Beringer closed Sunday's 144-117 victory over the Kings with two points (1-1 FG) and one steal in six minutes.

Beringer made his seventh appearance of his rookie season Sunday, with this being his second-highest minute total. As long as the frontcourt in Minnesota is healthy, Beringer is likely to just get the scraps off the bench.

Huff totaled 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-83 loss to the Warriors.

Making his second start of the season while Pascal Siakam (rest) got a maintenance day, Huff recorded his first career double-double, with the 11 boards representing a new career high. The 28-year-old center has been a steady presence in the Pacers frontcourt rotation to begin the season, averaging 5.7 points, 3.4 boards, 1.9 blocks, 0.9 assists and 0.9 threes in just 15.2 minutes a game, and he's posted multiple blocks in four straight games.

Sacramento recalled Raynaud from the G League's Stockton Kings on Sunday.

After producing 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 37 minutes during the G League Stockton Kings' 102-97 loss to the San Diego Clippers, Raynaud was quickly recalled in order to provide emergency depth to Sacramento's front line.

Capela finished with four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds and one steal over seven minutes during Sunday's 122-115 victory over the Bucks.

Capela has not been a factor in Houston's rotation, averaging 10.0 minutes per game and remains behind Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams on the depth chart. As long as those two are healthy, it appears that Capela will continue to operate as the team's third-string center.

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said after Sunday's 134-98 loss to the Knicks that Sharpe would undergo testing on his left hamstring Monday to determine the severity of the injury, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Sharpe contributed 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes before exiting Sunday's contest with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Though an official timeline for Sharpe's return won't be provided until his tests are completed, the Nets already seem to be bracing for him to miss at least their next game Tuesday versus the Raptors. Brooklyn recalled Danny Wolf from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, and the rookie first-round pick will be a candidate to enter the rotation as starting center Nic Claxton's top backup if Sharpe can't play Tuesday.

Holmgren racked up 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 victory over the Grizzlies.

The big man continues to work his way back from a lower back injury, and this was his best performance -- from a statistical perspective -- since suffering the injury in late October. Also, this was just the third time Holmgren has scored over 20 points in a game this season. He's averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in seven outings. However, his numbers should improve if he can stay healthy and play regularly as he did before sustaining the back problem Oct. 27.

Hartenstein notched 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 win over the Grizzlies.

Hartenstein recorded his third consecutive double-double in this comfortable win over the Grizzlies, and the big man has done a good job playing next to Chet Holmgren in the frontcourt due to the absence of Jalen Williams (wrist). Hartenstein has six double-doubles in 11 games this season, and his two-way impact has been key for OKC in the early stages of the campaign.

Drummond logged 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Pistons.

Drummond got the start Sunday due to the absence of Joel Embiid (knee) on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and he responded by delivering his second double-double of the season. The veteran big man can be a solid streaming option thanks to his ability to decent stats when given enough playing time. However, as long as Embiid remains healthy and active, Drummond's upside will be limited to sporadic minutes and a few starts here and there, limiting his fantasy value considerably.

Duren accumulated 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over Philadelphia.

Cade Cunningham stole the show for the Pistons with his 26-point, 11-assist performance, but Duren made his presence felt as well and clearly won the battle against Andre Drummond. This was Duren's third straight double-double and fifth over his last six games. The big man is averaging 24.0 points, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and a combined 2.4 steals-plus-blocks in five games since the beginning of December.

Turner finished with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 loss to the Rockets.

The six combined stocks were a season high for Turner, who also drained at least one three-pointer for the eighth straight game. The veteran center is still adjusting to his new teammates and scheme after making the jump from Indiana to Milwaukee in the offseason, averaging 11.4 points, 6.6 boards, 2.1 threes, 2.1 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals through his first 10 games with the Bucks.
