play Dallas again on Wednesday, and Johnson will look to keep the offensive production going.

Despite being a consistent starter, Barnes has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball this season. He’s an efficient player that can hit some three-pointers, but he doesn’t help in any individual category. However, he was unconscious as a scorer in Monday’s loss. His two missed field goal attempts were both three-pointers, meaning he made all eight of his two-point attempts. He didn’t enjoy that same success at the free throw line as he made just one of his three shots. This was an excellent performance from him, but there is a reason that he is rostered in just 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues despite playing 27.4 minutes per game.

After an ineffective 18-minute runout in his return from a sprained ankle on Saturday, Clowney was far more impactful against the Lakers. He shot 3-of-8 from beyond the arc and recorded a steal and a blocked shot. The 19 points are the most Clowney has scored in a game since January 14 against Portland, and the Nets forward has the potential to be a “silly season” standout. However, it’s possible that Clowney won’t play in Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers for injury management reasons.

While efficiency has been an issue for Johnson this season, that was not the case on Monday. He made 60 percent of his attempts against the Lakers and finished one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. While Johnson has been ranked outside the top 150 over the past month, the circumstances in Brooklyn make him worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues. Occasionally, he’ll have a night like Monday that rewards fantasy managers for their patience.

The Nets’ seven-game losing streak ended on Monday, and the team’s balanced offensive effort was a factor. Johnson was one of three Nets to score at least 18 points, with Keon Johnson and Noah Clowney being the others. Over the past month, Cam has been a seventh-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Saturday’s loss to Charlotte was the first game he’s missed since early February; fantasy managers will hope Johnson is consistently available for the playoff weeks, as he has been a dependable option when playing.

No surprise here as Sochan was initially listed as doubtful with a calf injury. Keldon Johnson could see increased minutes and usage with the 21-year-old power forward out. Johnson is a potential streamer for managers looking for points and threes in deeper formats.

Castle has scored 20 points or more in five of his last six appearances, and Sunday’s performance was efficient. The rookie guard did not commit a turnover in his 28 minutes on the floor, the second time he’s done so since the All-Star break. While the weekend in San Francisco may have worn Castle down some, he’s bounced back from a slow start to the “second half.” Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Spurs guard has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over his last six.

Fox had a good night shooting the basketball, making 66.7 percent of his attempts. However, it wasn’t enough to keep the Spurs from getting blitzed in Minneapolis, the team’s seventh loss in nine games. While there may be a desire to give Fox all the time he needs to place his imprint on the roster, it’s fair to wonder if the Spurs will either decrease his minutes or hold him out of the occasional game as the season winds down. San Antonio plays four games during Week 19, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

Thomas and Watford will sit out the first game of the Nets’ back-to-back as they face the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Russell combined for 19 points, eight assists and a rebound across his last two games, so Saturday’s performance was a nice bounce back effort.

Fox was traded to the Spurs prior to the trade deadline after he and the Kings failed to agree on a contract extension. On Friday, the 27-year-old point guard struggled in a matchup against his former teammates. Fox had 16 points on 17 shots as he shot 35 percent from the floor. It was an off-night, but Fox has been solid overall since the All-Star break as he ranks just outside the top-50 in fantasy value in that time.

Castle has now scored at least 22 points in four of his last five games. The 20-year-old shooting guard has made at least 50 percent of his field goals in four of his last five games as well. Still available in most fantasy leagues, Castle might be worth rostering as he continues to push for the Rookie of the Year Award down the stretch of the season.

One day removed from participating in a 5-on-5 session, Clowney has been cleared to return from the sprained left ankle that sidelined him for over a month. Even if he’s immediately placed in the starting lineup (Cameron Johnson is out Saturday), the second-year forward is unlikely to take on a full workload in his first game back. However, Clowney has the potential to provide value once any restrictions are removed.

Johnson’s 26 points in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors was the most he’s scored in over two months. Now the 29-year-old small forward finds himself ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hornets with left knee soreness. Fantasy managers that roster Johnson would prefer he help the team make the play-in tournament. An injury like this could portend a late-season shutdown.

This was an ideal game for Brooklyn. A competitive loss is what every tanking team craves. It was also an encouraging performance for Johnson, who had his highest-scoring game in over two months. Though Brooklyn isn’t that far out of the Play-In Tournament, it would be surprising if they truly made a push to make it. Johnson was in and out of the lineup over the final few weeks of last season, and managers should expect that to happen again this year. Luckily, it didn’t start until late March last season, so there should be more time before that is a risk.

