This week's list is comprised of three players that have been in this space before; all are young players with established roles and some upside in their current situations.
Two other players have been elevated due to injuries to teammates, but are also young enough to play themselves into continuing roles as we move into the later parts of the season.
Malik Monk, Los Angeles Lakers (16.9% rostered in ESPN leagues): Monk has been in this space before this season, and his hot play of late earned him a return. Over his last three games, he has averaged 22.0 PPG (48.9 FG%, 87.5 FT%, 46.9 3P%), 6.3 RPG, 5.0 3PG, 4.0 APG and 1.0 SPG. Monk is a streaky shooter in a hot streak, and he's also getting more opportunity with LeBron James (knee) sidelined. James continues to battle a swollen knee, but isn't expected to miss major time. Either way, Monk retains value as the youthful energy, 3-point shooting and instant offense roles and that value just increases in times like these where the team relies on him to help carry the offense.
Darius Bazley, Oklahoma City Thunder (8.0%): Bazley has had a disappointing season, well below expectation, but with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) out through the All-Star Break, Bazley could see a small uptick in scoring opportunities which could make him worth re-considering. He's scored double figures in back-to-back games, and still has the upside to contribute positively to both defensive and the 3-point categories on a given night.
Chuma Okeke, Orlando Magic (7.5%): Okeke moved back to the bench after a short stint in the starting lineup, and has actually improved his production. During the last six games, he has averaged 13.3 PPG (56.9 FG%, 100 FT%), 4.8 RPG, 3.0 3PG, 2.2 APG, 1.5 SPG and 0.8 BPG in 24.7 MPG. He's turning in strong jack-of-all-trades numbers, including contributions in each of 3-pointers, steals and blocks, and is in a role that should be consistent if not growing moving forward on a young Magic squad.
Amir Coffey, LA Clippers (6.7%): Coffey has settled in as a key cog in the Clippers' offense with Paul George out, and though he's inconsistent from game-to-game he's productive enough to be worthy of a roster spot and spot-starter status at the least in most leagues. In his last 13 games, he has averaged 15.3 PPG (50.4 FG%, 93.1 FT%, 42.0 3P%), 4.2 RPG, 2.6 3PG, 3.0 APG and 1.1 SPG in 32.1 MPG.
Isaiah Jackson, Indiana Pacers (3.5%): The Pacers' frontline is hit with injuries right now, with Domantas Sabonis (COVID-19) joining Myles Turner (foot) on the sidelines, and backups Goga Bitadze (foot) and Oshae Brissett (ankle) currently questionable. This has opend the door for Jackson, and he's taken advantage of it to the tune of 18.3 PPG (61.1 FG%, 80.0 FT%, 60.0 3P%), 6.7 RPG, 2.0 BPG, 1.0 3PG, 1.0 SPG and 1.0 APG in only 23.7 MPG during their last three outings. This was bolstered by a career outing of 26 points and 10 boards in 29 minutes in their last game. The rookie may only be a short-term add, but he's also a young player with upside on a Pacers team that is increasingly falling out of even play-in contention. It's conceivable that the Pacers start to give their younger players more run moving forward, especially if they decide to become sellers at the trade deadline.
