Jalen McDaniels in prime position to flourish

Monday's 11-game slate came to a dramatic end in San Francisco, as Kevon Looney's putback as time expired gave the Warriors a double-overtime win over the Hawks. Before that, however, multiple low-rostered players either performed well in expanded roles or saw the potential for additional minutes arise due to injury. Two players who fall in the latter category are Jalen McDaniels (29% rostered Yahoo) and Naji Marshall (9%), who came off the bench of the Hornets and Pelicans, respectively.

McDaniels' fantasy value had already been slightly boosted when Hornets sixth man Kelly Oubre suffered a sprained left (shooting) hand last week.
