Sharp racked up three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 14 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

The rookie second-rounder has somewhat surprisingly nailed down a rotation spot in the early going with the rebuilding Kings. That's perhaps due to Ben Simmons going down for the season with an Achilles injury, but Sharp isn't quite yet on fantasy radars in most leagues.

Grimes provided three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 win over Utah.

After scoring in double figures in each of the Lakers' first two contests to begin 2026-27, Grimes deferred to Collin Sexton in the second unit, who finished with 13 points in 20 minutes of action. The 26-year-old is averaging 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.0 minutes a night to begin his LA tenure.

Quickley totaled 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Quickley was one of Toronto's more effective offensive contributors, finishing third on the team in scoring while connecting on three shots from beyond the arc. However, he managed just two assists despite operating as a starting guard. Quickley's scoring and three-point production remain encouraging, but fantasy managers will want to see more consistent contributions as a facilitator.

Plowden registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

With the Kings' frontcourt banged up, Plowden has appeared in all three of the team's first three games. However, he can likely be left on waiver wires in most fantasy leagues until his contributions become more pronounced.

Barrett notched 20 points (9-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Barrett finished as Toronto's second-leading scorer despite struggling with his efficiency, particularly from the free-throw line. The forward remained aggressive offensively, attempting a team-high 21 shots, while his three steals provided additional fantasy value. Barrett should continue handling a significant offensive role for the Raptors, though his inconsistent shooting remains a concern.

Mogbo supplied seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Keegan Murray sat out Sunday with an ankle injury, allowing Mogbo to play an expanded role. Once the G League season begins, the two-way player is likely to report to the Stockton Kings.

Mamukelashvili chipped in nine points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 victory over the Jazz.

Mamukelashvili is averaging 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 22.3 minutes per game as the backup to Ziaire Williams and Walker Kessler in the frontcourt. Mamukelashvili will continue to provide solid contributions in three-pointers and rebounds for the revamped Lakers, but his upside is limited as a reserve.

Hunter chipped in seven points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Hunter is off to a sluggish start to the new campaign. The forward has yet to score in double digits in any of his first three appearances, but he should be able to hang on to a starting role with the rebuilding Kings going forward.

Martin (thumb) is out for Monday's game against the Heat, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Martin will miss his fourth straight game to begin the 2026-27 season. His absence won't have any effect on the Mavericks' rotation, and he can be considered week-to-week moving forward.

Edwards (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Minnesota is considering giving the superstar guard the night off for the second half of this back-to-back set. Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon would both have added fantasy appeal if Edwards sits out Monday.
