We know Bona will be relevant whenever Joel Embiid misses time, but it seems that the strong play from Quentin Grimes has really capped McCain\u2019s value right now. Kelly Oubre Jr. could also return next week, so we&#8217;ll need to keep an eye on how that changes the dynamic in Philly.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix Suns<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>Devin Booker<\/p>\n<p>34.1<\/p>\n<p>33.2<\/p>\n<p>33<\/p>\n<p>Dillon Brooks<\/p>\n<p>33.4<\/p>\n<p>31.4<\/p>\n<p>30.3<\/p>\n<p>Royce O&#8217;Neale<\/p>\n<p>30.9<\/p>\n<p>28.2<\/p>\n<p>28.5<\/p>\n<p>Collin Gillespie<\/p>\n<p>29.1<\/p>\n<p>30.1<\/p>\n<p>31.4<\/p>\n<p>Oso Ighodaro<\/p>\n<p>26.4<\/p>\n<p>24.1<\/p>\n<p>23.3<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Goodwin<\/p>\n<p>24.4<\/p>\n<p>22.9<\/p>\n<p>23.3<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Dunn<\/p>\n<p>19.4<\/p>\n<p>23<\/p>\n<p>20.5<\/p>\n<p>Mark Williams<\/p>\n<p>17.2<\/p>\n<p>20.7<\/p>\n<p>21.8<\/p>\n<p>Grayson Allen remains out with a knee injury, so Collin Gillespie has remained incredibly valuable to the Suns. With Jalen Green expected back in the second week of January, it will be interesting to see what that does to Gillespie\u2019s role, but he has been a top-40 player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks, so he needs to be relied on until the Suns show us otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Portland Trail Blazers<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>Deni Avdija<\/p>\n<p>36.6<\/p>\n<p>37.1<\/p>\n<p>37.1<\/p>\n<p>Toumani Camara<\/p>\n<p>31.3<\/p>\n<p>34.6<\/p>\n<p>32.7<\/p>\n<p>Shaedon Sharpe<\/p>\n<p>31.1<\/p>\n<p>30.4<\/p>\n<p>31.6<\/p>\n<p>Caleb Love<\/p>\n<p>31.1<\/p>\n<p>30.4<\/p>\n<p>22.2<\/p>\n<p>Kris Murray<\/p>\n<p>28.1<\/p>\n<p>28.5<\/p>\n<p>27.9<\/p>\n<p>Donovan Clingan<\/p>\n<p>26.6<\/p>\n<p>27.7<\/p>\n<p>28.8<\/p>\n<p>Sidy Cissoko<\/p>\n<p>23.8<\/p>\n<p>20.6<\/p>\n<p>24.2<\/p>\n<p>Robert Williams III<\/p>\n<p>18<\/p>\n<p>18.5<\/p>\n<p>17.8<\/p>\n<p>Jerami Grant<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>35.2<\/p>\n<p>I admit that I thought this team would be better. Yes, Jrue Holiday is still out, and Jerami Grant has missed the last seven games with an Achilles injury, but the younger players haven\u2019t taken the leap I thought they would. Scoot Henderson and Holiday are both doing on-court basketball activities, so it\u2019s possible that both could be on the court within the next two weeks. That would take away almost all of the playing time for Caleb Love, and Grant\u2019s return would move Kris Murray back into a smaller role.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento Kings<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>Maxime Raynaud<\/p>\n<p>32.2<\/p>\n<p>31.3<\/p>\n<p>31<\/p>\n<p>DeMar DeRozan<\/p>\n<p>29.7<\/p>\n<p>34.2<\/p>\n<p>33.7<\/p>\n<p>Keegan Murray<\/p>\n<p>29.6<\/p>\n<p>32.3<\/p>\n<p>35.4<\/p>\n<p>Nique Clifford<\/p>\n<p>26<\/p>\n<p>26<\/p>\n<p>23.5<\/p>\n<p>Keon Ellis<\/p>\n<p>24.7<\/p>\n<p>17.4<\/p>\n<p>19.6<\/p>\n<p>Russell Westbrook<\/p>\n<p>24.4<\/p>\n<p>28.2<\/p>\n<p>30.2<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Cardwell<\/p>\n<p>22.3<\/p>\n<p>23<\/p>\n<p>21.5<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Schr\u00f6der<\/p>\n<p>21.5<\/p>\n<p>23.4<\/p>\n<p>24.4<\/p>\n<p>Precious Achiuwa<\/p>\n<p>20.7<\/p>\n<p>21.4<\/p>\n<p>18.8<\/p>\n<p>I never thought we\u2019d see Maxime Raynaud lead the Kings in minutes this season, but here we are. With Zach LaVine (ankle) banged up and Russell Westbrook having his minutes dialed back from early-season highs, we also got to see Keon Ellis play more minutes and rookie Nique Clifford get more run. Frankly, that should have been the case all along, but I\u2019m hesitant to believe the Kings keep this up when they\u2019re healthy.