Poeltl chipped in eight points (4-6 FG), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 106-96 win over Miami.

Poeltl scored no more than 10 points for the fourth straight game, another in a string of underwhelming performances. Ongoing back issues continue to plague the veteran big man, limiting him to just 20 games thus far. His per-game production has also suffered as a result of the injury, averaging 10.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 26.2 minutes per contest. At this point, managers simply have to sit tight and hope that he can turn things around.

Sengun finished Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets with 33 points (14-27 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block across 42 minutes.

Sengun engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Nikola Jokic, as both players posted a triple-double in this heavyweight matchup, but at the end of the day, the Rockets' big man couldn't avoid the defeat for Houston. This was Sengun's first triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign, and he's now posted either a triple-double or a double-double in his last four appearances dating back to Dec. 1.

Clarke (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Clarke has been practicing in the G League, but he's not yet ready for game action. His next opportunity for a return will arrive Wednesday in Minnesota.

Gafford will start against the Jazz on Monday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

With Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined, Gafford will get the starting nod. However, the big man will be limited to 17-20 minutes in his return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle injury, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. Over his last five outings (three starts), the 27-year-old has averaged 6.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 22.2 minutes per tilt.

Gafford (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz but will be limited to 17-20 minutes, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gafford will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle injury. With Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined, Gafford could get the starting nod, though he'll be limited regardless. Over his last five outings (three starts), the 27-year-old center has averaged 6.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 22.2 minutes per tilt.

Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Davis managed to take part in Monday's shootaround, but he isn't feeling healthy enough to give it a go. He'll miss his first game of December, opening the door for Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall to see more opportunities.

Filipowski will start Monday's game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

With Jusuf Nurkic (rest) unavailable, Filipowski will enter the starting five for the third time this month. The second-year center has averaged 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 23.3 minutes per contest in seven starts this season.

The Trail Blazers recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.

Hansen joined the Remix for Monday's 116-110 win over the Stockton Kings, recording 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes. He hasn't seen the floor in each of Portland's last two games and isn't likely to play meaningful minutes unless there are injuries to multiple centers.

Claxton finished with 10 points (5-8 FG), three rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-82 win over Milwaukee.

The Nets ran away with this game early, so the team was able to pull its foot off the gas and give the key players some rest down the stretch. Claxton is in the midst of a terrific campaign with averages of 13.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 blocks across 21 regular-season games.

Bryant accumulated 10 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 14 minutes during Sunday's 119-111 overtime loss to Charlotte.

Despite the return of Jarrett Allen, Bryant scored in double figures off the bench for only the second time this season. While Allen is back after a multi-game absence, the Cavaliers are expected to be without Evan Mobley (calf) for at least a few weeks, leaving the door open for Bryant to remain part of the rotation. Larry Nance (calf) also remains out indefinitely.
