Okongwu contributed 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 152-150 loss to the Bulls.

It was an impressive bounce-back effort after Okongwu scored just seven points Friday against the Spurs. The 25-year-old center has scored at least 20 points in four of nine December games, averaging 15.2 points, 7.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals so far this month.

Adebayo racked up 14 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and nine rebounds in 34 minutes during Sunday's 132-125 loss to the Knicks.

It wasn't the star big man's finest performance overall, though he hauled in at least eight boards in his fifth consecutive game. Adebayo was riding a 14-game streak with at least one assist up until Sunday, so fantasy managers can expect his production in this area to increase moving forward. Adebayo has averaged 17.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 blocks in 31.7 minutes per tilt across his last 15 games.

Adams will rest Sunday against the Kings, Sam Warren of The Houston Chronicle reports.

Although Adams isn't on the injury report, he's going to miss the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance like he normally does. Clint Capela could soak up a handful of minutes with this news.

Towns chipped in two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 132-125 win over Miami.

Towns struggled to get much going, turning in season lows in both points and boards. The superstar big man had scored in double digits in 23 of his 25 appearances prior to Sunday, so this performance appears to be an aberration. Over his last eight outings, Towns has averaged 21.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 32.2 minutes per game.

Ware produced 28 points (11-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 20 rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes of Sunday's 132-125 loss to the Knicks.

Ware was dominant for Miami, posting a career-high 28 points while matching his career-high mark of 20 boards. He also finished one triple shy of his career-high mark. Now back in the starting lineup, Ware is thriving with 24.7 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 4.0 three-pointers over his last three games. However, it's unclear if he'll stick in that role once Tyler Herro (toe) returns to action.

Duren is probable to play Monday in Portland due to a left hip contusion.

Duren is dealing with a bruised hip, but it doesn't sound like he's in any danger of missing Monday's game. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to Monday's tip. In December (eight games), Duren has averaged 14.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.5 stocks in 28.8 minutes per game.

Hartenstein won't suit up for Monday's matchup with Memphis due to right soleus soreness.

Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Hartenstein will take the night off, and with Chet Holmgren (back) being listed as questionable, the Thunder could be thin up front Monday evening. Hartenstein's absence should open up minutes for Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson.

Holmgren is questionable to play Monday versus Memphis due to back spasms.

Holmgren's back is acting up, and Monday's matchup will be the first of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him hit the sidelines. If he can't give it a go, there will be more opportunity for guys like Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams, as Isaiah Hartenstein (lower leg) and Ousmane Dieng (calf) have already been ruled out.

Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Nets, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Poeltl was cleared to return Sunday after a two-game absence due to a back injury, but he appears to have aggravated the issue during the first half. Sandro Mamukelashvili should start the second half and see a significant increase in playing time during Poeltl's absence. Poeltl will finish the contest with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and a turnover in seven minutes.

Sims will come off the bench Sunday against the Timberwolves.

The Bucks will give Bobby Portis a look alongside Myles Turner on Sunday. In a spot start Thursday against Toronto, Sims had six points, seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.
