    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Flirts with double-double in win

    Holmgren posted 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 30 minutes during Monday's 140-129 win over Atlanta.

    Holmgren came one rebound shy of his sixth double-double of the season during the victory. He's been very effective off the glass while Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) recovers from a calf injury, and Holmgren logged 30 minutes in the effort with Jaylin Williams (heel) also sidelined. Holmgren should be considered a solid source of rebounds whenever Hartenstein is out.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Lends support under basket

    Kornet racked up 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Although Kornet was a direct replacement for Victor Wembanyama during the game, the duo actually shared the floor for a few minutes in the first quarter. The team was quite effective in this setup, as they closed the gap with a 14-3 run to end the quarter. This could be a scheme that the Spurs could utilize more frequently in the future, as the scenario benefited both players.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Solid in frontcourt during win

    Allen contributed 27 points (11-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Spurs.

    Allen led the team with 27 points, and he was very effective opposite Victor Wembanyama, who had a productive game but was unsuccessful in containing the veteran big man. Allen was aided by the return of Evan Mobley to the starting lineup, and the former logged his fifth double-double of the season after two uninspiring performances last week.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Returns Monday

    Gafford (undisclosed) returned to Monday's game against the Trail Blazers with 6:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.

    Gafford briefly exited to the locker room earlier in the quarter but returned to the bench shortly thereafter. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game after checking back in.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Walks to locker room

    Gafford went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers with an undisclosed injury, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Gafford checked out of the game with 9:08 remaining in the fourth and walked right past the bench and down the tunnel. It's unclear as to what might be ailing him, so he can be considered questionable to return until the team provides an update.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Productive outing in victory

    Turner recorded 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one assist across 31 minutes during Monday's 123-113 win over the Hornets.

    After averaging just 11.0 points per game on 31.1 percent shooting from the floor in his previous four games, Turner bounced back with one of his best performances of the campaign. The big man finished as Milwaukee's third-leading scorer, posting 20-plus points for the fifth time in 33 regular-season outings. He also led the squad in rebounds and blocks, tallying at least four swats for the third time this season.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Grabs seven boards

    Capela registered six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Monday's 126-119 victory over Indiana.

    Capela continues to play limited minutes, despite the fact Alperen Sengun remains out due to a calf injury. Although Capela's best is now behind him, an ankle injury to Steven Adams during Monday's game could potentially open up even more playing time for the veteran. If both Adams and Sengun are ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets, Capela could have some limited streaming appeal for fantasy managers in need of a boost in rebounds and blocks.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Flirts with double-double

    Claxton provided 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Warriors.

    Claxton turned in arguably his best two-way performance of the season, falling one rebound short of a double-double, while also adding a season-high six combined steals-plus-blocks. Claxton has been able to put together another productive campaign thus far. In 12 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 13.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks, which is good enough for top-40 value.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Strong showing in loss

    Wembanyama registered 26 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Wembanyama was one of the lone bright spots for San Antonio, pacing his team in scoring and rebounding. The big man has put together a pair of huge performances since returning to the starting lineup and is finally starting to see his workload increase after sitting around the 20-minute mark in his first five matchups since being cleared to return from a calf strain.

  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Drills season-high six treys

    Reid produced 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 136-101 victory over the Bulls.

    Reid played a key role in Minnesota's comeback win, leading the team in points and made triples in his best scoring night of the 2025-26 campaign. Monday's performance was much needed from Reid, who had been hitting at a clip of 25.5 percent from downtown in his previous six appearances.
