Conwell notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to Charlotte.

Conwell saw limited run for a third straight game to open the regular season, though he knocked down his only three-point attempt in Saturday's loss. With the Heat struggling early on, the rookie second-rounder is worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues but isn't currently worth rostering in redraft formats.

Hardaway logged five points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two blocks and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Hornets.

Hardaway struggled on the offensive end once again and is now shooting just 20.0 percent from the field and 17.6 percent from deep through three regular-season games. However, the veteran wing did tie the game-high mark in blocks.

Wiggins posted 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets.

The four three-pointers tied Nickeil Alexander-Walker for the team lead on the night. Wiggins has been the most productive member of the Hawks' second unit to begin 2026-27, averaging 17.0 points, 3.3 threes, 3.0 boards, 1.7 steals and 1.0 assists through three games while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor and 52.6 percent from long distance.

Daniels ended with 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 121-114 loss to Houston.

The fifth-year wing wasn't able to keep up his blistering defensive start to the season, but Daniels still put together a productive night. Through three games, Daniels is averaging 16.3 points, 7.0 boards, 4.3 steals and 3.3 assists over 29.0 minutes while shooting a scalding 61.8 percent from the floor.

Alexander-Walker closed Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets with 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes.

The veteran guard continues to fill up the bucket from downtown. Alexander-Walker has delivered multiple three-pointers in all three games to begin the season, averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.7 threes and 2.0 steals in 29.7 minutes.

Thompson (ankle) did not participate in Sunday morning's shootaround, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Thompson sustained a right ankle sprain in Friday's win over Miami and is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest. If the 23-year-old swingman is ultimately ruled out, Javonte Green and Isaiah Joe would likely see increased playing time.

Eason produced 19 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal across 31 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 121-114 victory over the Hawks.

The fifth-year forward produced a season high in points as he puts his ejection in the season opener behind him. Over the last two games, Eason is averaging 15.5 points, 4.5 boards and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes while shooting 52.2 percent from the floor as one of the key pieces of the Rockets' second unit.

Sengun had 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 win over Atlanta.

The double-double was the second in three games for Sengun to begin the season. The 24-year-old center hasn't made much of a defensive impact yet, but he may be adding some long-range shooting to his portfolio, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 9.0 boards, 6.3 assists and 1.7 threes so far.

Thompson finished with 17 points (4-12 FG, 9-9 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 win over the Hawks.

That's now three straight double-doubles to begin the season for Thompson, as he shows early signs of shattering his career-best mark of 21, set in 2024-25. The fourth-year guard is averaging 17.7 points, 10.3 boards, 4.7 assists and 2.0 combined steals and blocks through the early part of 2026-27, and the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft may not have found his ceiling yet.

Durant ended Saturday's 121-114 win over the Hawks with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes.

The 22 points led the Rockets on the night, but the team used very balanced scoring to secure the road win -- all five starters scored at least 14 points, and Tari Eason dropped 19 off the bench as well. Durant is looking a little more comfortable to begin his second season with Houston, scoring at least 20 points in all three games so far and averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 2.3 threes while shooting what would be a career-high 56.1 percent from the floor and 53.8 percent (7-for-13) from three-point range.
