Gobert logged 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 103-100 win over the Bucks.

Gobert matched a season high in rebounding Sunday, also recording a full stat line. The star big man continues to be a reliable fantasy producer in all formats. Gobert has averaged 14.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest in nine games this month, shooting 74.6 percent from the floor.

Wembanyama posted 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 21 minutes during Sunday's 124-113 victory over the Wizards.

The Spurs continue to ease the superstar big man back into action, with Wembanyama coming off the bench for the fourth game in a row. Fantasy managers should remain patient with Wembanyama as he becomes further removed from a calf strain that recently cost him multiple weeks. He's still averaged 18.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 blocks in just 21.3 minutes per game over his past four outings.

Kalkbrenner (elbow) will not play Monday against the Cavaliers.

Kalkbrenner was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. Consider him questionable to face the Wizards on Tuesday. In his absence, the Hornets will likely rely heavily on Moussa Diabate.

The Grizzlies announced Monday that Clarke (calf) has sustained a Grade 2 right calf strain and will be reevaluated in about three weeks.

Clarke missed the first 26 games of the season recovering from a knee injury and appeared in only one full game before straining his calf just four minutes into his second contest. Santi Aldama and Jock Landale will likely see increased roles as a result.

Holmgren (illness) will not play Monday against the Grizzlies.

Holmgren was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. Isaiah Hartenstein (lower leg) and Jaylin Williams (heel) have already been ruled out, so the Thunder could deploy some small-ball lineups Monday. Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson could be in the mix for more run as a result.

Embiid (illness/knee) participated in practice Monday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid was unable to play Saturday against the Mavericks, his second straight game on the shelf. However, coach Nick Nurse noted that he was feeling and moving around better at Monday's practice. More clarity on Embiid's status for Tuesday's game against the Nets will be known once the 76ers release their injury report.

Capela logged two points (1-4 FG), six rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Kings.

With Steven Adams resting, Capela picked up a handful of minutes Sunday. He saw seven or fewer minutes in his previous three contests, and he remains miles off the fantasy radar.

Sharpe notched eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 20 minutes during Sunday's 96-81 victory over the Raptors.

Sharpe has excelled as Nic Claxton's backup in Brooklyn. Over his last four outings, Sharpe has produced 11th-round fantasy value in just 16.0 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals on 58.8 percent shooting from the field.

Koloko signed a hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

The Grizzlies are in urgent need of some frontcourt depth with Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) both banged up. Koloko has had stints with the Lakers and Raptors, and he holds career averages of 2.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 11.9 minutes across 97 appearances.

Kornet accumulated 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 124-113 victory over Washington.

Kornet continues to start while Victor Wembanyama is being brought back into the mix slowly following his calf injury, and the former is making the most of his opportunities. The big man has scored in double digits in three of his last five outings, and this was his third double-double of the season. He's averaging 7.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks per game as a starter, so he might have some streaming upside as long as he stays in the first unit.
