Tony Parker

PG, San Antonio Spurs

Manu Ginolbili says Tony Parker is "in a funk" and "not playing confident."

You may have been watching the first two Spurs playoff games and thought where is Tony Parker? The veteran has played just 20 combined minutes over the first two games and scored just 4 total points. The Spurs will need the 35-year-old to be his vintage self if they want to have any chance of making a dent in this series. Ginobili also added that, "the fact that he is playing less minutes is not helping him." So maybe coach Greg Popovich heads Ginobili's words and will give the four-time champion more playing time in Game 3.

Jrue Holiday

PG, New Orleans Pelicans

Jrue Holiday had a strong game in Thursday's 139-132 overtime loss to the Suns, scoring 23 points, accompanied by seven rebounds, six assists, five steals and a blocked shot.

Holiday is locked in as one of the elite fantasy point guards. That will continue to be the case with his diverse skillset. The return of Zion Williamson in the near future could mute some numbers slightly, but the efficiency would theoretically improve in concert with that.

Jaxson Hayes

PF-C, New Orleans Pelicans

Jaxson Hayes scored 17 points and blocked five shots in 33 minutes of action on Thursday night.

The five blocks were huge for this line from Hayes, who is flashing his potential in the absence of Derrick Favors. We'll see how long Favors is away from the team.

Lonzo Ball

PG, New Orleans Pelicans

Lonzo Ball notched a double-double with 20 points, 11 assists, three steals, two blocks and four 3-pointers on Thursday night.

If we turn a blind eye to the seven turnovers, this was a baller line from Ball. It was a great bounceback after some struggles with illness and injury. He even hit all four of his free throws! Ball's upside is immense. If he could just figure out these horrendous percentages, he'll be a lock for top-100 value.

JJ Redick

SG, New Orleans Pelicans

J.J. Redick hit five 3-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Suns, scoring 26 points.

Redick has gunned his way back to the top=100 conversation with a hot shooting and general improvement after a slow start. Redick has value as a 3-point specialist at worst and generally maintains good percentages to maintain standard-league value.

Brandon Ingram

SF, New Orleans Pelicans

Brandon Ingram didn't let a right eye laceration that required stitches stop him from scoring 21 points to go with six rebounds and four assists on Thursday.

Ingram's 20-point game streak was at risk when he left with the injury, but he persevered to finish with an acceptable line. The six turnovers hurt compounded with no defensive stats. Still, Ingram has scored at least 20 points in every game this season (bar one in which he left early after only 13 minutes). He probably won't be a first-round value all year but he's clearly experiencing a true breakout.

Devin Booker

SG, Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker scored 44 points in a near triple-double effort on Thursday, adding eight rebounds, nine assists and five 3-pointers.

Booker bounced back from a slow Wednesday with a herculean popcorn stat outing. The scoring efficiency continues to be a primary contributor to a top-40 output thus far. It seems like the bottom just has to fall out on this career-best 50-40-90 season.

Ricky Rubio

PG, Phoenix Suns

Ricky Rubio dished out a season-high 15 points against the Pelicans on Thursday, capping off a nice night that also included 14 points, six rebounds and four steals.

Rubio is one of the premier passers in this league and it seems like the community as a whole has underrated the impact that will continue to have in bumping up his value. He's one of the safest sources of assists even if the shot isn't falling.

Frank Kaminsky

PF, Phoenix Suns

Frank Kaminsky followed his season-high 23 points with a 20-point, six rebound performance on Thursday night.

Kaminsky took advantage of the absence of Aron Baynes yet again. This should continue to be the case for him with Baynes absent. Unfortunately, Cheick Diallo only played 11 minutes to accrue his eight points and four rebounds despite the overtime, so it doesn't look like Diallo will have a bankable role.

Kelly Oubre Jr.

SF, Phoenix Suns

Kelly Oubre struggled with his shot but wreaked havoc defensively in Thursday's win over the Pelicans, playing a game-high 47 minutes and scoring 14 points (6-of-21 shooting) to go with 15 rebounds, three steals and four blocks.

Oubre more than made up for the poor shooting with the seven defensive counters. Oubre's chance to be a top-50 player is alive and well. Start with confidence.

Cameron Johnson

SF, Phoenix Suns

Cam Johnson hit four 3-pointers and scored 18 points in 31 minutes off the bench in a wild overtime win over the Pelicans on Thursday night.

Johnson matched a career-high with 18 on the night. The upside isn't that enticing for Johnson because of his shooting-focused stat set and the presence of another highly-touted young player in Mikal Bridges (11 points in 22 minutes) competing for similar minutes, but Johnson should still be considered a 3-point specialist option.
