Booker closed Monday's 125-114 loss to the Thunder with three points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes.

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 supplied six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Monday's 125-114 loss to Oklahoma City.

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.

Dix contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 22 minutes during Monday's 125-114 victory over the Suns.

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 notched 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to the Mavericks.

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 closed with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to the Mavericks.

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 amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during Monday's 110-105 loss to Memphis.

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 recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 18 minutes during Monday's 134-99 victory over the Bulls.

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 racked up six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over the Pacers.

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 contributed six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to Dallas.

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 finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Monday's 134-99 win over the Bulls.

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.
