Sabonis finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Sabonis followed his triple-double against Portland on Friday with another dominant rebounding performance, collecting at least 15 boards for a third straight game, and he easily leads the league out of the gate in rebounding at 17.3 per game. Sabonis remains a reliable source of rebounds and efficient scoring while also consistently filling the stat sheet. Through three games, he has two double-doubles and one triple-double while shooting an impressive -- yet unsustainable -- 80.8 percent from the floor.

Jackson had 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 loss to the Thunder.

Jackson delivered a well-rounded performance in his third consecutive start, grabbing four offensive rebounds while contributing defensively. Although he missed both free-throw attempts and committed four turnovers, his ability to provide rebounds, steals and blocks makes him an intriguing option in deeper fantasy formats while he continues to receive meaningful minutes.

Poeltl ended with zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound in 19 minutes during Sunday's 117-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

Poeltl recorded a single rebound and no other stats, turning in what is likely his worst performance of the season. A modest start to the season has raised a lot of questions, particularly around his standard league fantasy value. Although it does appear as though he will be the starter moving forward, his playing and production have both been less than ideal. He remains a hold, for now, but could certainly be considered a drop in certain situations.

Towns recorded 22 points (8-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in Sunday's 111-102 loss to the Magic.

Towns has looked great to open the 2026-27 season, scoring efficiently while racking up three straight double-doubles, but that hasn't translated to wins for the defending champs. The Knicks are 0-3 to begin the year, and they'll have their work cut out for them Tuesday against Detroit.

Huff racked up 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 21 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 win over the Nets.

Huff started the second half for the injured Ivica Zubac, who rolled his left ankle in the first quarter and didn't return. Head coach Rick Carlisle said following Sunday's victory that Zubac is unlikely to play Monday versus the Bucks, so Huff could be in line to draw his first start of the year his next time out after making 47 regular-season starts for the Pacers in 2025-26.

Head coach Rick Carlisle said that X-rays on Zubac's sprained left ankle came back negative, but he's got some swelling and is unlikely to play Monday in Milwaukee, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Zubac rolled his ankle during Sunday's game, and with a quick turnaround, it seems unlikely he'll be ready to roll by Monday. Jay Huff started the second half of Sunday's game and finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three swats over 21 minutes, so he could make for an attractive streamer Monday.

Zubac (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nets.

Zubac left the game in the first quarter after rolling his left ankle and will not be able to return. Indiana plays the second half of the back-to-back set tomorrow against the Bucks, making it likely that Zubac will be forced to miss time. Jay Huff figures to see an expanded role while Zubac is out.

Reed will start Sunday's game against the 76ers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Reed will enter the starting five due to Jalen Duren (hamstring) being out. Reed performed well during Friday's win over the Heat, logging 19 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench.

Zubac is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Brooklyn due to a left ankle sprain, Pat Boylan of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Zubac rolled his ankle stepping on Kelly Oubre's foot, and while he tried to play through it for a few possessions, he eventually requested out and limped back to the locker room. Larry Nance, Jay Huff and Obi Toppin would help pick up the slack if Zubac needs to miss time.

Ighodaro (oblique) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Ighodaro is on track to miss his second straight game, which should help Duop Reath to remain in the rotation. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Ighodaro's status closer to Monday's tipoff.
