Fantasy News

Marshall is looking to return from an illness Wednesday. Zaccharie Risacher would likely play a larger role off the bench if Marshall remains sidelined.

Edwards has been playing through knee pain this season, but it hasn't impacted his numbers, as he's already had two 40-plus-point performances. However, it's possible he could get hit with a maintenance day against the 1-3 Warriors. If Edwards is out, Ayo Dosunmu would have a chance to start, and there would be more minutes available for Terrence Shannon and Bones Hyland.

Irving could receive a maintenance day Wednesday. If the star guard is sidelined, Marcus Sasser would likely handle an expanded role at point guard while Cooper Flagg takes on more usage.

Sorber is still without a firm timetable for a return to game action. He can be considered week-to-week until the Thunder provide an update on his progress.

Holmgren will miss a second consecutive contest due to right knee patellar tendinitis. With the big man and several other key pieces on the inactive list, Kenrich Williams, Jaylin Williams and Brooks Barnhizer are candidates for increased minutes in the frontcourt.

Topic has yet to play this season, and per standard Thunder protocol, Oklahoma City has not released any updates on where he is in his rehab. He should be viewed as week-to-week moving forward.

Mitchell came away with an ankle sprain in the aftermath of Monday's win over the Suns. With Alex Caruso (ankle) already ruled out for Wednesday, Jared McCain would be streaming shallow fantasy leagues and Bennett Stirtz in deeper formats if Mitchell is sidelined.

Kenrich Williams and Bennett Stirtz should see a boost with Caruso on the inactive list for Wednesday's game. Caruso's next chance to play will come Saturday in Houston.

Williams is in danger of missing his third straight game Wednesday. However, even when healthy, he was not in the rotation.

Nembhard is still dealing with soreness in his neck and could miss a second straight game. The 26-year-old guard's absence would open up additional minutes for guys like Quenton Jackson, Braden Smith and Jarace Walker, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is downgraded from questionable to out.

The left hamstring issue is a new concern for Haliburton, who has yet to miss a game this season. If the star floor general joins T.J. McConnell (hamstring) on the inactive list, Quenton Jackson and Braden Smith would likely see increased burn.

The rookie big man is battling an ankle sprain. Zach Collins could pick up a few extra minutes off the bench if Awaka is out Wednesday.

Toppin is dealing with a sprained shooting hand, but it's not expected to keep him out of Wednesday's game. Through the first four games of the season, Toppin is averaging 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 triples per contest on 55/40/74 shooting splits.

Nesmith has been slowly ramping up after missing some of the preseason and Indiana's first regular-season game with a hamstring injury, so it'll be interesting to see if his minutes are bumped up Wednesday. Through the first three games of the year, Nesmith is averaging 11.7 points and 2.0 triples in 20 minutes per contest.

The veteran point guard continues to battle a hamstring strain. His next chance to make his season debut comes Friday in Miami.

Zubac isn't ready to return from an ankle sprain, but the veteran big man remains day-to-day. Jay Huff figures to continue starting for the Pacers in the meantime, with Obi Toppin (hand) also helping plug up the hole at center.

The star big man is set to return Wednesday after sitting out the second leg of Philadelphia's most recent back-to-back. With the 76ers back at full strength, Dean Wade and Adem Bona should fall into lesser roles.

Fall was able to get through Tuesday's practice, but he'll remain on the inactive list for Wednesday's game. He should continue to be viewed as week-to-week.

Walker will miss a second consecutive contest due to left knee soreness. According to Ky Carlin of USA Today, the 24-year-old forward didn't practice Tuesday but was able to go through individual on-court workouts. His next chance to play will come Friday against New York.

After fully practicing Tuesday, Edgecombe ready to return Wednesday following a one-game absence with an abdominal bruise. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should head back to the bench in Edgecombe's return.

Wiggins is dealing with a bruised knee, so he might skip the first game in Atlanta's upcoming back-to-back set. If he's not able to give it a go, Corey Kispert would have a chance for some meaningful run in the rotation.

Diop remains without a clear timetable to return due to a left knee injury. He can be considered week-to-week until the Cavaliers offer an update on his progress.

Champagnie is sidelined by a right foot injury, which he picked up during Monday's loss in Charlotte. Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington make for intriguing streaming options in deeper fantasy leagues for Wednesday.

The rookie No. 1 overall pick has a chance to make his highly anticipated NBA debut Wednesday. His eventual return from an ankle sprain should push Bilal Coulibaly into a reserve role.

The rookie standout is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday with foot soreness. With the Warriors already short on forward options, Georges Niang could be thrust into a starting role if Lendeborg cannot play.

Smart is at risk of missing a third straight game with a forearm strain. Reed Sheppard and Tari Eason would remain locked into big roles off the bench if Smart is unable to suit up.

Sengun is dealing with lower-back soreness and will miss his first game of the season, with his next chance to play coming Friday at Dallas. Tari Eason and Clint Capela are both candidates to see increased playing time in Sengun's stead.

Markkanen left Monday's loss to Memphis with the injury, and it doesn't sound initially that he's dealing with a significant setback. The star forward can be tentatively deemed questionable for Wednesday's tilt versus the Spurs.

Carlson is available to make his regular-season debut with Portland after missing the team's first two regular-season games while in the league's concussion protocol. However, he isn't guaranteed to see the floor.

Rui Hachimura is dealing with a calf issue, and the Clippers are planning for Sanders to make his first start of the season in his place. Last regular season, Sanders averaged 10.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27.3 minutes per contest covering 16 games as a starter.

The ankle injury is a new concern for Larsson, though he's still expected to suit up for Wednesday's contest. The 25-year-old swingman is averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 30.8 minutes per game across four regular-season outings.

Fontecchio is unlikely to be available off the bench for the first time this season. His expected absence should have little impact on the Miami rotation.

