Murray produced 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-91 loss to the Nuggets.

Although it's a small sample size, Murray appears to be all the way back from Achilles surgery that limited him during the prior two seasons. Through four appearances, Murray has averaged 17.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.

Murphy amassed six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-91 loss to the Nuggets.

Murphy scored a season-low six points Wednesday. Better days are ahead for the star forward, who just dropped 26 points against Denver on Oct. 24 and remains one of the focal points of the New Orleans offense alongside Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson.

Battle chipped in seven points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one assist and two steals across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 victory over the Magic.

Battle struggled to find his shooting touch but supplemented his scoring with a pair of steals. The reserve forward received 20 minutes in the lopsided victory, though he failed to grab a rebound and attempted just four shots. His inconsistent offensive involvement limits his fantasy appeal despite his ability to stretch the floor.

Jackson-Davis registered six points (3-5 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 victory over the Magic.

Jackson-Davis made a significant impact defensively, leading Toronto in rebounding and setting a season high with two blocks. The big man benefited from Jakob Poeltl's foul trouble, as the starting center played just 10 minutes before fouling out. Jackson-Davis could offer useful rebounds and blocks in deeper fantasy formats if he continues earning meaningful minutes.

Carter ended with six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and three assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to Toronto.

Carter attempted all six of his shots from beyond the arc, connecting twice while failing to register a rebound or defensive statistic. The veteran guard saw a reasonable amount of playing time off the bench but struggled to make a meaningful impact. His fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats where three-point shooting is at a premium, even with Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined indefinitely.

Beringer provided seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 loss to the Warriors.

Beringer pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds Wednesday. Now that Naz Reid is in Charlotte, Beringer carries plenty of contingent upside as the No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert but doesn't hold particularly stable standalone value outside of boards.

Gobert produced one point (0-4 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 loss to Golden State.

The veteran big man failed to capitalize on the extra opportunity left behind by Anthony Edwards (knee), who is set to miss multiple weeks. Even so, Gobert should find himself being more involved in the Minnesota offense for the foreseeable future.

Cain amassed nine points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and two steals across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to the Raptors.

Cain made the most of his opportunities at the charity stripe, converting all five attempts while contributing a pair of steals. However, the reserve forward struggled from the field and offered little production elsewhere. His limited playing time makes him a difficult fantasy option outside of deeper leagues.

Mobley had 24 points (8-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 win over the Wizards.

Mobley delivered a standout performance from beyond the arc, knocking down a career-high five three-pointers while leading Cleveland in scoring and rebounding. He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter as the Cavaliers erased a double-digit deficit and secured their third consecutive victory. The increased perimeter production adds another layer to Mobley's already impressive fantasy profile, particularly if he continues looking for opportunities from deep.

Johnson posted 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 120-96 victory over the Thunder.

The Mavericks continue to bring the rookie first-rounder along slowly after Johnson missed the start of training camp. Until his restrictions are loosened, Johnson's fantasy upside will remain capped.
