Koloko backed up Onyeka Okongwu (12/10/2 with a block in 31 minutes) at center, and he logged more minutes than Mouhamed Gueye (seven points and six rebounds in 13 minutes). Koloko is on a two-way deal, but he could see meaningful minutes until Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) returns to the lineup. The former is worth a look in deep leagues only.

Porzingis is participating in basketball activity, but he's still at least a week away from returning to the court. Onyeka Okongwu has been soaking up minutes in KP's absence, and he's been a strong producer for fantasy managers. Mouhamed Gueye has earned some additional backup minutes, but he's only worth a look in deep leagues.
