Diabate is third in the pecking order at center behind Ivica Zubac and Daniel Theis when healthy. His continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball.

Powell matched his season average on Monday with 23 points, putting up that number on nearly 67% shooting from the field. Limited production in categories outside of points and 3-pointers is what fantasy managers feared at draft time, but this hasn’t been the norm for Powell this season. He’s ranked just outside the top 50 in season-long value, significantly exceeding his Yahoo ADP (130).

Fox wasn’t able to maintain his historic scoring pace, but he did have another good game in this one. He has now scored 137 points over the last four days, which has helped fantasy managers out tremendously. They now have three days off before their next game, and there is a chance that Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk are all back in the lineup for that one. If that’s the case, Fox will continue to be excellent in fantasy, but the monster scoring nights like he has had recently will likely be over.

With DeMar DeRozan sidelined once again, Lyles got another start in this game. DeRozan is inching closer to a return, and with their next game coming on Friday, it could be for that game. However, if he misses another game, Lyles should be worth streaming. He is averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 4.0 threes during his two starts this season and is available in 95 % of leagues. Since they don’t play until Friday, just keep an eye on him at this point.
