Logs 13 points as bench empties Watson finished with 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, five blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 142-110 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Watson will rarely post numbers this high, but the lopsided total gave him extra time Saturday evening. Aaron Gordon's (foot) injury also allowed for more time on the floor. The 2022 first-round pick has seen a sharp increase in all of his 2023-24 season averages, but the 21-year-old still sits far outside fantasy viability.

Rough night Friday Watson posted zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes during Friday's 111-98 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Watson had no impact in the loss, failing to score in 11 minutes. While he has flashed some upside this season, his role continues to be one of frustration. He is unlikely to have any value for the remainder of the season but should be monitored by anyone playing in a dynasty format as a potential buy-low candidate.

Top scorer off bench in victory Watson totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 victory over Boston.

Impact Watson led all players in Thursday's contest in scoring while recording a team-best pair of blocks in a bench-high-tying minute total. Watson has reached double-figures in scoring on 14 occurrences this season, 13 of which have come off the bench. Wednesday marked the third time he has reached double figures in scoring while also recording two or more blocks.
