Bogdanovic provided no counting stats across five minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 loss to the Timberwolves.

Bogdanovic has seen his role evaporate in recent times, to the point where he is barely seeing the floor. In four games over the past week, he has averaged just 2.5 points in 10.0 minutes per contest, barely making him a top-400 asset. At this point, he would require a number of injuries to players ahead of him in the rotation to have any shot at putting up fantasy value.

Hyland amassed 19 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 victory over Houston.

Hyland scored at least 19 points for the second time in the past four games, having now also scored double-digit points in four of the past five games. While he is being asked to do more on the offensive end, his production does seem somewhat unsustainable, especially given his playing time. In four appearances over the past week, he has averaged just 16.0 minutes per game, typically not enough to maintain standard-league relevance.

Gobert ended Wednesday's 117-107 victory over the Rockets with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 33 minutes.

Gobert blocked a season-high four shots, rewarding fantasy managers who stuck with him. It's been a somewhat underwhelming start to the season for the veteran center on both ends of the floor. Through eight games, he is averaging 7.5 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks, shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from the line.

Kuminga logged 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Rockets.

Kuminga chipped in across the board, continuing what has been a strong start to his career in Minnesota. With Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined for an extended period, Kuminga has been tasked with doing more on both ends of the floor, a role that seems to agree with him. Through nine appearances, he has averaged 12.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.2 combined steals and blocks, good enough for top-90 value in standard leagues.

Clowney (knee) supplied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 victory over the Hornets.

Despite playing in all eight games thus far, Clowney has been mostly a non-factor for the Nets. In 21.0 minutes per game, Clowney has averaged just 5.6 points and 4.4 rebounds, making him barely a top-300 player.

Johnson contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across nine minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 win over the Hornets.

Johnson remained in the starting lineup, although his production tells a different story. He has now started in four straight games, during which time he has averaged just 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per contest. Despite the opportunity, Johnson should not be on the fantasy radar, outside of deeper leagues.

Ellis notched one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 win over the Hornets.

After starting the first three games of the season, Ellis has since come off the bench in five straight games, culminating in a 10-minute performance Wednesday. It appears as though Brooklyn is already leaning into its youth, meaning Eliis' time as a standard-league fantasy asset may have come and gone.

Allen ended Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Nets with 22 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes.

Allen scored at least 22 points for the second time in the past three games, providing Charlotte with a nice scoring punch off the bench. Although his arrow is likely headed in the wrong direction, another leg injury to Kon Knueppel could ensure Allen remains a viable asset in most fantasy formats, at least for the time being. If he was dropped in your league, adding him might be the way to go.

O'Neale totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Nets.

O'Neale failed to score for the third time in his first nine games, continuing what has been a disappointing start to his time in Charlotte. While he has been an every-night part of the rotation, his production has been less than ideal, as he is averaging just 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per game.

White supplied four points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Nets.

White delivered another underwhelming performance as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury. In two games since getting back on the floor, he has averaged just 5.5 points and 2.5 assists in 17.0 minutes. His upside is high enough that he should be rostered in all leagues, although it appears as though it is going to be a slow ramp-up.
