  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Records double-double in loss

    Clingan finished Monday's 110-102 loss to Detroit with 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 34 minutes.

    Clingan kept pace with Jalen Duren for most of the contest, but he was unable to contain the Detroit big man in the closing minutes. He was a key part of the fourth-quarter rally that erased a 21-point deficit, but he withered with the rest of the unit on the defensive end while the Pistons completed an 11-2 run at the end of the game.

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Paces team with 26 points

    Duren totaled 26 points (11-15 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over the Trail Blazers.

    Duren shook off a shoulder injury and helped spur the Pistons to a huge lead, only to squander it after Cade Cunningham fouled out midway through the fourth quarter. Duren logged four points, five rebounds and one block in the final stanza to help bring Detroit back from the brink.

    Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Double-doubles in start

    Landale closed with 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 119-103 loss to the Thunder.

    With Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) sidelined, Landale got the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 12. The Australian big man was productive on the glass against a banged-up Thunder frontcourt, recording a game-high-tying 10 rebounds en route to his second double-double over his last three appearances. Landale should have a clear path to significant playing time for the foreseeable future, with both Edey and Clarke expected to miss an extended period.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Season-low 13 minutes

    Filipowski ended Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes.

    Filipowski's role went from bad to worse Monday, logging a season-low 13 minutes, including just three minutes in the first half. Over his last three games, Filiowski is averaging just 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per contest, well below what fantasy managers are hoping for. There is still reason to believe his role will escalate at some point, although knowing when is proving difficult. At this stage, he should be viewed as more of a stash than a must-roster player.

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Triple-doubles in victory

    Jokic generated 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists, three blocks and two steals across 29 minutes in Monday's 135-112 win over the Jazz.

    Jokic had a limited impact in the scoring column but still stuffed the stat sheet in three quarters Monday. The three-time MVP led the Nuggets in rebounds and assists en route to his third triple-double over his last four games and 14th on the campaign. He was also productive on the defensive end, recording a game- and season-high three blocks with a game-high-tying two steals.

  • Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Massive double-double in loss

    Davis logged 35 points (16-28 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during the Mavericks' 119-113 loss to the Pelicans on Monday.

    Davis came out firing with 22 points in the first half to help the Mavericks establish a six-point lead heading into halftime, albeit in a losing effort. The superstar big man has registered a double-double in each of his last four outings and is up to 10 double-doubles on the year. In eight games since Dec. 1, Davis has averaged 22.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals over 31.8 minutes per game while shooting 51.0 percent from the field over that span.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Enters starting five

    Landale is starting Monday's game against the Thunder.

    Landale will draw his first start since Nov. 12 after averaging 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five appearances, which all came off the bench. He spent the first 13 games of the season as a starter, so this is a role he's well acquainted with.

  • Thunder's Branden Carlson: Drawing first start of season

    Carlson is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

    Carlson will get his first crack with the first unit due to the absences of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), Chet Holmgren (illness) and Jaylin Williams (heel). Carlson is averaging 4.9 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.3 minutes over 18 appearances this season but should be in store for more chances to make an impact Monday night.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Shifting to bench role

    Filipowski isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

    Filipowski will return to a bench role following the return of Lauri Markkanen from a groin injury. Filipowski has scored in double figures in three of his last four appearances off the bench but was most recently held to two points in his last showing as a reserve Dec. 12 against Memphis.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Available to play

    Duren (shoulder) is available for Monday's game in Portland.

    Duren was previously listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. He's posted a double-double in two straight games and will look to make it three in a row Monday evening with a favorable matchup versus the Trail Blazers.
