Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Teases triple-double in big win
Sengun posted 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 125-105 win over the Jazz.
The fifth-year center fell just short of his third triple-double of the season, and the 11th of his career. Sengun has seen his offense taper off a bit in February as the Rockets struggle to find enough shots for everyone, but through nine games this month, he's still averaging 17.7 points, 8.8 boards, 6.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Powers way to double-double
Duren totaled 25 points (10-13 FG, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 114-103 loss to the Spurs.
Duren performed well on the offensive end yet again Monday and has now hit on 66.7 percent of his field-goal attempts in two games since returning from a suspension. The 22-year-old also impressed on the glass and has secured a double-double in four of six February appearances. Duren will face another tough test against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Delivers another stellar showing
Wembanyama registered 21 points (6-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 114-103 win over the Pistons.
Wembanyama struggled with Detroit's physicality at times on the offensive end, as he appeared to be more concerned about drawing fouls rather than focusing on finishing at the basket. However, he still managed to reach the 20-point threshold despite hitting only six attempts from the field. Wembanyama was far more impressive in other areas, as he secured his best rebounding performance since Oct. 30 and dominated as a rim protector.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Tagged doubtful for Tuesday
Hayes (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Coach JJ Redick said earlier in the day that the team is considering Hayes day-to-day, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be cleared to suit up for Tuesday's clash. Maxi Kleber would slot in as the backup center if Hayes is downgraded to out.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Probable with ankle sprain
Kalkbrenner is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls with a sprained left ankle.
The rookie big man picked up the issue in Sunday's game against the Wizards, but it appears to be of minimal concern. Moussa Diabate is set to return from suspension Tuesday, which is likely to send Kalkbrenner to the bench. Kalkbrenner has started four straight games, averaging 8.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 blocks in 26.3 minutes per tilt.
