Collects season-high nine rebounds

Brown established a season high in boards, making a big impact defensively. The 2018 second-rounder is capable of chipping in across the board, and the absence of Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and exit of Peyton Watson (side) on Monday leaves the door open for enhanced streaming appeal. Brown has averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.1 minutes per contest in his last 12 games.

Plays season-high 40 minutes

Hardaway started the second half for the injured Peyton Watson (side), logging a season high in minutes. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) already sidelined, Watson's potential absence in the future could open a path to big minutes for Hardaway. He's quietly reached double digits in scoring in nine consecutive outings, during which Hardaway has averaged 14.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.

Continues playing heavy minutes

Johnson has performed better over the past month, though his lack of contributions in other areas of the box remains frustrating for fantasy managers. The sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per contest his last 13 outings, shooting 47.9 percent from deep.