Hachimura didn't practice Tuesday and will be held out of Wednesday's contest due to left quad soreness. His next opportunity to play will come Friday at Minnesota. In the meantime, Kobe Sanders and Gradey Dick are candidates for increased playing time.

Bittle remains without a timetable to return due to a right foot avulsion fracture. He can be considered week-to-week until the Raptors offer an update on his progress.

Jackson sustained the injury early in Monday's loss to Memphis, and he's now expected to miss at least a month and a half of action. The star big man's absence creates a major void in the Utah lineup, one that is likely to be filled by a timeshare of Jaxson Hayes (shoulder), Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba. The Jazz could also shift Lauri Markkanen (wrist), when healthy, to the center spot at times, perhaps allowing Ace Bailey to spend more time at power forward.

Poole is under the weather but appears likely to suit up in the front end of this back-to-back set. Through three regular-season games, the veteran guard is averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 18.7 minutes per contest.

Bradley is getting some practice reps at the G League club's training camp. Most of his action is likely to come with the 905 this season.

The Timberwolves just waived Freeman on Saturday, but it didn't take long for the two sides to hash out a new contract. Freeman is likely to spend most of his time with the G League's Iowa Wolves.

The oft-injured forward isn't ready to make his season debut. His next chance to do so arrives Friday in Toronto for a rematch with the Raptors.

The veteran forward paced the second unit in scoring Monday. In spite of the reserve role, Grant should continue to play meaningful minutes on a regular basis to begin the campaign for the rebuilding Grizzlies.

Sengun put his fingerprints all over Monday's win, setting the pace in points, assists and steals. The star big man is off and running in 2026-27, having posted at least 17 points, seven boards, five dimes and one three-pointer in all four of his appearances.

Johnson continues to roll as a first-round fantasy player in the early stages of the campaign. Over four appearances to this point, the star forward has averaged 21.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Although Flemings hasn't yet locked down a major role for the Hawks, it's encouraging to see the rookie first-rounder on the floor on a steady basis to begin his career. Over four appearances thus far, Flemings has averaged 4.0 assists, 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game.

Dort is handling a relatively significant role off the bench in his debut season with the Hawks. Over his first four contests, the veteran swingman has averaged 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.8 minutes per game.

Bridges appears to be settling in nicely with his new team in Phoenix. The forward has watched his production across the board increase in each of his first three games, and Bridges hasn't looked to be hampered at all by a preseason ankle injury.

After going off for 43 points in Saturday's 131-122 win over the Warriors, the star guard cooled off dramatically Monday. Booker hit the 20-point mark in back-to-back appearances prior to Monday, so he should bounce back soon enough.

Dunn appears to have beaten out the likes of Haywood Highsmith, Rasheer Fleming and Koa Peat for a rotation spot with the Suns. However, Dunn's fantasy appeal is likely to remain limited while the team's wings and forwards are healthy.

The Thunder are already plagued by injuries in the early going, so they gave Dix a chance for meaningful burn. The undrafted rookie failed to stand out in his season debut, and he could shift over to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue in the coming weeks.

Wiggins reached double figures for the second time in four games, setting a season high in scoring despite missing all five of his three-point attempts. The veteran forward has struggled offensively to begin the 2026-27 campaign, averaging just 8.8 points while shooting 37.5 percent from the field through four appearances. His 34 minutes Monday were encouraging, but his limited contributions outside scoring have restricted his fantasy value.

Smith made both of his attempts from beyond the arc while providing a steal in his limited playing time. The reserve guard saw an increased role after playing just six minutes against Detroit on Friday and sitting out Saturday's loss to Charlotte. However, his inconsistent minutes and limited offensive involvement leave him without much fantasy appeal outside deeper leagues.

Okogie received additional playing time after Lauri Markkanen (wrist) and Jaren Jackson (knee) exited early, but he failed to capitalize offensively. The veteran wing missed all four of his field-goal attempts and offered minimal production elsewhere. His defensive contributions could help him maintain a role in Utah's rotation, though his fantasy appeal remains limited.

Walsh struggled offensively but made an impact on the defensive end, matching his career high with three steals. The 22-year-old forward has started each of Boston's first three games this season, though his modest offensive role and limited playing time restrict his fantasy upside. Walsh remains a deeper-league option for managers seeking defensive contributions.

Turner set a season high in rebounds Monday. The veteran big man, a rumored trade candidate, should continue to handle a big role at center as long as he's with the rebuilding Bucks, averaging 7.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.3 assists in 27.8 minutes per game over four contests this season.

Thompson struggled from the field and played a season-low 15 minutes as Miami dropped its fourth consecutive game. The veteran sharpshooter has scored six points or fewer in two of his last three appearances, shooting just 29.0 percent (9-for-31) from the field during that stretch. His limited playing time and inconsistent shooting make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy leagues.

Hauser connected on three triples for the second time in three games to begin the season, providing efficient perimeter scoring off Boston's bench. However, he offered limited production outside of points and rebounds. His value remains concentrated in three-point shooting, making him more appealing in deeper fantasy formats.

George struggled inside the arc but connected on three triples as Boston cruised to a comfortable victory. His playing time was limited by the lopsided score, and he committed four turnovers. The veteran forward has scored between 15 and 16 points in consecutive outings following his 38-point season opener.

James remained in Charlotte's starting lineup but played a limited offensive role, attempting just four shots. The second-year guard has scored five points or fewer in each of his first four appearances this season, though his playing time has remained relatively steady. His low usage makes him difficult to trust in standard fantasy formats.

On top of his strong all-around performance, it's worth noting Haliburton played both ends of this back-to-back set with no restrictions following his Achilles surgery. The star point guard hasn't missed a beat in his comeback season, averaging 21.8 points, 9.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes per game so far in 2026-27.

Riley made his lone field-goal attempt but otherwise struggled to make an impact during his brief appearance. The second-year forward has played just 10 combined minutes across three appearances this season, leaving him outside Washington's regular rotation. Riley can be left on fantasy waiver wires in most formats.

