Cryer picked up meaningful minutes in a blowout win due to Will Richard (thumb) and Gary Payton (knee) being unavailable, and he knocked down a pair of triples. Much of his playing time came in garbage time. He's unlikely to hold fantasy value outside of deep leagues once Golden State's backcourt gets healthy.
Melton continued his hot shooting from beyond the arc, connecting on four of eight attempts. With Will Richard (thumb) and Gary Payton (knee) sidelined, Melton saw plenty of backcourt minutes in the blowout. His threes and steals make him a solid streaming option while Golden State's guard rotation is thin.
Bassey was efficient around the rim and pulled down three offensive rebounds on his way to a double-double in just 18 minutes during a blowout win. He's back in a reserve role with Draymond Green healthy, and Bassey's minutes fluctuate depending on matchups, so he's best left for deeper leagues. Still, his per-minute rebounding is worth monitoring.
Curry didn't need much time to make an impact, scoring 25 points before sitting out most of the second half due to the blowout nature of the contest. He was perfect at the free-throw line again, and he's shooting 98.7 percent from the free-throw line this season. Curry remains one of the league's most efficient high-volume scorers at age 38, and his minutes should return to normal in more competitive games.
Lendeborg was nearly flawless from the field, hitting all four of his three-point attempts. He also filled the box score in just 27 minutes. The rookie continues to look like the Warriors' No. 2 option behind Stephen Curry, and his all-around production should keep him in standard lineups. The lopsided score kept his minutes in check, but he still did plenty even in limited action.
Da Silva was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign, but the severity of the issue remains unclear. If he joins Jalen Suggs (knee) and Paolo Banchero (ankle) on the sidelines, Jase Richardson, Jamal Cain and Jevon Carter would be candidates for increased roles.
Butler is likely to remain out for the initial stretch of the G League campaign, although the full extent of his absence is unclear without further information about the injury, with the guard already inactive for several months before the start of the season. His unavailability limits the Skyhawks' options to compete with current starters RayJ Dennis and Keon Johnson.
Young put in a solid all-around effort as he shot and distributed the ball well, leading his team in assists during the victory. Despite his complete lack of three-point efficiency, his success across a variety of categories is a promising sign after he was promoted into the starting lineup, a place that he'll look to retain in future clashes to help his squad extend its two-game winning run.
Manon put in a great performance Monday, showing a meaningful upgrade from his opening game efficiency of 42.9 percent to 52.6 percent from the field this time. He added a game-high 13 rebounds to complete his first G League double-double of the season. While he's signed to a two-way deal, Manon has rarely played for the NBA side, and most of his workload is likely to come with the affiliate club in the short term.
Telfort remained busy in offensive duties during his side's second game of the Tip-Off Tournament. The forward has been consistent so far around averages of 20.5 points, 4.0 three-pointers, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He'll look to continue improving his efficiency if he stays put in the starting lineup for upcoming contests.
Martinelli continued to stand out for San Diego during his second consecutive G League start, having now tallied more than 20 points in each of those outings. He's also available for the NBA Clippers as a two-way player, but he has yet to earn a significant role on that front despite producing a few points every time he gets involved in the rotation, usually with limited minutes. He could be expected to retain a more consistent spot in the affiliate team going forward.
Lanier has made only four appearances for the Pistons this campaign, failing to record double-digit minutes or points in any of them. Moving between the NBA and G League teams is nothing new for him, given that he played 22 games for Motor City last season. If he continues to see extended outings in the development league, Lanier could make a scoring impact close to his average of 19.0 points per game in the 2025-26 campaign with the Cruise.
Cenac has rejoined the NBA Celtics ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers, in which he's expected to serve as a bench option and is not guaranteed to see minutes of play. The young center is coming off a pair of appearances at the G League level, averaging 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest in that span.
Washington fell one rebound shy of a double-double while delivering four combined defensive stats, helping compensate for an inefficient shooting performance. Washington has had some ups and downs, but overall, he's putting up solid numbers across the board. He's averaging 15.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest over his last five outings.
Irving produced an outstanding offensive performance, connecting on seven three-pointers while shooting efficiently from the field, but his limitations in other categories were subpar or nonexistent. His four assists show he's now a secondary playmaker behind Cooper Flagg, who notched six assists despite not being the default point guard. Still, Irving's elite shot-making continues to provide substantial fantasy upside, especially when his perimeter shooting reaches this level, but an uptick in assists or more consistent output in other categories would boost his fantasy profile considerably.
Nesmith connected on four three-pointers while maintaining a substantial workload, but his overall shooting efficiency remained inconsistent. Nesmith remains a useful perimeter scoring option, particularly in deeper category leagues, with his production heavily dependent on three-point volume and defensive contributions. A bit more consistency in the scoring column would go a long way, as he's scored in double digits in six of his last eight games but has surpassed the 15-point threshold three times in that span.
Nembhard delivered an excellent playmaking performance, recording 12 assists while committing just three turnovers. His scoring output remained modest, but his heavy workload and double-digit assists supported his fantasy value. Nembhard continues to offer considerable upside as a facilitator, particularly in category formats, although his limited scoring volume can restrict his overall ceiling. But until Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) returns, Nembhard should be the Pacers' go-to playmaking option, which helps explain his 8.5 assists per game over his last six appearances.
Zubac scored efficiently around the basket, converting five of seven field-goal attempts and making six free throws. However, his three rebounds were disappointing for a starting center, and he recorded no defensive stats. Zubac's fantasy value remains closely tied to rebounding and field-goal efficiency, making this a relatively underwhelming performance despite his scoring contribution.
VanVleet provided efficient perimeter shooting but struggled to contribute beyond scoring, recording just two assists and no defensive stats. The limited playmaking was disappointing for fantasy managers. VanVleet's three-point production still offers value, but his fantasy reliability depends on generating more assists and steals. Staying under the 20-point threshold with subpar numbers in other categories simply won't cut it.
