Jericho Sims - Minimal impact so far Sims is averaging 1.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across six appearances off the bench this season.
Impact Sims was expected to contend for a spot in a depleted frontcourt without Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Precious Achiuwa (hamstring), but such hasn't been the case. The Knicks have played Karl-Anthony Towns at center and have elected to go with forwards at center in small-ball lineups rather than handing Sims heavy minutes. Thus, Sims shouldn't be rostered in any format, and his playing time will be even more scarce once Robinson or Achiuwa are ready to return to the hardwood.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Lackluster performance in win Smith added seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Monday's 109-97 win over New York.
Impact Monday's game marked season lows in both minutes and points for Smith, following his season high in both categories the game prior. While he is averaging 12.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks over 31.0 minutes this season, it is definitely worth monitoring his consistency regarding his offensive production moving forward.

Dillon Brooks - Questionable for Wednesday Brooks is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.
Impact Brooks has been a regular for the Rockets this season, starting in each of his seven appearances and logging a solid 33.4 minutes per contest. If Brooks ends up being ruled out, then Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason or even Reed Sheppard are all conditions to log some of his minutes.

Tari Eason - Cools off following major outing Eason posted seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 25 minutes in Monday's 109-97 victory over the Knicks.
Impact After two back-to-back games with 15+ points and 10+ field goal attempts (the most recent being a 27 point explosion), Eason was not able to maintain his production Monday as he put up a more modest statline. Despite this, his 25 minutes were his second most in a game this season, which is an encouraging sign moving forward. Through 7 games, Eason averages 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.1 minutes.
