Caleb Wilson scores 22 points to lead No. 14 North Carolina past Syracuse, 87-77

Donnie Freeman - Goes for 23 points Monday Freeman finished Monday's 87-77 loss to North Carolina with 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes.

Impact The Orange came up short in this matchup against the Tar Heels, but Freeman delivered another impressive performance while ending just two boards shy of a double-double. Freeman is firmly entrenched as Syracuse's go-to option on offense and is averaging 18.2 points and 7.3 boards per game in 13 appearances this season. He's also on a run of five games with at least 20 points over his last nine contests.

Nate Meithof - Season-high against Irish Kingz closed Saturday's 86-72 win over Notre Dame with 28 points (11-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 37 minutes.

Impact Kingz is maddeningly inconsistent from a fantasy standpoint, but Saturday showed what the ceiling is and why the senior guard remains on the radar. In his last 12 games, Kingz has scored seven points or less on six occasions, but he also has a game of 27 points on the ledger, in addition to Saturday's season-best effort. it may be a case of him being able to score in bunches against the lower-tier ACC teams but having a bit of trouble against some of the better defenses. Two respectable defenses await this week with matchups at North Carolina (Feb. 2) and at Virginia (Feb. 7).

William Kyle III - Chips in 10 vs. ND Kyle contributed 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 86-72 win over Notre Dame.

Impact Kyle's numbers rarely jump off the page, as his season-high scoring total is just 15 points. However, the senior is consistent enough to warrant fantasy consideration in formats using the ACC, as he rarely has an "off" game. He's scored exactly 10 points in three of his last four games, and three games during that run also saw him record eight rebounds. On top of that, he's the ACC's leading shot-blocker this season at 2.7 rejections per contest.

Donnie Freeman - Not starting Saturday Freeman isn't in Syracuse's starting five against Notre Dame on Saturday, per Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard.

Impact Freeman had started the last seven games for the Orange, and averaged 20.1 points and 8.4 rebounds in that time. It's unclear why he's been removed from the starting five, but he's been replaced by Sadiq White.

Noah Lobdell - Available to play Saturday Lobdell (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Notre Dame.

Impact Lobdell is set to return for Syracuse after not stepping on the hardwood in each of the team's last eight games. Even if he plays, the sophomore guard isn't likely to be available for a heavy workload off the bench.

Donnie Freeman - Elite production continues Freeman logged 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 88-68 loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Freeman recorded his second double-double in conference play, and the sophomore forward continues to turn heads as Syracuse's most reliable scoring weapon. He's scored in double digits in every ACC game so far while averaging a robust line of 19.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.

Naithan George - Solid all-around showing George registered 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 85-76 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact George needed 11 shots to score 13 points, and while that isn't ideal from an efficiency perspective, the talented floor general made up for it in other categories. George snapped a run of four games with single-digit points in this outing, and he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game in ACC play.

Noah Lobdell - Out vs. NC State Lobdell (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's game at NC State.