Smith maintained a heavy workload, and while his perimeter shooting was subpar, he still posted a solid line across the board, finishing just three boards shy of a double-double. Smith's value in category formats depends on improved three-point efficiency and more consistent contributions in steals and blocks, but he has a solid foundation. He has recorded at least 14 points and seven rebounds in four of his last five appearances.
Sengun delivered another outstanding all-around performance, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double while matching Nikola Jokic blow for blow. His 11 rebounds included five offensive boards, highlighting his impact around the basket, and he fell just one shy of matching his season-high output in that category. Sengun's combination of scoring, rebounding and playmaking continues to provide an excellent fantasy foundation across all formats as one of the best centers in fantasy this season.
Johnson had a quiet offensive outing, taking just six shots despite playing 31 minutes. His two steals added some defensive value, but his limited scoring and rebounding significantly reduced his fantasy impact. Johnson's perimeter shooting remains his primary fantasy asset, although his relatively narrow statistical profile makes him vulnerable to inconsistent shot volume. He's having a down year and has scored 12 or fewer points in five of his six appearances to date.
Jokic fell one assist shy of another triple-double while delivering his usual elite rebounding and playmaking production. Although his scoring has been on the low end compared to previous seasons, Jokic's exceptional multi-category consistency keeps him among fantasy basketball's most dependable performers. Over his last five appearances, the star big man has one triple-double and three double-doubles while averaging 24.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.4 steals per contest.
Bridges' run of solid production came to a screeching halt, scoring a season-low seven points as Phoenix was blown out by San Antonio. This game was over early, meaning the starters were limited during the second half. Poor performance aside, Bridges has had a strong start to his career in Phoenix. Through nine games, he has put up second-round value, averaging 15.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes per game.
Spencer made just his fourth appearance of the season, all of which have come during garbage time. Based on what we have seen thus far, he is positioned as the fifth or sixth guard option in Phoenix, meaning he holds little to no fantasy value.
Reath played six minutes during garbage time, continuing to serve as the third-string center behind Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach. He has played in three of the past six games, averaging 3.0 points in 4.8 minutes per contest.
Jones Garcia logged a season-high eight minutes, albeit during garbage time. He has appeared in three games thus far, scoring a total of four points. At this point, he is so buried on the depth chart that even those in the deepest of leagues can safely leave him on the waiver wire.
Johnson has been largely a non-factor in fantasy leagues thus far, despite averaging more minutes per game than last season. His scoring has fallen from 13.2 points per game during the 2025-26 campaign to just 7.8 this season, leaving him well outside the top 250 in standard leagues.
Bryant played 14 minutes off the bench, maintaining a limited role despite the blowout victory. It's been an underwhelming campaign thus far for Bryant, exceeding 15 minutes only twice in 10 appearances. He has barely been a top 400 player to this point, averaging 3.1 points in 10.3 minutes per game.
Battle logged a season-high 29 minutes, scoring double digits for just the third time in 10 appearances. Although he has been an every-night part of the rotation, Battle's opportunities are typically dependent on the availability of others. Based on what we saw to begin the season, he will likely be limited to no more than about 15 minutes if and when the team is fully healthy.
Poeltl played at least 30 minutes for the second straight game, blocking a season-high four shots. The situation in Toronto continues to be a confusing one, with Poeltl looking like a spent force to begin the season. Whereas he now looks like the Poeltl of old, putting up solid contributions on both ends of the floor. While injuries have certainly factored into the minutes available, Poeltl should be added in most leagues to at least see where this goes.
Walter scored double digits for the first time in his past three games, although once again, he lacked peripheral stats. Despite landing an unexpected opportunity due to a knee injury suffered by Kawhi Leonard, Walter has been largely disappointing. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 10.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes per game, leaving him outside the top 200 during that span.
Prosper cracked the rotation for just the fifth time this season, albeit for a brief appearance during garbage time. He has now played a total of 33 minutes, scoring 12 points. Simple maths will tell you that he has no value outside of the deepest leagues.
Murray barely saw the floor Monday, continuing what has been a season with very little to talk about. He has played in seven games thus far, averaging 1.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per contest. Outside of very deep league, he holds no fantasy value.
Edey continues to be a source of frustration as opposed to production, playing limited minutes on a nightly basis despite starting in every game thus far. Coming off a significant injury last season, it appears as though Memphis is taking an ultra-cautious approach, restricting Edey to no more than about 24 minutes per game. Through nine appearances, he is averaging just 8.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, barely making him a top 140 player during that time.
Podziemski teamed up with Stephen Curry to account for 50 points on the way to a blowout victory. The 23-year-old guard has looked sharp from downtown over his last two matchups, hitting nine of 16 attempts. His 25-point showing is his best of the season thus far through nine appearances.
Williams didn't see much action Monday before going down with a hamstring injury. He dealt with a left quadriceps contusion earlier in November and has evidently picked up a hamstring issue on the same leg. Williams is scheduled to undergo an MRI and can be considered day-to-day until further notice, though head coach Steve Kerr didn't seem optimistic.
Booker looked more comfortable from beyond the arc in this one after hitting at a clip of 32.0 percent in his previous three appearances entering Monday. He led the Suns in the scoring department and recorded at least one steal and one block for just the second time through nine games this season. Booker continues to offer up strong production as a scorer and has totaled 30 or more points in three of his last four showings.
Wembanyama was the definition of efficiency Monday, as he nearly recorded a triple-double despite being held to 25 minutes due to a comfortable margin for the Spurs. He needed only 19 attempts from the field to reach the 40-point threshold, a mark he's now hit or surpassed three times in his first 11 appearances of the 2026-27 campaign. Wembanyama also made his presence felt at the other end of the court by setting a season high in swats.
Durant was two assists shy of a triple-double while recording his second straight double-double. Monday also marked consecutive games with 10 or more free throw attempts for the 38-year-old, as he continues to provide multi-category production at an elite level in his 19th NBA season. Durant is averaging career lows in scoring and field goal attempts, but he's still one of the primary reasons Houston is off to an 8-3 start in 2026-27.
