Allen finished Monday's 118-108 victory over the Clippers with 20 points (6-9 FG, 8-11 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes.

After a bumpy start to the campaign, the 25-year-old center has reeled off 15 straight double-doubles, averaging 18.9 points, 14.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over that stretch while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor. Allen's overall numbers are still within his usual range, but he appears headed for a breakout campaign if he can stay healthy.

Jemison agreed to a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards just expired, and the Grizzlies moved quickly to bring him aboard to add some much-needed depth to the frontcourt. Before his brief stint in Washington, Jemison had spent this season in the G League with the Birmingham Squadron, with whom he averaged 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks in 31.6 minutes per game over 25 appearances.

Holmgren logged four points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 107-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Holmgren had a quiet game offensively in a battle of the top teams in the Western Conference on Monday, struggling from the field while failing to reach double figures in scoring. He salvaged his production by hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and leading the team with a trio of blocks. Holmgren tied a season-low point total in the defeat, ending in single digits in scoring for the seventh time this year and for the third time in his last five contests.

Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Washington will have the option of bringing Jemison back on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the team intends to keep its 15-man roster spot open for the undrafted rookie center. With Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley ahead of him in the pecking order at center, Jemison was limited to a pair of one-minute appearances over his week-and-a-half-long stay with Washington. If Jemison isn't re-signed, he'll likely head back to the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing prior to catching on with the Wizards on the 10-day deal.

Towns contributed 21 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 107-101 victory over the Thunder.

Towns led the Timberwolves with a half-dozen assists while ending as one of two players with 10 or more rebounds along with surpassing the 20-point mark in a well-rounded double-double. Towns has handed out six or more dimes in four games this season while notching at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in two outings.

Gobert recorded 12 points (6-6 FG, 0-1 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 107-101 victory over the Thunder.

Gobert led all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of six Timberwolves with a double-digit point total in a double-double performance. Gobert, who ended two boards shy of the 20-rebound mark, has hauled in 18 or more rebounds in six games this year and has now posted a double-double in nine of his last 10 outings.

Jokic totaled 25 points (10-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 113-107 victory over the Bucks. He had three turnovers.

Jokic's 27 true shot attempts marked his seventh-largest workload of the season. The interior defense of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the most formidable frontcourts in the league for defending Jokic, but he still posted a triple-double by the end of the third quarter. His two-man game with Jamal Murray (35 points) is in peak form, which is the epitome of a potent offense.

Lopez contributed 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 113-107 loss to Denver.

Lopez was beckoning for the ball in the final minutes of the game, catching and firing with confidence as Milwaukee's offense stalled down the stretch. Lopez is on a heater, canning 11 threes across his past two games following a seven-game stretch of 28.0 percent shooting from deep. His shot volume in January has increased, averaging 10.9 shots per game versus 9.2 in December.

Sabonis amassed 20 points (10-11 FG), 26 rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 103-94 win over Memphis.

Sabonis was a beast on the glass, bringing in a season-high 26 rebounds. He scored at least 20 points for the first time in his past five games, rounding out another impressive performance. Despite his gaudy numbers, Sabonis' lack of defensive contributions continues to drag down his overall rank. If you are rostering him, simply be aware that he will continue to be a negative when it comes to both blocks and steals.

McGee chipped in eight points (4-5 FG) and four rebounds over 10 minutes during Monday's 103-94 win over Memphis.

McGee went 4-for-5 from the field, playing exactly 10 minutes for the third time in the past four games. While it is good to see McGee out on the floor, his days of being a fantasy-relevant player are well behind him. Barring an injury to Domantas Sabonis, McGee is not worth adding in any format.
