Claxton produced 12 points (6-8 FG), eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Suns.

With Day'Ron Sharpe sitting out with an illness, the Nets leaned heavily on Claxton at center Monday. Claxton continues to provide solid fantasy value in all formats, averaging 10.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 27.7 minutes per contest in nine games this month while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.

Reid (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

The 26-year-old big man is good to go after suffering a left shoulder injury in Saturday's loss to San Antonio. Over nine games in January, Reid has averaged 16.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest.

Kornet produced seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 123-110 victory over the Jazz.

Even though Kornet's fantasy value is taking a hit with Victor Wembanyama back in the starting lineup, the former is hanging on to relevance in a reserve role. Over his last five contests, Kornet has averaged 7.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 20.9 minutes per game.

Queta finished with 10 points (1-2 FG, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 104-103 loss to the Pistons.

Queta continues to churn out solid fantasy numbers as Boston's starting center. Across 40 regular-season appearances, he's currently returning eighth-round value in nine-category formats with 10.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Ware ended Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes.

While Monday was an efficient showing, Ware's fantasy ceiling remains capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo at center. Ware has come off the bench in six consecutive games, failing to log at least 20 minutes in any contest, though his upside is high enough that he remains worth rostering in most leagues.

Towns posted 22 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Towns was a bright spot for the Knicks in an otherwise brutal showing for the team. He's been playing at a top-50 valuation in nine-category formats over his last seven outings, posting averages of 18.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers.

Williams is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to right knee injury maintenance.

Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Williams may be held out for rest purposes. If Williams does end up playing, he could see his playing time managed more carefully after he handled a 29-minute workload in Monday's 126-117 win over the Nets. In the victory, Williams recorded 16 points (5-6 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals.

Allen supplied 16 points (4-8 FG, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 29 minutes during Monday's 136-104 loss to the Thunder.

Allen was a bright spot in the loss with a solid effort on both ends of the floor. He's been pretty underwhelming for the most part lately, as he's been an eighth-round value in nine-category formats over his last seven outings with 12.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks.

Post supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 21 minutes during Monday's 135-112 win over the Heat.

Post flirted with a double-double and turned in his most boards in a game so far this month. With Al Horford (toe) in line to sit out Tuesday against the Raptors, Post will be looking to build on Monday's encouraging showing.

Horford (toe) notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 135-112 victory over the Heat.

Although Horford is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Raptors, he was able to contribute across the board in Monday's victory. The veteran center hasn't started a game since Dec. 4 and remains a low-end option in deep fantasy leagues, reaching the 20-minute mark just twice in January.