Murray turned in an efficient performance en route to a game-high scoring total, albeit in a losing effort. He also tied his season high in blocks, swatting multiple shots for the second time through nine regular-season appearances. The star guard has now reached the 30-point mark four times this season, three of which have come over the last five games.
Trent is set to be available Tuesday following a one-game absence due to an illness. However, he isn't guaranteed to see the floor against New York.
Flagg delivered his best offensive showing of the 2026-27 season so far, beating his previous high of 33 points Oct. 30 against Houston. He also set a season high in rebounds and has now reached double-digit boards three times in 10 matchups. Flagg has now collected four straight double-doubles following Monday's victory.
Siakam torched the nets from downtown Monday, leading the Pacers in triples made en route to a team-best scoring total. The star forward also paced the club in rebounds and finished second in assists, dishing out a season-high eight dimes. Siakam has reached the 20-point threshold in three straight games, shooting 57.4 percent from the field over that stretch.
Shead started his second straight game and notched consecutive double-doubles after he posted 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and a career-high 16 dimes in Friday's 121-107 victory over Milwaukee. Shead has taken advantage of his opportunities in the first unit with Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) on the shelf, and that is likely to continue for as long as the latter is sidelined. Shead offers plenty of streaming upside if he's available on waiver wires, as Toronto has three more contests through Sunday, Nov. 15.
Post suffered a head injury shortly after checking in midway through the first quarter, and he was ultimately unable to gain clearance to return. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Denver until the team has more information to share.
Boozer took advantage of a favorable matchup against the shorthanded Raptors, bouncing back on the offensive end after shooting 2-for-14 from the field in his previous outing. Although his struggles from three-point range continued, the rookie forward still finished as Memphis' second-leading scorer. Additionally, Boozer led the Grizzlies in assists, dishing out at least eight dimes for the second time this season.
Collins recorded his second double-double of the season and hit multiple three-pointers for the third time in 10 outings. He also delivered three defensive stats for the second straight contest, a good sign for fantasy managers after Collins compiled just three steals-plus-blocks over his previous four showings combined.
Davis, who missed his team's previous two matchups due to an ankle injury, wasted no time in proving his health Monday. He pieced together an incredibly efficient 40-plus point performance, needing only 21 attempts from the field to set his best scoring mark of the young season. Davis also crashed the boards to secure a double-double for the third time in his last four appearances.
Alexander-Walker struggled to find the bottom of the net in the loss, but he led the team in scoring by letting it fly. He also bounced back on the opposite end after he was held without a steal or block Saturday against Brooklyn. This was an uncharacteristic shooting performance from the 28-year-old, who was hitting at a clip of 42.7 percent from the field and 42.0 percent from beyond the arc over his previous four appearances entering Monday.
Doncic returned from a one-game absence due to lower-back tightness and poured in 32 points on 22 shots in the absence of Austin Reaves (illness). Doncic led all players in points, assists and steals while tying the game high in blocks, and the superstar nearly recorded his first triple-double of the campaign. He's reached the 30-point mark in each of his last eight appearances and has posted at least five rebounds and five assists in all 10 of his regular-season games this season.
Allen erupted for a game-high 27 points after going scoreless in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics. Monday's outing marked the second straight start for the former Sun, and he's now eclipsed the 20-point threshold in three of his last five games. Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is sidelined for at least another four weeks, so Allen is likely to continue seeing a heavy workload, with Brandon Miller (groin) also out.
Thomas moved to the bench Monday but made the most of his season-high-tying 27 minutes. The rookie second-rounder turned in an efficient performance from downtown, posting a team- and career-best 18 points, 12 of which came in the final quarter. Thomas also tied his career high in steals and swatted a career-best two shots. He has yet to log fewer than 18 minutes in a game since being left out of the rotation in Cleveland's first two regular-season outings, and he should continue providing a spark off the bench when the first unit is at full strength.
Payton was labeled questionable heading into the contest versus New Orleans, so the Warriors are opting to give the veteran some time to rest. His next chance to suit up will come against the Rockets on Wednesday.
As expected, Santos will suit up Monday after initially being added to the injury report as probable. He logged 12 minutes Saturday against Orlando in his first game back since Nov. 1, and while the Warriors will continue to keep a close eye on his workload, he's expected to see more run during Monday's clash, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Jones will earn his fifth start of the 2026-27 campaign with Zion Williamson (rest) out Monday. Jones has averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.5 minutes per tilt across four starts this season.
With Trey Murphy (knees) and Zion Williamson (rest) sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Bey will step into the starting lineup for the first time this season. The 27-year-old forward has logged at least 26 minutes in five straight games, averaging 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 29.6 minutes per contest during that span.
Richard tore the UCL in his left thumb, presumably in Saturday's 126-119 overtime win over Orlando. He and the Warriors continue to look at treatment options for now, though it's possible he'll miss an extended period. De'Anthony Melton, Brandon Williams and Gary Payton (knee), who has been ruled out for Monday's game against New Orleans, will likely see increased burn for as long as Richard is sidelined.
Post logged just two minutes and grabbed one rebound before exiting Monday's contest. Taylor Hendricks figures to see increased burn for as long as Post is sidelined.
Williams will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to lower-back spasms. Aday Mara and Kenrich Williams will likely continue to start for OKC, while Micah Peavy and Bennett Stirtz will keep earning increased playing time off the bench.
Williams received a night off Saturday against San Antonio but will be back in action Tuesday. He's been deployed off the bench in all seven of his appearances this season, averaging 7.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks in 16.4 minutes per game.
With Devin Vassell (groin) unavailable, Champagnie will get the starting nod for the first time this season. He's averaging 10.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks while shooting 44.4 percent from deep in 25.3 minutes per contest across 10 regular-season games.
Johnson was upgraded to probable earlier Monday after being listed as questionable Sunday, and as expected, he will suit up versus Houston. Over his previous two outings, Johnson has a combined 30 points while shooting 6-for-13 from behind the arc.
