Few players have found it more frustrating to play in fantasy leagues than Robert Williams (12% listed, Yahoo) because he couldn’t stay on the field. He returned from a strained hamstring last week and there were questions about how (or if) Blazers coach Chauncey Billups would play all three of his big men. But everything turned out fine on Tuesday, as starter Deandre Ayton was out with a finger injury.

Rookie Donovan Clingan started at center, but Williams had the most impact. The Time Lord finished with 19 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks in 25 minutes. That’s an excellent line for a player struggling to stay healthy and a reminder of what he can do when he plays quality minutes. So, should you rush to add Williams now if he’s still on the waiver wire? No, and the schedule is why. Portland and Minnesota play again on Wednesday; then the next game is Sunday against the Hawks.

Not the best place to look at fantasy value, but it was good to see Williams contribute as much as he did on Tuesday. Let’s take a look at some of Tuesday’s best pickups.

De’Anthony Melton (27%), Golden State Warriors

Melton’s injury history is the reason his selection percentage is so low, but he has played well recently. One game shy of recording a double-double in a win over the Thunder, he finished Tuesday’s win over the Warriors with 14 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 26 minutes. Given the number of perimeter options at Steve Kerr’s disposal, it’s unlikely that Melton’s minutes will increase much in the near future. But he has the skills that have proven to be fantasy-friendly; the key for Melton is to stay on the ground.

Jared McCain (21%), Philadelphia 76ers

McCain is starting to heat up, scoring 18 points or more in three straight games. He scored 23 in Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks, shooting 7-for-16 from the field while also recording three steals, two assists and four 3-pointers. He also put up these numbers as part of a rotation involving Joel Embiid and Paul George. Given Tyrese Maxey’s hamstring injury and the possibility of Embiid and George sitting out Wednesday’s game against Cleveland, McCain should have some staying power in the short term.

Grant Williams (20%) and Moussa Diabate (3%), Charlotte Hornets

While Charlotte kept Taj Gibson in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game in Orlando, the decision was made to bring in Williams, with rookie Tidjane Salaun returning to the bench. Williams had a solid night in the 25-point loss, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in 31 minutes. The breakout player, however, was Diabate, who played 30 minutes off the bench and finished with 12 points, 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocked shots. With Nick Richards and Mark Williams still sidelined, Willians and Diabate are worth considering in deep leagues. If Diabate can consistently reach the mid-20s in minutes, the rebounding and defensive stats will increase his value in deep leagues.

Grayson Allen (15%) and Mason Plumlee (5%), Phoenix Suns

The Suns played Tuesday’s game at Utah without Jusuf Nurkic, who was dealing with a sore ankle. Plumlee was solid in the starting lineup, finishing with 15 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes. If Nurkic can’t play in Wednesday’s game against the Kings, Plumlee would be worth a look in incredibly deep leagues, but that’s about it. Allen is mentioned in this space because Bradley Beal left Tuesday’s win due to a calf tightness. If he can’t play Wednesday, it likely opens the doors for Allen to move into the starting role.

Davion Mitchell (14%), Toronto Raptors

With Immanuel Quickley (elbow) sidelined for at least a week, Mitchell is back on the streaming radar, especially for managers in need of assists and steals. And that was pretty much all he delivered against the Bucks on Tuesday. He missed both shots from the field and scored one point with four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes. Toronto doesn’t play the Pistons again until Friday, which isn’t the best schedule for Mitchell.

Neemias Queta, Boston Celtics (5%)

Queta didn’t do much in Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks, logging 21 minutes and going scoreless with five rebounds and two blocked shots. Boston’s schedule, which visits the Nets on Wednesday, puts him on the list. That means Al Horford is likely off the board because he didn’t play on either side of a back-to-back last season. Queta is a better streaming option than Luke Kornet, who played just four minutes against the Hawks.

Larry Nance Jr. (2%) and Keaton Wallace (2%), Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta was outstanding on Tuesday, assisting on 35 of 50 shots made. Wallace started for Trae Young (Achilles) and played 32 minutes and dished out eight assists while committing two turnovers. As for Nance, he played 27 minutes off the bench and went deep, shooting 5-for-6 and finishing with 19 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot. The Hawks finished with Nance and Onyeka Okongwu on the court, while starter Clint Capela played just 17 minutes. The Hawks don’t play again until Friday, so managers missed the perfect opportunity to roll the dice on Nance or Wallace.
