Miller managed six points (2-14 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two steals and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's 128-81 loss to the Hawks.

Miller followed his inefficient season opener with an even more difficult shooting performance, and he's connected on just four of his 25 three-point attempts through two games. His aggressive perimeter shooting remains encouraging from a usage standpoint, but the lack of efficiency and limited peripheral production have severely restricted his fantasy output. Miller should have opportunities to rebound offensively, although his early-season struggles are certainly disappointing.

Harper ended with 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 114-110 loss to the Rockets.

Harper scored an efficient 20 points despite the loss, although a lack of peripheral production was somewhat disappointing. Fantasy managers have to be thrilled with the fact that Harper has been inserted into the starting lineup. However, there is certainly a case to be made that sharing the floor with the likes of Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle could cut into the time he has his hands on the ball. With that said, he should still be able to flirt with mid-round value moving forward, even higher should he manage to add meaningful defensive contributions.

Wiggins notched 19 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), a rebound, an assist and two steals across 22 minutes off the bench in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.

Wiggins tied Jalen Johnson for the team lead in scoring despite playing just 22 minutes, converting seven of his nine field-goal attempts. His efficiency was impressive, but the limited workload and modest peripheral production suggest his fantasy value could remain inconsistent. With Atlanta featuring several established offensive options, Wiggins may need to maintain strong shooting percentages to deliver meaningful fantasy production.

Daniels delivered 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, seven steals and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.

Daniels needed just 23 minutes to produce an outstanding defensive performance, with his seven steals providing an enormous fantasy boost, and a double-digit steals outing would've been within reach had he played more. His rebounding was equally encouraging, falling one board short of a double-double despite the reduced workload. While that level of steals production is unsustainable, Daniels' ability to generate defensive stats gives him considerable fantasy upside even when his scoring remains modest.

Alexander-Walker posted 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.

Alexander-Walker contributed across multiple categories despite struggling from long range. His five assists were encouraging, although the lopsided score limited his playing time, so he didn't come even remotely close to the 31-point performance he posted in the season opener. Still, Alexander-Walker should remain an important part of Atlanta's backcourt rotation, but his fantasy ceiling will depend on consistent scoring and defensive production alongside his playmaking responsibilities.

Bogdanovic amassed three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 11 minutes during Friday's 114-110 victory over San Antonio.

After a strong showing in the season opener, Bogdanovic offered very little in Friday's victory, an indication that his role could be very sporadic this season. At this point, his primary job is to provide the team with spacing. However, this will likely hinge on a number of factors, including the opposition and whether his shot is dropping. Based on the limited sample size, he should only be considered for streaming purposes, at best.

Eason closed with 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and four steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-110 victory over San Antonio.

Eason made amends after being ejected during the season opener, producing a strong two-way effort as Houston pulled out a narrow victory. Perhaps more importantly, Eason played 27 minutes off the bench, perhaps easing any concerns fantasy managers had regarding his role. Assuming he can flirt with 25 minutes on most nights, he should be able to put up backend value in standard league, particularly for those seeking steals.

Thompson closed Friday's 114-110 victory over the Spurs with 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes.

Thompson sealed another stellar performance, blocking Victor Wembanyama at the rim to secure a narrow victory. Thompson recorded his second straight double-double, with Houston now sitting at 2-0 to begin the season. After settling as a top-15 target in drafts, Thompson has thus far rewarded anyone that was willing to pay up to get him. He will look to continue his strong start to the season when the Rockets travel to Atlanta to face the Hawks on Saturday.

Sabonis totaled 27 points (10-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists and five turnovers across 39 minutes in Friday's 128-120 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis has been a monster through the first two games of the season, amassing 41 points, 37 rebounds and 18 assists while shooting 83.3 percent from the field and 90.9 percent at the stripe. After making it through a career-low 19 games last season, Sabonis looks primed for a massive bounce-back year. Congrats if you snagged him with a top-30 selection on draft day.

Camara registered 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes in Friday's 128-120 win over the Kings.

Camara has been shooting the lights out through the first two games of the season, converting 61.9 percent of his shot attempts and 52.9 percent of his long-balls. Eventually these numbers will drop off, but he is getting a ton of wide-open looks playing alongside Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija.
