Capela closed with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to the Lakers.

Alperen Sengun (back) sat this contest out, allowing Capela to grab a fill-in start at center. Capela has been used sparingly by the Rockets this season. However, if Sengun continues to miss time, Capela will be a viable streaming option for rebounds, defensive stats and field-goal percentage.

McNeeley (ankle) isn't listed on the team's injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Miami.

McNeeley has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury, but he's been given a clean bill of health after being left off the injury report. He isn't currently part of Charlotte's rotation, so while he'll be available Tuesday, he's unlikely to see any action.

Garland collected 25 points (9-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to San Antonio.

Garland pieced together yet another impressive all-around performance, but it wasn't enough to will LA to a victory. He scored 20-plus points for a fifth straight game and recorded his first double-double since returning from a right big toe sprain by making his mark as a facilitator. The Clippers will gear up for a back-to-back set later in the week, so it's possible that Garland will sit either Wednesday or Thursday in an effort to keep him healthy.

Poole notched four points (2-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and two blocks in 18 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over the Mavericks.

Poole was back in the rotation for the first time in the past eight games, likely as a result of Dejounte Murray being ruled out due to illness. In what has been a frustrating season for Poole, this appearance is likely to be a cameo rather than what to expect moving forward. Barring a shift in the teams' direction, Poole seems destined to spend a lot more time on the bench.

Missi recorded four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks across 28 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over the Mavericks.

Missi moved into the starting lineup, with Dejounte Murray ruled out due to illness. Rather than replace Murray, the coaching staff decided to shuffle the rotation, allowing Missi to slide into the starting center role. Rewarding anyone who took a chance on him, Missi turned in a solid performance, including a season-high five blocks. While Missi is a name to monitor, recent games would suggest that he is nothing more than a streaming consideration on most nights.

Bey posted 23 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over the Mavericks.

Bey got back on track, scoring double digits for the first time in his past three games. In what has been a breakout season for Bey, he had been in a minor slump of late. The production had been underwhelming, but it appears his role is secure, as he has played at least 29 minutes in all but one of his past 10 games. With New Orleans looking to win, despite its record, Bey remains a must-roster player across all formats.

Poulakidas provided three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 129-111 loss to the Pelicans.

Poulakidas remained in the rotation, suiting up for just the third time this season. Currently on a two-way deal, there is a chance Poulakidas could find himself on the floor a little more as the season winds down. With that said, he is not someone managers need to concern themselves with at this point.

Middleton supplied six points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 18 minutes during Monday's 129-111 loss to New Orleans.

Middleton scored no more than six points for the third straight game, prior to which he erupted for a season-high 35 points. While the talent is still there. Middleton simply can't sustain meaningful production at this point. Even with his 35-point effort, Middleton sits outside the top-150 players in five games over the past week, averaging 13.2 points, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers.

Nembhard registered two points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes during Monday's 129-111 loss to the Pelicans.

Nembhard remained in the starting lineup, making it three straight starts for the rookie. Despite the promotion, production has not followed, averaging just 7.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers during that time. Given his lack of offensive polish, Nembhard should be viewed as nothing more than a potential assists streamer.

Buzelis supplied 29 points (12-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 132-107 win over the Grizzlies.

Buzelis put together another commanding performance, becoming the first Bulls player to record at least 100 three-pointers and 100 blocks in a single season. He is also now one of only two players in the league to have recorded at least 100 three-pointers and 100 blocks this season, the other being Victor Wembanyama. From a fantasy perspective, Buzelis has been a borderline top-40 player in 12 games over the past month, averaging 20.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.7 blocks and 3.1 three-pointers.
