  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Rockets' Jock Landale: Making most of limited minutes

    Landale accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 17 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 victory over the Kings.

    Landale continues to make the most of limited minutes, and he made his presence felt on both ends of the court during Sunday's win. Given that Alperen Sengun departed the game with a right lower-leg injury that forced him to leave the game in a wheelchair, Landale could be in line for a sizable uptick in his fantasy upside, especially if he can show the same versatility he's evidenced in recent outings but over a more prolonged stretch.

  • Raptors' Chris Boucher: Out against Denver

    Boucher (knee) won't play in Monday's game versus Denver, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The Raptors are expected to be shorthanded Monday, as Boucher joins Gary Trent (groin), Immanuel Quickley (hip), Jakob Poeltl (finger), Scottie Barnes (hand) and D.J. Carton (ankle) on the sideline. Kelly Olynyk will likely play significant minutes as Toronto's starting center, while two-way player Jontay Porter could reclaim a rotation spot as Olynyk's primary backup.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Sniffs another triple-double

    Sabonis had 25 points (10-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Rockets.

    Sabonis ended two assists away from recording his 23rd triple-double of the season. Still, at least he extended his double-double streak to 46 games -- the last time he didn't accomplish this feat was on a 131-117 loss to the Clippers on Nov. 29. Sabonis is averaging 22.2 points, 17.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game since the beginning of March. This kind of elite consistency has been unmatched in The Association this season.

  • Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Questionable with illness

    Jordan (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto.

    Jordan hasn't been in the rotation for a month, so his status doesn't carry many fantasy implications.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Posts impressive double-double

    Adebayo contributed 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to Washington.

    Adebayo grabbed at least 15 rebounds for the eighth time this season, and the big man made his presence felt on both ends of the court Sunday, though his efforts were not enough as the Wizards pulled a late comeback to get past Miami. Adebayo remains productive but hasn't been the regular double-double machine he's been in recent seasons. He has achieved that feat in just two of his nine appearances since the end of the All-Star break.

  • Hawks' Bruno Fernando: Stuffs stat sheet off bench

    Fernando had six points (3-5 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Pelicans.

    Fernando is not a player known for making a significant impact off the bench in fantasy formats, and he's probably on the wire in most leagues. Still, he certainly made his presence felt in this one, recording at least two tallies in every one of the five major categories while grabbing 11 boards -- the third time he pulled down double-digit boards across his last 10 games. His recent performances are worth monitoring, but he profiles as a streaming alternative for fantasy owners with depth issues at the center position in a best-case scenario, at least until Onyeka Okongwu (toe) returns to action.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Props up shorthanded frontcourt

    Reid supplied 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Lakers.

    Reid did all he could, but he was unable to contain Anthony Davis as the frontcourt folded without Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee). Reid put up a good number, a trend that should continue until the postseason, when Towns is scheduled to return. The Timberwolves stand a chance with Gobert in the lineup, but their frontcourt is extremely vulnerable with both big men on the sidelines.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Logs amazing numbers in victory

    Davis closed Sunday's 120-109 win over the Timberwolves with 27 points (9-17 FG, 9-13 FT), 25 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and seven steals in 39 minutes.

    It was a career night for Davis, who logged career highs in rebounds and steals. With Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) absent, Davis had a field day in the interior, and the Timberwolves were unable to stop him.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Grabs 15 boards in loss

    Carter recorded 13 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 111-97 loss to the Pacers.

    Carter's 15 rebounds marked a season high for the veteran. Although he's flirted with double-digit rebound totals several times, he's eclipsed that milestone just five times this season. Carter is nursing a persistent knee injury that's kept him on the injury report, so it's wise to confirm his status to ensure his presence in the starting lineup moving forward.

  • Raptors' Chris Boucher: Dealing with bruised knee

    Boucher is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Denver due to a bruised right knee.

    Boucher has stepped up over the last two games with Toronto missing key pieces in Scottie Barnes (hand) and Jakob Poeltl (finger), but he could be in danger of missing the first of the Raptors' four games in the week ahead. If Boucher is cleared to play, he should make for a relatively appealing streaming option given that he's totaled 27 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over his last two games (55 total minutes). Keep an eye out for an update at the shootaround Monday morning.
