Drummond amassed five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 14 minutes during Monday's 108-104 victory over the 76ers.

Drummond's rebounding prowess has been on full display in December, as he's grabbed at least eight boards in five of his last eight games. He's accomplished that in limited workloads, posting averages of 6.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 steals in 13.4 minutes in that stretch.

Hartenstein totaled nine points (3-4 FG, 3-6 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 38 minutes in Monday's 114-109 win over the Lakers.

Hartenstein took advantage of an Jericho Sims' (ankle) early exit by posting his best rebound performance of his career while surpassing his season high in minutes by a wide margin. Hartenstein has proven to be the best solution for Mitchell Robinson's (ankle) extended absence, and alongside Julius Randle's voluminous totals, the Knicks' frontcourt is in good hands.

Reid had 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 win over Miami.

Reid led all reserves in Monday's game in scoring while ending as one of five Timberwolves with a double-digit point total, providing a much-needed offensive spark off the bench. Reid has been outstanding as Minnesota's sixth man this season, posting 15 or more points in 10 games including in four straight contests.

Gobert finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Miami.

Gobert led all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while finishing one point short of a double-double. Gobert, who also tallied a pair of blocks and steals defensively, has hauled in 15 or more rebounds in five games this season, including in three of his last six games. Gobert has finished with double-digit boards 20 times this year.

Kessler chipped in 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds and five blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 125-108 win over the Nets.

Kessler had started just twice in 10 games since returning from a foot injury Nov. 22 before working with the first unit Monday. The second-year center made a strong case to remain in the first unit, producing his fifth double-double of the season and swatting five shots. Over his past three games as a starter, Kessler has averaged an impactful 10.7 points, 12.0 boards and 5.6 blocks.

Sims has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain.

Sims went down in the first half with the injury, and the team quickly announced that he'd been shut down for the rest fo the night. Look for Isaiah Hartenstein and Taj Gibson to get looks at center in Sims' absence.

Landale notched one rebound and one steal over four minutes during Monday's 135-130 overtime loss to Cleveland.

Landale failed to play more than 10 minutes for the eighth straight game, continuing his disappointing season. To this point, he is averaging just 8.5 minutes per contest, during which time he is doing very little to make us think he will be fantasy-relevant at all this season.

Jackson contributed 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 151-127 loss to the Clippers.

Jackson moved into the starting lineup Monday, replacing Myles Turner, who was ruled out due to a hamstring concern. The nature of the game meant Jackson was limited to just 25 minutes, although he still managed to deliver a serviceable fantasy line. It is unclear whether Turner will miss additional time as a result of the injury. Jackson is worth grabbing in standard leagues given he had been playing well prior to Turner going down.

Theis amassed four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes during Monday's 151-127 victory over the Pacers.

Theis played 22 minutes off the bench, the most he has played in almost two weeks. Although he has carved out a consistent role in Los Angeles, he has not been able to turn his playing time into tangible fantasy production. He has been outside the top 200 over the past month, averaging 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.

Zubac produced 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 26 minutes during Monday's 151-127 victory over Indiana.

Zubac made the most of a favorable matchup, grabbing a season-high 16 rebounds in his eighth double-double of the season. Although he rarely sets the world on fire with his production, Zubac has been a top 100 player over the past month. He typically provides rebounds and efficiency, although his block numbers have been a pleasant surprise.
