Reid had 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.

With Rudy Gobert missing his third straight game with back spasms, Reid drew another start at center and made the most of it. He's been on an absolute tear over his last three games, averaging 23.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 2.7 blocks on 50.0 percent shooting from the field.

Biyombo closed with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-96 loss to New Orleans.

After two lackluster efforts as the Spurs' new starting center in which he didn't play more than 16 minutes, Biyombo got a full workload Sunday and responded with his first double-double since Nov. 12, 2023, and his highest combined block and steal total since Dec. 23, 2022. With Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) lost for the season, the 32-year-old Biyombo appears to be San Antonio's best option in the middle, and he's still capable of making an impact at the rim -- he averaged 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes over 30 contests last season for the Grizzlies.

Hartenstein recorded 12 points (6-8 FG), nine rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 win over the Timberwolves.

Despite a small usage rate, Hartenstein continues to churn out reliable fantasy value for the Thunder. During the month of February, Hartenstein has been a ninth-round value in nine-category leagues with averages of 9.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.8 blocks on 60.3 percent shooting from the field across his last 10 games.

Richards finished Sunday's 127-109 loss to the Raptors with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 21 minutes.

Richards finished just two boards shy of a double-double Sunday, and he continues to provide solid numbers on both ends of the court as the Suns' starting center. He's started every game for the Suns since Jan. 20, and in that 16-game span, he's averaging 8.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.4 assists across 22.4 minutes per contest.

Holmes amassed 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 29 minutes during Sunday's 110-90 loss to Orlando.

Holmes received his fifth start over the Wizards' last seven games due to Alex Sarr's ankle issues, and he delivered another solid performance. The veteran big man has scored in double digits in four of those outings and has racked up two double-doubles in that span. Holmes' fantasy value will be strictly tied to Sarr's availability, and he can be a solid streaming option when Sarr isn't available.

Ware finished with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 37 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to Milwaukee.

It was the seventh double-double of what continues to be an impressive rookie season for Ware. Over 14 contests since becoming a full-time starter Jan. 21, the rookie big man has averaged 11.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 30.0 minutes. That said, Ware has posted double-digit points in only half of these appearances, so there might continue to be some ups and downs going forward.

Williams has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to left foot injury management.

With the Hornets beginning their back-to-back set Monday, Williams will be held out of the first leg in order to manage his left foot injury but should be available for the second leg Tuesday against the Warriors. He's played two games for the Hornets since his trade to the Lakers was rescinded and has averaged 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 25.0 minutes per game over that span. Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate should both see increased playing time Monday due to Williams' absence.

Zubac had 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-111 loss to Indiana.

Zubac provided a spark in the paint for Los Angeles in Sunday's defeat, shooting well from both the field and the line while finishing with north of 20 points and finishing second on the team in scoring. Zubac has surpassed the 20-point mark in 18 contests, including in three of his last five outings.

Bassey has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to left patellar tendon soreness, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

Bassey checked out of the game for good with two seconds left in the first quarter of Sunday's game, finishing with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in six minutes. The fourth-year center had previously missed six games earlier this month due to an MCL sprain of the same knee, though Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com relays that Bassey's latest left knee concern is considered unrelated. In any case, it wouldn't be surprising if Bassey needed to miss time on account of the injury. Bismack Biyombo, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jeremy Sochan are likely to cover most of the minutes at center for the Spurs for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Kessler is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to an illness.

Kessler has hauled in 36 rebounds across the Jazz's two games since the All-Star break, but he's currently battling an illness that puts him in jeopardy of missing Monday's game. Kyle Filipowski would likely be inserted into the starting lineup if Kessler is not cleared to play.
