Matisse Thybulle - Supplies four steals TuesdayThybulle provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four steals, one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes in Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards.
ImpactPredictably, Thybulle's output on the offensive end took a step back in the second leg of the back-to-back set after he erupted for 14 points on 4-for-6 shooting from three-point range in his Trail Blazers debut Monday against the Lakers. Fantasy managers should take whatever they get from Thybulle in the scoring column as a bonus moving forward, but as long as he can hold down a 25-plus-minute role, he'll have some appeal as a specialist in the two defensive categories. On a per-36-minute basis, Thybulle has averaged 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks for his career.

Delon Wright - Re-emerges on defensive endWright tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six assists, four steals and two rebounds across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 126-101 win over the Trail Blazers.
ImpactWright's playing time had generally been trending down for the past four games, but even with Washington returning to full strength Tuesday with Kyle Kuzma (ankle) back in the fold, the reserve guard saw his minutes tick upward. As usual, Wright made his biggest impact on the defensive end, with the four steals matching a season high. Wright's minutes could remain fairly volatile from game to game depending on how starting point guard Monte Morris and the Wizards' wings are performing, but even if Wright doesn't get enough playing time to keep himself on the radar as a roster-worthy player in 12-team category leagues, he'll at least remain a strong streaming option for steals.

Drew Eubanks - Swats four shots TuesdayEubanks finished Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
ImpactAs has been the case throughout his seven-game run as the Trail Blazers' starting center, Eubanks remained uninvolved on the offensive end, but he came through with a strong showing in two categories. For as long as Jusuf Nurkic (calf) remains sidelined, Eubanks should represent an excellent streaming option for rebounds and blocks, though his lack of contributions in other areas renders him more of a low-end option in 12-team category leagues.
