  • Bam Adebayo C | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Leads with double-double in loss

    Adebayo finished Tuesday's 131-124 loss to Milwaukee with 31 points (13-27 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 42 minutes.

    Adebayo paved the way for Miami with a team-leading point total to go along with a team-high-tying rebound mark en route to a double-double performance. Adebayo, who set a season high in scoring, has recorded at least 30 points in two games this season. He's also notched a double-double in nine of his last 10 outings.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Grabs 16 rebounds in win

    Gobert finished Tuesday's 106-103 victory over Oklahoma City with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 36 minutes.

    Gobert continues to deliver strong performances night in and night out for the Timberwolves, and this was his fourth double-double across his last six appearances. While he's never going to have a go-to role on offense, Gobert has also been consistent on that front, scoring in double figures in each of those six aforementioned contests as well. Gobert is averaging 12.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in November.

  • Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Poor shooting display in win

    Towns logged 13 points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Thunder.

    The Timberwolves came away with the win against Oklahoma City, but Towns had a woeful shooting display, and his eight trips to the charity stripe played a crucial role in his final stat line. However, this was nothing more than an off night for the star big man, and he needs to bounce back quickly, as he's expected to hold a prominent role on offense against the Jazz on Thursday, especially if Anthony Edwards (hip) can't play.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Hawks' Clint Capela: Comes close to double-double

    Capela racked up 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-105 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Capela ended just one board shy of posting what would've been his fourth double-double over his last six outings, and the veteran big man continues to be a two-way threat while maintaining his place as Atlanta's starting center. Onyeka Okongwu has shown he could be in line for more minutes sooner than later, but until that happens, Capela will continue to have value in fantasy as an above-average rebounder and finisher near the rim. He's averaging 10.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in November.

  • Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Limited in victory Tuesday

    Hartenstein amassed four points (2-3 FG), six rebounds and two assists over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 115-91 victory over Charlotte.

    Hartenstein failed to hit 15 minutes for the fourth time in the past five games. Across 17 games to begin the season, he is averaging just 5.7 points and 4.9 rebounds in 17.0 minutes. Although he does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, he would need an injury to Mitchell Robinson to even sniff 12-team value.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Double-doubles in loss

    Williams logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 115-91 loss to New York.

    Williams produced a serviceable line in the loss, turning in his seventh double-double of the season. Despite playing only 26.7 minutes per game, it's been a relatively strong start to his sophomore campaign. Averaging 13.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.9 combined steals and blocks, Williams has been a top-50 player thus far. His value is heavily reliant on rebounds and efficiency, making him a must-roster player, albeit geared towards specific builds.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Celtics' Al Horford: Dominates in blowout win

    Horford recorded 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-97 victory over Chicago.

    Horford retained his spot in the starting lineup, filling in admirably for Kristaps Porzingis (calf). The veteran Horford turned back the clock, proving once again just how important he is to the Celtics. While Porzingis isn't slated to miss significant time, Horford is a clear must-roster player until we get word that his teammate is returning.

  • Mavericks' Richaun Holmes: Returns to bench

    Holmes isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets.

    Dereck Lively will replace Holmes in the starting lineup Tuesday. Holmes is averaging 3.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 8.8 minutes across his previous six appearances off the bench this season.

  • Heat's Thomas Bryant: Back to bench

    Bryant will return to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Bam Adebayo is back with the starting group after sitting out Saturday's game against the Nets with a hip injury. Bryant wasn't able to make the most of his spot start Saturday, posting two points, one rebound and one steal in 13 minutes.

  • Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Active Tuesday

    Lively (back) will play Tuesday against Dallas.

    Lively will return from a one-game absence due to a back contusion. He'll be a welcome addition to a Dallas frontcourt still lacking Maxi Kleber (toe). Dwight Powell and Richaun Holmes have uninspiringly split part-time duties, so Lively should reprise his alpha center role.
