Schroder finished Wednesday's 110-103 victory over the Nets with 19 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes.

Starting in place of the injured Coby White (calf), Schroder enjoyed a productive showing at point guard in his season debut. The journeyman floor general should be able to provide streaming value in most fantasy leagues until White is ready to return to action.

Green closed Wednesday's 127-105 loss to the Lakers with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes.

Green played the role of point guard Wednesday, handing out a team-high eight assists. The veteran forward's best fantasy days are behind him, but Green showed in the season opener he's still capable of chipping in across the board and could provide late-round fantasy appeal this season.

Williams ended with 14 points (3-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-105 loss to the Lakers.

Williams led the team in steals Wednesday and paced the second unit in scoring. It's hard to gauge how the Warriors will divvy up the minutes in more competitive games, but it looks like Williams will be a regular member of the rotation off the bench.

Sarr contributed six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 victory over the Bucks.

Sarr's 2026-27 debut alongside Anthony Davis (34/12/4/1/2) left a lot to be desired. The first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft was unable to make an impact on the defensive end after averaging 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals across 48 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Sarr will aim to make more of an impact on Friday against the Raptors.

Thybulle accumulated three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 127-105 victory over Golden State.

Thybulle didn't spend much time with the ball in his hands, but he still managed to post a full stat line. The oft-injured swingman is capable of piling up defensive stats in a hurry when given meaningful playing time, and it appears initially that the Lakers are willing to trust him with minutes in the mid-20s.

Williams contributed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-105 win over the Warriors.

It was somewhat of a surprise to see Williams win the Opening Night starting gig over Quentin Grimes, who started four of Los Angeles' five preseason games. Although Williams should hold streaming appeal while working with the first unit, he figures to have a tenuous hold on the role.

Brooks recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 loss to Portland.

Brooks hit double digits in scoring, but he failed to contribute in the box score outside of points and boards. With Jalen Green healthy and Miles Bridges in town, the veteran forward is likely to sacrifice some usage this year following a career-best 2025-26 season.

Ware ended with seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.

Ware struggled with foul trouble in his Milwaukee debut, picking up six personals while serving as a reserve behind Myles Turner. The young center showed some offensive activity but missed both three-point attempts and two free throws. His fantasy upside remains intriguing, though his production could be inconsistent while operating in a limited role.

Burries ended Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Wizards with 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and five rebounds over 16 minutes.

The rookie guard made a strong impression in his regular-season debut, knocking down both three-point attempts and finishing as Milwaukee's fourth-leading scorer despite limited playing time. Burries faces considerable competition for backcourt minutes, but his efficient performance offers an encouraging starting point as he looks to establish a consistent role.

Green registered 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 loss to Portland.

Green put together modest production in Wednesday's blowout defeat, which became lopsided early on. The 24-year-old guard endured an injury-ruined 2025-26 campaign, but he has a clean bill of health this year and should get on track before long.
