Drains four threes in win Niang recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and one rebound over 19 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 126-119 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact The veteran forward continues to provide the Sixers with a long-distance threat on the second unit, although he doesn't offer much else from a fantasy perspective. Niang has drained multiple three-pointers in 10 of 13 games in January while shooting 48.4 percent (32-for-66) on his attempts, but on the month, he's averaging just 9.2 points, 2.7 boards and 1.2 assists a game.

Pitches in with Embiid out Niang finished with 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Saturday's 129-127 victory over the Kings.

Impact While Montrezl Harrell drew the start for Joel Embiid (foot), Niang emerged as the next man up, a role that fell to Paul Reed in previous seasons. Niang's contribution has been most noticeable in lop-sided outcomes by the Sixers, but he holds decent fantasy value when Embiid is out. The 29-year-old has posted double-digit scoring outcomes in 19 of 44 games as a backup.

Lands five triples in win Niang supplied 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 120-111 win over New Orleans.

Impact Niang dropped a team-high five triples in the win, the most he has hit in a single game since mid-December. With the team now relatively healthy, Niang's playing time is likely to be sporadic, at best. His on-court value is completely reliant on his ability to hit the long ball, something that has been a bit hit or miss thus far.

Impact Niang returned to action Sunday after missing two games with a foot injury. He didn't factor much into the game as he took just two shot attempts. In the nine games before the injury, he averaged 11.7 points and made 41.1 percent of his three-point tries. He's likely to return to his reserve role and play around 20 minutes a night moving forward.