Coulibaly struggled to generate offense, finishing with more personal fouls (five) than points. The forward has scored 11 points or fewer in each of his four appearances this season, although his defensive contributions have provided some fantasy value. He should continue seeing substantial playing time while AJ Dybantsa (ankle) remains sidelined.

Watson struggled from beyond the arc but compensated with an outstanding defensive performance, recording seven combined steals and blocks. He also established season highs in scoring, rebounds and blocks while playing a substantial role in Cleveland's overtime victory. His defensive production gives him considerable upside in category-based fantasy leagues.

Hyland barely factored into Minnesota's rotation, making his lone appearance during a brief stretch in the second quarter. The guard has played 15 minutes or fewer in each of his four appearances this season, limiting his fantasy relevance.

Lyles played a limited role despite the overtime contest, attempting just one shot. The veteran forward has logged fewer than 20 minutes in each of his first four appearances this season, leaving him with minimal fantasy appeal outside exceptionally deep leagues.

Jokic led the team in assists Monday, setting a season high in dimes in the process. The perennial MVP candidate has logged a pair of double-doubles through three games on the young campaign, posting a full stat line each time out so far.

Nembhard, a two-way player, is helping reinforce Denver's backcourt depth for the time being. He's expected to play for the Grand Rapids Gold once the G League season is underway.

Cryer saw a bit of garbage-time run in this blowout win. With Golden State's backcourt fully healthy, Cryer lacks a clear path to playing time in the early going.

Fall, who is on a two-way contract, is nearing a return to the floor for Philadelphia. He projects as an emergency depth option when the 76ers are shorthanded.

This is a good sign ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pacers. The second-year guard was unable to suit up Sunday, and if he's unable to return Wednesday, guys like Anfernee Simons and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could see increased run.

Markovic spent the day with the Herd for practice and was immediately recalled. He remains well off the fantasy radar.

White is a little banged up from Monday's game against the Bulls in which he turned the ball over six times in 18 minutes. However, the veteran guard intends to play through the issue for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

DeRozan led Denver in scoring despite coming off the bench, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time this season. The veteran forward also knocked down two three-pointers and contributed three combined steals and blocks. Although his reserve role could limit his overall fantasy ceiling, DeRozan remains capable of providing consistent scoring production.

Hopkins delivered an efficient scoring performance in his starting role, reaching double figures for Denver while committing zero turnovers. However, the forward offered little production outside the scoring column and finished without a steal or block. Hopkins' substantial playing time is encouraging, but he'll need to contribute more consistently across multiple categories to establish reliable fantasy value.

Murray turned in an efficient performance, shooting 61.5 percent from the field while leading Denver in assists and steals. The veteran guard also connected on three triples and collected six rebounds, providing well-rounded fantasy production despite the lopsided defeat. Murray continues to serve as a primary offensive facilitator alongside Nikola Jokic.

An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the Raptors will take a cautious approach with Leonard's recovery following interruptions to his offseason preparation. The veteran forward was a late scratch for Sunday's loss to Minnesota and now faces an extended absence just two games into the 2026-27 campaign. Ja'Kobe Walter, who started in Leonard's place Sunday, figures to benefit from additional playing time, while RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes could absorb more offensive responsibility. Rookie Allen Graves could also get more involved. An update on his progress can be expected in one week, when the Raptors re-evaluate him.

Thompson remains questionable on the latest injury report, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he's unable to give it a go, the Pistons could turn to guys like Daniss Jenkins, Javonte Green and Kevin Huerter.

Santos made the most of his opportunities offensively, missing just one field-goal attempt while finishing without a turnover. The forward remained in Golden State's starting lineup and provided a solid complementary scoring option alongside Stephen Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg. Although Santos has demonstrated the ability to contribute efficiently, his relatively modest usage limits his fantasy appeal outside deeper leagues.

Podziemski returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Saturday's contest against Phoenix, delivering an efficient performance while committing zero turnovers. The third-year guard also finished with a team-high plus-35 rating, contributing across multiple categories in Golden State's first victory of the campaign. His combination of rebounds, assists and three-point shooting should keep him relevant in standard fantasy formats.

Curry delivered a flawless shooting performance, making all eight of his field-goal attempts and all five of his free throws. The veteran guard scored 21 of his 24 points in the second half, helping Golden State pull away for its first victory of the season. Curry returned to the lineup after sitting out Saturday's loss to Phoenix and should continue serving as the Warriors' primary offensive weapon.

Mara delivered his best performance of the young season, recording his first career double-double while establishing season highs in points, rebounds, minutes and blocks. The rookie center also committed four turnovers and five fouls, but his contributions on both ends of the floor were encouraging. With Chet Holmgren (knee) sidelined, Mara could continue seeing additional opportunities in Oklahoma City's frontcourt, though his fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper leagues.

Hartenstein anchored Oklahoma City's frontcourt with Chet Holmgren (knee) unavailable, recording a double-double as the Thunder improved to 4-0. The veteran center continues to provide a reliable presence on the glass, and Holmgren's absence could create additional opportunities for Hartenstein moving forward. His rebounding and efficient interior scoring make him a dependable fantasy option, particularly in category-based formats.

McCain entered the starting lineup in place of Cason Wallace (shoulder) and provided an immediate offensive boost, scoring 10 points before halftime. With Wallace expected to miss significant time following surgery, McCain has an opportunity to establish himself as a regular starter. Caruso's ankle injury could further strengthen McCain's outlook, making him an appealing fantasy pickup for managers seeking scoring and three-point production.

Mitchell drew the start in place of Jalen Williams (ankle) and delivered a career-best scoring performance, including 18 points in the first half. With Williams and Cason Wallace (shoulder) both facing extended absences following injuries that require surgery, Mitchell is positioned for a significant increase in offensive responsibility. Alex Caruso also exited Monday's contest with a right ankle sprain, potentially creating even more backcourt opportunities. Mitchell should be a priority fantasy pickup given Oklahoma City's mounting injury concerns.

