Darius Garland - Leads team in multiple categoriesGarland dropped 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 137-115 win over the Hawks.
ImpactThe newly minted All-Star paced his team as a scorer and playmaker in the blowout victory. He also joined Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill with the most steals, rounding out what was a solid all-around effort. Garland has been good all year, but really started to gain steam in January, averaging 24.8 points, 7.0 assists and 3.0 threes while shooting 51.7 percent from the field and 41.6 percent from behind the arc over the course of the month. He'll look to carry his good form over to February, as he kicks off the month Sunday against the Mavericks.

Jaylon Tyson - Solid outing off benchTyson scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), grabbed five rebounds and blocked one shot in 17 minutes during Thursday's 137-115 win over the Hawks.
ImpactThe rookie forward put together the second-best scoring game of his young career in the blowout victory and recorded just his second block while he was at it. He also contributed on the glass, and his efficiency was a plus for fantasy purposes as well. However, the bulk of his production came in the fourth quarter with the game already put away, so he likely can't be relied on for volume like this on a regular basis. Nonetheless, he'll look to build off this outing Sunday against the Mavericks.

Ty Jerome - Stays hot in winJerome dropped 20 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 137-115 win over the Hawks.
ImpactJerome once again paced the second unit as both a scorer and playmaker with his second straight game logging 20 points and six or more assists. He's been particularly impressive of late, now averaging 18.8 points and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 59.7 percent from the field over his last five outings. Although he's certainly benefitting from Caris LeVert's (wrist) injury, it's possible that Jerome has done enough over the past week to command a larger role in head coach Kenny Atkinson's offense even once LeVert, who's currently listed as day-to-day, returns.

Trae Young - Shooting struggles continue in lossYoung put up 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 assists, one rebound and one steal during 32 minutes in Thursday's 137-115 loss to the Cavaliers.
ImpactYoung is now tied for eighth in the league with 28 double-doubles on the season, and is the only guard in the top ten. Despite impressing as a playmaker, he posted dreadful shooting numbers in the loss, and is now managing to average just 40.0 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from behind the arc this season. He's been particularly bad from downtown of late, shooting 24 percent from deep in his last five games. Luckily for his fantasy managers, he continues to make up for his lack of efficiency with plenty of volume. He'll look to get back on track Saturday against the Pacers.
