Logs season-high 30 minutes Jeffries chipped in 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 108-98 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Jeffries made the most of a favorable situation, logging a season-high in minutes. Despite playing well off the bench, Jeffries has suited up on just four occasions this season, typically as a result of others falling foul of the injury bug. At this point, there is no reason to think Jeffries will feature as an every-night part of the rotation.

Grabs seven boards in loss Diabate produced seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 18 minutes during Friday's 108-98 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Diabate saw additional playing time with Mark Williams resting on the second night of a back-to-back. After proving his worth as an elite offensive rebounder earlier in the season, Diabate's opportunities are now likely to be few and far between given both Williams and Nick Richards are healthy.

Drops 20 points in spot start Micic recorded 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and four assists over 33 minutes during Friday's 108-98 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Micic filled in admirably, scoring a team-high 20 points in the absence of LaMelo Ball who was resting as part of his injury management plan. After playing a meaningful role during the time Ball was sidelined, Micic is now likely to feature prominently only when the star point guard is resting or succumbs to another injury.

Struggles from deep Bridges ended Thursday's 123-114 loss to the Wizards with 16 points (7-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes.

Impact Bridges played in this third straight game Thursday after missing an extended period due to a knee injury. The 26-year-old forward has had his playing time increase in each of his last three outings, indicating that he is working his way back toward a full workload. While Bridges is unlikely to match his season average of 37.4 minutes per contest from 2023-24, fantasy managers can expect him to play at least 30 minutes a night moving forward.

Quality outing in loss Williams amassed 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 loss to Washington.

Impact Williams made his third straight start Thursday and appears to be finding his rhythm. Even in fewer than 20 minutes of action, the 22-year-old center was just two boards shy of a double-double. While Williams will likely continue to split minutes with Nick Richards, fantasy owners can expect Williams to maintain his 64.1 field-goal percentage.

Impact While Ball's counting stats were eye-popping, his efficiency was poor in Thursday's loss. Over his last 10 outings, Ball is averaging 31.4 points, 8.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 34.0 minutes. However, over that span, he is shooting just 40.2 percent from the field and 31.8 percent on 13.2 three-point attempts per contest.
