Huff accumulated 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 97-95 loss to the Raptors.

Huff blocked three shots Wednesday, bringing his total over the past 12 games to 29 blocks. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Huff has been able to put himself on the standard league radar, averaging 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 24.1 minutes per game over the past three contests. He is worth a look if you are in need of some rim protection on your fantasy squad.

Hartenstein had 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 win over the Timberwolves.

Hartenstein was held to just seven points on 3-for-9 shooting in his previous outing, so it was nice to see him come through with a more efficient scoring performance. The big man is flirting with top-50 value on the year behind averages of 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per contest, although some of these numbers could dip a bit once Jalen Williams (wrist) works his way back to the court.

Holmgren closed with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 win over the Timberwolves.

While Holmgren struggled with his shot for most of the game, he came through when it mattered most, as he drilled a clutch triple with under a minute left to put the Thunder up for good. Head coach Mark Daigneault heaped praise on him after the match, calling Holmgren's late three-ball the "shot of the game," according to Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site. With the win, the Thunder became just the fifth team in NBA history to open the season 18-1.

Adebayo notched 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the Bucks.

Adebayo played alongside Andrew Wiggins in the frontcourt instead of Kel'el Ware, meaning he had to deal with Myles Turner on both ends of the court, but he still posted a solid stat line. This was Adebayo's sixth double-double of the season -- and second over his last three games. He's also on a run of scoring at least 17 points in five straight contests.

Turner finished Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Heat with 24 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes.

Turner finished just two boards away from recording what would've been his third double-double in his last four appearances. The veteran big man has been tasked with handling a bigger workload on offense due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin), but the results had been inconsistent until this outing. This 24-point output was a new season-high mark for Turner, but he's cleared the 20-point mark just three times all season long. Turner can deliver steady numbers, but he's not expected to carry the Bucks' offense any time soon, especially with the emergence of Ryan Rollins as a reliable go-to offensive weapon this season.

Williams is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Kings on Wednesday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Williams was cleared to play Wednesday after sitting out Monday's game against the Kings due to right knee injury management. Across 10 games since Nov. 2, Williams has averaged 12.3 points on 66.7 percent shooting, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.

Richards will come off the bench Wednesday against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Richards started Monday with Mark Williams taking a rest day, but Williams will return to the starting lineup Wednesday, shifting Richards back to the second unit. Through 16 games as a reserve this season, Richards owns averages of 4.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game.

Towns logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during the Knicks' 129-101 win over the Hornets on Wednesday.

Towns led the Knicks in rebounds Wednesday and finished tied with Miles McBride for the second-most points on the team behind Jalen Brunson (33). Towns is up to 15 double-doubles on the year, which is second most in the Association behind Nikola Jokic (16). Towns has averaged 24.3 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.4 minutes per game since Nov. 2.

Edey (head) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Edey had been leaning toward suiting up, and he'll wind up playing. The second-year center had been averaging 12.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals across 25.3 minutes per game before departing Monday's game early due to a head injury.

Sims is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Heat on Wednesday.

Sims made his first start of the season Monday against the Trail Blazers, though he played just 11 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt while Gary Trent enters the Bucks' starting five.
