Chris Paul - Another double-double Tuesday Paul produced 16 points (7-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the 76ers.
Impact Paul has recorded 10 double-doubles over his last 12 contests. During that stretch, the All-Star point guard has averaged 19.1 points, 12.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 37.4 minutes per game. Paul will look to maintain his strong play Thursday against the Bucks.

Mikal Bridges - Efficient performance in win Bridges accumulated 23 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 41 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 victory over the 76ers.
Impact Bridges was efficient from the field en route to his ninth 20-plus point outing of the season. Over his last seven games, the fourth-year wing has averaged 20.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 37.7 minutes. He'll look to continue his solid play against the Bucks on Thursday.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
JaVale McGee - Double-doubles off bench McGee registered 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the 76ers.
Impact McGee notched his eighth double-double of the campaign and his fourth as a reserve. Over his last four games, the veteran center has averaged 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in just 17.5 minutes per game. This level of production is likely unsustainable in the long run, but he's certainly worthy of fantasy consideration, especially if Deandre Ayton is forced to miss any time.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae Crowder - Grabs team-high 14 boards Crowder produced zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Crowder was held scoreless for the first time during the campaign, but he salvaged his fantasy production by snatching a season-high 14 rebounds. He also made his presence felt defensively, notching at least one steal and one block in the same game for the 13th time this season. Over his last five games, the veteran forward has averaged 6.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.6 minutes.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Another 30-plus point outing Booker produced 35 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 victory over Philadelphia.
Impact After an 11-point performance during Friday's win over the Wizards, Booker has bounced back with consecutive 35-plus point outings. Over his last four games, the All-Star guard has averaged 30.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 36.8 minutes. He'll look to stay hot Thursday, when the Bucks come to town for a rematch of last year's NBA Finals.

Cameron Payne - Remains out Tuesday Payne (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers.
Impact Payne picked up a wrist injury at the end of January that was expected to sideline him for at least two weeks. However, Monday marked the end of the two weeks, but there still isn't an update on his status. He's slated to miss his ninth straight game Wednesday and could miss all three games this week. In his extended absence, Elfrid Payton and Landry Shamet should continue to see increased roles.

Bismack Biyombo - Slides out of rotation Biyombo played one minute and 12 seconds in Monday's 127-124 win over the Bulls, missing his only field-goal attempt and recording no other statistics.
Impact Though the Bulls were able to make the final score respectable thanks to a rally late in the fourth quarter, Biyombo was still able to pick up what amounted to garbage-time run while the Suns were resting key rotation pieces. After Biyombo put himself on the fantasy radar with averages of 14.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in 27.7 minutes per game over the Suns' final seven contests of January, any value he held has disappeared entirely since Deandre Ayton overcome an ankle injury. With Ayton starting in each of the team's first four games of February, JaVale McGee has settled in as the clear top backup at center, while Biyombo has played just 17 minutes in total during that same four-game stretch.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mikal Bridges - Fills out stat sheet in win Bridges finished with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes Monday in the Suns' 127-124 win over the Bulls.
Impact Bridges' scoring has tailed off a bit after he recently cleared the 20-point mark in three straight contests, but the fourth-year wing has continued to produce across the stat sheet over the past two contests while shooting efficiently from the field. Even if Bridges' points production more consistently sits in the low-to-mid teens in the games to come, he'll remain a must-start option in the majority of leagues if he keeps filling out the box score similarly to how he did Monday.
