Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable against Dallas
Williams is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas due to left knee injury management.
The Trail Blazers are considering holding Williams out for the second half of their back-to-back set. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath could split the backup center minutes if Williams is sidelined.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Spotted at shootaround
Davis (adductor) was present for Monday's morning shootaround, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News.
Davis' presence perhaps puts him on the right side of the questionable tag for Monday's game against Portland with right adductor soreness. If the star big man is available, Daniel Gafford would almost certainly revert back to the bench.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Won't play Monday
Hartenstein won't play Monday against the Hawks due to a left soleus strain.
Hartenstein left Sunday's game early and was unable to return, and the Thunder are expectedly going to sit the center Monday. For now, he can be considered questionable for Wednesday against the Trail Blazers while more clarity is gathered on the severity of this issue. The Thunder could utilize some smaller lineups Monday with Jaylin Williams (heel) still out.

Jay Huff C | IND
Pacers' Jay Huff: Will play Monday
Huff (ankle) will play Monday against the Rockets.
Huff was previously listed as questionable, but he's yet to miss a game this season and will play through the issue Monday. The center holds averages of 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five outings.

Dylan Cardwell C | SAC
Kings' Dylan Cardwell: Fares well off bench
Cardwell closed with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds and three steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 loss to the Lakers.
With Domantas Sabonis (knee) on the shelf indefinitely and Drew Eubanks (thumb) out of action Sunday, Cardwell emerged as a quality low-end pickup in fantasy hoops. Over his last six games, he's averaging 5.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks in 21.5 minutes per contest. However, he's likely to split time between the NBA and G League moving forward.

Maxime Raynaud C | SAC
Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Logs solid double-double in loss
Raynaud logged 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 loss to the Lakers.
Raynaud is making the most of his moment as Sacramento's temporary replacement for Domantas Sabonis, and the rookie is cementing his profile as the best solution under the basket after an uninspiring turn from Drew Eubanks (thumb). Raynaud is a favorite to retain the role when Eubanks returns, and he will be an intriguing waiver add to consider for January.

Deandre Ayton C | LAL
Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Posts double-double in victory
Ayton finished Sunday's 125-101 win over the Kings with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes.
Ayton found his way to his 12th double-double this season after posting only two rebounds against Houston earlier in the week. Coach JJ Redick didn't name names, but he had some harsh words for his team after the loss to Houston. Ayton might have been one of his targets, as the big man often shows a lack of hustle despite grabbing his share of rebounds.

Jalen Duren C | DET
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Records double-double during loss
Duren finished with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 loss to the Clippers.
Although it was impossible for the Pistons to fend off Kawhi Leonard's historic night, the team found some success in the paint, with Duren outrebounding Brook Lopez under the basket with relative ease. It was a nice bounce-back outing for Duren, who was neutralized by Utah's frontcourt earlier in the week.