Green led Phoenix in scoring while converting an efficient 61.5 percent of his field-goal attempts. The 24-year-old guard bounced back from a 12-point performance against Golden State on Saturday, reaching the 20-point mark for the second time in three games to begin the campaign. Green should remain one of Phoenix's primary scoring options alongside Devin Booker, giving him a solid fantasy outlook.

Brooks struggled with his efficiency from the field but compensated by making eight free throws and contributing across multiple categories. The veteran forward also recorded three steals and five assists without committing a turnover, helping offset his poor shooting performance. Brooks continues to handle a substantial offensive workload for Phoenix, giving him fantasy appeal despite his inconsistent efficiency.

Maluach delivered a solid performance in his third start of the season, reaching double figures in scoring while contributing on the glass and defensively. However, the young center also committed four turnovers and four personal fouls. With Mark Williams (shoulder) sidelined and Oso Ighodaro (oblique) still out, Maluach should continue receiving significant opportunities in Phoenix's frontcourt, making him an intriguing fantasy option for managers seeking rebounds and blocks.

Rollins delivered his highest-scoring performance through Milwaukee's first four games, connecting on three triples while committing just one turnover. The guard has reached double figures in three consecutive contests and continues to see substantial playing time alongside Tyler Herro. Rollins' combination of scoring and playmaking gives him some solid fantasy appeal.

Ware recorded his second consecutive double-double, providing Milwaukee with a significant boost on the glass. The young center continues to make an impact despite coming off the bench, and his rebounding production gives him a solid fantasy foundation. Ware's ability to consistently produce double-doubles makes him an intriguing option even while sharing frontcourt minutes with Myles Turner.

Herro led Milwaukee in scoring while recording his first double-double of the season, helping the Bucks secure their first victory of the 2026-27 campaign. The veteran guard also contributed seven assists and three triples, delivering one of his most complete performances of the young season. Herro remains a focal point of Milwaukee's offense and should continue providing strong fantasy production.

Jackson struggled to make an impact offensively despite receiving significant playing time with Andrew Nembhard (neck) unavailable. The guard attempted just three shots and failed to record a steal or block, limiting his fantasy contributions. Jackson could continue seeing additional minutes while Indiana's backcourt remains shorthanded, but his inconsistent scoring makes him a risky option outside deeper leagues.

Walker struggled with his shooting efficiency but delivered a useful performance across multiple categories while playing a season-high 29 minutes. The third-year forward scored nine points in the first half before cooling off considerably after halftime. With Indiana dealing with several injuries, Walker could continue receiving expanded opportunities, though his inconsistent shooting remains a concern for fantasy managers.

Huff drew the start at center with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined but failed to build on his impressive performance against Brooklyn on Sunday. After recording 14 points and three blocks against the Nets, Huff went scoreless from beyond the arc and failed to register a block Monday. He could continue seeing increased minutes if Zubac remains unavailable, making Huff a potential streaming option for managers seeking blocks and three-pointers.

White endured a quiet offensive outing, attempting just four shots while committing six turnovers. However, the veteran guard salvaged some fantasy value with three steals and a block despite playing only 18 minutes in the blowout. White's limited playing time was largely a product of the lopsided score, and he should remain a reliable contributor across multiple categories moving forward.

Gonzalez provided an impressive spark off Boston's bench, scoring seven points in the first quarter before finishing with his highest-scoring total of the young season. The second-year forward also contributed on the glass and defensively, finishing with a team-best plus-34 rating. His well-rounded performance could help him secure a more consistent role in Boston's rotation, though his fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats.

Pritchard caught fire from beyond the arc, connecting on seven three-pointers while leading Boston in scoring despite coming off the bench. The veteran guard was particularly effective during the third quarter, helping the Celtics pull away in a lopsided victory. Pritchard's explosive shooting ability gives him considerable fantasy upside, though his production could fluctuate depending on his playing time.

Smith struggled to find his rhythm offensively, converting just two of his eight field-goal attempts while failing to record a defensive statistic. The starting center also saw his playing time limited as Chicago fell behind by a substantial margin. Smith's ability to contribute rebounds and three-pointers gives him some fantasy appeal, but inconsistent minutes and scoring could limit his reliability.

Jones generated most of his offense at the charity stripe, attempting just two shots from the field. More concerning was his lack of playmaking production, as the veteran guard failed to register an assist for the first time this season. With Josh Giddey handling the primary facilitating duties, Jones' limited role off the bench restricts his fantasy upside.

Miller made the most of his limited playing time, leading Chicago in rebounds despite logging just 14 minutes. The forward collected three offensive boards and narrowly missed his first double-double of the season. Miller has shown flashes of productive play early in the campaign, but his fluctuating minutes could make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy formats.

This is all part of Aldama's return-to-play protocol. The forward is still considered week-to-week, but this is a sign that he's trending in the right direction. Look for him to be recalled shortly.

Allen provided another scoring boost off Charlotte's bench, reaching double figures for the third time in four games to open the season. Although he struggled from the field, the veteran guard was perfect on seven free-throw attempts and connected on two triples. Allen should remain a useful source of points and three-pointers while Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) are sidelined.

Diabate delivered his strongest rebounding performance of the young season while recording his first double-double of the campaign. The center also made a significant defensive impact with three blocks, providing valuable production across multiple categories. His limited offensive involvement caps his scoring upside, but his rebounding and defensive contributions give him considerable appeal in category-based fantasy formats.

Reid struggled offensively through three quarters before erupting for 16 points and seven rebounds in the final period to help Charlotte secure the victory. Despite the inefficient shooting performance, the big man delivered another strong showing on the glass and continues to play a prominent offensive role for the Hornets. His ability to contribute points, rebounds and three-pointers makes him a valuable fantasy option, and he did this despite being under the weather prior to the game.

