Deng scored 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 FT, 2-5 3Pt) to go along with four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes Sunday against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran took on a larger offensive role Sunday, as he tied a season-high in field-goal attempts and reached 17 points for just the fourth time. Deng continues to play 30-plus minutes per night for Miami, but his season averages of just 10.2 points and 4.7 rebounds suggest that he is long past his prime as a solid fantasy contributor. Deng could again see a few extra shots if center Hassan Whiteside misses Tuesday's game as expected, but his fantasy value will likely level off once the latter returns.
