Claxton closed with 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-111 overtime loss to Utah.

Claxton was active on both ends of the court and notched his third double-double across seven appearances this month. The big man is averaging 12.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

Jokic logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 victory over Dallas.

Jokic delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court, and the star big man finished just one assist away from recording yet another triple-double. Jokic has grabbed more than 15 rebounds in a whopping 11 games this season, and it's easy to run out of adjectives to describe how impressive he's been throughout the campaign. He's averaging 32.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 11.6 assists per game over his five appearances this month.

Hartenstein produced 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 136-95 victory over the Wizards.

The double-double was Hartenstein's 15th of the season, which is already a new career high. The 26-year-old center has been a somewhat inconsistent offensive contributor in January, scoring in single digits in three of the last six games, but he hasn't pulled down fewer than eight boards since Dec. 3 -- a stretch of 17 straight contests in which he's averaging 11.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 55.5 percent from the floor.

Turner accumulated 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 victory over Cleveland.

It was the veteran center's first double-double in January and his seventh of the season. Turner is averaging 15.4 points, 6.8 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.8 threes, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals through five appearances on the month while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor, and his 2.1 rejections per game on the season put him fourth in the NBA behind Victor Wembanyama, Walker Kessler and Anthony Davis.

Horford closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 victory over New Orleans.

Horford once again showcased his value coming off the bench Sunday, tallying bench-high-tying marks in scoring and rebounds in a balanced performance. Horford reached double figures in scoring for the first time since Dec. 27, now having done so on 11 occasions this year. He has now hauled in seven or more boards in nine outings.

Porzingis ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 win over the Pelicans.

Porzingis had a strong outing Sunday, getting it done on both ends of the floor while finishing as one of two players with a double-double. Porzingis led all Celtics in blocks while recording team-high-tying marks in threes made and rebounds in a winning effort. Porzingis matched his season high in rebounds, which he'd originally established Tuesday against Denver. All three of Porzingis' double-doubles this season have transpired within the last three games.

Sabonis provided 22 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 victory over the Bulls.

Sabonis once again did it all for Sacramento in Sunday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points and ending two assists short of a triple-double. Sabonis has recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 10 outings this season, doing so in three of his last four contests.

Davis (foot) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has played through left plantar fasciitis over the Lakers' last three games, and over that span he averaged 23.0 points, 14.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 36.7 minutes per contest. The Lakers last two games have been suspended due to the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area, but Michael Wright of ESPN.com reported Sunday that Monday's game is expected to be played.

Eubanks is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nets on Sunday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Eubanks will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Sunday due to the absence of Walker Kessler (rest). Over his last four outings, Eubanks has averaged 5.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 17.5 minutes per game.

Bitadze exited with 2:38 remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's 104-99 win over the 76ers and didn't return after being diagnosed with a right hip contusion.

The Magic initially labeled Bitadze as questionable to return, but Wendell Carter opened the second half with the starting unit while Bitadze never checked back into the game. Along with Carter, Jonathan Isaac (27 minutes) also saw a spike in playing time as a result of Bitadze's early exit. Bitadze finished with four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, two blocks, two steals and one assist in 12 minutes prior to departing the game.