Ayton struggled to make an impact offensively while playing a limited role behind Washington's starting frontcourt of Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr. The veteran center has seen inconsistent playing time to begin the season, significantly restricting his fantasy upside. Unless his role expands, Ayton will have difficulty providing reliable production even in deeper leagues.

Carrington connected on two shots from beyond the arc but otherwise struggled to make an impact, failing to record a rebound despite logging 28 minutes. The young guard continues to see meaningful playing time in Washington's backcourt, though the presence of Trae Young limits his opportunities as a primary facilitator. Carrington's inconsistent production makes him a difficult player to trust in standard fantasy formats.

Middleton failed to attempt a shot during his brief appearance, finishing with a minus-17 rating. The veteran forward has played a limited role off Washington's bench to begin the season, making it difficult for him to provide consistent fantasy value. Unless his minutes increase significantly, Middleton remains an unappealing option outside the deepest leagues.

Adebayo struggled offensively, missing all five of his three-point attempts and finishing in single digits for the second time this season. He made up for it with strong contributions elsewhere, finishing with at least two tallies in each of the other four major categories. His scoring limitations are worth monitoring, as he's still finding his footing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, Adebayo's rebounding and defensive contributions provide a useful floor even when his shot isn't falling. But even with solid peripheral contributions, this has been a disappointing start to the season for the big man, who averaged 20.1 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 regular season.

Portis recorded his first double-double of the season and scored in double digits for a third straight game. While he continues to struggle from the floor, Portis remains a valuable two-way asset for the Heat, and his rapport with Giannis Antetokounmpo has been valuable for a Heat team still searching for its first win of the season. Portis is providing useful production across multiple fantasy categories off the bench, but his role should remain somewhat limited as long as both Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo remain healthy.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say Mitchell has been the Heat's second-best player so far this season behind Giannis Antetokounmpo. He reached the 20-point threshold for a second straight contest, and while his two assists were a season-low mark, his three steals were a season high. He should remain a valuable backcourt contributor thanks to his scoring, playmaking and defense.

Clayton made the most of his limited opportunities, missing just one of his seven field-goal attempts while adding decent contributions in other categories during a 17-minute cameo. Clayton will likely need more consistent playing time to become a reliable option, but this outing was undoubtedly a step in the right direction.

Irving struggled from beyond the arc, but he made up for it with balanced production in other categories. Even as the veteran floor general cedes some playmaking responsibilities to Cooper Flagg, Irving still delivers. His ability to contribute across multiple categories helps maintain his fantasy value even when his shot isn't falling, so fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into his occasional shooting woes. He's still scored at least 15 points in each of his three appearances this season.

Washington narrowly missed his second double-double of the season while playing a team-high 41 minutes, and he left his mark on the defensive end of the court with three stocks. His heavy workload and multi-category contributions are encouraging for fantasy managers, though scoring inconsistencies can limit his upside at times.

Kuminga recorded his first double-double of the season Monday and has been consistent to open the year, scoring in double digits in every game despite not attempting more than 10 shots in any of his four appearances. Sharing the floor with Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball could continue to limit his scoring opportunities, but since Kuminga is putting up decent numbers in other categories like rebounds and steals, he's delivering solid upside. He's certainly making the most of his opportunity to play consistent starter-level minutes.

Gobert dominated the glass en route to a season-high 20 rebounds, including eight offensive boards, but his horrendous shooting performance prevented him from delivering a massive stat line. Gobert's elite rebounding should continue and provides a strong fantasy foundation, but his limited scoring and occasional free-throw struggles remain significant drawbacks in certain formats. He's failed to score in double digits in three of his first four appearances, a major downgrade for a player who has averaged double-digit points in each of his last 10 seasons.

Ball endured a difficult offensive performance, connecting on just one of six three-point attempts while committing seven turnovers. His six assists provided some fantasy value, but he failed to collect a rebound and saw Anthony Edwards dominate Minnesota's scoring opportunities. Ball's playmaking role remains secure, although his efficiency and turnover issues could limit his consistency alongside Edwards. He's failed to shoot over 42 percent from the floor in three of his first four appearances this season.

Thomas made an immediate impact from beyond the arc, connecting on four of five three-point attempts while producing 16 points in just 19 minutes. His efficiency was impressive, but the limited workload and minimal contributions outside scoring suggest his fantasy value remains uncertain. Thomas will likely need more consistent playing time to become a dependable option, particularly with Cleveland featuring several established offensive contributors in the backcourt. He has some upside in dynasty and deep leagues.

Harden delivered his strongest performance of the young season, finishing one assist shy of a double-double while posting season-high marks in points and dimes. His nine three-point attempts also highlighted his offensive involvement despite modest shooting efficiency, and although he seems to have lost a bit of a step offensively, Harden should remain valuable in Cleveland's offensive scheme. He's averaging 15.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game to open the season.

Mobley recorded his second consecutive double-double after his 20-point, 10-rebound performance against the Nets on Saturday. The four threes were a season-high mark for the star forward, who has gone 7-for-12 from deep to begin the season, and the two blocks reinforced his defensive value. Mobley's consistent rebounding and defensive contributions provide a strong foundation to go along with a sizable offensive role -- he's operated as the Cavaliers' No. 2 option behind Donovan Mitchell in the early going of the campaign.

Green saw the court for just the second time this season, thrown into a larger role after Jaren Jackson (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (wrist) were both forced from the game prior to halftime. However, despite the increased playing time, Green certainly didn't set the world on fire. Should Utah continue to deal with multiple injuries, Green could be in line for a meaningful short-term role. With that said, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team experiment with different rotations on a nightly basis, based on what is and isn't working.

