Neemias Queta C | BOS
Celtics' Neemias Queta: Receiving rest Monday
The Celtics have ruled out Queta for Monday's game against the Bucks for rest purposes.
Queta will get a well-deserved breather one day after posting a career-high 27 points and grabbing 17 boards in a 114-98 win over the 76ers. In Queta's absence, Nikola Vucevic will likely draw his first start since joining the Celtics ahead of the trade deadline, while Luka Garza could re-enter the rotation as Vucevic's primary backup.

Nick Richards C | CHI
Bulls' Nick Richards: Decent line off bench
Richards registered 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 victory over the Bucks.
Richards continues to see an expanded role for the Bulls with so many injuries in the frontcourt. Guerschon Yabusele is holding down the fort as the starting center, but Richards is getting enough burn with the second unit to make an impact in deeper fantasy formats.

Moussa Cisse C | DAL
Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Hauls in 12 boards off bench
Cisse finished Sunday's 100-87 loss to Oklahoma City with zero points (0-1 FG) and 12 rebounds in 21 minutes.
Cisse collected double-digit boards for the fifth time this year. The 23-year-old big man is a two-way player for the Mavericks and has a limited number of games he can be available at the NBA level, unless Dallas converts him to a standard deal at some point.

Karl-Anthony Towns C | NY
Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in win
Towns notched 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 114-89 win over the Spurs.
The Knicks handled business early, resulting in a lower workload for Towns. Despite this dud, Towns has been very solid in recent games. Over his last six appearances, he's producing top-25 value in nine-category fantasy formats with 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Jay Huff C | IND
Pacers' Jay Huff: Drawing steady starts
Huff finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and three blocks in 28 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to Memphis.
Huff's role has fluctuated in 2025-26, but he's settling back into a starting spot. The journeyman big man has started seven straight contests, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor.

Khaman Maluach C | PHO
Suns' Khaman Maluach: Rejoins Phoenix
Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Sunday.
Maluach will rejoin the Suns ahead of Tuesday's game at Sacramento after he played 33 minutes for the G League club in Saturday's 112-105 win over the Texas Legends. With Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro ahead of him on the depth chart at center, Maluach is unlikely to be in line for anything more than garbage-time minutes Tuesday.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Hawks' Jock Landale: Plays well off bench
Landale finished with 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Sunday's 135-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Landale continues to excel as the backup center in Atlanta. Over his last six games, he's averaging 9.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 42.3 percent shooting in 18.9 minutes per contest.

Dwight Powell C | DAL
Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Sniffs double-double
Powell logged nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder.
Powell made the most of his 21-minute cameo Sunday and finished just one point and one rebound away from posting a double-double. That said, Powell has played off the bench in his last 12 appearances but is averaging only 10.7 minutes per contest. Even if his last two outings are encouraging, he's not seeing the floor enough to be considered a reliable fantasy alternative even in the deepest formats.

Andre Drummond C | PHI
76ers' Andre Drummond: Posts double-double in spot start
Drummond produced 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.
Drummond got the start Sunday due to the absence of Joel Embiid (oblique), and the veteran big man made his presence felt with his second double-double since the All-Star break. Drummond's playing time is directly tied to Embiid's availability, so while he can be a solid contributor in most formats when he gets enough playing time, he's a solid streaming option at best if Embiid is healthy in most games. Drummond is averaging 8.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game as a starter compared to 4.9 points and 6.5 boards per contest when coming off the bench.

Onyeka Okongwu C | ATL
Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Monster line in win
Okongwu totaled 25 points (9-15 FG, 7-12 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 135-101 win over the Trail Blazers.
This was a tremendous showing for Okongwu as the Hawks improved to 31-31 on the season. Okongwu trails only Jalen Johnson in fantasy value for nine-category formats in Atlanta, posting averages of 16.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers.
