  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Grabs 10 boards, blocks five shots

    Missi recorded four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks across 28 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over the Mavericks.

    Missi moved into the starting lineup, with Dejounte Murray ruled out due to illness. Rather than replace Murray, the coaching staff decided to shuffle the rotation, allowing Missi to slide into the starting center role. Rewarding anyone who took a chance on him, Missi turned in a solid performance, including a season-high five blocks. While Missi is a name to monitor, recent games would suggest that he is nothing more than a streaming consideration on most nights.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Double-double in defeat

    Claxton ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 20 minutes in Monday's 114-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Claxton snapped a four-game stretch of single-digit scoring with a 12-point performance while recording his first double-double since Feb. 9. The big man is now up to 11 double-doubles this season, though nine of those came before the calendar flipped to 2026. After averaging 9.9 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign, Claxton's production on the glass has dipped over the past two seasons, as he entered Monday averaging 7.1 rebounds across 60 appearances.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Double-double in win

    Clingan accumulated 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 114-95 victory over the Nets.

    Clingan was productive as both a scorer and rebounder, tallying his 29th double-double of the campaign in Monday's win. The 22-year-old has been tenacious on the offensive glass of late, grabbing five offensive rebounds in each of his past three outings. Through eight March appearances, Clingan has already recorded six double-doubles.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Passive performance Monday

    Landale supplied eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over Orlando.

    Landale was subdued once again, having now scored double digits only once in the past six games. During that time, he has averaged just 6.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, despite serving as the primary backup behind Onyeka Okongwu. For those in standard formats, Landale should not even be on the radar at this point.

  • Goga Bitadze C | ORL

    Magic's Goga Bitadze: Muted role continues

    Bitadze closed Monday's 124-112 loss to Atlanta with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist over five minutes.

    Bitadze continues to serve as the third-string center, having seen the court only six times in the past 12 games. During that time, he has averaged just 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Drops 30 points off bench

    Porzingis finished with 30 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-14 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 125-117 victory over Washington.

    Porzingis led all scorers in a winning effort and did much of his damage from the charity stripe, as his 14 free-throw attempts marked a season high. In addition to racking up points, the big man tallied five stocks, his highest mark of the campaign. In what has been a challenging, injury-riddled season for the 30-year-old, Monday marked a bright spot as Porzingis recorded his second 30-point performance of the year.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Starting sans Sengun

    Capela is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Lakers, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

    With Alperen Sengun (back) inactive, Capela will slide into the starting five at center. The veteran big man's lone start this season came Dec. 6 against the Mavericks, when he totaled eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 30 minutes. Dorian Finney-Smith and Jeff Green figure to serve as small-ball backups to Capela at center Monday.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Ruled out Monday

    Sengun (back) is out for Monday's game against the Lakers, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Sengun was added to the injury report as questionable after missing Friday's game with a back injury, and the team has since decided to hold him out of Monday's matchup. Clint Capela will draw the start at center in Sengun's place.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Won't start Monday

    Richards (back) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Richards will be active despite previously being listed on the injury report with lower-back tightness, though he'll operate off the bench Monday after starting Friday's contest. The big man has come off the bench in 39 of his 42 appearances this season between the Suns and Bulls, averaging 5.6 points and 4.9 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per contest as a reserve.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Joining starting five

    Missi is starting Monday's game against the Mavericks.

    Missi will slide into the starting rotation with Dejounte Murray (illness) sitting out Monday. Missi's last start dates back to March 5 against the Kings, when he finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals and four blocks in 16 minutes.
