2025-26 NBA Title Odds: Thunder Favored; Can Nuggets Truly Contend?

Jalen Slawson - Strong defensive showing Slawson recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 145-126 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Slawson continues to demonstrate his defensive upside, recording at least four combined steals and blocks for the fourth time in his past six games. While his production warrants fantasy attention, the fact that both his availability and playing time continue to fluctuate has to be factored in when considering him as a pickup.

Kobe Brown - Serviceable again in win Brown closed with 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 145-126 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Brown was productive for the third straight game, during which time he has averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 29.4 minutes per contest. With Jarace Walker sidelined due to a back injury, Brown has filled the void as best as possible. If Walker continues to miss time, Brown could be worth a look as a short-term addition.

Quenton Jackson - Busts out for career night Jackson contributed eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 145-126 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Jackson blew up for a career-high 24 points, guiding the Pacers to a rare win. On a night in which he played at least 30 minutes for just the fourth time, Jackson was everywhere on both ends of the floor. However, managers will need to temper expectations moving forward, given that he had played only once in the previous nine games. At best, he could be streamed in to see whether this performance leads to a consistent role down the stretch.
