Hart notched 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to Orlando.

Hart delivered a respectable performance across multiple categories, tying his season high with three three-pointers while finishing second on the team in rebounds. His nine attempts from beyond the arc were notable, though his fantasy value continues to hinge primarily on his rebounding and complementary production rather than scoring.

Brunson produced 28 points (12-28 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to Orlando.

Brunson led all scorers with 28 points but struggled with his efficiency, particularly from beyond the arc and at the charity stripe. The star guard accounted for 28 of New York's 102 points, though his four assists were a modest total considering his substantial offensive workload. Brunson remains the Knicks' primary scoring option despite the team's 0-3 start.

Bane logged 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 victory over the Knicks.

Bane bounced back from a scoreless first quarter to lead Orlando in scoring, connecting on four three-pointers while contributing across multiple categories. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) sidelined and Jalen Suggs suffering a right knee injury late in Sunday's contest, Bane could be asked to shoulder an even larger offensive workload in the coming games.

Richardson had six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and one rebound over 17 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 win over New York.

Richardson made his first career start with Paolo Banchero (ankle) sidelined, though he struggled to make much of an impact offensively. The second-year guard could remain in line for additional opportunities if Jalen Suggs' right knee injury forces him to miss time, but Anthony Black's strong season debut may limit Richardson's upside.

Black fouled out of Sunday's 111-102 victory over New York after recording 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 26 minutes.

Black made an immediate impact in his first appearance of the season, connecting on five three-pointers while providing a spark off Orlando's bench. He was expected to operate under a minutes restriction but still logged 26 minutes before fouling out. With Jalen Suggs suffering a right knee injury late in Sunday's contest, Black could see an expanded role in the backcourt if Suggs misses time.

Robinson delivered 21 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes in Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers.

Robinson has drained exactly three three-pointers in each of his first three outings this season and has cleared the 20-point threshold twice, so he's undoubtedly making the most of his opportunities as a spot-up shooter while playing alongside Cade Cunningham, one of the league's best playmakers. Even though his fantasy production is strongly tied to his perimeter shooting, he's surpassed expectations so far -- he averaged just 12.2 points and 2.9 three-pointers made per game in the 2025-26 regular season.

Collins registered 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks across 34 minutes in Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers.

Collins followed his 23-point performance against Miami with his first double-double of the season, taking advantage of the absence of Jalen Duren (thigh) to play an expanded frontcourt role. Collins should remain productive, although his rebounding opportunities and minutes could decrease once Duren returns. That said, he seems entrenched as the starting power forward and has done a good job of filling the void left by Tobias Harris (calf), who departed in the offseason to join the Spurs.

Jenkins posted 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and a block across 38 minutes in Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers.

Jenkins capitalized on an expanded role with Ausar Thompson (ankle) sidelined, playing a team-high 38 minutes and contributing across several categories. His late three-pointer helped secure Detroit's victory, while his rebounding and playmaking added considerable fantasy value. However, his long-term outlook remains tied to the Pistons' injury situation, as a healthier rotation could reduce his opportunities moving forward.

LaVine recorded 37 points (13-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

LaVine continued his run of strong play to begin the season, exploding for a game-high 37 points on solid efficiency. The 31-year-old pro has totaled at least 20 points and three three-pointers made in each of the team's first three games. He figures to maintain a high level of usage alongside rookie guard Darius Acuff this season.

Maxey logged 29 points (11-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-93 loss to the Pistons.

It took a while for Maxey to get going Sunday, but he turned it on in the second half, scoring 23 of his 29 points. The star guard also made an impact defensively, posting a game-high three steals and adding a block. There was a moment of concern for Maxey when he and John Collins clashed heads and were slow to get up, but they both appeared to recover shortly thereafter. Still, something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
