Rollins totaled 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 118-99 loss to Orlando.

It was a poor shooting night for Rollins, who entered with four straight games of 20 or more points. He still managed to score 14 points in the loss to Orlando, just below his season average (16.9). Rollins racked up a pair of steals after not tallying any in his prior three games. The sixth-year guard has 18 turnovers in his past four games as he carries more of the load offensively in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Porter finished Monday's 118-99 loss to Orlando with 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 36 minutes.

Porter followed up a 23-point scoring performance against Indiana on Friday with an even better one Monday. He led Milwaukee with 28 points in the loss while Giannis Antetokounmpo remains sidelined due to a calf injury. Porter is averaging 23.0 points, 8.0 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 3.0 steals in his last three outings since returning from a six-game absence due to an oblique strain.

Charlotte recalled Hall from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.

Hall is set to rejoin the Hornets ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks and could be thrust into the rotation with center Moussa Diabate and forward Miles Bridges facing potential suspensions for their roles in a brawl that broke out during Monday's loss to the Pistons. A two-way player, Hall hasn't appeared in a game for Charlotte since Jan. 8. He's averaging 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.7 blocks, 0.5 assists and 0.1 steals in 11.8 minutes per game over 13 appearances with the Hornets this season.

The Hornets recalled Salaun from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.

With Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate facing potential suspensions after being ejected following a brawl that broke out during Monday's 110-104 loss to Detroit, Salaun will be called up to provide reinforcement in the frontcourt. Expect the second-year player to be included in the rotation in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Monk (illness) didn't play in Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Monk has missed two straight games due to an illness, and his final chance to suit up before the All-Star break will come Wednesday in Utah. After the break, it's unclear what Monk's role will be, but that'll likely depend on the health of Zach LaVine (finger), Keegan Murray (ankle) and De'Andre Hunter (eye). From Jan. 9 through Feb. 6, Monk appeared in 14 of 16 games, averaging 14.4 points, 3.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game.

Wagner produced 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 118-99 victory over the Bucks.

Wagner returned from a nine-game absence Monday, and he operated under strict restrictions off the bench. He seemed to be moving around well, and his minutes likely continue to ramp up. Fantasy managers will be hoping he's back to full steam after the All-Star break.

Walker was a healthy inactive Monday for the 76ers' 135-118 loss to the Trail Blazers.

A frequent member of the Philadelphia rotation throughout the season, Walker hasn't suited up in three consecutive games after exhausting his eligibility at the NBA level. Since the two-way player has already been active for the maximum 50 games at the NBA level, Walker will need to be converted to a standard contract in order to play for the 76ers again this season. In the meantime, Walker will be able to compete in games with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats under his current contract, though Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com suggests that the 23-year-old forward is unlikely to be assigned to the G League and would presumably be cut so that the 76ers could sign a new player to a two-way deal that would be able to move between both the NBA and G League levels.

Mashack tallied 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 22 minutes Monday in the Grizzlies' 114-113 loss to the Warriors.

With the Grizzlies being hit by injuries and the availability of multiple players in flux in recent days after Memphis overhauled its roster ahead of last week's trade deadline, Mashack has been able to get a foothold in the rotation of late. Listed at just 6-foot-3 and 197 pounds, Mashack's 6-foot-9 wingspan has allowed him to play on the wing, where he's quickly established a reputation as a disruptive defender. While playing at least 20 minutes in each of the past four games, Mashack has averaged an impressive 3.5 steals per contest. The rookie second-round pick typically isn't as involved on the offensive end, but thanks to some red-hot shooting Monday, he was able to establish a new career-high mark in scoring. Mashack's recent production puts him on the radar as a streaming option for steals, though he could see his minutes get cut significantly if Memphis gets at least one or two of Cedric Coward -- who left Monday's game early with a knee injury -- Santi Aldama (knee) or Walter Clayton (knee) back in action for Wednesday's tilt with the Nuggets.

Prosper (two-way) was inactive for Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.

Prosper had logged double-digit minutes in each of the Grizzlies' previous eight games, but Memphis elected to keep him inactive Monday, despite five players being ruled out with injuries and 10-day signee Lawson Lovering having yet to join the team. The Grizzlies likely decided to hold Prosper out in order to manage his availability; the two-way player has already suited up for 37 games with Memphis this season, meaning that he can be active for just 13 more contests before he would need to be converted to a standard deal to be eligible to play at the NBA level. With that in mind, expect Prosper's appearances to be somewhat sporadic moving forward, especially as the Memphis frontcourt gradually gets strengthened by the returns of Santi Aldama (knee), Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) from injury.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said on The Fan Morning Show on Tuesday that Zubac (ankle) will miss the next two games for Indiana.

After being acquired from the Clippers on Thursday, Zubac's debut continues to be put on hold due to a left ankle sprain. For now, it remains to be seen if Zubac will be able to return right after the All-Star break Feb. 19 against the Wizards.
