Claxton had 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 120-101 victory over the Cavaliers.

Claxton led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of four Nets with 15 or more points en route to a double-double. Claxton has been a double-double machine for Brooklyn, reaching that feat in five of his last six contests.

Reid will start Sunday night's game against the Lakers.

With both Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (hamstring) sidelined, Reid will move into the starting five at center for the first time all season. The big man has developed into one of the better sixth men in the league, and he's coming off of a monster, 34-point, five-rebound, two-assist, two-block effort in Friday's loss to the Cavs. The LSU product finished that contest with seven made threes on 11 attempts.

Gobert (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Lakers.

The big man was added to the injury report earlier in the day with a tight hamstring, and he'll ultimately be held out as the Wolves take a cautious approach. Minnesota is also down Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Kyle Anderson (shoulder), so it should be a high-minute night for Naz Reid up front.

Davis (shoulder) will play in Sunday's tilt against the Timberwolves, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was considered a game-time decision due to left shoulder soreness but will ultimately play through the issue. Barring a setback, look for the star big man to handle his usual workload.

Sengun required assistance of the court with a wheelchair during Sunday's 112-104 win over the Kings after sustaining a right lower leg injury in the final minute of the fourth quarter, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. He posted 14 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes prior to his departure.

Sengun appeared to land awkwardly on his leg while attempting to contest a Domantas Sabonis transition layup late in regulation. He'll undergo an MRI on Monday to further examine both his right knee and ankle, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. It's too early to speculate as to how much time Sengun could miss, but fantasy managers should be prepared to be without the big man for at least the week ahead, if not longer.

Porzingis (hamstring) will not play in Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis' absence will mark his second straight, as he was a late scratch before Saturday's win over the Suns. The rest of the Celtics' starting lineup is listed as questionable, so depth could be an issue in Portland. In Porzingis' absence, Al Horford, Xavier Tillman and Luke Kornet could see some increased minutes at center.

Zubac amassed 18 points (9-11 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-117 loss to Milwaukee.

With Kawhi Leonard (groin) and Paul George (knee) sidelined, Zubac was the second-leading scorer for the Clippers on Sunday. Zubac entered the contest with the third-highest field-goal percentage in the NBA at 65.1 percent behind Daniel Gafford and Jakob Poeltl. Despite not being a main offensive option, Zubac is averaging a career-high 11.7 points per game to go along with 9.2 rebounds this season.

Lively (personal) is absent from the Mavericks' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Warriors.

Lively missed Saturday's game against the Pistons for personal reasons. He rejoined Dallas for Sunday's practice, which means this progression in his status makes sense. Barring any unforeseen setback, the big man should be available for his usual workload.

Wembanyama (ankle) isn't listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Wembanyama will return to action Monday after missing the last two games due to a right ankle sprain. The rookie may be limited in his first game back, but he'll likely still start, pushing Zach Collins back to a bench role. Before his absence, Wembanyama recorded seven straight double-doubles and averaged 22.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 5.3 blocks and 2.3 steals in 30.9 minutes during that stretch.

Lively (personal) rejoined the Mavericks for practice Sunday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lively missed Saturday's 142-124 win over the Pistons while tending to the personal matter, but his presence at practice a day later bodes well for his chances of playing Monday in Chicago. If available, Lively could be part of a messy three-man timeshare at center with Daniel Gafford and Maxi Kleber.
