Edgecombe amassed 24 points (8-18 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 win over Minnesota.

Edgecombe was dialed in from long range, helping the 76ers to a decisive win over Minnesota. The rookie has now scored 20 or more points in two of his last three games. His six made threes also set a new career high for the Baylor product.

The Warriors have ruled out Porzingis (illness) for game Tuesday in New Orleans and Wednesday in Memphis, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports Monday.

Porzingis didn't travel with the Warriors for their upcoming back-to-back set after he was initially listed as probable ahead of Sunday's 128-117 win over the Nuggets before being downgraded to questionable and then ruled out prior to tipoff. The Warriors haven't indicated that Porzingis' setback on the health front is a major concern, but he'll likely need to resume practicing Thursday and/or Friday to have any chance at being available for the start of the team's homestand Saturday versus the Lakers. With Porzingis out for the two-game road trip, Quinten Post could maintain a minor role in the Golden State rotation.

Williams finished Sunday's 134-130 victory over the Pacers with 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), one rebound, seven assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes.

Williams continues to act as a spark plug off the bench for the Mavericks. Over his last five appearances, Williams is averaging 13.6 points, 4.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.2 minutes per game while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor.

Johnson totaled nine points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Sunday's 128-117 loss to the Warriors.

While the overall shooting line was poor, the minutes are very encouraging from a fantasy perspective. With so many injuries in Denver, Johnson is someone to monitor closely in case he can quickly find his offensive rhythm.

Braun closed Sunday's 128-117 loss to the Warriors with 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes.

Braun has struggled with injuries this season and has been inconsistent for the most part, but he's suddenly trending up in a big way. Over his last five outings, he's seeing 33.5 minutes per contest with 14.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Cooper ended Sunday's 129-112 loss to the Hornets with nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes.

Although he mostly played for the G League's Capital City Go-Go during the first half of the campaign, Cooper is carving out a solid role for the parent club. Over his last seven appearances, Cooper has averaged 12.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per game.

Clowney amassed 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-104 loss to the Hawks.

Clowney continues to play a key role for Brooklyn, but his fantasy output has been modest. Over his last four games, he's seeing 26.3 minutes per contest with 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers on 44.4 percent shooting from the field.

Murray (Achilles) said Monday that he'll play in Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

It sets the stage for Murray to make his highly anticipated return to the court after rupturing his Achilles in January of last year. The star guard may not start in his season debut, but he could eventually force someone like Saddiq Bey or Herbert Jones into a reserve role. Considering it's been over a full calendar year since Murray last suited up, he's likely to face a significant minutes restriction Tuesday.

Dort ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 victory over the Cavaliers.

Despite sizable workloads, Dort continues to leave a lot to be desired in fantasy hoops. Over his last five outings, Dort has seen 29.0 minutes per contest, but he ranks outside the top-200 in nine-category formats in that span with 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Carrington accumulated six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.

Despite Sunday's dud, Carrington should remain Washington's top point guard until Trae Young (knee, quadriceps) is ready to make his team debut. Carrington has started 10 appearances in a row, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per game.