Gordon was questionable to play versus the Rockets due to left calf injury management, but he's good to suit up and reprise his role in Denver's starting unit.
DeRozan was initially listed as questionable due to lower-back spasms before being upgraded to probable Monday afternoon, and he's since been cleared to suit up. The veteran swingman has averaged 10.0 points, 3.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 24.2 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.
Murray was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to left shin contusion, though he was upgraded to probable earlier Monday and has now been given the green light to suit up. The 29-year-old has scored 30-plus points in three of eight games this season but has cooled off recently, tallying 30 total points over his last two matchups.
Braun was questionable to suit up with a calf contusion and an illness, but he'll shake off both and likely start Monday's contest. He's averaging 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 34.3 minutes across eight outings in 2026-27.
As anticipated, Jokic has been cleared to play Monday after being upgraded to probable earlier in the day. He's yet to miss a game this year and is averaging 22.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.1 blocks over eight appearances.
Raynaud is expected to be re-evaluated soon, though he can be considered week-to-week until the Kings offer an update on his status. Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa will likely continue seeing increased burn in Raynaud's absence.
Murray made his return to the court Sunday against Miami following a seven-game absence due to an ankle injury, and it now appears he's dealing with a wrist issue. The Kings will presumably monitor him closely during shootaround and warmups to determine if he can suit up Tuesday.
Sabonis missed Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Heat with left knee soreness, making it his first absence of the season through 10 games. Dylan Cardwell earned the start with Sabonis sidelined, so if the latter is forced to miss a second straight contest, the former would be the top candidate to start once again.
Goodwin will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right calf injury. Coach Jordan Ott noted Monday that the team is hopeful Goodwin can take the court Tuesday against the Clippers, per Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com. Luke Kennard and Ryan Dunn are candidates for increased playing time in Goodwin's stead.
Anderson will join the starting five for the first time this season due to Scottie Barnes (groin) and Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) sitting Monday. Jamison Battle and Allen Graves could also be in line for more minutes with the Raptors sporting a depleted frontcourt.
George sustained a right ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to Minnesota and will be sidelined for the front end of this back-to-back set. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Orlando, and the 23-year-old's absence should open up additional minutes for guys like Isaiah Collier and Svi Mykhailiuk. Moreover, Darryn Peterson figures to take on additional on-ball duties.
Markkanen was held out Sunday due to a right wrist sprain, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a positive sign. Utah should have another update on the forward's availability closer to tipoff.
Niederhauser has yet to make an appearance this season for the Clippers while rehabbing from foot surgery. It's unclear at this time when he'll be available to take the court, and he can be considered week-to-week until further notice.
Jackson was unable to suit up for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to a groin injury, but he'll be back in the mix for Tuesday's action. The Kentucky product is averaging 8.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals through eight appearances this season but has recently lost hold of his place in the first unit, paving the way for Brook Lopez to make three straight starts.
Ingram is nearing a return to action, though he won't make his season debut Tuesday. The veteran swingman's next opportunity to suit up will come Friday against Oklahoma City.
Christie could be in street clothes for Tuesday's action, which would hurt the Clippers' depth off the bench. His status is unlikely to have a major impact on the rotation, though.
Capela is missing a fourth straight game Monday against Denver due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. He'll presumably need to log 5-on-5 work before gaining clearance to play, though the Rockets haven't disclosed how far along the big man is in his rehab.
The veteran center is still recovering from a right soleus strain and hasn't played since Oct. 23. With Adams and Clint Capela (ankle) both sidelined, Tari Eason and Jabari Smith figure to see increased burn at center.
The Pistons are shaking things up Monday, sending Paul Reed to the bench and moving Jenkins into the first unit. Over 20 career starts, Jenkins has averaged 17.2 points, 7.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game.
Reed averaged 12.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in seven straight starts for the Pistons, but the team has elected to make a lineup change Monday. Daniss Jenkins will enter the first unit in Reed's place.
McConnell will shed his questionable tag due to a right hamstring strain and suit up for a second straight game. The veteran floor general made his season debut in Saturday's loss to Denver, during which he posted six points, two rebounds, an assist and a block in nine minutes.
With Austin Reaves (illness) and Quentin Grimes (finger) sidelined, Williams will join the first unit for the first time since Oct. 27. In four starts this season, he's averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals across 28.5 minutes per tilt.
James will make his ninth start of the season after shifting to the bench for Charlotte's previous two games. He'll take the place of Brandon Miller, who is sidelined Monday with a groin injury.
With Jarrett Allen (knee) back in the lineup, Thomas will retreat to the second unit. The rookie swingman has averaged 12.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 21.4 minutes per contest across five appearances off the bench so far this season.
Allen will make his return following a two-game absence due to a bruised right knee suffered during Wednesday's tilt against the Thunder. Excluding the game he exited early due to injury, the big man is averaging 15.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.7 blocks in 27.7 minutes (seven appearances) so far this year.
The 25-year-old floor general hasn't played since Oct. 25 due to a right knee bone bruise, though he's "progressing positively" and has returned to on-court activity, according to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. The Magic said that Suggs' return will depend on how his knee responds to increased on-court activities, so he can be considered week-to-week until the the team provides another update on his progress.
Isaac has yet to make his 2026-27 debut while continuing his rehab from a left knee injury. He can be considered week-to-week moving forward.
Johnson will miss his first game of the 2026-27 campaign after tallying four points, nine rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes in the first half of a back-to-back set Sunday against Brooklyn. His absence could open up more minutes for Santi Aldama and Moussa Cisse behind starting center Daniel Gafford.
After being out sick for Saturday's loss in Golden State, Bane is feeling well enough to return to the floor for the Magic on Tuesday. His presence should send Tristan da Silva back to the bench, but the latter should still play a significant role for the banged-up Magic.
Antetokounmpo has found his way onto the injury report over Miami's last few matchups due to a wrist issue, but he's yet to miss any time. That trend looks like it will continue Tuesday in Utah.
Coulibaly is missing his first game of the season Monday with a hand injury. Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington both make sense as streaming options for fantasy managers in the short term.
