Bridges got off to a slow start on Wednesday, as did many of his teammates outside Karl-Anthony Towns. He shot 1-of-6 from the field in the first half, but fantasy managers received some value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Bridges has been a sixth-round player in eight-cat formats. While Wednesday’s effort was underwhelming, his value has increased since a sprained ankle sidelined Jalen Brunson.

This was Monk’s third game back from a three-game absence, and he remained in a reserve role for a third-straight game after being a consistent starter since December. He has really struggled since returning from an illness, and that continued in this game. He was able to somewhat make up for a terrible shooting performance with some rebound and assist production, but overall, it was another poor night as a reserve. Keon Ellis continues to start, and there is no reason to think that Monk will reclaim his starting role if he continues to play like this.

Yikes. March has been an excellent month for the rookie, but Sarr really struggled in his final game of the month. Field goal percentage hasn’t been a strong category for Sarr, but this performance was one of his worst and can only be rivaled by his 1-of-12 night in January. The rookie has shown plenty of upside in multiple categories, and he was still able to provide some defensive stats in this game. Still, the 19-year-old still has plenty of work to do before he becomes a fantasy star.

Miami has won five games in a row, all by at least 10 points. Adebayo’s production has been limited at times by lopsided scores, but he was able to have a big night on Monday. He has made up for a slow start to the season with an excellent stretch in March, where he has provided third-round value with averages of 20.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 three-pointers per game. They still have three more games this week, with a matchup in Boston on Wednesday up next.

Filipowski got another start with Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen out against the Hornets Monday. The 21-year-old power forward was hardly efficient on offense with 14 points on 16 shots including going 2-of-8 from behind the three-point line. Filipowski pulled down 13 rebounds to earn a double-double. He should continue to hold value in deeper formats as long as he’s in the starting lineup.

Sensabaugh got the start Monday with Collin Sexton and Cody Williams out. The 21-year-old small forward played just 26 minutes, but was efficient with 19 points on 11 shots including a 5-of-10 performance from behind the three-point line. Sensabaugh also dished out five assists and had three steals on the defensive end. With Jordan Clarkson out for the rest of the season, Sensabaugh should see a decent amount of minutes over the rest of the season whether he’s starting or not.
