Reid accumulated 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime victory over Boston.

Reid led all bench players in Monday's contest in scoring while finishing as one of four Wolves players with a double-digit point total in an impressive victory over the Celtics. Reid showcased his two-way play in the win, tallying a team-high block total while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals in 25 minutes of action. Reid has been the best player off Minnesota's bench this season, reaching double figures in scoring in all six appearances.

Gobert recorded 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-11 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 41 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime win over the Celtics.

Gobert led all players in rebounds while posting a double-double during an overtime victory over the Celtics. Gobert has owned the paint for Minnesota this season, surpassing a double-digit rebound total in all six contests while finishing with a double-double in five of those six games.

Adebayo racked up 22 points (9-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 108-107 win over the Lakers.

Adebayo had one of the best performances of his career in Monday's win, winning the duel against Anthony Davis, who departed with a groin injury, and later versus Christian Wood en route to posting his first triple-double of the campaign. Adebayo has scored at least 20 points in four of his six appearances, so his role as an elite two-way contributor for the Heat is not under question.

Embiid ended Monday's 146-128 win over the Wizards with 48 points (17-25 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

Embiid erupted for 29 points in the third quarter, marking the most points scored in a quarter in franchise history. All of his scoring damage came from inside the arc Monday, simply overpowering Washington. Embiid is averaging 34.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in his last three games.

Robinson totaled 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds and four steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 111-97 victory over the Clippers.

Robinson has been a beast on the boards early in the campaign, with Monday's effort marking the fourth time through seven contests that he has tallied at least 15 rebounds. Fantasy managers aren't used to seeing the big man do much on offense, so his season-high 13 points and 10 field-goal attempts Monday were a pleasant surprise. Robinson isn't likely to hit double-digit scoring on a consistent basis, which creates a significant dent in his fantasy value. Nonetheless, he offers value in other areas with per-game season averages of 12.4 boards, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks.

Wagner accumulated 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 117-102 loss to the Mavericks.

Wagner played a season-high 26 minutes, splitting center duties with Goga Bitadze while Orlando used only nine players Monday. Wagner has a tendency to gobble usage when on the court as evidenced by his per-36 minute averages of 21.4 points and 8.6 rebounds.

Bassey produced 10 points (5-5 FG), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 17 minutes during Monday's 152-111 loss to the Pacers.

San Antonio trailed by 32 points entering the fourth quarter Monday, so benches were emptied early in the contest. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old capitalized to the fullest with perfect shooting from the field and admirable defensive activity.

Jokic (wrist) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against New Orleans.

Jokic was deemed probable earlier in the day, so this update comes as no surprise. He'll look to continue his hot start Monday night after averaging 27.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists through his first seven games of the 2023-24 campaign.
