Kobe Brown SF | LAC
Clippers' Kobe Brown: Plays 25 minutes off bench
Brown logged nine points (2-10 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to Memphis.
Brown didn't have much success shooting the ball, but the Clippers continue to give him extended run with the second unit. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaged 6.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals on 35.9 percent shooting from the field in 18.7 minutes per contest.

Norman Powell SG | MIA
Heat's Norman Powell: Ties team high in scoring
Powell ended with 20 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to the Raptors.
Powell tied for the team lead in points during Monday's low-scoring affair, and his contributions from the foul line helped offset a poor shooting display from the floor. The swingman's usage has held up well since Tyler Herro (toe) made his season debut in late November, with Powell averaging 22.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game in his last seven outings.

Bogdan Bogdanovic SG | LAC
Clippers' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Sees 19 minutes in loss
Bogdanovic posted seven points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to Memphis.
Bogdanovic continues to be used sparingly by the Clippers despite the team's struggles. The veteran guard has produced decent numbers over his last three appearances, averaging 8.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 three-pointers on 47.1 percent shooting from the field in 22.0 minutes per game during that span. If the team makes some changes ahead of the deadline, Bogdanovic could find more room to breathe in the offense.

Javonte Green SG | DET
Pistons' Javonte Green: Sees 14 minutes in win
Green produced eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and three steals over 14 minutes during Monday's 112-105 win over the Celtics.
With the Pistons at full strength, Green has seen his minutes take a hit. Over his last five outings, the 32-year-old forward has averaged 7.8 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 14.3 minutes per contest.

N'Faly Dante C | ATL
Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Transferred to G League
The Hawks assigned Dante (concussion) to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
Dante is set to continue his recovery from a concussion in the G League. Even when he clears the protocol, however, Dante is more likely to stick with the Skyhawks than join the Hawks for meaningful playing time.

Trae Young PG | ATL
Hawks' Trae Young: Assigned to G League
Atlanta assigned Young (knee) to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
This is another step in the right direction for Young, who has been sidelined by a sprained MCL since late October. If the star point guard gets through this rehab assignment without any issues, he could be cleared for a return at some point in December.

Jock Landale C | MEM
Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Scores eight off bench in win
Landale racked up eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-103 win over the Clippers.
Landale was a regular starter when Zach Edey (ankle) was sidelined to begin the season, but this time around, Santi Aldama is getting a shot with the first five. Regardless, Landale has begun to see an increased role again, playing at least 20 minutes in his last three appearances. Landale should get to see plenty of opportunities at center until Edey is cleared to suit up again.

Santi Aldama PF | MEM
Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Quiet outing in win
Aldama produced three points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Clippers.
Despite starting a second straight game in Zach Edey's (ankle) absence, Aldama had one of his worst performances of the season, which can primarily be attributed to the respective scoring explosions of Jaren Jackson (31) and Cam Spencer (27). After dropping exactly 22 points in his last two appearances, Aldama cooled off but will look to bounce back Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Grabs seven boards in win
Caldwell-Pope closed Monday's 121-103 victory over the Clippers with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals over 23 minutes.
While Caldwell-Pope did not take many shots Monday, he contributed in other ways, dishing out six assists, grabbing a season-high seven rebounds and tacking on two steals. Caldwell-Pope figures to retain a sizable role off the bench, though his production has failed to impress during his first season in Memphis.

Isaiah Collier PG | UTA
Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Near double-double in win
Collier had 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Collier has dished at least seven assists in three of his last four appearances and has seen more minutes recently. While Keyonte George will likely retain his role as the team's starting point guard, Collier has proven value off the bench and is a great source of assists for fantasy managers.
