Sharpe (hamstring) recorded four points (0-2 FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes off the bench in Monday's 128-102 loss to the Bulls.

The Nets were shorthanded Monday with eight players sitting out with injuries, but the return of Sharpe at least helped shore up the Nets' depth in the frontcourt to some degree. Sharpe -- who had missed the Nets' first 21 games of the season with a left hamstring strain -- settled in as the backup center behind starter Nic Claxton, but it's unclear if the Nets will have room in the rotation for Sharpe once the club is back to full strength. At least until Noah Clowney (ankle) is cleared to play, however, Sharpe should have a regular spot on the second unit.

Gobert chipped in 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-80 victory over the Lakers.

Gobert was one of the best players for the Timberwolves in this victory, missing just one shot from the field and also leading the team in the rebounding category. This was Gobert's first double-double since the Nov. 24 loss to the Celtics, and the veteran big man has reached that threshold nine times across 20 contests in 2024-25.

Davis logged 12 points (4-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves.

Davis had a rough shooting performance and ended up with more field goal attempts than points scored, something that's quite uncommon for the star big man. Davis should be able to bounce back relatively soon, as he's simply too talented to post these numbers on a regular basis going forward. That said, and as good as he's been this season, it's worth noting Davis has failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his last six outings.

Vucevic closed with 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 128-102 win over Brooklyn.

Vucevic couldn't repeat the season-high 32-point output he delivered in the loss to Boston on Nov. 29, but at least he managed to extend his streak of double-doubles to four contests. He's reached that mark in six of his last eight appearances, a span in which he's averaging 22.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest.

Claxton ended Monday's 128-102 loss to Chicago with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.

The Nets looked outmatched on both ends of the court in this matchup, but Claxton was one of the few decent performers for Brooklyn while ending just two boards away from a double-double. Claxton has struggled with injuries of late, which have caused him to miss five of the Nets' last 10 games. He's averaging 7.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game across eight starts.

Adebayo produced 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 108-89 loss to the Celtics.

Adebayo seemed to draw a softer assignment with the Celtics opting to rest Kristaps Porzingis, but he still had some trouble with the defense of Luke Kornet, who rejected a season-high six shots. Adebayo has established himself as a safe fantasy asset in recent seasons, but his surge in three-point attempts per game (2.8) has been a double-edged sword in nine-category leagues, adding another dimension to his value at the cost of a career-low 41.9 percent shooting clip from the field in 19 games this year. Fantasy managers hope Adebayo's efficiency will climb back up closer to his career norms as the second quarter of the 2024-25 campaign gets underway, but the 27-year-old, three-time All-Star is averaging a productive 14.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes per game over his last six outings.

Kornet produced six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, three assists and six blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.

Making his third start of the season, Kornet swatted a season-high six shots while filling in at center for the resting Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford on the second night of a back-to-back set. Kornet did a fine job defending Bam Adebayo, who went just 6-for-18 from the field for the Heat. Kornet doesn't necessarily have a defined role in Boston's rotation on a nightly basis, but he's been effective in 10 appearances as a starter since 2023-24, averaging 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game while shooting 74.6 percent from the floor during this period dating back to last season. The 29-year-old veteran big man is a worthy plug-and-play option for fantasy managers on occasions that he joins the first unit, which is something to watch out for when the Celtics play back-to-back games once again Friday against the Bucks and Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Capela registered nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 124-112 victory over New Orleans.

Capela continues to outplay Onyeka Okongwu, serving as the primary center option in Atlanta. Although his offensive game is not what it used to be, he still provides elite defensive numbers while also crashing the boards with regularity. He has recorded at least 13 rebounds in three straight games, adding a combined 11 steals and blocks. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he has played in every game thus far, allowing him to continue to build chemistry with some of his newer teammates.

Theis totaled three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

Theis continues to be a non-factor, as he's scored in single digits in every game this season. After starting the first five games, his role has shifted to that of a backup. In 17 games he is averaging just 3.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game. It is clear that Theis simply isn't the player he once was.

Missi registered 23 points (11-14 FG, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

Missi recorded his third double-double in the past five games, including a career-high 21 points. Despite a brief trip to the locker room, Missi was able to return to action, also playing a career-high 35 minutes. The Pelicans are facing an uphill battle to make the playoffs, having won just four of their first 22 games. That could ensure Missi sticks in a sizeable role, even when they do get their full roster back on the court.
