Invisible during Saturday's win Tucker finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Saturday's 133-129 win over the Spurs.

Impact Tucker offered very little in the win, barely bothering the scorers in just 19 minutes. After a brief period in which he somehow managed to put up 12-team value, things have certainly plateaued of late. Over the past month, he is well outside the standard league conversation, and based on his track record, there is very little reason to think anything changes moving forward.

Poor production Saturday Tucker registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Saturday's 104-86 win over the Hornets.

Impact Tucker was a late inclusion Saturday, slotting into the starting lineup against the Hornets. Unfortunately, he was not able to put up anything close to fantasy value, something that comes as a bit of a surprise given his production of late. Somehow, Tucker has been able to carve out a role worthy of a 12-team roster spot, albeit a backend one. Looking ahead, it feels unlikely he can sustain said value, and to be honest, his upside is not really high enough to warrant holding in competitive leagues.
