Wiseman had 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 loss to the Lakers.

Wiseman was an unexpected surprise considering Jalen Duren's form hold on the starting job. The duo split even minutes in the loss, but the metrics suggest that the increase is just a blip on the radar. The Pistons have little to play for, so we may see increased tinkering with the lineup after the All-Star break, and that could have a positive affect on Wiseman's totals.

Sabonis finished Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns with 35 points (14-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 18 rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks and one steal in 39 minutes.

Sabonis impressed while leading all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high trio of blocks en route to ending as one of two Kings players with 35 or more points in a triple-double outing. Sabonis has recorded at least 35 points in two games this season, adding at least 10 boards and 10 assists in both of those games. He has tallied a triple-double in 18 outings, including in five of his last six appearances.

Davis totaled 20 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and six blocks across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 win over Detroit.

Davis was dominant against the lowly Pistons, who couldn't keep up with the Lakers after a competitive first half. Davis' six blocks fell one short of a season high, and the All-Star increased his double-double streak to six games. The Lakers will take on Utah Wednesday in the final game before the All-Star break, and although Davis will play, he may see a slight drop in minutes to be fresh for the weekend's festivities in Indianapolis.

Gobert closed Tuesday's 121-109 win over Portland with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.

Gobert is on a six-game double-double streak and has hit those milestones against tough competition. He had less trouble against Deandre Ayton and the Portland frontcourt, although Ayton had 16 rebounds to Gobert's 15 boards. Minnesota will match up with Portland again Thursday, and Gobert should enjoy a similar stat line.

Claxton totaled 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 loss to the Celtics.

Claxton wasn't terrible in the loss but failed to reach any great heights. While he did come within two rebounds of a double-double, managers certainly would have expected more in this one. With that said, he has been fantastic this season and deserves a pass given the nature of the opposition.

Muscala isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers.

Simone Fontecchio will replace Muscala in the starting lineup Tuesday. Muscala is averaging 2.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.2 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Davis (Achilles/hip) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pistons, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with nagging injuries to his hip and Achilles. With Los Angeles on the first leg of a back-to-back, it wouldn't be surprising for Davis to play reduced minutes against a struggling Detroit team.

Reath (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

Reath missed the past two games for Portland, but he was considered probable to return before this update. Reath is expected to soak up the backup center minutes behind Deandre Ayton going forward.

Lopez (back) will play Tuesday versus Miami.

Damian Lillard (ankle) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play through their probable tags, while Lopez will shed a questionable tag to suit up for this contest. Lopez played 29 minutes Monday versus Denver, producing nine points, five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three triples in 29 minutes.

Horford is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Nets.

Horford will replace Kristaps Porzingis (back) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Horford is averaging 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.0 minutes across his last five starting appearances.
