Monday's top gainers by last-10 FPG (fantasy points per game) over season FPG, all still available on most waiver wires.
- Rayan Rupert (PHI) 12.4 -> 30.3 FPG, +17.8. Rising minutes, up to 32.9 over his last 10, with usage climbing to 20.6% over his last 5 against 12.9% on the season. Rostered in 1% of leagues.
- John Konchar (NYK) 18.6 -> 34.7 FPG, +16.1. Minutes rising to 30.7 over his last 10. Rostered in 6% of leagues.
- Jeremiah Fears (NOP) 26.2 -> 40.7 FPG, +14.5. Promoted into the lineup for 5 straight starts after starting just 20% of his prior games, plus a hot shooting stretch. Rostered in 36% of leagues.
- Ousmane Dieng (MIL) 15.8 -> 30.0 FPG, +14.2. A hot streak with minutes up to 32.4 over his last 10. Rostered in 7% of leagues.
- Will Riley (WAS) 18.0 -> 31.9 FPG, +13.9. Usage up to 24.2% over his last 5 with minutes rising to 32.6 over his last 10. Rostered in 29% of leagues.
- Leonard Miller (CHI) 15.2 -> 29.0 FPG, +13.9. Promoted for 6 straight starts after a prior start rate of 30%, riding a hot shooting stretch too. Rostered in 4% of leagues.
- Cody Williams (MIN) 17.7 -> 30.7 FPG, +12.9. Hot streak with minutes up to 35.2 over his last 10. Rostered in 9% of leagues.
- Jericho Sims (MIL) 14.7 -> 27.1 FPG, +12.5. Promoted for 5 straight starts after a prior start rate of 30%. Rostered in 2% of leagues.
Dieng is the closest thing to a sell-high here: a shooting spike without an actual role change on paper. Sims is the real one; he's been handed starter minutes for five straight games after starting less than a third of his season, and the role looks like the driver, not the box score.
