Reid ended Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Pacers with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes.

Reid had struggled mightily over Minnesota's first two games, turning in two straight, single-digit scoring stinkers, but he had an easier time asserting himself in the offense Sunday evening due to Anthony Edwards (hamstring) exiting early. It's a quick turnaround for Minnesota's next game Monday, and Edwards' ongoing absence could help Reid build on his momentum from Sunday's outing.

Huff finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) over 16 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to Minnesota.

With both Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) unavailable for Sunday's game, the Pacers opted to go big and slid Pascal Siakam over to the three-spot with Huff and Isaiah Jackson starting in the frontcourt. However, Huff and Jackson combined to play 30 minutes, and neither was particularly impressive. Jackson finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two turnovers and no other stats over 15 minutes.

Towns provided 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Heat.

Towns once again played through his right quadriceps strain that has been an issue since the season started. Even at less than 100 percent, Towns has been putting up some impressive numbers to open the campaign with 20.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.6 minutes per contest.

Sarr registered 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 25 minutes during Sunday's 139-113 loss to Charlotte.

Sarr attempted 5.1 three-pointers per game last season but converted only 30.8 percent of those shots, so he's mostly abandoned the deep ball this season. Through the first three games of his 2025-26 campaign, he's attempted just three three-pointers, which has helped lead to solid shooting percentages. It looks like he's going to focus on getting more efficient buckets this season, which could be a boon for his fantasy value.

Duren had 24 points (6-12 FG, 12-13 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 win over the Celtics.

The fourth-year center managed only 12 boards through the Pistons' first two games combined, but Duren flashed his upside on the glass in his first double-double of 2025-26. The 24 points were also an early season high, although his night was cut short Friday when he picked up a Flagrant 2 foul and was ejected after just 12 minutes. Duren has averaged a double-double in each of the last two seasons, but Detroit is counting on the 21-year-old to take a step forward now that he's gained more strength and experience.

The Grizzlies intend to sign Bassey to a 10-day hardship contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The 25-year-old center will join the Grizzlies to provide short-term frontcourt depth due to Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee) being sidelined. Bassey appeared in a career-high 36 regular-season games (one start) with the Spurs last season, during which he averaged 4.4 points and 4.2 rebounds across 10.4 minutes per contest.

Williams (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz.

Williams missed Saturday's game, which was the second half of a back-to-back set due to a right knee issue, as he will be load-managed throughout the season. However, he will return to action Monday against Utah. In two appearances, Williams has averaged 4.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Holmgren (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Dallas.

Holmgren was also questionable for Saturday's win over the Hawks due to soreness in his lower back, but he suited up and recorded 31 points (8-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block over 27 minutes. If the 23-year-old joins Jalen Williams (wrist), Alex Caruso (concussion), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Kenrich Williams (knee) -- among others -- on the sideline, Aaron Wiggins, Brooks Barnhizer and Jaylin Williams are candidates for increased playing time.

Huff will start in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

With several players sidelined for Sunday's contest, Huff will get the starting nod for the injury-plagued Pacers. The big man has averaged 3.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game over two appearances this season.

Wiseman will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Wiseman started in his season debut Saturday, but he will retreat to a bench role Sunday. He still figures to see a sizable role backing up Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson.
