Yves Missi scored 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-4 FT) to go along with eight rebounds in the Pelicans 128-100 loss against the Cavaliers.

Jonathan Kuminga scored 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3P, 3-4 FT) with six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block in the Warriors' 120-97 blowout win over the Hawks on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Kuminga only played 15 minutes of game time in the win, hampering any ceiling potential he could have had. He's been fine on the season but has been on the lower end of starter territory for fantasy lineups thanks to a somewhat inconsistent role.


Andrew Wiggins scored 27 points (12-17 FG, 3-6 3P) with seven rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in the Warriors' 120-97 win over the Hawks on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Wiggins led the team in scoring in the victory. He's a solid play most nights for fantasy lineups.


Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT) with 11 rebounds, four assists, and a block in the Warriors' 120-97 win over the Hawks on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson-Davis put up his first double-double of the season in the win. He's been a good player for the Warriors in his limited playing time, but it's hard to trust him because of it.
