Horford produced zero points (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 win over the Raptors.

Horford couldn't get anything going in the scoring department against the lowly Raptors. The veteran center has struggled to make an impact offensively in two straight games, scoring only five points combined while going 2-for-19 from the field and 1-for-16 from beyond the arc. However, Horford should remain in the starting lineup as long as Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) remains out.

Turner amassed 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Milwaukee.

Turner recorded a double-double during Tuesday's game against the Bucks, the third time he's accomplished that feat for Indiana in the last five games. The veteran big man has seen a drop in point production compared to the previous season, going from 17.1 points per game to 14.9, but he's still putting up consistent numbers, with 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per contest.

Wembanyama amassed 27 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 122-86 victory over the Clippers.

With another impressive performance to close out December, Wembanyama became the first player in NBA history to amass 300 points, 100 rebounds, 50 blocks, 50 assists and 40 three-pointers in a calendar month. The second-year center has recorded multiple rejections in 10 straight games, averaging 29.3 points, 9.3 boards, 4.9 blocks, 4.0 assists and 3.7 threes, and he's lapping the field in blocks on the season -- Wembanyama's 3.9 a game is more than a full block better than second-place Walker Kessler's 2.8.

Poeltl closed Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.

While the Raptors' offense collapsed in the rout, Poeltl at least enjoyed some success on the glass and at the defensive end. The veteran center has produced four blocks and four steals in two contests since returning from a four-game absence due to a groin strain, but he's still looking for his first double-double since Dec. 9.

Collins (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Collins will miss a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday due to a hip injury. The veteran big man has put up decent numbers this season for the Jazz, averaging 17.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.

Zubac provided five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 122-86 loss to San Antonio.

To be fair to Zubac, the matchup with Victor Wembanyama is as tough as it gets, and this was the second leg of a back-to-back set. Plus, Zubac has been playing through a mild calf injury. He's had a tremendous season so far, and fantasy managers can just chalk this up as a rare dud.

Plumlee finished with 12 points (6-6 FG), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

This was one of Plumlee's best performances of the season, as he recorded his third game of the campaign with at least three blocks. Jusuf Nurkic will miss one more game with his suspension, making Plumlee an attractive streaming option against the Pacers on Saturday.

Davis supplied 28 points (12-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

The Lakers couldn't end the calendar year on a strong note with a win, but Davis still delivered an impressive fantasy line while filling the stat sheet admirably. These outputs aren't anything new for Davis, though, as this was the eighth time this season in which Davis recorded at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Davis averaged 22.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals per game across 13 appearances in December.

Allen closed with 27 points (12-14 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over the Lakers.

Allen was efficient and dominant on both ends of the court, missing just two of his 14 shots from the field and making his presence on defense. This was just the third time this season in which he registered double-digit boards and multiple blocks in the same game. It was also the big man's 19th double-double of the campaign.

Hartenstein closed Tuesday's 113-105 victory over the Timberwolves with 15 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes.

Hartenstein made his presence felt on both ends of the court Tuesday, and the big man notched his 13th double-double of the season in just 17 appearances. He's been a key contributor during the Thunder's ongoing 12-game winning streak thanks to his two-way contributions. Over his last 10 appearances, Hartenstein is averaging 13.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest.
