Amid a challenging season for the Charlotte Hornets, the Atlanta Hawks' rookie Zaccharie Risacher showcased his potential with a standout performance, scoring 21 points in just 24 minutes during a decisive win against the Hornets. This season, Risacher has emerged as a valuable fantasy asset, particularly since the All-Star break, where he has averaged 15.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. His increasing efficiency from beyond the arc, hitting 51.1% of his shots, positions him favorably as the Hawks push for playoff positioning.

Other notable performances came from low-rostered players across the league. Kyle Filipowski of the Utah Jazz is gaining attention as he steps into a larger role due to injuries. Meanwhile, Brooklyn Nets’ Keon Johnson is showing signs of improvement and could see increased minutes as the team approaches the draft lottery. Buddy Hield from the Golden State Warriors also capitalized on Stephen Curry's absence, providing a solid scoring option. Lastly, Max Strus of the Cleveland Cavaliers continues to impress, particularly during back-to-backs.
