Joseph Pinion - Saw playing time TuesdayPinion ended Tuesday's 97-65 win over Georgia with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) in four minutes.
ImpactThe freshman saw six minutes of playing time in Tuesday's monster win over Georgia and he didn't disappoint. The guard shot a perfect 2-2 from the field, both shots being from beyond the three-point line. Pinsion is shooting 46.5 percent from the field and will continue to have a minor bench role for the Razorbacks moving forward.

Anthony Black - Eight dimes against UGABlack closed with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 97-65 win over Georgia.
ImpactWith freshman sensation Nick Smith back in the fold and occupying a starting backcourt spot, Black has taken on more of a distributing role, averaging 6.0 apg over his last four (while scoring nine-plus points still in each of those efforts). Even with his shot volume potentially decreasing, Black remains one of the most steady fantasy options the Razorbacks have to offer.

Kario Oquendo - Puts up 20 against RazorbacksOquendo ended Tuesday's 97-65 loss to Arkansas with 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes.
ImpactOquendo's game log has been up-and-down this season, but when he gets consistent minutes, he's more than capable of providing a scoring boost. He's now recorded 20-plus points in two of his last four games, and on the season, the junior the Bulldogs' second-leading scorer at 12.9 ppg. Few players are reliable on a poor Georgia team that runs a very deep rotation, but Oquendo is one of the better options to consider on any given night.

Nick Smith - New season highSmith totaled 26 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 97-65 win over Georgia.
ImpactIt was the second consecutive start for Smith, a five-star freshman with NBA aspirations who is finally starting to get healthy for the Razorbacks. He enjoyed an excellent matchup against a Georgia team that doesn't offer much defensively, but still saw significant minutes despite the blowout. Smith has now attempted 26 combined field goals over the last two games -- usage that suggests him remaining a major fantasy factor down the stretch for any fantasy managers that held on to him through the injury storm. Look for his price to rise significantly in daily formats as well.

Terry Roberts - Displays ugly showing as a starterRoberts recorded four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 97-65 loss to Arkansas.
ImpactAfter having started in all 21 games made available for to open the campaign, Roberts came off the bench across the Bulldogs' previous three matchups while he recovered from a concussion. The senior guard finally re-entered Georgia's starting five Tuesday night against the Razorbacks, though, he posted a season-low four points on a rough 22 percent shooting clip. Given that Roberts is currently averaging 13.8 points, four rebounds and 3.8 assists per outing this season, look for the 180-pounder to pick things up sooner rather than later.