Bailey recorded his second straight double-double, logging a season-high 34 minutes in the process. Both Jaren Jackson (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (wrist) left this game early and did not return. Should they miss additional time, Bailey will likely be tasked with doing a lot more on both ends of the floor. In four appearances to begin the season, Bailey has been a top-50 player, averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Bamba made his first appearance of the season, delivering arguably his best performance in a number of years. Utah is quickly running out of frontcourt options, with Jusuf Nurkic (toe), Jaxson Hayes (shoulder), Jaren Jackson (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (wrist) all sidelined. Other than Nurkic, we don't really have a timeline on when any of the other players will return to the court. However, viewing Bamba as a speculative short-term add isn't the worst idea.

Lendeborg put together the best final line of his young NBA career, propelling Golden State to a comfortable victory. The rookie forward has shown promise as a scorer, especially over his last two games, racking up 57 total points over this short stretch. Coach Steve Kerr noted after the game that he was particularly impressed with Lendeborg's performance in the win. "Basically, in all the critical moments of the game, we put the ball in his hands. And for a rookie to be that advanced already, it's extremely rare," said Kerr, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Wells scored double digits for the fourth straight game to start the season, but he added very little in terms of peripheral numbers. Although he has recorded six steals in that time, four of those came in the season opener. Despite seemingly having a consistent starter-level role, Wells should be seen as nothing more than a stream option for points and threes.

Coward recorded his second straight double-double, helping Memphis to its fourth straight victory to begin the season. After missing the second game of the campaign due to a wrist injury, Coward has put that behind him, playing some of the best basketball of his young career. In three appearances thus far, he has averaged 12.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 three-pointers, good enough for top-55 value in standard leagues.

Edey was back in the rotation after missing Sunday's game due to injury management. While it was great to see him back on the floor, early foul trouble limited him to just 21 minutes. It continues what has been a rough start to the season, both in terms of production and minutes played. With that said, Memphis is well within its rights to play it safe, given that Edey is coming off a relatively significant foot injury. He remains a clear hold, although managers may have to expect plenty of ups and downs, at least for the first month of the season.

It's unclear at this time whether Youngblood is still dealing with an ankle injury, or if this decision is simply because he's on a two-way contract. Either way, he's yet to make his 2026-27 debut and will need to wait at least until Thursday against the Grizzlies to do so.

Smith continued his impressive start to the season, recording his first double-double of the campaign. He has scored double digits in three of his four games, averaging 16.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 2.3 combined steals and blocks during that time. He currently sits inside the top 30 in nine-category leagues, providing fantasy managers with a potential sell-high opportunity.

Eason was strong again Monday, continuing his impressive start to the season. Forgetting about his first game of the season, in which he was ejected, Eason has put up solid averages of 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 combined steals and blocks over his past three outings. However, much of his recent production has come with other players sidelined, which does raise some concerns regarding his role when the team is healthy. For now, he is a must-roster player, with a likely re-evaluation period coming in the next week.

VanVleet was back in the lineup after sitting out the previous game due to injury management. However, despite returning to the court, VanVleet's production left a lot to be desired. While his impact on this team is certainly obvious, it could be a situation where his real-life value outweighs his fantasy value. He will almost certainly be better than this, but he could be considered the fourth or even fifth option on offense, limiting his overall upside.

Ejiofor was back in the rotation, albeit for one minute during garbage time. Taken with the 23rd overall selection in the 2026 NBA Draft, it appears as though Ejiofor is going to struggle to crack the every-night rotation. Both appearances thus far this season have come in blowouts, a trend that we should expect to stick moving forward.

Coach Rick Carlisle stated that the big man had a lot of swelling immediately following Sunday's game, but that Zubac was doing better Monday. The team will presumably continue to evaluate him over the next few days to determine when he can return to game action. In the meantime, look for Jay Huff, who drew the start at center Monday night against Milwaukee, to see opportunities with the first unit.

McCollum scored at least 20 points for the first time this season while tallying a season-high three steals. To this point, he has been solid enough for fantasy managers, averaging 17.3 points, 2.3 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per game. At this stage in his career, McCollum is basically a points-and-threes guy, which should see him flirt with top-100 value most of the season.

Okongwu finally showed signs of life after a disappointing start to the season, providing fantasy managers with a sense of relief. Through four games, Okongwu has averaged 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 26.5 minutes per contest. Monday's game saw him record season-high marks in points, rebounds, steals and blocks. He will look to continue his turnaround when Atlanta hosts Miami on Wednesday.

Davis put together a strong all-around showing, resulting in his second double-double through four matchups this season. He was spotted grabbing his right hand during the final 30 seconds of Monday's game after getting bumped on a screen, but he joked after the matchup that his hand was simply hot from making too many shots, per Greg Finberg of Wizards Central, so fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Jones has yet to take the court this season after suffering a hamstring injury during the preseason and was ruled out again ahead of Monday's clash with the Warriors. The team isn't quite ready to put a firm timetable on his return, but Benedetto notes the forward could be back at some point within the next three games.

The game was already well in hand for Golden State with 8:34 left in the fourth quarter when Gordon's night ended early after disagreeing with a foul call. He couldn't get his shot to fall on the offensive end Monday, and he's now been held to seven points in back-to-back appearances.

Brown was held out of Sunday's matchup against Indiana for rest, but he's expected back in action Tuesday night. He's come off the bench in each of his first two appearances in the NBA, logging six points against Charlotte on Wednesday followed by eight points Saturday in Cleveland.

Wilson didn't deliver his most efficient performance, particularly from three-point range, though he still finished as the Bulls' second-leading scorer. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also had a productive outing on the defensive end, racking up at least three combined steals-plus-blocks for the fourth time in as many regular-season appearances thus far. He also has yet to score fewer than 16 points and has reached the 20-point mark twice on the campaign.

Miller has been asked to carry his team with both Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) out to begin the season, and he's done exactly that. The Alabama product has scored 30-plus points in back-to-back appearances, resulting in a pair of victories. Miller also became the second-fastest player to reach 500 made threes, doing so in his 170th NBA game.

