Cunningham contributed 30 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 win over Charlotte.

Cunningham knocked down a season-high four triples en route to his first 30-point performance of the year. The star point guard also finished second on the club in assists and has yet to dish out fewer than seven dimes in a game this season. Through five regular-season games, he's averaging 22.6 points, 7.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 34.5 minutes per contest.

Schroder supplied 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five assists and four rebounds across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 loss to the Pistons.

Schroder was productive on the offensive end Wednesday, finishing as Charlotte's second-leading scorer. The veteran floor general also led the Hornets in assists and has dished out at least five dimes in three consecutive contests. He should continue to see increased burn for as long as Coby White (calf) is out.

Reid recorded seven points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 13 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 loss to the Pistons.

Head coach Charles Lee said postgame that Reid "didn't meet our standards in the first half," and he didn't step on the hardwood in the second half. Although he saw limited action, the big man still finished as the Hornets' third-leading rebounder. He scored 17-plus points in each of the first four games of the regular season, recording two double-doubles in that span.

Giddey ended with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.

After ending the 2025-26 campaign by averaging a career-high 17.0 points, Giddey has been quiet on the offensive end in his first five appearances of the season. While he should pick it up at some point moving forward, he might not be as productive offensively as he was in previous years, considering the Bulls have Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Norman Powell all looking for scoring opportunities. Still, Giddey is a skilled all-around player, so he should continue to make a difference in other statistical areas even if he doesn't increase his scoring contributions.

Miller amassed 31 points (12-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 loss to Detroit.

After erupting for a season-high 39 points in Monday's win over the Wizards, Miller reached the 30-point threshold for a third consecutive contest Wednesday. The star swingman also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds en route to his first double-double of the season. Additionally, he tallied multiple steals for the third time in the last four games.

Buzelis finished with 17 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.

Buzelis had just 11 points in Monday's 133-99 loss to Boston. He got it together Wednesday, ending the night by tying for his second-highest points total of the season thus far. Buzelis is beginning to find his rhythm after a slow start to the 2026-27 campaign, with the 22-year-old shooting 50.0 percent from deep in his last two appearances while amassing one steal in each of his previous three games.

Wilson finished with 20 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to New York.

Wilson's solid inaugural campaign continued Wednesday, with the rookie reaching the 20-point mark for the third time in his young career. While the 20-year-old has certainly been a steady offensive contributor, he's also shined defensively and now has nine steals in his first five professional appearances.

Powell finished with 30 points (10-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 loss to the Knicks.

Powell ended with his highest-scoring game of the 2026-27 campaign Wednesday. He is still a threat from deep. However, Powell has shown growth as a defender and is now averaging a career-best 2.2 steals in his first five games as a Bull.

Anunoby finished with 23 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 win over Chicago.

On a night when Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges struggled, Anunoby stepped up and ended with his highest-scoring effort of the 2026-27 campaign thus far. He did hit his head on Karl-Anthony Towns' knee in the second quarter, and though he stayed in the contest, it's worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game in Philadelphia.

Capela chipped in 10 points (5-6 FG), eight rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 132-100 win over Milwaukee.

With Alperen Sengun (back) and Steven Adams (calf) both sidelined, Capela topped 11 minutes for the first time this season. The veteran big man was productive in the win, finishing as Houston's second-leading rebounder while pacing all players in steals. He'll likely continue seeing increased playing time for as long as Sengun is sidelined, though the star center is currently considered day-to-day.
