Dishes six dimes in defeat
Forrest got a little more run than usual due to the lopsided nature of the score, as his 22 minutes were his most of the campaign. The fourth-year guard wasn't aggressive as a shooter but did manage to finish second on the team with six assists. Forrest's opportunities have increased a bit since Trae Young went down with a finger injury in late February, but the former's production hasn't come closer to warranting fantasy attention.

Posts quiet double-double Monday
Murray managed his second straight double-double in defeat, but he struggled to put the ball in the hoop, especially from deep. The point guard's 13 points were his fewest since Feb. 14, and his performance Monday snapped a five-game streak of draining at least four triples. Murray was due for an off day after posting sizzling averages of 25.9 points, 8.3 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.2 three-pointers over 12 games following the All-Star break prior to Monday.

Logs 19 minutes in return
Okongwu had missed 13 straight contests due to a toe injury before suiting up against the Lakers on Monday. The fourth-year center was unsurprisingly limited to under 20 minutes in his return, but he still put up decent production and went 5-for-5 from two-point range. Okongwu's output is somewhat hampered by his role as Clint Capela's backup, though he still deserves a roster spot in most fantasy leagues. His appeal would grow dramatically if he were to move into the starting unit at any point, as evidenced by his averages of 16.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks while making five straight starts prior to the injury absence.
