Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Solid effort in narrow victory
Sengun registered 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Grizzlies.
Sengun's performance was a mixed bag. His efficiency was subpar, and he committed six turnovers, but he still made an impact on the rest of the stat sheet. Over the past seven games, the center hasn't been below 14 points, six rebounds or three assists, posting an average of 20.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.9 steals in 32.7 minutes.

Zach Edey C | MEM
Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Underwhelms in tight loss Monday
Edey posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.
Edey's minutes have declined over the past two weeks while Memphis has regained nearly full health. Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.

Chris Boucher C | BOS
Raptors' Chris Boucher: Another double-digit scoring effort
Boucher finished with 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors.
Boucher has been running hot and cold all season. He's on a good stretch right now, racking up double-digit points in four straight outings, including 10 points in four minutes to kick things off. During these four performances, the veteran has averaged 16.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes while shooting 75.8 percent from the field -- much higher than his season-long efficiency of 49.6 percent.

Rudy Gobert C | MIN
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Nabs double-double in victory
Gobert registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-106 win over the Wizards.
Gobert chipped in a game-high mark in rebounds while securing his 16th double-double across 39 regular-season appearances. The big man has been efficient of late, shooting 80.0 percent from the field over his last three outings. However, Gobert's numbers have dropped considerably this year, and he is on pace to average his lowest points per game (10.1) since the 2015-16 campaign, as well as his lowest rebounds per game (10.5) since the 2014-15 season.

Over his last five appearances, the superstar big man has averaged 26.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest. He has also shot 51.1 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from downtown in that five-game span.

Jackson-Davis exited for the locker room to get his right hand taped up with 7:05 remaining in the third quarter.

Bam Adebayo C | MIA
Heat's Bam Adebayo: Downgraded to out Monday
Adebayo (back) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reportss.
After being a late addition to Miami's injury report, Adebayo is out with a lower back contusion Monday, and he'll miss his first game of the season as a result. The star big man's next chance to return is Wednesday against the Lakers. Rookie first-rounder Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic are candidates for enhanced roles against the Clippers, and the Heat would figure to get veteran big man Kevin Love back into the rotation.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable with illness
Williams (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
After sitting out Saturday's loss to the Heat with an illness, Williams' status remains in danger for Tuesday. With Deandre Ayton (calf) off the injury report, rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan should revert back to Portland's second unit and handle the backup center role for the Blazers if Williams isn't feeling well enough to play against Brooklyn.

Deandre Ayton C | WAS
Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton: Available vs. Nets
Ayton (calf) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.