The Wizards considered Davis a true game-time decision after missing two straight games with an ankle injury, but he's managed to prove his health prior to tipoff. He's looked sharp in his last five matchups, averaging 25.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 33.6 minutes per contest.
Quickley will miss a second consecutive contest due to a right hamstring issue, though he's still considered day-to-day. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Boston. Jamal Shead and Alijah Martin should continue seeing increased burn in Quickley's stead.
Murray-Boyles will miss his first game of the season after falling under the weather. Scottie Barnes (groin) is also sidelined Monday, meaning Kyle Anderson, Allen Graves and Jamison Battle could all have a chance to play meaningful minutes.
Barnes will miss a second straight game while battling a left groin strain. Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) is also out Monday, leaving plenty of minutes available for Kyle Anderson, Jamison Battle and Allen Graves in the frontcourt.
Reaves was added to the injury report earlier in the day after being diagnosed with an illness, and he's since been downgraded to out. This will mark his first absence of the 2026-27 campaign, presumably opening up opportunities for Collin Sexton and Cameron Carr.
Herro exited to the locker room during Sunday's loss to the Celtics after suffering a knee injury, though he later returned to the game. However, he's since been added to the injury report with a right knee contusion. If the veteran guard is ultimately ruled out for the front end of this back-to-back set, Brayden Burries and Ryan Rollins would likely see expanded roles. AJ Green could also see increased playing time if Herro is ruled out.
The Hornets initially appeared optimistic about the big man's status for Monday, as he was added to the injury report as questionable Sunday. However, he was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day Monday and has since been ruled out. The Michigan product will miss his second straight matchup due to right quadriceps tendinopathy.
Hart is aiming to avoid missing a third straight contest with the issue. Once Hart is ready to return to the court, Landry Shamet will likely revert back to his typical role off the bench. Hart is also dealing with an illness.
Bona will miss his third consecutive matchup while nursing a cervical spine sprain. Jabari Walker should once again receive extra looks behind Joel Embiid with Bona and Dominick Barlow (back) sidelined.
Landale will make his return to the court after missing four straight matchups due to a hip issue. He was averaging 6.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his first seven games of the 2026-27 campaign before going down with the injury.
The Pelicans are giving the star forward a maintenance day on the second half of this back-to-back, but Williamson should be able to play Wednesday against the Nets. With Trey Murphy (knees) also sidelined, Derik Queen, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones stand out as the most likely candidates to enter the starting lineup Monday.
It was a season-worst showing by Murray, who registered season lows in both points and assists Sunday. The star guard has an opportunity to bounce back Monday in Golden State, where Trey Murphy (knee) will be a spectator for the second leg of this back-to-back set.
Watford presumably picked up a right ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Clippers. His timeline for a return is uncertain. In his absence, DeAndre Jordan could re-enter the rotation, given Yves Missi (knee) remains out indefinitely.
Murphy will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy. The 26-year-old wing's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Brooklyn, and his absence should open up additional minutes for the likes of Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Bennedict Mathurin.
Evans has played a limited role for the parent club, averaging just 2.4 minutes per tilt across five regular-season appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see the rookie guard remain with the Wolves for their matchup against the Noblesville Boom on Tuesday, as he's seen very few game reps with the Timberwolves thus far.
The second-year big man is reporting to the Iowa Wolves for developmental reps. Zikarsky has made a lone, brief appearance at the NBA level in 2026-27.
Baker-Mazara stayed put as an all-around second-unit contributor, and while he didn't achieve a double-double this time, his 16 points were the second-highest figure on the team. He has exceeded 15 points, two three-pointers and six rebounds in each of his two appearances so far, marking a solid start to the campaign. A good run of form like this could help him find more consistent opportunities despite serving as a bench option.
The rookie first-rounder made his fourth consecutive start Sunday, and he should remain in a heated battle with Opening Night starter Ryan Rollins for the rebuilding Bucks' top spot at point guard going forward. Burries has averaged 13.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 28.6 minutes per game as a starter in 2026-27.
Dieng popped for a season-high 10 points in Sunday's rout. He's likely to need the rebuilding Bucks to pull the trigger on a trade involving veteran center Myles Turner in order to muster consistent fantasy relevance.
Monk continues to occupy a reserve role for the rebuilding Kings, playing 18 minutes or more in four straight games. The veteran swingman is likely to see his name swirl around in trade rumors throughout the course of the season.
Sochan stood out as his team's leader in scoring thanks to steady shooting, but his performance didn't lead to a win during his first appearance for the Legends. The 2026 NBA champion is expected to remain a primary contributor as he continues to adapt to his new team after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the G League Draft.
The veteran guard has been a fairly pleasant surprise for the Clippers thus far, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game. Dunn is likely to sacrifice some usage once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is cleared to make his return to action.
Jones has started each of his eight appearances so far this year, serving mostly as a defensive presence for the Clippers. However, his role could alter once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is cleared to make his season debut.
Hachimura has operated as a sixth man for a large portion of his career, but the Clippers are relying on him as a full-time starter in the early going. It remains to be seen if that changes once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is given the green light to make his season debut.
Strus continues to work his way back from a preseason foot injury, making his third appearance Sunday. That said, the swingman is in jeopardy of losing minutes once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is ready to make his season debut.
Dick went for an efficient 15 points off the bench Sunday. However, the swingman is in danger of losing playing time once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is cleared to make his season debut.
Crutcher tied for the team lead in scoring while improving on his previous 16-point performance against Wisconsin. The experienced guard has also operated as a distributor, falling just short of double digits in assists in each of his last two performances. He'll look to retain a starting role as one of the team's most important elements alongside Jules Bernard in upcoming action.
Payton's availability is uncertain ahead of Monday's contest, potentially leaving Golden State without one of its more disruptive perimeter defenders. If he's unable to suit up, the Warriors could redistribute his minutes among several reserves.
Johnson is expected to play through a right ankle sprain Monday. Barring any in-game setbacks, the forward should be able to take on his typical workload.
