Capela ended Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.

Capela was one of the best two-way centers in the league during his prime years, and he turned the clock back a few years with this strong showing Saturday. This was the first time Capela reached the 20-point plateau this season, and he also finished just one board shy of recording what would've been his second double-double. Onyeka Okongwu could end up being the long-term answer at center for the Hawks, but Capela will remain in the starting unit if he manages to perform at this rate on a regular basis.

Vucevic closed Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes.

Vucevic came up short from reaching the 20-point mark for the seventh time in the current campaign, but the big man accomplished more than just scoring. This was his eighth double-double in 10 appearances, and the veteran has been one of the best two-way big men in the early stages of the 2024-25 season.

Wembanyama amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and seven blocks across 33 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 loss to Utah.

Wembanyama continues to dominate as a rim protector and turned in yet another eye-popping performance for fantasy managers in the blocks category. He also had his shot working from beyond the arc Saturday, drilling a season-high six triples to account for 18 of his 24 points. Wembanyama's effort on the boards was yet another highlight, marking his third double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. The 2023 first-round pick is now averaging 18.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 4.8 blocks through five November appearances.

Collins chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 win over San Antonio.

Collins turned in a double-double for the second time in three appearances, and he also set a new top mark on the young campaign with three steals. Both Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen contributed in big ways for the Jazz in the victory, but it was promising to see Collins also put up productive numbers alongside Utah's big two.

Castleton is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland with a left ankle sprain.

A two-way player, Castleton has played just seven minutes across four appearances for the Grizzlies this season. Though the Grizzlies have ruled out five other players for Sunday's contest due to injury, the team has all of its centers healthy with the exception of Castleton, who likely won't be in store for playing time if he's cleared to suit up.

Davis (left plantar fasciitis) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is dealing with a lingering bout of plantar fasciitis, but the probable tag suggests the star big man should be ready to play against Toronto. Davis registered 31 points (11-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 116-106 victory over the 76ers.

Hayes (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes has been on the Lakers' injury report the past few days due to left knee soreness, but the issue isn't serious enough for him to be sidelined. He's averaging 5.7 points and 4.4 rebounds over 17 minutes to start the 2024-25 regular season.

Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.

Robinson hasn't made his 2024-25 regular-season debut due to a left MCL sprain he suffered in early October. His next chance at suiting up will be Monday against the Spurs.

Nurkic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to left ankle soreness.

The Suns will be without Kevin Durant (calf) for at least two weeks, and losing Nurkic would deplete the frontcourt considerably. However, the questionable tag suggests he should have a decent chance of playing Sunday. Nurkic is averaging 11.0 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this season.

Kornet (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday against the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and missed Friday's overtime win over the Nets. The questionable tag for this matchup doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If he's out, then either Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman would earn a start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford.