Tatum turned in another productive showing after stuffing the stat sheet in Friday's win over the Knicks. The star forward finished as Boston's second-leading scorer, reaching the 20-point threshold for a second straight game. He also tied for the team high in rebounds and paced all players in assists, dishing out at least six dimes for the third time in as many regular-season appearances thus far.

Young put together another strong final line Monday, though it resulted in a loss. He's been facilitating at an elite level to kick off the 2026-27 campaign, registering three double-doubles in four appearances, and he's been almost as impressive as a scorer, putting up 20 or more points in all four games.

After logging 14 points on 4-of-11 shooting in Saturday's loss to Charlotte, Antetokounmpo bounced back in a major way Monday, albeit in another losing effort. The superstar forward tied Cooper Flagg for the game-high marks in points and assists. Antetokounmpo also paced all players in rebounds, securing his first triple-double with the Heat through four regular-season games.

Mitchell continued his hot start to the 2026-27 campaign by leading Cleveland to a second consecutive win. He's put up 20-plus points in all three of his appearances so far this year, and he was more involved as a facilitator Monday, recording seven dimes after totaling seven total assists through his first two matchups entering the day.

Flagg returned from a one-game absence due to a left shoulder sprain and stuffed the stat sheet. The star forward tied for the game-high scoring total in an efficient performance from inside the arc and dished out a career-high-tying 11 assists. He also logged a career-best five steals and has supplied at least three swipes in all three of his regular-season appearances thus far.

The Timberwolves weren't sure Edwards was going to suit up Monday, as the team was pondering a maintenance day for the star guard, but he was given the green light to play and put on a show. He turned in a game-high 47 points and reached the 40-point threshold for the second time through four games to open the new campaign. However, it wasn't quite enough to carry Minnesota to a victory, with Donovan Mitchell leading the charge for Cleveland to spoil Edwards' big night.

Markkanen exited to the locker room in the first quarter and won't return due to a right wrist injury. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game against the Spurs. The Jazz noted after the game that Markkanen will be sent for imaging Tuesday, per Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune. If the veteran forward is forced to miss time, Kyle Filipowski, Ace Bailey and Brice Sensabaugh would likely see increased playing time.

Carr is presumably getting some work in with LA's G League affiliate as he continues to battle his way back from an oblique strain. He's been ruled out for the Lakers' matchup against Portland on Tuesday but could have a chance to make his NBA debut Wednesday against the Clippers.

Markkanen exited to the locker room in the opening quarter and is questionable to check back in. If the veteran forward doesn't return, Ace Bailey and Kyle Filipowski will likely see increased burn.

An opposing player landed on Jackson's leg early in the second quarter, and after initially remaining in the game, he ultimately checked out and went to the locker room. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but Jackson has been shut down for the rest of the evening. Lauri Markkanen (wrist) also left Monday's game in the first half and is questionable to return, potentially opening up minutes for Svi Mykhailiuk, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh at both forward spots.

Santos will shed his questionable tag and start Monday's contest. In two starts this regular season, he's averaged 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 24.0 minutes per tilt.

Ike started the Warriors' last two games but will shift to the second unit Monday. The big man came off the bench during Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Lakers, when he posted eight points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 12 minutes.

Richard drew his first start of the season Saturday with three members of the usual starting five sidelined, but he'll rotate back to the bench for Monday's matchup. He tallied eight points and five rebounds in 20 minutes during the season opener off the bench but was held scoreless in three minutes Friday night against Memphis.

Williams will rotate back to the bench with Stephen Curry returning from a rest day Saturday. Williams has totaled 18 points in 27 minutes over his first two games off the bench this season.

Caruso turned his ankle late in the second quarter and won't return in the second half of this one. With the veteran wing out for the remainder of the contest, Bennett Stirtz and Josh Dix will likely see increased burn. Caruso's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game at Dallas.

Markkanen checked out of the game with 5:58 remaining in the first quarter and was spotted walking to the locker room. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

De Larrea exited Monday's contest in the second quarter due to a right knee strain and was initially deemed doubtful to return before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Thunder.

As expected, Johnson will be shut down Monday while battling a right ankle sprain. Bryce Hopkins drew the start in Johnson's place Saturday and could have an opportunity to do so again Monday, though Trevon Brazile could also factor into the mix given a lack of depth at forward.

Gafford looked to take a knee to the body on a Giannis Antetokounmpo dunk, and the big man was spotted going into the locker room right after. However, Gafford was able to return later in the quarter after getting checked out.

Caruso appeared to turn his ankle before limping to the locker room. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

De Larrea suffered the injury during the second quarter while trying to corral an inbound pass. Walter Clayton could pick up a few additional minutes in the second half, assuming de Larrea doesn't return.

The big man will play in the second leg of this back-to-back set, though Zach Edey (ankle) will return to action and push Stewart to the bench. Stewart is averaging 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 19.5 minutes per contest in two regular-season appearances (one start) on the campaign.

Williams was deemed probable Sunday due to left lower-back soreness, but he's been cleared to play and should see minutes off the bench in the Warriors' backcourt. He started against Phoenix on Saturday in a game where the Warriors rested several starters and posted 20 points with five assists, so he's likely to see a relatively voluminous role with the second unit.

Santos will shed his questionable tag due to left knee tendinitis. He's expected to come off the bench after starting Saturday's loss to the Suns, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bassey will play in his second consecutive contest after sitting out the first two outings of the season for Golden State. He posted 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks in just 13 minutes during Saturday's loss to Phoenix, and he should see limited minutes again with Draymond Green (back) returning to the lineup.

Stewart will shed his questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Through two regular-season games (one start), he's averaging 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 19.5 minutes per contest.

After missing Sunday's contest against the Kings with a bone bruise in his right knee, Lopez will suit up for the second leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set. Even when he was healthy prior to the absence, the rookie first-rounder was not a part of the regular rotation for Memphis, and that will likely be the case again in Utah.

