Valanciunas notched six points (3-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 147-123 loss to Miami.

Nikola Jokic left this game with a knee injury and looked to be in a lot of discomfort. If he ends up missing any time, Valanciunas is the next man up for Denver and would likely slot in as the fill-in starter. If that happens, his per-minute upside would make him an obvious grab in fantasy hoops.

Gobert finished Monday's 136-101 victory over the Bulls with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.

Gobert nearly recorded his 14th double-double, and he notched four blocks for the fourth time this season. The former Jazz big man has been a beast on the boards during December, leading the league with 12.3 rebounds per game, to go with 12.5 points, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks in 31.6 minutes across 13 appearances.

Bagley ended Monday's 115-101 loss to the Suns with seven points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 22 minutes.

Alex Sarr had a nightmare showing in 25 minutes, while Bagley had a much better outing this time around. Sarr is the future of the center spot in Washington, so despite this dud, the Wizards will give him every opportunity to keep developing. Bagley remains one of the better backup centers in the NBA currently.

Okongwu recorded 26 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 140-129 loss to Oklahoma City.

Okongwu turned in a great offensive performance, although he was unable to keep Chet Holmgren from posting a high number. Okongwu has eight double-doubles, and he logged 14 rebounds for a second consecutive game. He's not averaging a double-double, but his production remains solid, averaging 16.4 points and 7.8 rebounds over 33 games.

Richards logged two points (1-8 FG), nine rebounds and three blocks over 17 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the Wizards.

With Mark Williams serving a one-game suspension, Richards saw his largest workload since Nov. 24. The veteran has become expendable in Phoenix, and he's likely to draw some interest from contending teams ahead of the deadline.

Vucevic provided 23 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 136-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Vucevic took on a bigger load as a scorer with both Coby White (calf) and Josh Giddey (hamstring) leaving the game early. The veteran center led the Bulls in scoring on the night, drilling three shots from downtown for the first time since Nov. 22 against the Wizards. The 35-year-old has taken a small step back this season but has remained solid during December, averaging 15.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 threes in 29 minutes per game across 13 contests.

Holmgren posted 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 30 minutes during Monday's 140-129 win over Atlanta.

Holmgren came one rebound shy of his sixth double-double of the season during the victory. He's been very effective off the glass while Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) recovers from a calf injury, and Holmgren logged 30 minutes in the effort with Jaylin Williams (heel) also sidelined. Holmgren should be considered a solid source of rebounds whenever Hartenstein is out.

Kornet racked up 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

Although Kornet was a direct replacement for Victor Wembanyama during the game, the duo actually shared the floor for a few minutes in the first quarter. The team was quite effective in this setup, as they closed the gap with a 14-3 run to end the quarter. This could be a scheme that the Spurs could utilize more frequently in the future, as the scenario benefited both players.

Allen contributed 27 points (11-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Spurs.

Allen led the team with 27 points, and he was very effective opposite Victor Wembanyama, who had a productive game but was unsuccessful in containing the veteran big man. Allen was aided by the return of Evan Mobley to the starting lineup, and the former logged his fifth double-double of the season after two uninspiring performances last week.

Gafford (undisclosed) returned to Monday's game against the Trail Blazers with 6:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.

Gafford briefly exited to the locker room earlier in the quarter but returned to the bench shortly thereafter. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game after checking back in.
