White had been in a bit of a shooting slump, but now has 23 and 15 points in his last two games. He impacts the game in a variety of of ways as he also chipped in with five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in this one. The 30-year-old point guard is having a career-year in many ways and is a top-20 player in fantasy this season.

Vucevic was back in the lineup after missing Friday’s game against the Hornets. He led the Bulls in points and shot attempts against the Raptors. Zach LaVine was out and Josh Giddey exited in the third quarter, which only increased Vucevic’s usage and importance for the Bulls. Vooch continues to have a great season for his fantasy managers.

Butler’s 35 points were a game-high as he played 44 minutes in the overtime loss. If Butler is auditioning for other teams as he’s said to be open to a trade before this year’s deadline, this was about as good as it gets for the 35-year-old small forward. He showed he can still be a top player and will only have more motivation if he’s dealt to a real contender.

Mobley returned to the Cavaliers lineup on Monday after sitting out Friday’s win over the Wizards, pushing Dean Wade (three points, seven rebounds, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 22 minutes) to the bench. The nature of Monday’s game meant there was no moment where Cleveland needed to push Mobley, who did not play at all during the fourth quarter. Cleveland’s final two games of Week 8, Milwaukee on Friday and Philadelphia the following night, should be more challenging.
