Bitadze (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

After leaving Sunday's game against the 76ers early, Bitadze was held out of Tuesday's practice. The questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day, however. Jonathan Isaac is a candidate to step into a larger role if Bitadze can't go.

Bitadze (hip) did not practice Tuesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Bitadze left Sunday's game against the 76ers early and is dealing with a right hip contusion. The Magic will be releasing their injury report Tuesday afternoon or evening, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Magic slapped a questionable tag on the center. Jonathan Isaac could see more run if Bitadze is unable to give it a go.

Davis logged 30 points (13-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 126-102 loss to San Antonio.

The Lakers didn't have a good performance overall and looked overmatched in a 24-point defeat to the Spurs, but the star big man had an excellent individual showing. This was his sixth straight double-double, and he has scored at least 30 points three times during that stretch while averaging 27.2 points, 14.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals per game.

Wembanyama chipped in 23 points (10-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 126-102 win over the Lakers.

Fantasy managers should be used to seeing Wembanyama fill the stat sheet on a regular basis, but the Frenchman had perhaps one of his most productive performances of the season Monday. He recorded at least two tallies in each of the six major categories, and even though he didn't record a double-double, this was another impressive showing for the second-year big man. He's been on a tear of late, averaging 22.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, 3.8 blocks, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Zubac registered 21 points (10-13 FG, 1-3 FT), 20 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 109-98 win over the Heat.

Zubac recorded his second 20-20 performance of the season, matching his season-high mark in boards and recording the 20-point mark for the 12th time so far. The big man is having an outstanding year on both ends of the court and is putting up elite numbers across the board. Zubac is averaging 15.4 points, 14.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

Poeltl ended with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the Warriors.

it was Poeltl's 15th double-double of the season but his first since Dec. 9, ending an eight-game stretch in which he'd delivered either 10-plus points or boards, but not both at the same time. Since returning from a four-game absence in late December due to a groin strain, the veteran center is averaging 12.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 66.3 percent from the floor.

Ware totaled 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-98 loss to the Clippers.

The rookie big man out of Indiana notched a double-double for the first time in his career, and he took advantage of the absence of Bam Adebayo (back) to clear the 25-minute mark for the first time as well. Ware has scored in double digits in four of his last eight contests, a span in which he's averaging 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest.

Sengun registered 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Grizzlies.

Sengun's performance was a mixed bag. His efficiency was subpar, and he committed six turnovers, but he still made an impact on the rest of the stat sheet. Over the past seven games, the center hasn't been below 14 points, six rebounds or three assists, posting an average of 20.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.9 steals in 32.7 minutes.

Edey posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.

Edey's minutes have declined over the past two weeks while Memphis has regained nearly full health. Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.

Boucher finished with 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors.

Boucher has been running hot and cold all season. He's on a good stretch right now, racking up double-digit points in four straight outings, including 10 points in four minutes to kick things off. During these four performances, the veteran has averaged 16.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes while shooting 75.8 percent from the field -- much higher than his season-long efficiency of 49.6 percent.
