  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Comes close to double-double

    Zubac chipped in 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 loss to the Bucks.

    Zubac has suited up in three straight games for the Pacers, and while the early numbers haven't been eye-popping, there are some positives to highlight. He's scored in double digits in his past two outings while logging at least 24 minutes, which is an uptick from the 16-minute cameo he made in his season debut against the Suns on Thursday. Zubac should grow more and more comfortable as he gets more minutes under his belt, but he's a risky fantasy option right now. Even if he holds a starting role, the change to a new environment and his lengthy absence mean he likely won't produce at the same rate he did when he was a member of the Clippers, where he also had a more stable offensive role.

    Warriors' Al Horford: Will be re-evaluated in one week

    An MRI confirmed a minor right calf strain for Horford and he will be re-evaluated in one week, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

    Horford is set to miss at least the next five games, and it's important to note that while he'll be re-evaluated in one week, that doesn't mean he will return at that point. Quinten Post figures to be more involved in the rotation while Horford is sidelined.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Season-best effort in win

    Poeltl produced 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 win over the Pistons.

    Poeltl established a season high in boards Sunday, also turning in his first 20-point, 10-rebound double-double of the year. After missing a big chunk of the season while sorting through a lingering back injury, Poeltl is rounding into form for the Raptors. Poetl has averaged 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.8 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting a robust 71.0 percent from the field.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Collects another double-double

    Duren produced 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 FT) and 11 rebounds in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Raptors.

    Duran is now up to 34 double-doubles on the campaign, which makes him 11 shy of setting a new career-high mark in his category with 15 games left to go in 2025-26. The All-Star big man has averaged 21.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game in his last six contests, shooting a potent 70.3 percent from the field during this span.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Available to play

    Post (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in New York.

    Post will power through the ankle issue and make himself available for Sunday's game. Post and Omer Yurtseven will hold down the center spot Sunday with Draymond Green (back), Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all unavailable.

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Still out Monday

    Aldama (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

    Aldama will miss an 18th consecutive game due to a right knee injury. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Nuggets.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Questionable for Monday

    Sengun (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.

    Sengun is in danger of missing his second straight game due to the back issue, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If Sengun is forced to spend another game on the bench, Dorian Finney-Smith could draw another start and there would be more minutes available for Clint Capela.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Pulls down 12 rebounds in win

    Hartenstein totaled zero points (0-3 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 victory over Minnesota.

    While Hartenstein was scoreless in this game, he still played a big role in the win and dominated his matchup with Rudy Gobert. Per Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site, head coach Mark Daigneault heaped praise on Hartenstein during his postgame media availability, saying: "His value is usually invisible value. He's not like a box score junkie, but he gets a lot done out there... We used him as a hub when that unit was out there to start the 2nd and 4th, and he really got that going with those guys running around him."

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Tweaks right shoulder in loss

    Reid posted six points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Thunder.

    Reid got tangled up with Isaiah Hartenstein on a drive to the hoop and wound up getting sandwiched between Hartenstein and the basketball stanchion, as Hartenstein tumbled on top of him after the play. Reid was slow to get up, and while he played through the shoulder issue without requiring a trip to the locker room, he did appear to be in some discomfort for the remainder of the game. The Timberwolves have a Tuesday-Wednesday, back-to-back set coming up, so managers will need to be on alert for a potential maintenance day.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Available to play

    Williams (knee) is available for Sunday's game versus the 76ers.

    Williams is set to return after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which could push Sidy Cissoko back out of the rotation. Williams is averaging 6.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.
