Meleek Thomas at Knicks - Bench Scoring Role in New York
Healthy and operating in a reserve backcourt role for Cleveland, Meleek Thomas has seen his roster rate rise to 20% amid an impressive early-season stretch. Over his last seven contests, the rookie guard has provided steady perimeter production off the bench, averaging 12.6 points and 2.6 triples across 23.1 minutes per game.
In tonight's road matchup against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, our models project Thomas for 10.7 fantasy points and 6.5 points in 15.7 minutes. With Cleveland navigating a four-game week that concludes with a back-to-back set, his perimeter scoring is best viewed as deep-league depth.

Tari Eason vs. Warriors: Sixth-Man Value in Four-Game Week
Tari Eason enters Wednesday’s matchup against Golden State healthy and locked into his energetic sixth-man role off the Houston bench. Backing up Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr., Eason continues to see steady playing time, averaging 23.4 minutes, 8.6 points, and 6.7 rebounds over his last seven contests. His disruptive defensive activity has sustained his fantasy value, pushing his roster rate up to 53% across leagues as managers lean into his consistent peripheral production.
For tonight's home tilt at Toyota Center, our models project Eason for 18.2 fantasy points with eight points and five rebounds in 21 minutes. Facing a Warriors squad riding an eight-game winning streak could test Houston's reserves, but the Rockets' four-game weekly schedule makes him an appealing streaming asset with three games left to play.
