Eubanks produced zero points (0-2 FT) and three rebounds across nine minutes during Saturday's 105-94 win over the Nets.

Eubanks underwhelming season continued Saturday, having now scored more than five points only five times in the first 22 games. To this point, he is averaging just 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game, playing as a backup option behind Walker Kessler.

Gobert ended Saturday's 113-103 loss to Golden State with 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.

It was the 12th double-double of the season for Gobert, who supplied a full stat line for the Timberwolves on Saturday. Since the calendar turned to December, Gobert is averaging 11.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 66.0 percent from the floor over nine outings. The 32-year-old star big man may not offer fantasy managers much in the way of outside scoring and playmaking, but Gobert is shooting a career-high 72.9 percent from the charity stripe on the season and remains an elite source of swats and boards along with a high field-goal percentage.

Jackson-Davis registered 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over the Timberwolves.

After coming off the bench in each of his last six appearances, Jackson-Davis played a season-high 26 minutes and delivered a full stat line but struggled with foul trouble when returning to the first unit. With Draymond Green (ankle) sidelined, the Warriors rolled with Jackson-Davis and Kyle Anderson in the starting frontcourt. Jackson-Davis is now averaging 8.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 17.9 minutes per game over 19 contests as a starter this year. It's unknown if coach Steve Kerr will stick with the 24-year-old big man in the starting lineup going forward, as it's worth noting Golden State may have opted for more size at center in a matchup with the physical Rudy Gobert on Saturday, but Jackson-Davis is worth a speculative add in fantasy leagues for managers who seek swats, boards and a high field-goal percentage.

Bassey posted 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 114-94 win over the Trail Blazers.

Though Victor Wembanyama captured most of the headlines with a 30-point, 10-block performance, Bassey turned heads while serving as Wembanyama's backup. Bassey appears to have solidified his spot in the rotation as the backup center ahead of Zach Collins, who has been available for the past two contests but hasn't played after a recent two-game absence due to a back injury. Bassey has shown the ability to post interesting per-minute numbers throughout his career, but unless Wembanyama misses time, Bassey's fantasy appeal will be largely left to deeper leagues. Bassey is unlikely to surpass 20 minutes in competitive contests while Wembanyama is available.

Wembanyama amassed 30 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and 10 blocks over 30 minutes during Saturday's 114-94 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Wembanyama became the sixth player in NBA history -- and the youngest -- to record at least 30 points and 10 blocks in a game as the Spurs routed the Blazers. The star big man is going through his most productive stretch of the season, as he was coming off a 42-point effort in the overtime win over the Hawks on Thursday. Plus, Wembanyama has scored at least 20 points in five straight games since returning from a two-game absence due to a back problem earlier this month. Over that five-game stretch, Wembanyama is averaging a monster stat line of 29.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 5.2 blocks per contest.

Bitadze closed with 18 points (8-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 victory over the Heat.

The Magic were without several key contributors in this game, such as Jalen Suggs (ankle), Franz Wagner (oblique) and Paolo Banchero (oblique), and they also lost Moritz Wagner (knee) and Wendell Carter (ejection) Saturday. Hence, they needed Bitadze to be at his best. The big man stepped up and delivered, notching a double-double for the fourth time across his last five appearances while hitting each of his eight shots from the field. Bitadze has scored in double digits in 12 of his 22 games as a starter this season, and it seems he might be able to continue playing at this level based on his recent outings.

Adebayo amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to Orlando.

Adebayo was one of three Miami players who scored at least 20 points in this game, with Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier being the others. The star big man continues to be extremely consistent on both ends of the court, posting three games with at least 20 points and four double-doubles across his last six appearances. Expect Adebayo to enjoy a slight bump in fantasy upside if Jimmy Butler (illness) remains sidelined for Monday's game against the Nets.

Bol (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Bol is dealing with a left knee contusion and will be unavailable for the Suns on Saturday. Bol hasn't been part of the Suns rotation recently, so his absence shouldn't have much of a rotational impact. His next chance to play will come Monday at Denver.

Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Miami, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports. He didn't record any counting stats over two minutes prior to exiting.

Wagner sustained a non-contact left knee injury and will undergo further testing to determine the specifics and severity of the injury. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan are the likeliest candidates for increased roles sans Wagner. Wagner's next chance to play will come Monday against Boston.

Carter was ejected from Saturday's game against the Heat after being assessed two technical fouls in the second quarter. He finished the game with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), a rebound, an assist and a block across 13 minutes.

The Magic saw Moritz Wagner (knee) depart earlier in the game with a non-contact knee injury, and now Carter is gone, so they'll be extremely thin in terms of depth at center. This means Goga Bitadze and Jonathan Isaac will see even more minutes in the frontcourt.
