While Barnes continues to hit double figures in the points category, his production in some other categories has slipped since the All-Star break. In six games, the All-Star forward has averaged 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks while shooting 48.7 percent from the field. Barnes has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats during this stretch, according to Basketball Monster, so the fall has not been a steep one. But he’s capable of doing more than he has in recent games.

After shooting 4-of-14 from the field in Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks, Quickley cleaned up his shooting on Tuesday. The Raptors guard made 60 percent of his attempts, and fantasy managers also received solid value in the assist category. Since failing to record an assist in Toronto’s February 25 loss to the Raptors, Quickley has totaled 30 helpers over his last three games while committing five turnovers.

Make it four games of 20 points or more in the last for Barrett, whose fantasy value slipped noticeably heading into the All-Star break. His value has rebounded somewhat since the break, but limited assist and defensive production continue to limit Barrett’s value, especially in category leagues. The Raptors play once more in Week 19, on Sunday against the Mavericks.

The rookie has started all three games of his NBA career after signing a two-way contract less than a week ago, but this way by far his best performance. This was his highest-scoring and highest-rebounding game so far, and he completely dominated down low, which included 10 offensive rebounds. Reese should certainly be considered for teams in need of boards down the stretch of this season, though it is unlikely this carries over into next year.

Young finally made his debut for Washington after Atlanta traded him nearly two months prior. He was expected to be limited to 17-20 minutes, and he ended up falling inside that range at 19 minutes. While there were some fun moments with him on the floor, and there is a clear vision for this team next season, Young will need to see his minutes increase for him to truly make a fantasy impact. Otherwise, he ends up being a big name that’s too good to drop but not productive enough to help in the fantasy playoffs. Unfortunately, Washington likely won’t have much interest in playing him much more than he did in this game.

George injured his left elbow during Monday’s loss to the Rockets, and he was initially diagnosed with a sprain. Further evaluations revealed a partially torn UCL, and the second-year wing will be re-evaluated in three weeks. While there is a chance that George returns for the final week of the fantasy season in standard Yahoo! leagues, he would likely be under a minutes limit if so. For those who held off on adding Will Riley, now is the time to do so.

The good news for fantasy managers was that Quickley recorded 12 assists, the second consecutive game that he’s hit double digits in that category. However, he struggled to knock down shots, shooting 3-of-10 from beyond the arc. Quickley has shot the ball well from the field since the All-Star break, making nearly 49 percent of his attempts. Tuesday’s performance wasn’t the best, but he’s been good overall in recent weeks.

Ingram had it rolling during the first half, as he scored 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. The Knicks did a far better job of defending him after halftime, limiting the slender forward to four points.

While Barrett had a good night shooting the basketball, he has yet to beat the Knicks since being traded to Toronto. While he’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, the lackluster production outside of points and rebounds is why Barrett is a better option in points leagues than category leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 19, starting with the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Hardy has appeared in seven games since being traded from Dallas at the deadline, and he has scored in double figures in each of them, though this was his highest-scoring outing.

24 hours after he scored 21 points against the Rockets, Cooper was able to have another solid outing, though he wasn’t able to match his 8-of-10 shooting from that game. Still, Cooper has been a consistent part of the rotation for the past month and should continue to play a role off the bench for the rest of the season, which could lead to some starts in April. He won’t retain value next season, but he should be a solid option during silly season.

This was only the fourth start of Riley’s young career, but it was another productive outing for him. It was a nice response after he was held to just seven points in Monday’s loss to the Rockets.

Having totaled 22 points in his prior four appearances, Cooper recorded his first 20-point game as an NBA player on Monday. The guard was highly efficient, shooting 80 percent from the field and committing no turnovers. Cooper has not been productive enough to merit fantasy consideration, and things will get more challenging with Trae Young expected to make his Wizards’ debut on Thursday. Young will be limited to 17-20 minutes, but one would assume that most of the remaining minutes will go to Bub Carrington (11/5/4/2 with two three-pointers in 28 minutes).

While Coulibaly has reached double figures in seven of his last eight appearances, Monday’s defeat was one of his most productive performances of the season.

The Wizards won’t have Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr, Tristan Vukčević or Anthony Gill for Monday’s game due to injury, leaving the team light on frontcourt options. As a result, Reese, who signed a two-way contract over the weekend, will be a starter in his first NBA game.

Acquired from the Hawks in early January, Young has been rehabbing knee and quad injuries that he suffered early in the season. While his return to action would push Bub Carrington to the bench, Young will be limited to 17-20 minutes on Thursday.

After coming off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, Poeltl was back in the starting lineup on Saturday due to Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) not being available. And he recorded his first double-double since November 11 and the third of the season. Poeltl is still rostered in 78 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t a lot of managers who gave up on him.

Since the All-Star break, Barrett has shot 39.1 percent from the field, so a night like Saturday was needed. The Raptors’ wing had an efficient night on offense, making over 50 percent of his attempts and recording just one turnover in 33 minutes.