Braun is dealing with both a calf contusion and an illness, but his probable designation indicates neither issue is expected to prevent him from playing. The versatile wing should remain an important part of Denver's perimeter rotation, contributing across multiple statistical categories. His final status will be worth confirming before tipoff.
Jones had previously bounced back from an ankle injury in the G League opener and showcased his creative skill in back-to-back appearances for the Herd. The two-way player will be an option for the Bucks throughout the season but may lack fantasy upside if he remains in a limited role. He'll look to play more often for a Wisconsin side that allows him to take a reasonable share of offensive volume.
Gordon appears likely to play despite ongoing management of his left calf injury. His expected presence should bolster Denver's frontcourt rotation, particularly with Julian Strawther (knee) sidelined. Gordon's combination of scoring, rebounding and defensive contributions makes him a useful fantasy option when healthy, though his workload will be worth monitoring.
The probable designation suggests Jokic is on track to play despite the elbow issue. His expected availability is a significant boost for Denver's offense, as the three-time MVP remains the team's primary facilitator and offensive centerpiece. Barring a setback, fantasy managers should anticipate his usual substantial workload.
DeRozan should be able to play through lower-back spasms Monday. The veteran forward is in line to handle his usual role off the bench as the Nuggets' sixth man.
Murray is expected to play through a left shin bruise Monday. The star guard should be able to handle a normal workload if he's cleared to suit up.
Broome came off the bench for a double-double in his second outing of the 2026-27 campaign. The backup center has had chances to show his value, and his average of 11.5 rebounds per contest is the highest on the squad after two games. He'll continue to push for an increased role in future challenges.
Minott made the most of his limited playing time, reaching double figures while contributing three combined steals and blocks without committing a turnover. He was aggressive from beyond the arc, attempting eight three-pointers despite playing just 12 minutes. However, much of his opportunity came in a lopsided defeat, and his limited role makes him difficult to trust outside deeper fantasy formats.
George bounced back emphatically from Friday's eight-point performance, shooting 61.1 percent from the field while matching his season high with five made three-pointers. The veteran forward has now scored at least 25 points in two of his last three appearances, connecting on 12 triples during that stretch. Although his peripheral production was limited Sunday, George's scoring efficiency and three-point volume continue to bolster his fantasy value.
Claxton made his return from a multi-week absence with a preseason calf strain, as well as his Bulls and season debut. The big man is working under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers will have to temper expectations initially.
Filipowski saw limited playing time despite Utah being without Lauri Markkanen (wrist) and Jusuf Nurkic (toe). Jaxson Hayes started at center and logged 29 minutes, while Mo Bamba played 17 minutes off the bench, leaving Filipowski with a relatively small role. Although he managed six rebounds and a three-pointer, the reduced workload is concerning for his short-term fantasy outlook, particularly if Utah's frontcourt gets healthier.
Gobert controlled the glass, grabbing a game-high 15 rebounds while converting all four of his field-goal attempts. The veteran center recorded his double-double despite failing to register a steal or block, limiting his overall fantasy production. Gobert remains a dependable source of rebounds and field-goal percentage, with his defensive contributions typically providing additional upside.
Shannon returned from a three-game absence with a hip injury, though he continues to struggle for consistency. He's been a pretty big disappointment overall since Anthony Edwards (knee) went down, logging 20 minutes or fewer in three straight appearances.
Collins struggled to make an impact offensively despite logging 32 minutes, attempting just seven shots while Detroit's reserves carried much of the scoring load. He salvaged some fantasy value with three combined steals and blocks, but his four rebounds were disappointing given Jalen Duren's absence. Collins' playing time remains encouraging, though his limited offensive involvement capped his production Sunday.
Thompson made his presence felt on the glass, grabbing four offensive rebounds while leading Detroit with 11 boards. However, his offensive contributions were limited, and he failed to record a block while battling foul trouble. The third-year wing continues to offer fantasy value through rebounds and defensive statistics, though his inconsistent scoring and limited playing time can produce uneven results.
Thiero missed the onset of the season with a knee injury, but he's back on the floor for the Lakers. He'll continue to supply frontcourt depth off the bench going forward.
Cunningham endured an inefficient shooting performance, particularly from beyond the arc, where he connected on just one of six attempts. Although he paced Detroit with eight assists, he also committed four turnovers and finished with five personal fouls. Daniss Jenkins and Kevin Huerter combined for 55 points off the bench, helping keep the Pistons competitive despite Cunningham's subdued scoring output.
Vanderbilt was remarkably active on the glass despite playing fewer than 14 minutes, collecting eight defensive rebounds and two offensive boards. He also contributed three assists and a block, providing useful peripheral production despite attempting just one shot. His rebounding ability remains valuable, but inconsistent playing time makes him difficult to trust in standard fantasy formats.
Sexton gave Los Angeles an efficient scoring boost off the bench, matching Ziaire Williams for the second-most points on the team behind Austin Reaves' 43. The veteran guard made seven of eight trips to the charity stripe, helping offset his lack of three-point production. Sexton remains a scoring-dependent fantasy option, though his offensive opportunities could increase when the Lakers are missing key backcourt contributors. Luka Doncic (back) sat this one out.
Gillespie capitalized on an opportunity to produce in G League action after being scarcely involved in recent NBA games. One of the Spurs' three two-way players, Gillespie is trending toward spending most of his rookie season with Austin unless he's required to cover any absence for the main squad. Across his first two G League starts, he's averaging 22.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.
Fall was sidelined at the start of the regular season with a quadriceps injury but has since recovered and finally made his season debut in garbage time Friday. However, even when he's healthy, the backup big man isn't expected to be part of the regular rotation.
Hawkins saw his largest workload of the season and responded with a season-high nine points after totaling just eight points across his previous four appearances. Norman Powell's absence helped open up minutes in Chicago's backcourt, though Hawkins remains a fringe fantasy option given his limited role and lack of peripheral production. He'll need to establish a more consistent place in the rotation before warranting attention outside deeper leagues.
