  • Zach Edey C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Productive off bench in return

    Edey (ankle) contributed 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.

    Edey was back in action after missing the Grizzlies' last 12 games with a left ankle sprain, and though he came off the bench, he saw more minutes than starter Brandon Clarke (13) and fellow backup center Jay Huff (six minutes). While his playing time may remain somewhat volatile overall due to matchups, if Edey can routinely approach the 24 minutes he received Saturday, he'll likely be worth holding in most fantasy leagues. The rookie is currently averaging 11.3 points, 7.1 boards, 1.0 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.8 assists in 20.4 minutes per game while shooting 61.9 percent from the field over his 15 appearances.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Sees 14 minutes

    Jackson-Davis logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 14 minutes during Sunday's 143-133 loss to the Mavericks.

    Jackson-Davis has now seen the floor three times out of his past four games, but he averaged just 13.3 minutes in those contests. Until he earns back the trust of coach Steve Kerr, his impact will likely be limited to deeper fantasy formats.

  • Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA

    Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Pulls down 14 rebounds

    Nurkic logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    Nurkic delivered an impressive performance on both ends of the court Sunday and recorded his first double-double since Nov. 26, although it must be noted he also missed five games between Nov. 30 and Dec. 8 due to a thigh problem. Nurkic might hold a secondary role on offense behind the Suns' Big Three, but he can get the job done on both ends of the court when needed. This was his seventh double-double of the season.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Four rejections Sunday

    Turner provided 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 win over the Pelicans.

    The veteran center extended his streak of games with at least one block to 21 with another strong performance at the rim. Since missing a calf in mid-November with a minor calf issue, Turner is averaging 12.4 points, 7.2 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals, and his 2.1 blocks per game on the season ranks him fourth in the NBA behind Victor Wembanyama, Walker Kessler and Brook Lopez.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Continues to struggle

    Reid chipped in three points (1-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Spurs.

    Reid has now been held to single-digit points in seven of his last 11 games. During that stretch, he's been outside the top 150 in nine-category formats, posting averages of 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers on 34.0 percent shooting from the field. With solid peripheral stats keeping him afloat, his fantasy managers will need to patiently wait for him to break out of his slump.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Ties career high on glass

    Missi contributed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 loss to Indiana.

    The 14 boards tied the rookie's career high, a mark he's reached three times in the last three weeks. Missi remains an inconsistent offensive contributor, scoring in double digits only once in his last five contests, but he's emerged as a force on the glass. Over the last 10 games, he's pulled down double-digit rebounds seven times, averaging 12.8 points, 11.0 boards and 1.5 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.3 percent from the floor.

  • Moe Wagner C | ORL

    Magic's Moritz Wagner: Notches career-high 32 points

    Wagner supplied 32 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 100-91 loss to the Knicks.

    Wagner caught fire in Sunday's loss, posting a new career-high mark of 32 points. He also tied his career-best mark of four three-pointers, something he's now done five different times. Wagner is heating up and could continue to provide consistent streaming value while Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Franz Wagner (oblique) rehab their injuries.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Available to return

    Davis (shoulder) is available to return to Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Davis exited the game in the third quarter with an apparent shoulder injury, but after staying in the locker room for some time, Davis returned to the bench and is available to come back into the game.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Heads to locker room Sunday

    Davis headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Grizzlies with an apparent shoulder injury, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Davis tried to stay in the game after being down on the court holding his shoulder but ultimately asked to check out before heading to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's contest. If he is unable to return, Christian Koloko could see extra run.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Good to go

    Davis (foot) is available for Sunday' game against the Grizzlies, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Davis once again found himself on the injury report ahead of game time due to plantar fasciitis, but he will be able to play through it. After two subpar showings, Davis has bounced back over his last three, averaging 30.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 36.7 minutes per game over that stretch.
