  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Walks to locker room

    Gafford went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers with an undisclosed injury, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Gafford checked out of the game with 9:08 remaining in the fourth and walked right past the bench and down the tunnel. It's unclear as to what might be ailing him, so he can be considered questionable to return until the team provides an update.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Productive outing in victory

    Turner recorded 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one assist across 31 minutes during Monday's 123-113 win over the Hornets.

    After averaging just 11.0 points per game on 31.1 percent shooting from the floor in his previous four games, Turner bounced back with one of his best performances of the campaign. The big man finished as Milwaukee's third-leading scorer, posting 20-plus points for the fifth time in 33 regular-season outings. He also led the squad in rebounds and blocks, tallying at least four swats for the third time this season.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Grabs seven boards

    Capela registered six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Monday's 126-119 victory over Indiana.

    Capela continues to play limited minutes, despite the fact Alperen Sengun remains out due to a calf injury. Although Capela's best is now behind him, an ankle injury to Steven Adams during Monday's game could potentially open up even more playing time for the veteran. If both Adams and Sengun are ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets, Capela could have some limited streaming appeal for fantasy managers in need of a boost in rebounds and blocks.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Flirts with double-double

    Claxton provided 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Warriors.

    Claxton turned in arguably his best two-way performance of the season, falling one rebound short of a double-double, while also adding a season-high six combined steals-plus-blocks. Claxton has been able to put together another productive campaign thus far. In 12 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 13.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks, which is good enough for top-40 value.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Strong showing in loss

    Wembanyama registered 26 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Wembanyama was one of the lone bright spots for San Antonio, pacing his team in scoring and rebounding. The big man has put together a pair of huge performances since returning to the starting lineup and is finally starting to see his workload increase after sitting around the 20-minute mark in his first five matchups since being cleared to return from a calf strain.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Drills season-high six treys

    Reid produced 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 136-101 victory over the Bulls.

    Reid played a key role in Minnesota's comeback win, leading the team in points and made triples in his best scoring night of the 2025-26 campaign. Monday's performance was much needed from Reid, who had been hitting at a clip of 25.5 percent from downtown in his previous six appearances.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Downgraded to out

    Adams has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. He totaled eight points (3-4 FG, 2-6 FT), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes prior to exiting.

    Adams departed Monday's action in the third quarter, and after being evaluated further, Houston has decided to shut the big man down for the night. His availability for Thursday's game in Brooklyn is up in the air at this point.

  • Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Won't return Monday

    Hukporti won't return to Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a mouth laceration.

    The big man sustained a cut in his mouth, and it seems the problem is severe enough to keep him sidelined for the rest of the game. He'll finish with no counting stats in 12 minutes of action off the bench. Hukporti's next chance to play will come Wednesday on the road against the Spurs.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Leaves for locker room

    Adams (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    It's unclear why Adams headed to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. With Alperen Sengun (calf) unavailable, Clint Capela should see increased playing time if Adams is unable to return.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Cleared to play Monday

    Williams (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

    After sitting out Sunday's win over Boston due to left knee injury management, Williams will return for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, the big man has averaged 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 17.6 minutes per contest.