Joe is missing a seventh consecutive contest with a bruised hip. The sharpshooter can be considered week-to-week until the Pistons offer another update on his return timeline.
Wilson was aggressive offensively, attempting a team-high 18 shots while finishing one point shy of Chicago's leading scorers, Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis. Although the rookie struggled with his efficiency, he contributed two triples and a pair of steals while maintaining a substantial workload. Wilson's consistent opportunities and willingness to shoot give him intriguing fantasy upside, particularly in deeper leagues, though his offensive efficiency remains a work in progress.
Maxey delivered another strong offensive performance, shooting efficiently from all three levels while leading Philadelphia with seven assists. The star guard also committed just one turnover despite handling significant playmaking responsibilities, and he connected on a key three-pointer late in the fourth quarter to help secure the victory. Maxey continues to provide elite scoring and assist production alongside a crowded group of offensive contributors.
Coulibaly's availability is uncertain ahead of Monday's matchup due to soreness in his hand, leaving Washington's wing rotation potentially shorthanded. If he's unable to suit up, the Wizards could turn to their remaining perimeter options for additional minutes, creating some short-term fantasy opportunities. His status should become clearer closer to tipoff.
The rookie forward is in jeopardy of sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set. Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher stand to benefit if Johnson is unable to suit up Monday.
Taylor shot the ball well against the Squadron and tallied 10 rebounds for the second consecutive contest, leading to his first double-double in that span. His place in Austin's starting lineup shouldn't be at risk for now, with little competition for the spot while his numbers trend upward.
Vassell was unable to shake his questionable tag and will be considered day-to-day going forward. In his absence, the Spurs may lean more on Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Carter Bryant.
Dia enjoyed plenty of time on the floor, delivering a dominant performance even though his team lost the game. It was his first appearance since the preseason, as he has struggled to find his way into the Pelicans' rotation. While he's still available as a two-way option, the forward may continue to see the bulk of his opportunities in the G League, where he's capable of producing at a consistent rate.
Scottie Barnes (adductor) and Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) are questionable as well, so Toronto could be very shorthanded Monday. Jamison Battle would be a candidate for an expanded role if Murray-Boyles is unable to play.
Davison started the season in great form thanks to a diverse output, which included a game-high scoring total during Osceola's opening game. The 24-year-old already boasts plenty of experience as a reliable player at the G League level, so his presence should be helpful in various aspects, suggesting he'll continue to see meaningful playing time throughout the year.
Charlotte is battling plenty of injuries ahead of Monday's tilt versus the Cavaliers. Hall is set to offer emergency depth off the bench in a pinch.
Charlotte is dealing with various injuries ahead of Monday's game versus Cleveland. Ajayi is in line to provide emergency depth off the bench.
Smith didn't need much to lead his side in points during another low-scoring contest for the Blue. Although still short of his best numbers from the previous campaign, Smith remains a regular starter and one of his team's most reliable sources of offensive stats.
Grimes sustained a sprained right finger Sunday in Detroit, so he's sitting out the second part of this back-to-back set. With Austin Reaves (illness) questionable to play, Collin Sexton could be thrust into a larger role in the backcourt.
The star guard is at risk of missing the second leg of this back-to-back set. Luka Doncic would dominate the usage for the Lakers if Reaves sits out, and Ziaire Williams would likely enter the starting lineup in this case.
After sitting out Sunday's matchup in Detroit, Doncic is good to go for the second half of this back-to-back set. The MVP candidate is on an absolute tear, having dropped at least 40 points in six of his last seven appearances.
Miller showed outstanding efficiency from the field and added plenty of rebounds for his second straight double-double in the opening pair of G League contests. After being waived by the Nuggets in October, he's now one of the most experienced contributors for the Grand Rapids affiliate, averaging 21.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game so far.
Ament delivered efficient scoring off the bench, connecting on two three-pointers while contributing five rebounds. His balanced production was encouraging, particularly given his relatively limited workload. The rookie's ability to provide perimeter scoring and rebounding offers intriguing fantasy potential, although he remains a speculative option in standard leagues until his playing time and offensive responsibilities become more consistent.
Herro had a disappointing offensive outing, connecting on just one of five three-point attempts while contributing little beyond scoring. The veteran guard's scoring and perimeter shooting remain valuable, but his fantasy reliability depends on improved efficiency.
Kuzma delivered an impressive scoring performance, connecting on six three-pointers while adding three combined steals-plus-blocks. This 27-point output was not only Kuzma's best scoring output of the season, but it also represented the first time he's scored at least 20 points in the current campaign. Kuzma is averaging just 12.4 points per game over his last five appearances, so this was likely a one-game outlier rather than a sign of what's to come.
Tatum overcame inefficient overall shooting by connecting on five three-pointers and contributing six assists. He scored 16 points in the opening quarter, helping Boston recover from an early 14-point deficit, but he was a non-factor the rest of the way. His relatively modest workload reflected the comfortable victory, while his continued involvement as a scorer and facilitator supports his elite fantasy outlook. The 21-point output was a down performance given his season-long numbers, but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to one inefficient outing in which he still attempted 19 shots.
Robinson produced exceptional defensive value in limited action and was efficient on offense, scoring in double digits for just the second time this season. While he's losing the battle for the Celtics' starting center spot to Neemias Queta, Robinson has excellent per-minute production. His rebounding, defensive production and field-goal efficiency make him intriguing in category formats, though his limited workload and free-throw struggles remain significant negatives.
Queta narrowly missed a double-double while contributing four assists, an encouraging development for a player whose fantasy value typically centers on rebounding and interior scoring. Queta will remain a valuable fantasy option as long as he remains the Celtics' No. 1 option at center ahead of Mitchell Robinson, who also posted a strong fantasy line Sunday with 12 points (6-6 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, four steals and a block across 18 minutes.
