Kleber (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Kleber will miss a second straight contest Tuesday and remains day-to-day. His absence won't have a big impact on the rotation, as he's averaging 17.0 minutes per game this season.

Plumlee accumulated seven points (2-5 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to Orlando.

Plumlee made his third start in a row while filling in for the injured Jusuf Nurkic (calf). In those games, Plumlee was a serviceable fantasy streamer with averages of 4.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 blocks. He could be worth a look again if Nurkic is unable to return Dec. 13 against the Jazz.

Capela amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets.

Capela made the most of his limited minutes, and his workloads have been frustrating for his fantasy managers. He's averaging 22.7 minutes compared to 24.0 for Onyeka Okongwu, and he's produced 11th-round value in nine-category formats on the season.

Okongwu totaled 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets.

Okongwu saw 25 minutes compared to 19 for Clint Capela, and that's been a theme many times this season. Okongwu is averaging 24.0 minutes per contest compared to 22.7 for Capela, with both players returning 11th-round value in nine-category formats so far.

Jackson-Davis (coach's decision) didn't see the floor during Sunday's 114-106 win over the Timberwolves.

Jackson-Davis' workload has fluctuated all season. He started the first 17 games of the campaign but was brought off the bench Nov. 27, and remained in a bench role for three of the next four games. He reached a new low point Sunday, falling out of the rotation entirely while the Warriors started Draymond Green at center alongside Jonathan Kuminga at power forward. Coach Steve Kerr's rotation has been in flux all season, so don't be surprised if Jackson-Davis gets back in the mix at some point. For the time being, however, the Warriors may prefer to have Green and Kevon Looney cover the center minutes.

Huff supplied 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 win over Washington.

Huff had the hot hand off the bench as he produced his 14th game of the season with double-digit points. His lack of peripheral stats makes him a tough sell outside of deeper formats, however, as he's averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers through five December outings.

Lopez recorded three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 26 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 win over the Nets.

Lopez was a non-factor for most of the night, while Bobby Portis erupted for 23 points off the bench. Despite this dud, Lopez has been pretty reliable for most of the season, as he's on pace to post top-50 value in nine-category formats for his steady supply of three-pointers (1.8) and blocks (2.2).

Missi finished with 18 points (6-14 FG, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 loss to the Spurs.

Missi's standout rookie season continued Sunday as he registered his sixth double-double of the campaign. He matched his career-best mark of 14 rebounds, and he's been trending straight up in fantasy leagues. Over his last five games, he's posting averages of 13.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 28.2 minutes.

Looney had 12 points (6-8 FG), nine rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 win over Minnesota.

Looney had a productive outing on a night the Warriors needed some size in the frontcourt to match up with Minnesota. Unless his role improves, Looney is a difficult player to trust outside of deeper formats -- he's averaging 16.6 minutes per game this season and is mostly a rebounding specialist with 7.9 boards per game.

Allen recorded six points (3-7 FG), seven rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 loss to the Heat.

This was a disappointing showing for Allen on a night in which the Cavaliers really needed him to step up -- Evan Mobley was unable to play in the second half due to an ankle sprain. Allen is trending in the wrong direction in December, posting averages of 8.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five games with just a single block to his name in that span.