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio Spurs<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>De&#8217;Aaron Fox<\/p>\n<p>35<\/p>\n<p>34.1<\/p>\n<p>31.6<\/p>\n<p>Devin Vassell<\/p>\n<p>32.4<\/p>\n<p>31.6<\/p>\n<p>30.4<\/p>\n<p>Stephon Castle<\/p>\n<p>31.5<\/p>\n<p>30.8<\/p>\n<p>29.5<\/p>\n<p>Julian Champagnie<\/p>\n<p>28.7<\/p>\n<p>25.7<\/p>\n<p>24.6<\/p>\n<p>Victor Wembanyama<\/p>\n<p>26.2<\/p>\n<p>25.5<\/p>\n<p>23.2<\/p>\n<p>Harrison Barnes<\/p>\n<p>25.2<\/p>\n<p>26.3<\/p>\n<p>25.7<\/p>\n<p>Keldon Johnson<\/p>\n<p>24.5<\/p>\n<p>22.6<\/p>\n<p>21<\/p>\n<p>Luke Kornet<\/p>\n<p>22.1<\/p>\n<p>22.7<\/p>\n<p>24<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Harper<\/p>\n<p>20.1<\/p>\n<p>20.2<\/p>\n<p>20.5<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs seemed to survive a big-time scare when Victor Wembanyama went down with a knee injury in the New Year\u2019s Eve game against the Knicks. Sadly, given his frame, I\u2019m not sure we\u2019ll ever really see him consistently play 70+ minutes a game. The Spurs also lost Devin Vassell to an oblique injury, but it is reportedly expected to only last a couple of games. Dylan Harper should get more run as long as Vassell is out.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>Scottie Barnes<\/p>\n<p>37.5<\/p>\n<p>35.5<\/p>\n<p>35<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Ingram<\/p>\n<p>36.6<\/p>\n<p>34.5<\/p>\n<p>35.3<\/p>\n<p>Immanuel Quickley<\/p>\n<p>32.3<\/p>\n<p>33<\/p>\n<p>32.4<\/p>\n<p>Ja&#8217;Kobe Walter<\/p>\n<p>26.7<\/p>\n<p>23.6<\/p>\n<p>20.6<\/p>\n<p>Jamal Shead<\/p>\n<p>26.3<\/p>\n<p>23.4<\/p>\n<p>24.2<\/p>\n<p>Collin Murray-Boyles<\/p>\n<p>25.5<\/p>\n<p>25.2<\/p>\n<p>21.3<\/p>\n<p>RJ Barrett<\/p>\n<p>24.1<\/p>\n<p>24.1<\/p>\n<p>24.1<\/p>\n<p>Sandro Mamukelashvili<\/p>\n<p>19.1<\/p>\n<p>23.5<\/p>\n<p>23.7<\/p>\n<p>RJ Barrett returned this week, and Scottie Barnes had a record-breaking game mixed in. <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/watch\/nba\/scottie-barnes-records-historic-triple-double-in-overtime-win-vs-warriors\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:I covered it all in a video this week.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">I covered it all in a video this week.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Utah Jazz<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>Lauri Markkanen<\/p>\n<p>37<\/p>\n<p>36.8<\/p>\n<p>37.1<\/p>\n<p>Keyonte George<\/p>\n<p>36.2<\/p>\n<p>35.3<\/p>\n<p>36<\/p>\n<p>Brice Sensabaugh<\/p>\n<p>35.3<\/p>\n<p>28.7<\/p>\n<p>23.1<\/p>\n<p>Jusuf Nurki\u0107<\/p>\n<p>30.6<\/p>\n<p>31.6<\/p>\n<p>28.3<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah Collier<\/p>\n<p>22.9<\/p>\n<p>23.8<\/p>\n<p>23.6<\/p>\n<p>Svi Mykhailiuk<\/p>\n<p>17.7<\/p>\n<p>18<\/p>\n<p>22.1<\/p>\n<p>Walter Clayton Jr.<\/p>\n<p>17.3<\/p>\n<p>16.7<\/p>\n<p>15.6<\/p>\n<p>Cody Williams<\/p>\n<p>16.4<\/p>\n<p>12.4<\/p>\n<p>13.3<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Love<\/p>\n<p>16.2<\/p>\n<p>22.4<\/p>\n<p>21.6<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Filipowski<\/p>\n<p>15.6<\/p>\n<p>18.8<\/p>\n<p>23.5<\/p>\n<p>The Jazz had been playing too well, so Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, and Jusuf Nurki\u0107 all missed some games this week. With Ace Bailey (hip) out, Brice Sensabaugh has been getting some extra run, and Kyle Anderson returned on Thursday to play 32 minutes and put up a solid line. The Jazz were very depleted in that game, so I wouldn&#8217;t expect that level of production to continue with the team fully healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Washington Wizards<\/p>\n<p>Name<\/p>\n<p>Last 3<\/p>\n<p>Last 5<\/p>\n<p>Last 10<\/p>\n<p>CJ McCollum<\/p>\n<p>31<\/p>\n<p>31.4<\/p>\n<p>33.1<\/p>\n<p>Justin Champagnie<\/p>\n<p>28.2<\/p>\n<p>25.3<\/p>\n<p>24<\/p>\n<p>Bilal Coulibaly<\/p>\n<p>26.8<\/p>\n<p>26<\/p>\n<p>25.4<\/p>\n<p>Alex Sarr<\/p>\n<p>26.5<\/p>\n<p>25.6<\/p>\n<p>25.4<\/p>\n<p>Tre Johnson<\/p>\n<p>26.3<\/p>\n<p>24<\/p>\n<p>22.3<\/p>\n<p>Bub Carrington<\/p>\n<p>25.8<\/p>\n<p>22.9<\/p>\n<p>30<\/p>\n<p>Khris Middleton<\/p>\n<p>22.6<\/p>\n<p>21.6<\/p>\n<p>21.7<\/p>\n<p>Marvin Bagley III<\/p>\n<p>21.2<\/p>\n<p>21.2<\/p>\n<p>23.5<\/p>\n<p>The Bub Carrington mini breakout appears to be over.
