Richards ended with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT) and 15 rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 108-84 victory over the Nets.

Richards had one of his best games with the Suns on Wednesday since being traded to Phoenix. The 27-year-old big man made a big impact on the glass with a season-high 15 rebounds, which helped his new squad secure the blowout win against Brooklyn.

Drummond (toe) is out for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Drummond will sit out Friday's contest after missing Thursday's practice due to left toe injury recovery. Guerschon Yabusele will likely draw another start in his absence with Joel Embiid (knee) still out. Drummond's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Chicago.

Plumlee accumulated six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and four steals across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 108-84 win over the Nets.

Plumlee had a solid performance off the bench for the Suns in Wednesday's win against the Nets. The veteran big man finished with a season-high four steals to go along with six points and five rebounds.

Powell (hip) is out for Thursday's game versus the Thunder.

Powell's absence streak will extend to three games Thursday due to a right hip strain. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Boston.

Sengun put up 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 109-108 win over the Cavaliers.

After an uncharacteristic off night Monday, the fourth-year big man was able to log his 27th double-double of the season and lead his team to a big win over the league-leading Cavaliers. Despite struggling Monday, Sengun is averaging 18.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists on 47.6 percent shooting and remains a strong fantasy option going forward. His next game comes Saturday against the Cavaliers again.

Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.

Hartenstein will miss his fifth straight contest Thursday due to a left calf strain. While the 26-year-old big man is expected to be re-evaluated in the coming days, his next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Portland.

Capela is out for Thursday's game versus the Raptors due to right knee soreness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Capela will miss his first game of the season Thursday due to right knee soreness. Dominick Barlow will likely receive increased playing time as the backup center to Onyeka Okongwu in his absence. Capela's next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with Toronto.

Drummond (toe) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Drummond returned to action Tuesday after missing time due to a left toe injury. Fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify Drummond's status for Friday's matchup with Cleveland.

Allen put up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 boards, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 32 minutes of action during Wednesday's 109-108 loss to the Rockets.

The big man has taken on a more significant role on both ends as Evan Mobley (calf) remains sidelined, with Wednesday's outing marking his second straight double-double. He matched his second-highest block and steal totals of the season, making for a well-rounded fantasy performance. He'll next take the court Friday against the 76ers.

Sabonis recorded 26 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 18 rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 win over the Warriors.

By now, it's odd when Sabonis doesn't record a double-double, and that outcome has happened in only two of his 40 appearances -- and not even once since Dec. 3. An ever-present name in the Kings lineup across the month of January, Sabonis is averaging a robust stat line of 21.3 points, 16.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 0.7 blocks per game while shooting 64.3 percent from the floor in his last 10 games.