Grant-Foster made an impact off the bench in his first real opportunity to impress since being selected by the Skyforce with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2026 G League Draft. The guard turned in an efficient showing en route to his first double-double of the season. That performance could help him push for more playing time at the expense of guys like Kylor Kelley and Ian Schieffelin.
Aldama used his limited opportunities efficiently, converting five of seven field-goal attempts and connecting on two three-pointers. However, his modest playing time restricted his ability to contribute across other categories. Aldama's perimeter shooting and offensive versatility provide fantasy upside, but his role within Dallas' crowded frontcourt rotation remains a significant obstacle to consistent production. His limited minutes are understandable given he's just returned from a knee injury, but it's unclear when his role will grow.
Gafford delivered outstanding efficiency around the basket while providing valuable rim protection, recording three blocks despite playing just 19 minutes. His limited workload remains a concern for consistent fantasy production, but his ability to accumulate points, rebounds and blocks offers considerable per-minute upside. Gafford remains particularly appealing in category formats emphasizing field-goal percentage and defensive stats, but the fact that he's logged fewer than 20 minutes in each of his last three appearances should be cause for concern.
Irving produced an efficient scoring performance against his former team, helping Dallas establish a commanding lead before the fourth quarter. His limited workload reflected the lopsided result, not a diminished offensive role. Irving remains a dependable fantasy option even when he's operating as a secondary scorer and playmaker behind star second-year forward Cooper Flagg.
Donaldson finished with a game-high scoring total and added solid production on the defensive end with his four steals Sunday. The two-way rookie has been heavily involved with the G League club thus far, though he has yet to make his debut for the parent club and will likely continue spending most of his time with the Skyforce.
Wagner turned in an efficient shooting performance in limited action, converting four of five field-goal attempts while reaching double figures off the bench for the fifth time this season. While his upside is capped by his bench role, he's making the most of his opportunities in the second unit. Wagner remains a situational fantasy option in deeper leagues, with his value depending on increased playing time and a more consistent offensive role.
Traore continues to make his presence felt as a starter through his scoring and playmaking, even in games when his defensive contributions are concerning. His current role and the fact that he's scored in double digits in six of his seven starts boost his upside, and he's averaging 15.1 points per game over that span. For now, he's a viable streaming option in standard formats as long as his playing time stays consistent.
Porter led Brooklyn in scoring while falling one rebound short of a double-double, but his shooting efficiency remained a concern. His four three-pointers helped preserve his fantasy production despite the lopsided defeat. Porter continues to offer considerable value through scoring, perimeter shooting and rebounding, as he has notched at least 19 points and nine boards in four of his last five appearances.
Wilson converted nearly half of his field-goal attempts for a fine scoring display in his first appearance of the G League season. The versatile player, who is signed to a two-way deal, has yet to see game action with the parent club, making him more of a G League asset for the time being.
Hyland delivered an impressive scoring effort in limited playing time, reaching 14 points despite receiving just 13 minutes. His ability to generate offense quickly remains intriguing, although his modest workload significantly restricts his fantasy reliability. Hyland is primarily a deeper-league option unless his role expands, as his scoring efficiency alone may not compensate for limited opportunities across other categories. His scoring prowess warrants attention, as he has posted double-digit scoring totals in five of his last seven outings off the bench.
With Clint Capela (ankle) and Steven Adams (calf) sidelined, Tshiebwe has been able to appear in six straight games, averaging 6.8 minutes a night. With all three backup centers unavailable, Jabari Smith and Tari Eason might play some small-ball five minutes behind Alperen Sengun.
McDaniels delivered an efficient all-around performance, contributing in every major statistical category while maintaining a substantial workload. His two made three-pointers and perfect free-throw shooting strengthened his offensive efficiency, while his defensive contributions provided additional value. McDaniels remains particularly useful in category formats, where his versatility can compensate for inconsistent scoring volume.
Diabate has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful and will likely miss a second straight game, opening the door for Ryan Kalkbrenner to draw another start. In the likely event that he's ultimately ruled out, Diabate's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Phoenix.
Dennis recorded another double-double in points and assists, and an increased efficiency from three-point range allowed him to reach higher scoring numbers in the second G League game of the campaign. Dennis is signed to a two-way contract but is unlikely to make the jump to the NBA team soon, having played just eight minutes for the Hawks in 2026-27. On the other hand, he can continue to see his regular workload as one of the most valuable players in the G League.
Ball extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four, and the star floor general has drained at least three three-pointers in each of those contests, so he's making his presence felt in the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee). Ball's impressive combination of scoring, assists and defensive contributions continues to offer considerable fantasy upside despite occasional efficiency concerns. He's averaging 22.3 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 three-pointers and 1.8 steals per game over his last six games.
Bailey struggled offensively but compensated with outstanding defensive activity, collecting four steals while playing 32 minutes. His substantial workload remains encouraging, although his limited scoring and rebounding production continue to restrict his overall fantasy impact. Bailey's defensive upside offers appeal in category formats, but the offensive struggles are too big to overlook. He's now failed to score more than 15 points in each of his last five appearances, averaging 9.6 points per game and shooting 38.2 percent from the field in that span.
Peterson carried a substantial offensive workload, attempting a team-high 21 shots, and he seems to be finding his footing offensively while scoring at least 20 points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. The rookie's current playing time and newfound prominent scoring role remain encouraging indicators for his fantasy outlook. He's also surpassed the 15-point mark in four of his last six outings, averaging 17.0 points per game in that stretch.
McCullar posted a complete stat line against the Skyhawks. While he's serving as a two-way player, the forward hasn't really been considered by Toronto, so he could remain active for the 905 in the short term. Sunday's double-double was his first of the season, and he achieved multiple rebounds, assists and steals for the second time in as many games.
Hayes capitalized on his opportunities around the basket, converting all six field-goal attempts while delivering solid rebounding production. Hayes offers useful fantasy potential through field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocks, although his value depends on consistent playing time. On that note, he's played at least 28 minutes in back-to-back games, so his playing time seems to be trending up. He'll remain a valuable low-end fantasy option as long as he continues as Utah's starting center.
