Wembanyama totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Minnesota.

Wembanyama led all Spurs players in rebounds and blocks while handing out a handful of assists and finishing as one of six players with a double-digit point total en route to a double-double outing. Wembanyama has posted a double-double in seven of his last 10 games and recorded four or more blocks in four straight contests.

Reid posted 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 victory over the Spurs.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (personal reasons) inactive, Reid saw extended time off the bench, leading all reserves in scoring and rebounds while ending as one of two Timberwolves players with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Reid has surpassed the 20-point mark in six games this season, adding five or more boards in five of those contests. All of those performances were off the bench for Reid, who has been one of the top producers on the second unit for Minnesota this year.

Gobert finished Tuesday's 114-105 victory over San Antonio with 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 39 minutes.

Gobert returned to the court after missing Minnesota's previous contest with a left ankle sprain, leading all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds while pacing the Timberwolves in blocks en route to a double-double performance. Gobert has recorded at least 10 points and 15 rebounds in 16 games this season, including in two straight outings. He has now tallied at least four blocks in 11 appearances.

Kessler notched 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Hawks.

It's the second-year center's first double-double since New Year's Day and his seventh of the season. Kessler's numbers have been disappointing in 2023-24 and he's taken a back seat in the Jazz frontcourt to John Collins, but the 22-year-old remains a strong rim protector -- he's recorded at least one block in 22 straight games, and he's racked up multiple rejections in nine of the last 11 contests.

Ayton (hand) is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Heat. He'll finish with 12 points (6-9 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 19 minutes.

Ayton had a dominant first half, posting a double-double before exiting due to a right hand sprain, which he sustained after the hard fall he took while drawing a charge from Kevin Love charge. Though X-rays on Ayton's hand came back negative, it's still unclear if he'll be available for the Trail Blazers' next game Friday in Memphis. Duop Reath and Jabari Walker will likely serve as Portland's primary options at center for the rest of Tuesday's contest.

Sims closed Tuesday's 115-92 loss to the Pelicans with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 30 minutes.

Sims moved into the starting lineup after Isaiah Hartenstein was ruled out as the Knicks continue to manage him through his recent Achilles injury. Outside of the seven rebounds and two blocks, Sims didn't offer much for managers. With Hartenstein likely to return against the Warriors on Thursday, Sims may once again fall off the fantasy radar.

Ayton is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Heat due to a right hand sprain.

Ayton began the second half in the locker room, with Duop Reath starting in his absence. Ayton likely suffered his injury after falling hard on his hand following a charge attempt by Kevin Love. While the 25-year-old big man returned to action shortly after, it appears that he is still dealing with the pain.

Holmes contributed one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 123-112 loss to the Warriors.

Holmes was barely noticeable in the loss, continuing his disappointing season. Despite being traded to a more favorable situation in Washington, Holmes has played fewer than 15 minutes in all five games. Given what we have seen during his time with the Wizards, there is no reason to consider him a serviceable fantasy asset.

Davis is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

This is the usual probable tag that Davis carries, but he's also dealing with an illness, which forced him to miss practice Tuesday. For now, fantasy managers can expect the big man to suit up against the Clippers, though he may not be at 100 percent.

Gobert (ankle) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Antonio.

Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Minnesota's previous contest with a left ankle sprain. The defensive stalwart is averaging 15.2 points, 13.7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.3 assists in 34.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
