Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Monster triple-double in victory
Sabonis racked up 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 22 rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 110-96 win over the Nets.
Sabonis led the Kings with game highs in rebounds and assists during an extremely efficient outing from the field.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Done for game with ankle injury
Sarr won't return to Monday's game against the Mavericks due to left ankle soreness, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Sarr visited the locker room during the second quarter after suffering the injury, and while he was able to re-enter the matchup upon being evaluated, he evidently didn't feel healthy enough to finish out the contest. Look for Jonas Valanciunas to see more playing time at center in the second half while Sarr is sidelined. The rookie will finish the game with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Posts brilliant performance in win
Davis finished with 42 points (17-28 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 23 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Monday's 112-107 victory over the Hornets.
Davis kept the Lakers afloat Monday, pacing the team in points and rebounds by a wide margin. This marks new season highs in both categories for the 31-year-old, who has now reached the 40-point threshold three times through 41 games this season. Davis has also secured a double-double in 11 of his last 12 appearances.

Sarr is questionable to return during Monday's game against Dallas due to left ankle soreness.

If the rookie big man is unable to return during the second half, Jonas Valanciunas will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Deandre Ayton C | LAL
Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton: Iffy for Tuesday
Ayton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Ayton is in jeopardy of missing a fourth straight game Tuesday due to a left knee sprain. If the star big man cannot suit up for the Trail Blazers against Milwaukee, the lion's share of the center minutes would be divvied up among rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan and veteran Robert Williams in Portland's rotation.
