V. Oladipo - SG

HOU

Victor Oladipo was back in the starting lineup on Tuesday but struggled, going 7-of-21 from the floor with 20 points, five rebounds and one assist.

Oladipo missed 14 shots vs the Wizards and went just 3-of-10 from deep. He also failed to record any defensive stats which isn't like him. More importantly, he's struggled to make shots in his last three games in which he's a combined 18-of-59 on field goals and 5-of-21 from deep. It might be time for him to stop sitting games in back-to-back scenarios in order to establish some rhythm and consistent play if the Rockets want to keep up in the West.

I. Quickley - PG

NYK

Immanuel Quickley shot 1-of-11 from the field in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz, finishing the game with six points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes.

Quickley had arguably his worst game as a pro Tuesday night, two days after he surpassed the 30-point mark for the first time. But it’s worth noting that starter Elfrid Payton also struggled, as he shot 2-of-7 from the field and accounted for four points, two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes. Payton remains Tom Thibodeau’s preferred choice at the point, due in large part to his experience. Until the head coach's line of thinking changes, Quickley will remain in the backup role.

J. Randle - PF

NYK

Julius Randle finished Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz with 18 points (6-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

Another game, another double-double for Randle, who has put up five in his last six games and 13 this season (ten in January). The coaching change has worked wonders for Randle when it comes to his fantasy value, as he is a top-50 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats. His Yahoo 9-cat ADP was 82, so it’s safe to say that Julius is exceeding expectations.

R. Barrett - SG

NYK

RJ Barrett shot 7-of-11 from the field in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz, tallying 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

Barrett was perfect from three Tuesday night, and after a slow start to the season he has played better recently. Over the last two weeks, he has provided top-100 value in both 8- and 9-cat formats. Barrett is clearly one of the players that Tom Thibodeau trusts, as evidenced by his high minutes count, so as long as he produces in an efficient manner his fantasy value should continue to improve.

A. Rivers - SG

NYK

Austin Rivers finished Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz with 25 points (10-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and five 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

Rivers had it rolling during the first half, making all 10 of his field goal attempts. But Utah managed to shut him down after halftime, with Rivers going 0-of-4 from the field. Rivers fell one shot shy of the Knicks’ franchise record for most made field goals without a miss. Ranked well outside of the top-200 in 9-cat formats, Rivers is rostered in just 5% of Yahoo leagues. Even with the lack of consistent production from Knicks guards not named RJ Barrett, there’s no need to grab Rivers off of the waiver wire.

J. Wall - PG

HOU

John Wall posted 24 points, two rebounds, five assists and a steal in the Rockets 107-88 win over the Wizards on Tuesday night.

Early on Tuesday morning, Wall said, "This is my opportunity to show them (Wizards) that I'm not done" and he backed it up with his fourth 20-point game of the season and more importantly, a win. He knocked down 9-of-21 field goals and 5-of-6 free throws in 24 minutes. His 24 points were a team-high and he had a smooth behind-the-back move plus the finish (link below) in the second quarter. When he's been on the court, he's given us glimpses of pre-injury John Wall and we're hoping that continues.

D. Cousins - C

HOU

DeMarcus Cousins had a season-high five steals on Tuesday in addition to 19 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and a block.

Boogie recorded his second straight double-double with Christian Wood (ankle) out yet again. He hit 6-of-11 field goals and made four 3-pointers for the second consecutive game, too, and has been playing like the former All-Star we've been accustomed to seeing over the years. He should be rostered in all formats if Wood continues to miss games.

R. Neto - PG

WAS

Raul Neto returned from a one-game absence and tallied eight points, five boards, one assist, three steals and a block on Tuesday.

Neto was back on the court after missing a game with a groin injury but hit just 3-of-10 shots and a pair of 3-pointers in 22 minutes. He can remain on waivers now that Russell Westbrook is back, too.
