Gobert racked up seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT) and nine rebounds across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.

Wednesday was not a great night defensively for Gobert, as it marked his first game since Apr. 10 of last season where he failed to record a steal or a block. Gobert averages 9.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.4 steals on the year, so hopefully he can turn in a better defensive performance Friday against the Jazz, who will be without their starting center Walker Kessler (shoulder) for the rest of the season.

Bradley closed with four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.

Isaiah Jackson and Jay Huff are beginning to pull away from Bradley in this center rotation. Across eight regular-season appearances, Bradley has seen 12.3 minutes per contest with averages of 5.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.3 blocks.

Eubanks posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Warriors.

Eubanks moved into the starting lineup after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out with a rib injury. Eubanks has now scored double digits in three straight games, with this performance the most encouraging. While he does provide Sacramento with an adequate replacement, Sabonis' injury doesn't sound as though it is going to cost him a significant amount of time.

Horford recorded zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to Sacramento.

Horford was a disaster on the offensive end, missing all seven of his shot attempts. It's been a slow start to his career in Golden State, averaging just 4.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game. He has already missed three games, a trend that could certainly continue. There is no reason to have him on a fantasy roster at this point, even in deeper leagues.

Queta finished with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 136-107 win over the Wizards.

Queta delivered another strong performance, recording his second double-double of the season. Although his production has been a little inconsistent, Queta's role as the starting center appears guaranteed at this point. Over the first nine games of the season, he is averaging 9.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks in 22.9 minutes per game.

Huff provided 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.

Huff drained four of his nine three-pointers Wednesday and scored at a pace of nearly one point per minute despite coming off the bench. This 16-point output could easily end up being an outlier for Huff, however, as he had scored 25 points combined over his first seven appearances this season (one start). Fantasy managers shouldn't overreact after one game, and Huff is better suited to remain on waivers until he shows he can put up these numbers on a semi-consistent basis.

Claxton had 18 points (5-9 FG, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 victory over the Pacers.

The Nets secured their first win of the 2025-26 regular season despite losing Cam Thomas to a hamstring injury in the first half. The strong two-way play of Claxton was one of the reasons why the Nets found a way to come out on top in this game. He's now scored at least 18 points in four games in a row while posting two double-doubles in that stretch. If Thomas misses time, Claxton could be in line for a bigger role on offense. The early signs in this 2025-26 campaign would seem to suggest he's ready to handle that responsibility.

Landale supplied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Houston.

Landale continues to put up solid numbers while starting at center due to the absence of Zach Edey (ankle), and this was his fourth straight contest with double-digit points. The big man is averaging 13.5 points per outing in that four-game stretch, and although he'll return to the bench once Edey is ready to return to the lineup, Landale is delivering a decent return to managers who trusted him as a reliable waiver option to start the campaign.

Adebayo left Wednesday's 122-112 loss to Denver in the first half due to a left foot injury and did not return. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said postgame the team would find out more about Adebayo's injury Thursday.

Adebayo logged two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across eight minutes before leaving the contest. With third-string center Vladislav Goldin playing in the G League on Wednesday, Adebayo's absence resulted in heavy minutes for Kel'el Ware and some small-ball center action for Keshad Johnson. Keep an eye out for a status update leading up to Miami's game against Charlotte on Friday, which is the first leg of a back-to-back.

Jokic generated 33 points (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 15 rebounds, 16 assists and three steals across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 122-112 win over the Heat.

Per Adam Mares of TheDNVR.com, It was Jokic's seventh career 30/15/15 game, which trails only Oscar Robertson (11) in NBA history. The 30-year-old center has picked up right where he left off after the 2024-25 season, having delivered a triple-double in five of his seven appearances during the new campaign. He's averaging 24.1 points, 13.4 rebounds and 12.0 assists with a 70.1 true shooting percentage.
