The Mavericks faced a tough challenge in Monday's game in Atlanta with three key perimeter players out of commission. In addition to Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson and Quentin Grimes were also sidelined, leading to Naji Marshall (17%) and Jaden Hardy (1%) stepping up to fill the void. Both players delivered outstanding performances in Dallas' victory over the Hawks. Marshall saw significant playing time, logging 28 minutes and putting up impressive numbers with 22 points, six rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers. This marked his third consecutive game scoring 20 points or more, showcasing his consistent offensive prowess. Meanwhile, Hardy had a breakout game, tallying a season-high 23 points along with three rebounds, two assists, and a career-high three steals. The young guard also knocked down two 3-pointers, demonstrating his versatility and impact on both ends of the court. Overall, Marshall and Hardy's contributions were crucial in helping the Mavericks secure a crucial win despite missing key players.

Marshall's fantasy value has increased since Doncic went down, and he'll miss at least one more game (Wednesday vs. New York). As for Hardy, his value depends on the availability of Thompson and Grimes. Also, we can't forget about Spencer Dinwiddie (2%), who produced a line of 22 points, three rebounds, four assists, and four 3-pointers. His fantasy status moving forward is similar to Hardy's; he'll need multiple people to sit to be worth the risk.

Let's look at a few more of Monday's top pickups:

Moussa Diabate (20%), Charlotte Hornets

Diabate didn't start Monday's loss to the Magic (Taj Gibson did), but he effectively played starters' minutes off the bench. Diabate didn't provide much scoring, but the rebounds (eight) and defensive stats (two steals and four blocks) were the important takeaways. He'll be worth rostering as long as the Hornets remain without Mark Williams and Nick Richards, and neither has a concrete timeline for return.

Anthony Black (14%), Orlando Magic

Already playing without Jalen Suggs, the Magic lost his replacement in the starting lineup five minutes into Monday's matchup with the Hornets. Gary Harris suffered a strained hamstring, and his exit led to Black starting the second half. While the final stat line wasn't particularly impressive (10 points, three rebounds, one assist, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 22 minutes), the opportunities for Black to produce will be there if Suggs and Harris remain sidelined. Those injuries also impacted Cole Anthony (1%), who re-entered the rotation and played 27 minutes. He finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two 3-pointers. However, fantasy managers may want to ensure Anthony sticks in the rotation before moving to add him.

Yves Missi (13%) and Elfrid Payton (2%), New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans received good news on the injury front Monday, as CJ McCollum returned from a strained adductor. However, with the team still down multiple contributors, there was room for Missi (who came off the bench) and Payton to provide value. Despite backing up Daniel Theis, Missi played 31 minutes off the bench and finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, and two blocked shots. As for Payton, all he did was establish a new career-high with 21 assists while also putting up 14 points, seven rebounds, and two steals in 31 minutes. While Missi should have value for the remainder of the season, even after everyone returns, Payton's fantasy relevance likely ends once Dejounte Murray returns from a broken hand.

Keon Ellis (8%), Sacramento Kings

Malik Monk's return from a sprained ankle was the most notable change to the Kings rotation, but it wasn't the only one. Ellis made his second start of the season on Monday, replacing Kevin Huerter. The matchup certainly influenced the decision, with Sacramento needing to defend Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But this is something to watch, especially with Huerter only playing ten minutes in Monday's loss. Ellis played 28, finishing with eight points, one rebound, three assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers. The line itself isn't enough to make Ellis a player worth adding. But that changes if he remains in the starting lineup, which is a realistic possibility due to the Kings' issues defending on the perimeter.

Jalen Wilson (2%) and Ziaire Williams (2%), Brooklyn Nets

Despite being down multiple rotation players and losing Cameron Johnson and Cam Thomas during Monday's game, the Nets erased an 18-point deficit to beat Golden State. Wilson and Williams, inserted into the starting lineup with Dorian Finney-Smith and Nic Claxton sidelined, made vital contributions. Wilson scored a career-high 18 points with seven rebounds, two assists, one block, and three 3-pointers. As for Williams, he recorded a double-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers. Their values for Wednesday's game against the Suns will depend on the Nets' injury report.

Neemias Queta (2%), Boston Celtics

While Kristaps Porzingis was available to make his season debut on Monday, the Celtics were without Al Horford and Luke Kornet. As a result, Queta remained in the rotation and was stellar in 25 minutes off the bench. He finished Monday's blowout of the Clippers with 12 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four blocked shots. Queta was a case in which the few managers who rostered him benefitted, and he'll be a schedule play moving forward. Boston's Sunday/Monday back-to-back against the Cavaliers and Heat will be the next opportunity to consider streaming Queta.
