On Toppin: With Julius Randle out tonight against the Nets, Obi Toppin (93% available) should be busy again offensively in a game with a point total north of 230. Toppin has scored 20 points in each outing. Alec Burks has also emerged as one of the best rebounding guards in the league, bringing enough scoring and playmaking to the floor to help fantasy managers.

Motown Momentum: Marvin Bagley III and Jerami Grant are ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, which means Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes (57% available) are ready to shine. Saddiq Bey also could deliver in DFS platforms and points props as the primary scoring forward for Detroit, but Hayes is the most intriguing streaming candidate on the roster. He's posted 14.8 points, five dimes, and a whopping 3.3 steals over his past four games.

Hoarding: Oklahoma City has several injuries to key players and is pursuing lottery position. But the Thunder have relied on new names such as Jaylen Hoard (97% available) and Olivier Sarr (98%) to produce as the season nears an end. Hoard produced 24 points and pulled an incredible 21 boards in last night's win, while Sarr logged a double-double in 39 minutes off the bench. Even Isaiah Roby (87%) has become a valuable source of blocks and boards. With the team likely sitting their starters again, this trio shows promise in all fantasy formats.

Red Velvet: Kevin Huerter
