Vucevic closed with 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 129-118 loss to the Lakers.

Vucevic turned in an efficient performance from the field and finished as Chicago's fourth-leading scorer. The veteran big man also led all players in rebounds after grabbing single-digit boards in three straight games, securing his sixth double-double in January and 18th on the campaign. Additionally, he dished out five-plus assists for the sixth time in his last eight outings, and he's on pace to tie his career high of 3.8 dimes per contest.

Clingan ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 102-94 loss to the Celtics.

Clingan fell one point shy of compiling a second consecutive double-double, as he wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunities on the offensive end. The big man was a menace at the rim, managing to record his first multi-block game since Jan. 11. Clingan continues to provide strong production on the glass, grabbing double-digit rebounds in five of his previous six games.

Williams logged nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 102-94 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Williams saw plenty of opportunities to make an impact despite being bumped back to a bench role Monday night. The two-way center logged a season-high 26 minutes and contributed across the board, accounting for two of his team's four swats. It's worth noting that Luka Garza (illness) was unavailable Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Williams lose out on some playing time once Garza returns to health.

Sengun collected 33 points (15-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 108-99 victory over the Grizzlies.

Sengun tied Kevin Durant for the team lead in scoring, though it was Sengun who was far more efficient on the offensive end. This marks his best scoring performance since Dec. 15, when he put up 33 points against Denver. The 23-year-old has now reached the 30-point threshold five times in 37 appearances so far this season.

Post will start against the Timberwolves on Monday.

With Draymond Green (back) and Al Horford (toe) sidelined, Post will get the starting nod in the second leg of this back-to-back set. As a starter this season (31 games), the second-year center has averaged 9.0 points and 4.4 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per tilt.

Aldama will start Monday's game against the Rockets.

Aldama will return to action following a two-game absence due to right knee soreness and will enter the starting lineup in the absence of Jock Landale (personal). As a starter this season (nine games), Aldama has averaged 17.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes per contest.

Williams is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Monday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

The rookie second-rounder made his first NBA start against the Bulls on Saturday, though he logged just 10 minutes while recording two points, two rebounds and one block. Williams will revert to a bench role Monday while Neemias Queta (illness) returns to the starting lineup, and the former could lose out on rotational minutes due to the return of Josh Minott (ankle).

Queta is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Queta was deployed off the bench Saturday in favor of Amari Williams, but it'll be Williams who comes off the bench Monday night. Queta has scored in double figures in three of his last four starts, averaging 11.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.0 blocks over this stretch.

Nurkic (illness) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

After posting three consecutive triple-doubles, Nurkic is expected to sit out the front end of this back-to-back set due to an illness. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski and Kevin Love (knee), the latter who is listed as probable, would be candidates for increased playing time.

Aldama (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Aldama has been given the green light to return Monday from a two-game absence due to right knee soreness, and the fifth-year pro could move back into the Grizzlies' starting lineup in the absence of Jock Landale (personal). Aldama is averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 0.9 steals over 28.0 minutes per game this season.
