Ivica Zubac - Huge double-double in Sunday's winZubac accumulated 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-3 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 116-102 win over the Lakers.
ImpactThe 27-year-old center has been dominating the glass of late, ripping down 16 or more boards in four of the last seven games. Over that stretch, Zubac is averaging 15.4 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.3 blocks while shooting 64.8 percent from the floor.

Rui Hachimura - Pops for 19 in Sunday's lossHachimura recorded 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-102 loss to the Clippers.
ImpactThe 26-year-old forward put together a solid performance, but sustained success continues to elude Hachimura. He's scored in double digits in three straight games, but his longest such streak of the season is only five contests. Over eight appearances in January, Hachimura is averaging 12.4 points, 4.8 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.4 threes while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor, and his usage isn't likely to increase as long as LeBron James and Anthony Davis remain healthy and the focal points of the Lakers' offense.
