B. Mathurin - SG

IND

Bennedict Mathurin recorded a line of 18 points (7-of-10 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in Monday's 115-109 loss to the Hornets, playing 30 minutes.

Mathurin was back in action after missing four games with a sprained ankle, and the rookie played 30 minutes without any flare-ups. What's also notable about his return was the fact that Mathurin started, with Jordan Nwora (7/6/2/0/1 with two 3-pointers in 21 minutes) moving to the bench. Mathurin's rostered in 53% of Yahoo leagues, but the combination of his play on Monday and the Pacers having three more games in Week 22 should boost that percentage.

M. Turner - C

IND

Myles Turner finished Monday's 115-109 loss to the Hornets with 20 points (5-of-10 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, and five assists in 28 minutes.

Turner was at his best in the first quarter, scoring 15 points. Once the Hornets did a better job of defending him without fouling, however, Turner was relatively quiet on the offensive end of the floor. He's now scored 20 points or more in three of his last four appearances, and he's been a top 50 player in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. Turner's minutes have decreased, however, with the Pacers taking a longer look at Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson. Smith (10/6/1/0/1) and Jackson (12/10/0/1/3) played 20 minutes apiece on Monday, and their workloads would likely increase if the Pacers were to fall out of contention for a play-in tournament spot.

D. Melton - PG

PHI

Deâ??Anthony Melton provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (7-for-15 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, four steals, one block and five triples against the Bulls on Monday.

After shining in a spot start on Saturday, Melton returned to his role off the bench with James Harden back in the lineup. Despite that, Melton still provided a much-needed boost off the bench in this game. Doc Rivers has turned to him to play more minutes with P.J. Tucker sidelined, which has allowed him to provide big numbers over their last two games. The 76ers play three more games this week, and if Tucker remains sidelined, Melton should continue to put up big numbers, even if he's coming off the bench.

J. Randle - PF

NYK

Julius Randle went off in Monday's 140-134 loss to the Timberwolves, scoring 57 points (19-of-29 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs) with four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and eight 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

As good as Randle was in the first half, scoring 26 points, he was even better in the third quarter. Randle scored 26 points in that period alone, with his outburst pulling the Knicks to within one at the end of the frame. Randle ultimately finished five points shy of Carmelo Anthony's Madison Square Garden record (for a Knick), but he did notch his first career 50-point game. The Knicks will finish their week early in comparison to most of the league, wrapping things up with a Wednesday/Thursday road back-to-back against the Heat and Magic.

J. Harden - SG

PHI

James Harden struggled with his shot on Monday but still finished with five points (2-for-14 FGs), seven rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, one block and five turnovers against the Bulls.

After missing Saturdayâ??s game, Harden was back in the lineup on Saturday. He didnâ??t shoot well from the floor, but he was still able to provide value across the board. However, the poor shooting was bad enough that he had one of the worst scoring games of his career. He was still able to dish out plenty of assists, and he has at least 10 assists in four straight games and in seven of his last eight. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to provide the scoring boost that they needed him to after Joel Embiid fouled out, which prevented them from extending their winning streak.

J. Embiid - C

PHI

Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 37 points (11-for-22 FGs, 15-for-17 FTs), 16 rebounds, one assist, one steal, three blocks and five turnovers before fouling out in a 109-105 loss to Chicago on Monday.

A low-scoring game didnâ??t stop Embiid from providing a dominant line for fantasy managers. He scored at least 30 points for the 10th straight game and had a monster line before fouling out during the second overtime. Embiid has been the best player in fantasy basketball this season, and he continues to put up incredible numbers each and every night. Unfortunately, it wasnâ??t enough to extend their winning streak, but he provided more than enough production for fantasy managers that need him to put up big numbers in the playoffs.

N. Vucevic - C

CHI

Nikola Vucevic provided a solid line on Monday with 21 points (8-for-12 FGs), 12 rebounds, two assists, four steals and a triple against the 76ers.

Vucevic recorded a double-double for the sixth straight game, which helped Chicago win their third straight game and the fifth in their last six. Even with the Bulls having an up and down season, Vucevic has consistently been one of the most productive players in fantasy basketball this season. Chicago still plays three more games this week, which will give him plenty of chances to provide dominant value.

T. Prince - PF

MIN

Taurean Prince shot 12-of-13 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Monday's 140-134 win over the Knicks, scoring a season-high 35 points with five rebounds, two assists, and eight 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

Making his second consecutive start for the injured Anthony Edwards (ankle), Prince became the latest visitor to make Madison Square Garden his personal playground. Shooting 7-of-8 from the field, which included five 3-pointers without a miss, he scored 20 points in the first half. And his layup with 10.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter proved to be the dagger, with Minnesota picking up a crucial win away from home. Not only were the 35 points a season-high for Prince, but this is also the first time he's scored more than 20 in a game this season. Minnesota plays two more games in Week 22, and Prince certainly salvaged his streaming value with his performance Monday night.
