Tough Sits: Disappointing Weeks
- Jalen Johnson (ATL) — Forward played only 3 games this week, collecting 157.5 pts with 70 points, 40 rebounds, 23 assists, 5 steals, 13 turnovers, and 1 block. The reduced game count and high turnover rate made him a riskier play than expected for those who had him rostered.

- Tyrese Maxey (PHI) — Guard: 158.8 pts across 4 games. Despite recording 84 points and 30 assists, his 11 turnovers and limited rebounding output for a backcourt player left fantasy managers wanting more contribution.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) — Guard: 172.3 pts across just 3 games. Although Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 111 points and 21 assists, missing the fourth game significantly limited his weekly ceiling and left upside on the table.
