Head coach Jordi Fernandez said Brown (rest) will be held out of Sunday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Brown missed time in the preseason with an ankle injury and will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and two steals across 20 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to Cleveland. The rookie guard's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Boston, though he's expected to continue facing restrictions for the time being.

Mobley tallied 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks over 35 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 win over the Nets.

Mobley recorded his first double-double of the season, and he racked up five stocks after failing to produce any defensive statistics in the Cavs' season-opening loss to the 76ers. He'll look to keep rolling in Monday's matchup with Minnesota.

Porter produced 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four steals and one assist across 33 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.

Porter turned in an efficient all-around shooting performance en route to a game-high 25 points. The sharpshooter also led the Nets in rebounds while chipping in a game-best mark in steals, tying his career high in swipes. He's been extremely productive through two regular-season games, totaling 54 points, 16 rebounds, seven steals and two assists while shooting 45.0 percent from downtown.

Embiid produced 28 points (8-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and four turnovers across 36 minutes in Saturday's 127-116 win over the Bucks.

Embiid notched his first triple-double of the year, setting season highs in points and dimes to go with a plus-18 differential in the win. Embiid said Thursday that he only intended to play in one game of the 76ers' back-to-back set, so managers should be prepared for him to sit out Sunday's meeting with the Pistons.

Walker exited Saturday's 127-116 win over the Bucks in the third quarter and did not return due to a right knee injury, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. He finished with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes.

Walker logged a season-high 12 minutes in the absence of LeBron James (back), though the former injured his knee in the third quarter and never checked back in. Walker can be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit until more information comes to light.

Jaquez posted 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes in Saturday's 127-116 loss to the 76ers.

After dropping a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double in Friday's loss to Chicago, Jaquez turned in another productive performance in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 25-year-old swingman led the Bucks in scoring and assists while finishing third on the team in rebounds. He's been impressive through three regular-season games with the Bucks, posting at least 19 points and seven rebounds in all of them.

Sharpe was ejected in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Cavaliers after being assessed his second Flagrant 1 foul, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports. He'll finish with seven points (3-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes.

Sharpe picked up his second Flagrant 1 foul on a reckless closeout. The big man struggled with efficiency before being tossed but grabbed eight rebounds for a second straight game to begin the regular season.

Mitchell logged 22 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Hornets.

While the Heat have gotten off to a rough 0-3 start, Mitchell has been a consistent bright spot for the club. Through three games, Mitchell is flirting with top-50 value behind averages of 17.0 points, 8.7 assists, 2.3 triples and 1.0 blocks per game on 51.4 percent shooting from the field and 80 percent at the charity stripe.

Adebayo had 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Hornets.

Adebayo's 20 points accounted for a season-high, but he wasn't particularly efficient and also coughed up four turnovers. The 29-year-old big man is going through some growing pains adjusting to his new superstar teammate, and the lack of spacing has been a problem for Miami, as they've opened the season 0-3. While the Heat rank in the top five in three-point attempts per game, they also rank in the bottom half in three-point percentage, which is a tough combination if you're trying to win games.

Antetokounmpo logged 14 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Hornets.

After racking up 71 points on 62.2 percent shooting through the first two games of the season, Antetokounmpo had an off-night Saturday and fouled out of the game with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He struggled with some tough defense from Naz Reid, but he should be able to bounce back Monday with a more favorable matchup against the Mavericks.
