Dennis Schroder PG | CHA
Hornets' Dennis Schroder: Scores 25 points with six boards
Schroder supplied 25 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 victory over the Heat.
Schroder got off to a hot start in this one, pouring in 17 points on nine shots through the first half of action, but he cooled off after halftime. Still, this was a solid bounce-back performance following Friday's four-point, 1-for-5 shooting disaster, and he finished with a plus-5 differential in the five-point win. As long as Coby White (calf) is out, Schroder should be able to maintain some low-end fantasy value as Charlotte's starting point guard.

Naz Reid PF | CHA
Hornets' Naz Reid: Nets 23 points with nine boards
Reid notched 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 win over Miami.
Reid was phenomenal on the defensive end, helping hold Giannis Antetokounmpo to just 14 points on 4-for-11 shooting, and he delivered on offense as well. After a lackluster preseason, Reid has been rolling to start his 2026-27 campaign, churning out top-50 value with averages of 20.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.0 triples per game on 47.1 percent shooting.

Brandon Miller SG | CHA
Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores 34 points with full line
Miller accumulated 34 points (10-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 win over the Heat.
While Miller still struggled to get his shot to drop, this was a solid bounce-back performance following Friday's six-point, 2-for-14 shooting stinker. He's been getting a lot of good looks, but his shot just hasn't been falling through the first three games of the season. He's trending in the right direction, though.

Gui Santos SF | GS
Warriors' Gui Santos: Back in starting five
Santos will start Saturday's game against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Draymond Green (back) won't play in the second leg of this back-to-back set, opening the door for Santos to rejoin the first unit. He started Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Lakers, posting 12 points, five rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes.

Richard is in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Stephen Curry (rest), Brandin Podziemski (back) and Draymond Green (back) are all inactive for Saturday's game, so Richard will start, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Brandon Williams, Gui Santos, Yaxel Lendeborg and Graham Ike. Across 21 starts last season, Richard averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Leaves for locker room
Walker exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent ankle injury, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Charles Bassey C | GS
Warriors' Charles Bassey: Will play Saturday
Bassey (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Suns.
Bassey will return to action after missing the first two games of the regular season due to right patellar tendinopathy. The Warriors will be shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, so the big man will likely see significant minutes.
-
DeAndre Jordan C | NO
Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Saturday
Jordan will start Saturday against the Nuggets.
Jordan has been out of the rotation through the first two games of the season, but with Yves Missi (knee) unavailable, he will draw the start against Denver's Nikola Jokic. Across seven starts last season, Jordan averaged 3.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.
