Lopez recorded five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 105-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Lopez was limited to under 25 minutes for the third straight game, continuing what has been an underwhelming season. Although he has strung together a few decent performances across the course of the first 33 games, he has also had his fair share of disappointment. In 31.8 minutes per game, Lopez is averaging 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Clingan totaled four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Saturday's 105-102 victory over the Bucks.

Clingan played 14 minutes as the primary backup behind Deandre Ayton, seemingly assuming the role by himself, as opposed to a timeshare with Robert Williams. Although the move has not yielded significant production, it is definitely a situation to monitor moving forward. If and when Portland opts to lean more into their young core, Clingan could be the first in line to soak up more minutes at the center spot.

Collins notched 24 points (9-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 136-100 victory over the Heat.

Collins returned from a five-game absence as a result of a hip injury, sliding straight into the starting lineup. He picked up where he left off, continuing what has been a very good season. Through 27 games, he is averaging 17.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 2.0 combined steals and blocks in 29.9 minutes per game.

Embiid logged a game-high 28 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes of play during Saturday's 123-94 win over the Nets.

The beleaguered big man has begun to find his footing after what was initially a shaky return from injury, as he paced all scorers and recorded his fourth double-double in his past 10 games in the blowout victory on the road. The well-rounded output on offense is certainly encouraging for Embiid, who's been looking like the MVP contender of years past over the past month. He'll look to build on his resurgence Monday against the Suns.

Wembanyama finished with 20 points (7-19 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 23 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 122-111 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Wembanyama established a new career-high mark in rebounds in this game, and even though the Spurs came up short in the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Nuggets, the Frenchman produced another impressive stat line. He's now recorded at least 20 points in four games in a row while notching multiple blocks in each of his last 12 contests. His two-impact and tendency to stuff the stat sheet has established him as one of the best fantasy players regardless of the league format this season.

Jokic posted 46 points (19-35 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 122-111 overtime victory over the Spurs.

Jokic came up short in the first leg of this back-to-back set against Victor Wembanyama despite putting up 41 points (15-36 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 113-110 loss, and he got his revenge right away after delivering an even better performance Saturday. Even though he finished just one rebound shy of another triple-double, Jokic was outstanding on offense and finished with his third-best scoring mark of the campaign. He has six games with at least 40 points in only 31 regular-season contests.

Clarke is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Warriors on Saturday.

Clarke started against the Kings on Friday and finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and one block over 23 minutes. He'll come off the bench Saturday while Zach Edey returns to the starting five.

Edey is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Warriors on Saturday.

Edey returned from a two-game absence Friday against the Kings and tallied nine points, seven rebounds and one block across 22 minutes off the bench. He'll be inserted into the starting lineup Saturday while Brandon Clarke reverts to a reserve role.

Collins is in Utah's starting lineup against Miami on Saturday.

Collins hasn't played in the Jazz's last five games due to a left hip contusion. He'll make his return Saturday and usurp Johnny Juzang in the starting lineup. As a starter this season, Collins has averaged 18.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals over 32.9 minutes per game.

Davis (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Houston, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

After missing Thursday's game versus Portland, Davis returned Friday against the Hawks and produced 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals across 37 minutes. Probable tags are usually par for the course with Davis, and fantasy managers can expect him to suit up Sunday.
