Collins recorded 19 points (5-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 23 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings.

Collins finished just three rebounds shy of recording what would've been his first double-double since the Nov. 26 loss to the Spurs. Still, the veteran forward continues to produce at a high level for Utah while operating as one of the team's go-to options on offense. Collins is averaging 18.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 games.

Zubac notched 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-106 loss to Houston.

The veteran center continues to dominate the glass. Zubac has pulled down double-digit boards in 12 of the last 13 games, recording eight double-doubles over that stretch while averaging 13.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 62.6 percent from the floor. His 12.2 boards a game on the season puts him fourth in the NBA, behind only Nikola Jokic (13.6), Karl-Anthony Towns (13.2 ) and Domantas Sabonis (12.7).

Sengun amassed 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-106 victory over the Clippers.

The double-double was his 16th of the season in 24 games, tying Sengun for sixth in the NBA with Anthony Davis in that category. Sengun hasn't gone more than two games in a row this season without pulling down double-digit boards, and his 10.6 rebounds a contest puts him 10th in the league. He's also added 18.5 points, 5.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks a game.

Bassey finished Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans with 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds and four blocks over 18 minutes.

Bassey did most of his damage during Victor Wembanyama's brief absence, logging seven points, a rebound and a blocked shot in the first quarter. Sunday was easily his best game of the season, but it would take an extended absence from Wembanyama for the shot-block specialist to have significant fantasy value.

Wembanyama notched 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 win over the Pelicans.

Wembanyama entered the game with an injury tag, and the back ailment flared back up in his return, forcing him to leave the game early in the first quarter. He returned to the floor in the second quarter and turned San Antonio's slight deficit into a massive lead by halftime. The Spurs will enjoy a significant break this week, which will give Wembanyama plenty of time to rest his back.

Jokic closed with 48 points (17-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 win over the Hawks.

Jokic followed up a career-high 56 points during Saturday's loss to the Wizards with another stellar performance in Sunday's blowout victory. The three-time MVP logged game highs in both points and rebounds while recording his 16th double-double across 19 regular-season outings. Over his last five appearances, Jokic has averaged 39.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.6 steals while shooting 55.3 from the field in 38.4 minutes per contest.

Bitadze produced 21 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Suns.

Bitadze dominated the paint against a Suns team without rebounding machine Jusuf Nurkic (thigh) to protect the rim Sunday, collecting a career-high 16 boards en route to a big 20-point, 10-rebound double-double. Bitadze has stuck around in Orlando's starting lineup despite Wendell Carter Jr. recently returning to the fold in the frontcourt, with Bitadze averaging 11.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.9 minutes per contest over his last six games. As long as Bitadze is getting minutes in the mid-20s, the 25-year-old big man should remain a strong source of blocks and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage.

Richards closed Sunday's 113-109 win over the Pacers with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes.

Richards grabbed a team-high 14 rebounds and fell one point shy of his second double-double of the month. He's looked sharp for the most part since returning from a right ankle sprain, scoring in double figures in three of four appearances while also totaling five blocks and two steals over this brief stretch.

Claxton finished with 21 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to the Bucks.

Claxton held it down for Brooklyn in the paint Sunday, leading all Nets players in rebounds, steals and blocks while finishing as one of two players with a double-double in a losing effort. Claxton set a new season high in scoring, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time this year. He has now recorded a double-double in four contests.

Vucevic recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 108-100 loss to the 76ers.

Vucevic took the court Sunday despite being banged up with a back injury, going on to lead all Bulls players in rebounds while finishing as one of five players with a double-digit point total in a near double-double outing. Vucevic has posted at least 10 points and eight boards in nine straight outings, and in all but four contests this season.
