Clingan amassed six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime loss to New York.

The rookie center continues to make his presence felt at the rim. Clingan has recorded multiple blocks in three straight games and eight of 13 since Deandre Ayton (calf) was sidelined, a stretch in which the UConn product has averaged 8.1 points, 9.5 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.9 blocks in 23.7 minutes a contest while shooting 56.4 percent from the floor.

Jokic produced 34 points (13-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 loss to Minnesota.

The three-time MVP saw his double-double streak end at seven games, but he still led all scorers on the night. Jokic continues to add to his skill set in his age-29 season -- he's recorded at least one steal in 13 straight contests, averaging 26.6 points, 13.9 boards, 10.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.5 threes and 0.7 blocks over that stretch while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor.

Gobert recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 win over the Nuggets.

The double-double was his 26th of the season, and his first in two games since returning to the lineup following a 10-game absence due to back trouble. Gobert's big increase in court time -- he played only 20 minutes Sunday in his return -- is a strong sign he's fully healthy, but his production will likely remain muted as the Minnesota offense continues to flow through Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.

Horford (toe) racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 loss to Oklahoma City.

It was a full stat line by Horford, who caught fire from long distance for a season-high six three-pointers while registering his fourth double-double of the campaign in his return from a one-game absence. The veteran big man has averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes while shooting 42.5 percent from deep through his last eight outings (six starts). As long Kristaps Porzingis (illness) remains on the shelf, Horford should be able to hold onto amplified fantasy value.

Holmgren chipped in 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 win over Boston.

After scoring just eight points in Monday's loss to Denver, Holmgren bounced back with a big double-double against a Celtics team without Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Holmgren has averaged 15.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes across eight appearances following the All-Star break, swatting multiple shots in six of these outings. Holmgren has been occasionally sitting out for rest purposes of late, which could remain an issue for fantasy managers as the 54-12 Thunder look to preserve the star big man for the postseason.

Robinson finished with 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 victory over the 76ers.

Robinson shifted to the bench Wednesday due to the return of Jakob Poeltl. That didn't limit Robinson's impact on the floor, as he played more minutes than Poeltl (17) while finishing second on the team in both rebounding and points. Robinson has registered a double-double in two consecutive games and will look to extend that streak to three against the Pacers on Friday.

Gobert (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Gobert is coming off a 16-point performance in the blowout win against the Spurs and will be back on the floor Wednesday in Denver. The veteran big man has seen his numbers dip this season, averaging 11.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 65.8 percent from the field.

Plumlee has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Rockets after an on-court altercation with Steven Adams, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Plumlee and Adams got into a physical altercation during Wednesday's matchup in Houston, which resulted in both players being ejected. The veteran big man logged 13 minutes for Phoenix before being sent to the locker room, finishing with four points and six rebounds.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jokic is playing through multiple injuries, but he's been deemed available Wednesday. The 29-year-old averaged 26.4 points, 16.2 rebounds and 10.8 assists across his last five games.

Adams has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Suns after getting into a physical altercation with Mason Plumlee, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Adams and Plumlee locked arms after a missed shot and did not separate, resulting in a shove by Plumlee before Adams dragged them both to the floor. Adams logged one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, and one assist in 11 minutes before the ejection. Look for Jock Landale and Jeff Green to see more minutes behind Alperen Sengun in the second half. Adams should be back in action Friday against Dallas.