De Larrea took a hard fall while trying to catch an inbound pass, and he hobbled to the locker room shortly after. He can be considered questionable to return at this time.

Hayes will miss the second leg of this back-to-back due to right shoulder soreness after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. That means Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba are likely to handle a bigger role off the bench. Hayes' next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Thiero continues to miss time due to swelling in his left knee. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Wednesday against the Clippers.

Sheppard drew the start Saturday in Fred VanVleet's absence, but the 22-year-old will retreat to the bench Monday with VanVleet back in action. Sheppard logged 16 minutes off the bench in the season opener, though he could see more minutes Monday with Marcus Smart (arm) ruled out.

Carr will miss a fourth consecutive regular-season contest due to an oblique strain. The rookie's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Clippers.

Carlson is trending in the right direction after missing Portland's first two regular-season games while in the league's concussion protocol. His potential return likely wouldn't impact the rotation.

Henderson is evidently dealing with some soreness following Friday's matchup in Sacramento. The Blazers should have a better idea of his availability after watching him go through shootaround and warmups ahead of Tuesday's tipoff.

Champagnie wasn't able to put much weight on his right foot on his way to the locker room, and he's since been downgraded to out. The severity of his injury is unclear at this time. Champagnie can be considered day-to-day leading up to Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Champagnie can be considered questionable to return until the team has more information to share. Khris Middleton and Will Riley could see more run if Champagnie is downgraded to out.

Mitchell will move to the starting lineup and could be in line for a larger role for the foreseeable future since both Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) are expected to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the season. Mitchell recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 win over the Clippers.

Chet Holmgren (knee) won't play in the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) on the inactive list. As a result, Williams will join the starting five for the first time since Feb. 12.

Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) are both expected to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the season, opening up spots in the first unit for Ajay Mitchell and McCain. Through three regular-season games, McCain is averaging 9.0 points, 2.3 triples, 1.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 20.3 minutes per contest, though he figures to see increased playing time Monday.

Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's clash, opening the door for Huff to start at center. He started the second half of Sunday's matchup after Zubac went down and put together a strong final line, finishing with 14 points, two rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 21 minutes.

Andrew Nembhard (neck/back) has been ruled out Monday, opening up a spot in the starting five for Oubre. The Kansas product also started the 2026-27 opener and finished with four points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes against New Orleans.

Sheppard was diagnosed with a torn left meniscus Friday, and the team has since determined that he'll require surgery. A timetable for the guard's return should start to come into focus after the procedure.

With Cooper Flagg (shoulder) back from a one-game absence, Risacher will slide to the second unit. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick is averaging 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.7 assists and 1.7 blocks in 30.3 minutes per game across three regular-season appearances (one start) thus far.

The veteran big man can be considered week-to-week until the Rockets offer another update on his status. In the meantime, Clint Capela is expected to see increased playing time behind Alperen Sengun. Jabari Smith is also likely to see more minutes at center in Adams' stead.

Nesmith has been dealing with a nagging left hamstring issue, but it's a positive sign that he was able to take the court Sunday, and he'll now play in the second half of the team's back-to-back Monday after previously being tagged as probable. The Pacers have been careful with his workload in the early going of the 2026-27 season, keeping him around the 20-minute mark in each of his first two appearances.

Nembhard picked up a neck injury during Sunday's game against Brooklyn, though coach Rick Carlisle noted that it's a back issue that will force the guard to miss Monday's clash. T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ben Sheppard (knee) and Johnny Furphy (knee) are also unavailable, presumably leading to additional opportunities for Kelly Oubre and Quenton Jackson in the backcourt against the Bucks.

White's next opportunity to play will come Saturday at home against the Sixers in the second leg of a back-to-back set. However, he should be considered highly questionable for that contest until the Hornets offer an update on his status. Dennis Schroder and Christian Anderson will likely continue seeing increased burn until White returns.

Despite being diagnosed with a mild left shoulder sprain that forced him to miss Saturday's loss to the Spurs and being considered a true game-time call by coach Dusty May, Flagg will play versus Miami. It doesn't sound like he'll have any restrictions following the one-game absence, and his return will likely send Zaccharie Risacher back to the bench.

Knueppel has yet to take the floor this season while on the mend from a left hamstring strain, and at this point in time, the team isn't ready to commit to a return date. Coach Charles Lee stated before Monday's game against Washington that he could have more clarity on the plan for Knueppel following the two-game road trip, which wraps up Friday in Washington.

Williams' earliest possible return date now looks to be Saturday at home against the 76ers. Royce O'Neale should continue to play meaningful minutes off the bench for the Hornets in the interim.

The Bulls reported one week ago that the big man would be re-evaluated in two weeks, so he appears to be right on track with his recovery from a hamstring injury. He'll presumably need to take part in 5-on-5 drills before getting the green light to return to game action.

Flagg suffered a left shoulder sprain in Friday's win over Indiana, though he's trending in the right direction after being held out of Saturday's loss to the Spurs. If the star forward is cleared to return to action, there would be fewer minutes available for guys like Sergio de Larrea, Jett Howard and Zaccharie Risacher.

Cardwell is progressing well in his recovery from a calf strain. Precious Achiuwa should remain worth streaming in all fantasy leagues for the banged-up Kings in the meantime.

Raynaud's absence is expected to extend into mid-November due to a right patellar subluxation. With Dylan Cardwell (calf) set to miss at least one more week, Precious Achiuwa, Jonathan Mogbo and De'Andre Hunter are candidates for increased minutes in the frontcourt.

Williams suffered the gruesome injury during Sunday's matchup against the Clippers and needed to be stretched off the court after a drive to the rim. He's expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2026-27 season while recovering, but the Thunder should have a better idea of a timeline for his return following surgery.

Reid was listed as probable heading into Monday's contest against Washington after battling an illness over the weekend. He'll continue operating as the starting power forward for the 2-1 Hornets.
