  • Jordan Poole SG | NO

    Pelicans' Jordan Poole: To practice Wednesday

    Poole (quadriceps) is scheduled to go through a full practice Wednesday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Coach James Borrego said Poole was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, and if he responds well in the morning, he could ramp up to being a full participant Wednesday. For now, a return against the Trail Blazers on Thursday hasn't been taken off the table.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Goes through practice

    Sengun (illness) was back at practice Tuesday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Sengun missed the past two games for Houston, but it appears he's trending towards a return. The Rockets don't play again until Thursday, giving him another 48 hours to get back to 100 percent.

  • Kelly Olynyk PF | SA

    Spurs' Kelly Olynyk: Season-high 11 points in win

    Olynyk chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 15 minutes during Monday's 135-132 victory over New Orleans.

    The Spurs continue to limit the minutes of Olynyk, who had his start to the season delayed by heel surgery. Victor Wembanyama (calf) is traveling with the team ahead of Wednesday's showdown with the Lakers, so Olynyk appears to be clinging to fantasy relevance. The veteran center has averaged 4.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 11.0 minutes per night across 13 games this season.

  • Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Falling behind Huff at center

    Jackson totaled zero points (0-2 FG), seven rebounds, two blocks and three steals in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over the Kings.

    Jackson drew some preseason sleeper buzz following Myles Turner's offseason departure, but he simply hasn't been able to gain much traction in 2025-26. Jay Huff appears to be taking over at center, leading the league with 2.5 blocks per game. As for Jackson, he has averaged an efficient 7.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 18.0 minutes per contest over his last six games (no starts), though Monday's scoreless outing was his first since the season opener.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Cools off Monday

    Vassell chipped in five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes during Monday's 135-132 victory over New Orleans.

    With Stephon Castle returning to the lineup and Dylan Harper finding his stride, Vassell saw his usage rate dip Monday. The Spurs will also get Victor Wembanyama (calf) back in the near future, further increasing the competition for touches in San Antonio. Vassell remains a solid fantasy asset, however, as his ability to contribute across the board helps his case.

  • Zach LaVine SG | SAC

    Kings' Zach LaVine: Inconsistent season continues

    LaVine recorded 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

    LaVine got off to a torrid start in 2025-26, scoring at least 30 points in five of his first six games, but the campaign has quickly become an erratic one since then. The star guard is struggling to do much outside of the scoring department, averaging 17.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 32.3 minutes per contest across his last 16 games.

  • Saddiq Bey SF | NO

    Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Remains relevant Monday

    Bey registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.

    Despite the return of Herbert Jones, Bey remained heavily involved for the Pelicans with the team deploying a small-ball lineup. With Zion Williamson (adductor) unable to stay healthy, Bey's window for fantasy relevance could stay wide open for the foreseeable future.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Woeful shooting display off bench

    Reid ended with six points (2-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.

    Despite Rudy Gobert's ejection in the third quarter, Reid couldn't find his shooting touch Monday and failed to capitalize on the extra minutes. Even so, Reid has been very effective overall as of late, having averaged 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest over his last 13 games.

  • Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Posts dud against Spurs

    Fears contributed five points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.

    Jordan Poole (quadriceps) has been sidelined since Nov. 4, and it's still unclear when he'll return to the lineup. Poole's eventual return could muddy the waters for Fears, so duds like the ones he produced Monday will not help his case.

  • Micah Peavy SF | NO

    Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Logs 13 minutes in loss

    Peavy supplied four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over 13 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.

    Peavy has seen his role steadily increase ever since his spot start Nov. 22 against Atlanta, averaging just 2.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals across 14.7 minutes in his last three games after averaging 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.7 steals across 24.6 minutes in the five games prior. With the return of Herbert Jones (calf), it appears Peavy's role will continue on this downward trend.
