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.

Timberwolves' Joan Beringer: Assigned to G League
Minnesota assigned Beringer to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Tuesday.
Minnesota's rookie is heading to Iowa to get some live reps. He will be available to play in Friday's G League game against the Motor City Cruise, and he'll likely be recalled shortly after.

Jose Alvarado PG | NO
Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Dishes six assists in loss
Alvarado finished Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
In addition to scoring 10 points on two threes made, Alvarado also notched his second block of the season and extended his streak of games with at least one steal to four. Alvarado has been important for New Orleans, backing up rookie Jeremiah Fears off the bench and averaging 13.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.6 threes on a 40.4 percent clip across 28.3 minutes in his last eight games.

Immanuel Quickley PG | TOR
Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Downgraded to questionable
Quickley (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Quickley was a late addition to the injury report. He played through this same illness Sunday, finishing with 11 points in 31 minutes. It sounds like the guard is shaping up to be a game-time call.

Keldon Johnson SF | SA
Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Scores 12 off bench in win
Johnson notched 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 135-132 win over the Pelicans.
Johnson has been one of San Antonio's best players off the bench, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.1 blocks and 2.6 threes across 24.0 minutes this season. While it is unlikely he will ever crack the starting lineup, Johnson has shown the ability to produce in a large role off the bench.

Jeremy Sochan SF | SA
Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Plays just four minutes in win
Sochan recorded two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds over four minutes during Monday's 135-132 victory over the Pelicans.
Sochan saw his fewest minutes total in a game this season Monday, which is baffling considering he averaged 21.0 minutes in his last three appearances. Sochan's role has been very inconsistent, and should not be treated as a roster priority in most fantasy formats.

De'Aaron Fox PG | SA
Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Dishes seven assists in win
Fox produced 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 135-132 victory over New Orleans.
Fox has been great as both a facilitator and scorer for San Antonio's offense, averaging 25.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.4 threes made across 31.7 minutes in his last seven games. With Victor Wembanyama (calf) poised to return in the coming days, the Spurs could finally be fully healthy, as he and Fox have only played four total games together this season.

Mike Conley PG | MIN
Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Scoreless in 15 minutes
Conley notched zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to Phoenix.
Conley has not contributed much from a scoring perspective, averaging just 3.4 points on a meager 27.0 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three in his last nine games. As a starter, Conley averages 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 threes made on a 47.1 percent clip, so he would only be fantasy relevant if he joins the first unit in the future.

Donte DiVincenzo SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Quiet outing in loss
DiVincenzo registered two points (1-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
DiVincenzo has not been efficient with the ball in his last two games, shooting a combined 3-for-13 from the field and 1-for-10 from three. In six games before this cold streak, DiVincenzo averaged 15.2 points and 4.0 threes made on a blistering 41.4 percent clip, so he will likely eventually bounce back, with his next opportunity to do so being Friday against the Warriors.

Ryan Dunn SG | PHO
Suns' Ryan Dunn: Collects eight rebounds in win
Dunn amassed two points (1-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 108-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Dunn hasn't been much of a scoring factor since returning from a wrist injury that sidelined him for five games, averaging 4.0 points on shooting just 31.3 percent from the field in his last three appearances. However, he has been a force defensively, averaging 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals in that span, and he will likely remain with the second unit in the foreseeable future despite starting 11 games this season.
