Hartenstein posted 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 125-114 win over the Suns.

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 logged 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 125-114 victory over the Suns.

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 totaled 30 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 125-114 victory over the Suns.

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 produced 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 125-114 loss to Oklahoma City.

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 finished with 19 points (4-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 125-114 loss to the Thunder.

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 posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 125-114 loss to the Thunder.

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 (obliique) 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 closed Monday's 110-102 win over Indiana with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes.

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. His combination of scoring and playmaking gives him some solid fantasy appeal.

Ware provided 16 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over Indiana.

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 logged 23 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over Indiana.

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 contributed four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Bucks.

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.
