Gafford registered 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 win over Portland.

Gafford was efficient from the floor and posted a strong stat line on both ends of the court. This was his first start since Nov. 12 and extended his solid run of play, as the big man has scored in double digits in 13 appearances in a row. He's averaging 14.1 points per game while shooting an impressive 75.5 percent from the floor in that span.

Davis registered 33 points (13-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.

Although Davis is playing with a pesky foot injury, his production hasn't suffered. Sunday's result extended his double-double streak to five games and marked his 13th double-double of the season. The Lakers face a back-to-back game on the road against a tough Minnesota team Monday night. It may be difficult for Davis to log a full game after an exhausting run against strong opponents over the past week.

Hartenstein finished Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Rockets with 19 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.

Hartenstein's red-hot start has been a pleasant surprise for the Thunder, who needed someone to step up to replace Chet Holmgren (hip). The Thunder found their man in Hartenstein, who made his season debut two weeks ago and has posted a double-double in every game.

Sengun contributed 20 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder.

Sengun was only one assist shy of a triple-double in the victory but extended his current double-double streak to three games. He's hit the threshold 15 times, which has included three triple-doubles. He'll face a stiffer test Tuesday evening against Domantas Sabonis and the Kings.

Adebayo closed with 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 20 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Raptors.

Adebayo beat his previous season-high rebound mark by a wide margin and was the clear winner inside despite a good performance from Jakob Poeltl. Adebayo has recorded eight double-doubles over his past eight games and will look to keep the streak going against the Celtics on Monday.

Poeltl racked up 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Miami.

Poeltl has quietly crept into the top 10 in the double-double rankings, besting usual residents like Bam Adebayo, Rudy Gobert and Evan Mobley in the category. Although Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett are Toronto's current standouts, Poeltl possesses the steadiest floor on the team. He's dipped below 10 points five times this season and has recorded less than 10 rebounds only six times.

Allen posted eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-111 victory over the Celtics.

Allen matched frontcourt mate Evan Mobley with 10 boards in a tough matchup with Kristaps Porzingis and the Celtics, but Allen was able to post his 12th outing of the year with double-digit rebounds and continue a solid string of play since Nov. 13. Over his last nine games, Allen is shooting a highly efficient 78.1 percent from the floor while averaging 15.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old star big man should continue to provide a high field-goal percentage with strong rebounding and a palatable free-throw percentage for fantasy managers going forward.

Gafford will start Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Gafford enters the starting five due to Dereck Lively (knee) being sidelined. This marks Gafford's first start since Nov. 12 and his 12th of the season. Through 11 starts, Gafford holds averages of 12.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 21.2 minutes per game.

Wagner supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 100-92 victory over Brooklyn.

Wagner provided a nice lift off Orlando's bench in Sunday's win, leading all second-unit players in scoring and rebounds while also recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks in a near double-double outing. Wagner tied a season high in rebounds, and he's now reached double figures in scoring in six of his last seven contests.

Bitadze totaled 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 100-92 victory over the Nets.

Bitadze once again owned the paint in Sunday's victory, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while pacing the Magic in steals to go along with a team-high-tying pair of blocks in a double-double performance. Bitadze has recorded a double-double in six outings this season, including in two of his last three appearances.
