Tristan Vukcevic has emerged as a must-add fantasy option with Alex Sarr sidelined by a hamstring injury. The Washington Wizards rookie delivered a stellar 12-point, five-rebound, five-steal performance in just 17 minutes against the Pacers, showcasing his potential across multiple categories. Available in 93% of ESPN leagues, Vukcevic offers points, rebounds, steals, blocks and 3-pointers.

Jarace Walker continues to thrive in Indiana's tanking environment, logging heavy minutes and producing across the stat sheet. The Pacers forward posted 19 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes Thursday, despite shooting just 5-of-15. His 48% field goal percentage over the past two months and unlimited playing time make him a must-have addition in 13% of leagues.

Brandin Podziemski stands to benefit most from Stephen Curry's 10-day absence with a knee injury. The Golden State Warriors guard has averaged 15.3 points, 1.3 steals and 1.3 3-pointers over his last three games while playing at least 32 minutes in each contest. With Curry set for reevaluation in 10 days, Podziemski should continue providing strong fantasy production.

Meanwhile, Paolo Banchero's efficiency has dipped recently, Alperen Sengun's dominant numbers have cooled slightly, and Pascal Siakam faces late-season availability concerns with the Pacers prioritizing losses. Managers should consider trading these established stars for more consistent contributors.
