He’s from Columbus, attended Ohio Sate University and has family in Cleveland. Redd would be a perfect outside threat for the Cavs and if they sign him, they’ll be a top team not only in the East, but the entire league. Redd is in Cleveland today as the Bucks take on the Cavs.

Allen was in the starting lineup for the first time since the Suns’ January 15 loss to the Pistons, stepping in for the injured Devin Booker (ankle). Like that last start, he didn’t get cheated on the shot attempts on Sunday. Unfortunately, Allen shot 1-of-11 from beyond the arc, with a 9-of-10 night at the foul line boosting his points tally. Booker will be re-evaluated in one week, so Allen will get a few more starts during the Suns’ four-game Week 15.

With no Devin Booker or Jalen Green, Brooks had to shoulder more of the offensive workload for the Suns on Sunday. He had a good night, shooting just under 50 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line without any turnovers. Over the past two weeks, Brooks has shot 34.4 percent from the field, and that has put a dent in his fantasy value. While he’s ranked outside the top-100, Booker being out for at least one week makes Brooks worth a look in 12-team leagues.

After totaling 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting in the prior two games, Jaquez ended Miami’s five-game road trip on a positive note. After scoring 20 points or more in two games last season, he’s up to 12 just past the halfway point of the 2025-26 campaign. And with Tyler Herro (ribs) out, Jaquez is one of the Heat players who boasts a higher fantasy ceiling due to the increased opportunities to contribute offensively.

The positive for Powell and those who have him rostered was that he recorded his first double-double of the season on Sunday. The downside was that he had a brutal night shooting the basketball. Powell made two of his 11 attempts from beyond the arc and shot 30 percent from two in one of his most inefficient efforts of the season. While Powell didn’t shoot the ball well in the final two games of Miami’s road trip, his overall fantasy value remains in a good place.

Adebayo scored at least 22 points in each of the final four games of Miami’s five-game west coast swing, picking up the slack to help account for the absences of Tyler Herro and Kel’el Ware. Over the past two weeks, the Heat captain has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats. After a slow start to the season, Adebayo is providing the value that fantasy managers hoped to get from him immediately. The Heat play four games in Week 15, but they won’t play their first until Wednesday.

Coming off a 47-point outing against the Pacers on Friday, Gilgeous-Alexander had just 24 points in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors. SGA was efficient, taking just 11 field goal attempts and making 8-of-10 free throws. He’s been the top player in per game value over the last two weeks. The Thunder have three games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Barnes was just two assists shy of a triple-double on Sunday, but his best play against the Thunder came on the defensive end. With a two-point lead and less than 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Barnes blocked Chet Holmgren on a midrange shot. The Raptors would hold the lead and eventually win 103-101. Barnes has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Toronto has three games in the upcoming week, beginning with a matchup against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Inactive since December 29 due to a strained adductor, Vassell was used in a reserve role on Sunday. While there was some rust to shake off, the Spurs’ wing playing 25 minutes without issue is the most important takeaway. Julian Champagnie (13 points, four rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer) remained in the starting lineup, but he played 26 minutes after logging 34 in each of the prior two games. There will likely come a point when Vassell returns to the starting lineup, with Champagnie heading to the bench.

San Antonio’s starting backcourt of Fox and Stephon Castle (five points, four rebounds, five assists and one steal) combined to shoot 5-of-14 from the field on Sunday. While that wasn’t the only reason for the loss, it certainly didn’t help the Spurs’ cause. Over the past two weeks, Fox has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, with the foul line (63.3 percent) being his issue. Given the season-long value, Fox should be fine moving forward.

Wembanyama and the Spurs struggled to knock down shots on Sunday, making 40 percent of their attempts from the field and shooting 12-of-44 from beyond the arc. Wemby’s line included a poor effort from the foul line, with the 7-foot-4 sensation making two of his six attempts. All wasn’t lost for fantasy managers due to the rebounds and blocks, but overall, this was an underwhelming end to Week 14 for Wembanyama. The Spurs begin a three-game Week 15 in Houston on Wednesday.
