After having his worst performance of the season in Utah on Saturday, Clingan responded with a monster outing. He set season highs for both points and rebounds in what ended up being his first double-double of the season. It has been a disappointing start to the year for Clingan, mostly because his minutes have been down. He surpassed 30 minutes for the first time this season and immediately dominated. Hopefully that’s a trend that continues, though that may require specific matchups. Their next game against the Suns on Wednesday probably isn’t the ideal scenario for Clingan to play a ton.

Avdija stayed hot in this one, and he has now scored at least 20 points in five straight games after being held to 18 points in the season opener. Most of his numbers this season are similar to last year, though his assists are slightly down. The main drop off has been his free throw percentage. After shooting 80.2 percent last year, he’s at 66.7 percent so far this season. If that improves, his overall fantasy value should jump back up.

Green picked up two technical fouls early in the third quarter. After Suns center Khaman Maluach bumped him, Green got up, wrapped up Maluach, and threw him to the ground. The second technical was assessed when Green got into it with Dillon Brooks, who also received a technical foul. Green (4/4/2/1) was replaced in the lineup by Charles Bassey.

Wembanyama had a quieter offensive night after scoring at least 29 points in each of his last three games entering play Monday. Still, Wemby filled up the box score other than missing all five of his three-point attempts. The 22-year-old center is still in for a monster week with three more games, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks at home Wednesday.

Harper was excellent in the win over the Jazz, leading the Spurs in points and minutes. The 20-year-old point guard was three rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double. Harper made the play of the game midway through the third quarter when he grabbed a steal on one end and threw an alley-oop to Stephon Castle on the other.

Goodwin played 10 first-half minutes off the bench before exiting with a right calf injury. His absence likely means Ryan Dunn will pick up additional minutes off the bench.

With Zach Edey in foul trouble and Quinten Post sidelined with an ankle injury, Stewart ended up playing just under 28 minutes in this game. Beef Stew has averaged 18.7 points per game over their last three while hitting two shots from beyond the arc in each. He has been an incredible addition for Memphis this season and has been a big part of their early-season success. However, the fantasy production will be inconsistent, even if he has been hot as of late.

Jerome returned to the lineup after missing Saturday’s game against the Kings with a back issue. He also popped up on the injury report with the back injury ahead of Thursday’s game, and while he played through it, he struggled mightily. It doesn’t appear that it’s bothering him anymore. Jerome had his second 40-point game of the season, and while it wasn’t enough to keep Memphis’ winning streak alive, it was still another monster performance for Jerome, who should continue to produce at a high level for fantasy managers for the rest of the season.

After dishing out 13 assists as a starter on Saturday, Spencer returned to his typical reserve role. However, that didn’t stop the dimes from dropping. He now has 28 assists over their last three games, and he matched his season high for scoring in this one. Spencer’s fantasy impact will be capped with Ty Jerome ahead of him, but he can still make an impact in limited action. He should also be streamed in when Jerome is sidelined.

Despite Mitchell Robinson being available after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Magic, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla stuck with Queta as his starting center. The points, rebounds and percentages were good, but those rostering Queta likely hoped to get some defensive production as well. Queta played 26 minutes to Robinson’s 15, a promising development for those rostering the former if that minutes split holds.