Brooklyn jumped out to a 25-5 lead on Thursday, but it wasn’t enough for them to get the win over Golden State. Martin was a big part of their early success as he scored 13 of his 17 points in the first half. Martin hasn’t been much of a factor in fantasy basketball this season outside of a few big scoring nights. However, he has played a consistent role for the Nets lately, and he may see his minutes increase as the season winds down. Martin is a player to keep an eye on as “silly season” approaches.

Who anticipated this? Claxton, whose previous career-high for assists was six, dished out 10 dimes and nearly recorded a triple-double in Thursday’s loss. Claxton has been a strong category league player over the last few seasons because of his contributions in rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage, and managers shouldn’t expect Claxton to continue to be a reliable source of assists. Still, it was a fun boost on Thursday and encouraging for his overall value, especially if Jordi Fernandez does continue to use him as a playmaking option.

Clowney has been sidelined since January, but he is progressing closer to returning to the lineup. He was a consistent presence in the starting unit in January and could return to that role shortly after he returns to the rotation.

His return will cut into the minutes of Nic Claxton and Day’Ron Sharpe.

After recording double-doubles in two losses to the Pelicans, Biyombo provided minimal value in the following three games. He managed to snap out of that funk Tuesday night, with the veteran center recording his best stat line of the season. Biyombo hasn’t been the most reliable option, with Victor Wembanyama done for the season, but he’s worth streaming in deep leagues because he’s a starter. There’s no need to add Biyombo on Wednesday morning, as the Spurs don’t play again until Friday. He’ll be worthy of consideration then.

Fox was solid on Tuesday, and that’s all the Spurs needed, with Devin Vassell having the best night of his NBA career. Since the All-Star break, Fox has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, ranking just outside the top 50.

That may motivate the team to allow its veterans to play out the rest of the season, benefiting Fox managers.

Castle’s fantasy value hasn’t been great since the All-Star break, as he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. However, his recent offensive production is likely strengthening his case for Rookie of the Year.

Not too long ago, some questioned whether or not it was time for fantasy managers to move on from Vassell. Those who refused to do so were rewarded significantly Tuesday night, as he had the best game of his NBA career. The 37 points were a career-high for Vassell, who shot 8-of-11 from three and recorded a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, Devin has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately, he’ll have to wait a few days to build on Tuesday’s performance, as the Spurs don’t play again until Friday.

With Cam Thomas back in the lineup, Johnson’s shot attempts took a hit Tuesday night. The 10 attempts are the fewest he’s had in a game since February 10, but the good news for fantasy managers is that Johnson snapped out of his three-point funk. After shooting 0-of-10 from beyond the arc in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons, he made three of his six attempts in San Antonio. While Johnson has played in every game since missing six with a sprained ankle in early February, there’s always the possibility of the Nets pulling the plug to improve their draft lottery odds.

Like D’Angelo Russell, availability has been an issue for Thomas. He’s only appeared in two games since injuring his hamstring on January 2, limiting his fantasy upside. And with the Nets playing two back-to-backs during Week 19, Thomas may be looking at a three-game week at best. Keon Johnson (8/7/1/1 with one three-pointer) only played 18 minutes off the bench, but he may be worth holding onto in deep leagues as a safety net in case Thomas misses more time.

Tuesday’s game was the second for Russell since the All-Star break, and availability will be a concern for the rest of the season. And with the Nets only two games behind 10th-place Chicago in the loss column, a little more “effort” may be required from the front office to improve the team’s lottery odds. That would be bad news for managers looking to Russell for production during the fantasy playoffs. The Nets only play two more games during Week 18, but they have two back-to-back during a five-game Week 19.

Castle was sensational on Sunday, finishing one point shy of his season high. The rookie guard shot over 50 percent from the field against the Thunder and grabbed eight rebounds.

He’s scored 22 points or more in three straight games and has been an 11th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. Despite coming off the bench, Castle will play plenty for the rest of the season.

Fox didn’t necessarily have a terrible Sunday night, but fantasy managers likely hoped for a more robust stat line.

CP3 played 28 minutes on Sunday, finishing with six points, three rebounds, six assists, one block and two three-pointers.

The Spurs haven’t pulled the plug on this season, and with good reason, as they’re still looking to empower De’Aaron Fox as the point guard of the future.

While Vassell’s shooting has not improved much, as he’s made just 37.7 percent of his attempts over the past week, he’s scored 20 points in two of his last three outings.

Over the past month, Vassell has averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game on 25.7 percent shooting. When well over one-third of your attempts are three-pointers, a cold streak will have a more significant impact.
