Wiggins’ 24 points were a game-high as he led the Warriors to victory without Stephen Curry available. The 29-year-old small forward was probable with hamstring tightness, but continues to play through it. Wiggins has provided top-100 fantasy value this season.

Haliburton filled the stat sheet against the Nets Monday. He was highly efficient with 23 points on 12 shots, made 4-of-7 attempts from behind the 3-point line and made all nine of his attempts from the free throw line. Haliburton’s numbers have waned on the road this year, but he excelled in a great matchup in Brooklyn Monday night.

Barnes typically has massive usage and is know for his ability to fill up the stat sheet. He didn’t have a great game Monday, though, as he had just 21 points on 18 shots, missed all four of his 3-point attempts and turned the ball over five times. The 23-year-old small forward was -24 in 32 minutes as Toronto lost by 24. Barnes will have to pick up his play over the course of the rest of the season to live up to his preseason ADP (19).

Barrett returned after a three-game absence due to an illness. Despite a minutes restriction, he played 32 minutes. His return did help matters much for Toronto as the Raptors were blown out by 24 points. Still, the 24-year-old small forward had a team-high 25 points and nearly had a double-double with nine rebounds. Barrett is still a top-100 fantasy player on the year.

Portis only played 23 minutes in the blowout win, but still got his numbers. He poured in 20 points on 12 shots, making 4-of-6 attempts from behind the 3-point line. The 29-year-old power forward also had seven rebounds and three assists. Portis’ ceiling is capped while he comes off the bench, but he’s still a more than serviceable fantasy option.

Brunson and the Knicks had a rough night on Monday, shooting 4-of-22 from beyond the arc. Brunson may have known something was off early, as he only attempted one 3-pointer. Losers of three straight, the Knicks have looked like a tired bunch, and not having Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on Monday didn’t help. Brunson and the Knicks play three more games in Week 11, beginning with Toronto on Wednesday.

Carter picked a good time to have his best offensive performance, scoring a season-high 19 points. Over the past week, WCJ has provided top-80 value in 9-cat formats. However, while Carter’s production has improved, with the Magic center hitting double figures in four of his last five outings, his role isn’t great concerning providing consistent production. And that’s with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner out of the lineup.

After shooting 14-of-21 from the field and scoring 36 points in his first two games of 2025, Caldwell-Pope struggled in Sunday’s loss to the Jazz, scoring two points on 1-of-8 shooting. He cleaned things up on Monday and has made at least three 3-pointers in three of his last four outings. Over the past two weeks, Caldwell-Pope has provided 8th-round value in 9-cat formats and sits just outside the top 100 in season-long value.
