Duren contributed 24 points (10-12 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Duren's career-best season continued Sunday despite the Pistons dropping this contest. Across 53 regular-season appearances, Duren is averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Poeltl finished with 16 points (8-9 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 win over the Mavericks.

Poeltl is seemingly turning a corner with his back issue and is trending up in fantasy hoops. Over his last five games, he's been a second-round value in nine-category leagues with averages of 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Allen is out for Monday's game against the 76ers with right knee tendonitis.

Allen is missing a second consecutive contest, and it's unclear if the star big man has resumed practicing. Evan Mobley will likely start at center again, while Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should both play an expanded role in Allen's absence, making both players worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Wagner recorded three points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and nine rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 win over the Bucks.

Wagner continues to play a minor role off the Orlando bench. Across 23 appearances, he's averaging 13.1 minutes per contest with 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 45.3 percent shooting from the field.

Queen amassed 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 25 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 win over Washington.

Queen has been a volatile fantasy asset lately, but Sunday's game was a step in the right direction. Over his last eight outings, the rookie has seen 21.1 minutes per contest with 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.8 blocks on 39.7 percent shooting from the field.

Wembanyama chipped in 29 points (9-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 145-120 victory over the Rockets.

It's easy to run out of adjectives to state how good Wembanyama has been of late, as the star big man continues to fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the court. This win over the Rockets was the third straight game in which Wembanyama recorded at least 27 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. He's averaging 21.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 4.5 blocks and 1.2 steals per game since the All-Star break.

Sarr closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 18 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Sarr returned from a 10-game absence and was limited to a modest workload by design. The Wizards may continue that trend, and maintenance days are likely to be part of the equation for all the key players. Whenever Sarr is active, Julian Reese will lose upside.

Sengun finished with 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 145-120 loss to San Antonio.

Sengun has been a bit inconsistent with his scoring lately and has failed to reach 20 points in four of his last six appearances. Over that stretch, the skilled big man is still averaging 20.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks per game, so Sengun remains a strong fantasy option even if his numbers have been trending slightly down of late.

Huff ended with 16 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Huff needed 15 shots and made only 30 percent of his threes en route to his 16-point outing, but his real value came on the defensive end with six combined steals-plus-blocks. Huff has scored in double digits while providing multiple blocks in three of his last four starts, and he's averaging 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game since the All-Star break.

Maluach accumulated four points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Hornets.

Mark Williams (foot) will be out for a few more weeks, and although Oso Ighodaro has the inside track for Williams' minutes, the team will give their 2025 lottery pick every opportunity to make an impact. The Duke product has struggled to stay healthy, but Maluach made great strides in the G League and should serve as the team's second option under the basket until Williams returns.
