Tristan da Silva - Mediocre despite huge win da Silva posted 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 89-65 victory over Utah.
Impact da Silva's season-long efficiency dropped to a career-low 46.9 percent on 11.5 shots per game this season, but he has posted double-digit scoring in 23 of his 24 appearances this season. da Silva is a skilled hooper who makes winning plays, but he doesn't specialize in any auxiliary categories and his scoring ceiling has been underwhelming thus far -- posting just three games with more than 20 points after logging eight such contests last season.

Hadley is emerging as a pivotal contributor down the stretch, averaging 14.3 points and 6.8 rebounds while shooting 55.4 percent from the field across his last eight games.

Impact da Silva nearly aligned with his season averages of 15.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in Saturday's victory, and he has settled in with averages of 15.3 points and 5.4 rebounds across his past seven games.
