    Kings' Drew Eubanks: Logs six minutes in loss

    Eubanks notched three points (0-1 FG, 3-4 FT) and one rebound across six minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

    Eubanks logged just six minutes, the fewest he has played since the third game of the season. Following a knee injury to Domantas Sabonis, Eubanks was inserted as the starting center for eight straight games. However, a lack of production has basically seen him fall out of the rotation, with rookie Maxime Raynaud supplanting him in the starting lineup. Based on recent events, there is no reason to be holding Eubanks outside of the deepest formats.

  • Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Productive again in start

    Raynaud logged 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

    Raynaud continues to put up good numbers, scoring in double digits for the fourth time in the past five games. He has now started in back-to-back games, averaging 12.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. However, despite starting, he has played only 25 and 23 minutes, another baffling coaching decision. While there will likely be some frustrations moving forward, Raynaud is clearly the best option for the Kings at center while Domantas Sabonis (knee) remains out, making the former a must-roster player in most formats.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Solid night in road win

    Williams registered 22 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 108-105 win over the Timberwolves.

    Williams paced the Suns in scoring despite attempting only nine shots from the field. He reached the 20-point threshold by getting to the charity stripe for a team-high nine attempts, which also marks a new season high. Williams, Collin Gillespie and Dillon Brooks were all asked to take on more of the offensive load Monday without Devin Booker (groin), but that could change as early as Wednesday against the Thunder with Booker's return looming.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Ejected Monday

    Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Suns, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    The veteran center was ejected with 7:59 remaining in the third after elbowing Mark Williams in the ribs while he was airborne. Gobert will finish with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes. Naz Reid should see the majority of the center minutes the rest of the way, while Joan Beringer could enter the rotation.

  • Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Back to bench

    Biyombo will come off the bench Monday against the Pelicans, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

    Biyombo drew a rare start Friday with Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Luke Kornet (ankle) out but failed to do much with the opportunity. Kornet has been cleared to take the court Monday, resulting in Biyombo's move back to a bench role.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Could return Wednesday

    Head coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama (calf) will travel with the Spurs for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, though he isn't guaranteed to suit up, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

    Wembanyama hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a left calf strain but appears to be nearing a return, as he was a full participant in Sunday's practice. The star big man can be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. If he's unable to play, Luke Kornet is expected to remain in the starting lineup, while Kelly Olynyk and Jeremy Sochan will likely back him up.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Good to go Monday

    Kornet (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

    Kornet will shed his questionable tag after missing Friday's loss to Cleveland due to a left ankle issue. With the 30-year-old center back in action, Bismack Biyombo is expected to slide back to the second unit. Over his last five outings, Kornet has averaged 6.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Tuesday

    Towns (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

    After being held out of Sunday's win over Orlando, Towns is in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup due to left calf tightness. He was able to participate in Monday's practice, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up. If the star big man is ultimately ruled out, Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti are candidates for increased playing time.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Quiet in loss

    Carter recorded eight points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks.

    This was a mild effort for Carter as the Magic picked up their second loss over their last three games. Carter's fantasy appeal remains limited to late-round territory -- through 23 regular-season games, he's averaging 11.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 steals.

  • Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Leads Dallas with 29 points

    Davis accumulated 29 points (14-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 win over Houston.

    Davis was everywhere in this game, and fantasy managers were likely thrilled to see him on the floor for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Davis had a two-point dud against the Thunder on Friday, but he bounced back in a big way to give the Mavericks their third win out of their last four games to improve to 9-16 on the season.
