Porzingis recorded 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 victory over the Bulls.

The veteran big man continues to have trouble staying healthy -- it's been Porzingis' heel that's been bothering him of late, limiting him to 11 minutes in a Dec. 15 contest against the Wizards -- but when he's been on the court, he's been his usual productive self. He's scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 19.9 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch.

Zubac closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-97 loss to Dallas.

Zubac led all Clippers on the glass in Saturday's contest, hauling in a game-best rebound total and concluding as the lone Los Angeles player with a double-double in a losing effort. Zubac has hauled in 15 or more boards eight times this season, recording a double-double in seven of those contests.

Lively racked up 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 113-97 victory over the Clippers.

Lively led the way for Dallas in the paint Saturday, leading all Mavericks in rebounds and blocks while adding a pair of steals and concluding as the lone player with a double-double. Lively has recorded a double-double in five contests this season, hauling in 10 or more boards in eight outings.

Sabonis produced 19 points (9-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 19 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers.

Sabonis has been dealing with a back injury as of late, resulting in him being questionable until right before tip-off Saturday, but he took the court and dominated by leading all Kings in rebounds while ending one point and one board shy of a 20-20 outing. Sabonis has hauled in 19 or more rebounds in three outings, with his current season high sitting at 20 rebounds, which he has recorded twice.

Davis closed Saturday's 103-99 win over the Kings with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 37 minutes.

Davis held things down in the paint for Los Angeles, leading all players in rebounds and blocks while ending second on the team in assists and as the lone player with a double-double. Davis has hauled in at least 15 boards in six contests, doing so in two straight outings. He has secured a double-double in 20 contests so far this year.

Duren closed with 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 133-125 victory over the Suns.

Duren logged his ninth double-double of the season and seems to be past the wrist injury that caused an absence last week. His 34 minutes on the court marked his second-highest minute total of the season, which is an encouraging sign for the third-year pro after logging a 26-game average of five fewer minutes per contest compared to his sophomore campaign.

Collins ended Saturday's 105-94 win over the Nets with 13 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes.

Collins recorded his first double-double in almost a month, albeit a low-volume one. Since moving into the starting lineup in early November, Collins has been arguably the most consistent performer for the Jazz. Over the past month, he has averaged 17.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.8 combined steals and blocks in 33.2 minutes per game.

Eubanks produced zero points (0-2 FT) and three rebounds across nine minutes during Saturday's 105-94 win over the Nets.

Eubanks underwhelming season continued Saturday, having now scored more than five points only five times in the first 22 games. To this point, he is averaging just 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game, playing as a backup option behind Walker Kessler.

Gobert ended Saturday's 113-103 loss to Golden State with 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.

It was the 12th double-double of the season for Gobert, who supplied a full stat line for the Timberwolves on Saturday. Since the calendar turned to December, Gobert is averaging 11.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 66.0 percent from the floor over nine outings. The 32-year-old star big man may not offer fantasy managers much in the way of outside scoring and playmaking, but Gobert is shooting a career-high 72.9 percent from the charity stripe on the season and remains an elite source of swats and boards along with a high field-goal percentage.

Jackson-Davis registered 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over the Timberwolves.

After coming off the bench in each of his last six appearances, Jackson-Davis played a season-high 26 minutes and delivered a full stat line but struggled with foul trouble when returning to the first unit. With Draymond Green (ankle) sidelined, the Warriors rolled with Jackson-Davis and Kyle Anderson in the starting frontcourt. Jackson-Davis is now averaging 8.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 17.9 minutes per game over 19 contests as a starter this year. It's unknown if coach Steve Kerr will stick with the 24-year-old big man in the starting lineup going forward, as it's worth noting Golden State may have opted for more size at center in a matchup with the physical Rudy Gobert on Saturday, but Jackson-Davis is worth a speculative add in fantasy leagues for managers who seek swats, boards and a high field-goal percentage.
