Malik Monk - Shooting woes surface TuesdayMonk registered 13 points (5-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to Phoenix.

ImpactMonk might have scored in double digits for the fifth game in a row, which is always useful considering his bench role, but his upside becomes limited when he struggles from the field as much as he did Tuesday. Monk delivers most of his value through his shooting and scoring prowess, so on that note, an improvement over his 41.8 percent from the field since the start of January could be useful for fantasy managers.

De'Aaron Fox - Goes for 33 points in epic lossFox had 33 points (12-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Suns.

ImpactFox drained six threes and reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season, but his impressive outing was not enough, as the Kings had an epic meltdown in the final minutes and ended up losing a game they should've won by a sizable margin. Despite the team's struggles closing out games, Fox remains a top option at the point guard role in fantasy due to his all-around ability, and he's putting up 22.6 points, 4.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game since the start of January.

Domantas Sabonis - Triple-double not enough TuesdaySabonis logged 21 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to Phoenix.

ImpactSabonis missed just two shots from the field and notched his fifth triple-double across nine January contests, but his contributions were not enough to avoid the Kings' epic meltdown in the fourth quarter. Regardless of the team's struggles, Sabonis has been one of the best players in fantasy this season and has consistently delivered first-round value aided by the fact he's now notched a double-double or a triple-double in each of his appearances dating back to Dec. 2, which represents a 23-game run.

Kevin Durant - Scores 27 in win over SacramentoDurant recorded 27 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 victory over the Kings.

ImpactDurant has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five appearances following his three-game absence due to a hamstring problem, and the star forward continues to be a productive scorer despite the fact he has to share the ball with two other stars in Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Durant has been extremely efficient as well, making 51.2 percent of his shots in that five-game stretch.

Jusuf Nurkic - Records another double-doubleNurkic contributed 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 victory over Sacramento.

ImpactNurkic has been a steady presence down low for the Suns and has started every game outside of the two contests he missed in December due to personal reasons. He has five double-doubles over his last 10 games while averaging 13.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in that span.
