Castle produced 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during Monday's 119-97 win over the Jazz.

Castle got back on track Monday after being held scoreless his last time out versus Minnesota. The third-year guard is off to a solid start overall, averaging 14.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per contest through seven games this season.

Jones amassed nine points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 135-134 overtime win over the Grizzlies.

Jones struggled to establish himself offensively but made all three of his field goals from beyond the arc while contributing a steal and a block. His defensive versatility remains his primary fantasy asset, though his limited scoring production and relatively modest workload capped his value Monday.

Okogie closed with nine points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 119-97 loss to the Spurs.

Although Okogie is seeing fairly decent burn for the Jazz early on, he's not been productive enough to warrant very much fantasy consideration. The veteran forward has averaged 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 points and 1.2 assists per game across six appearances this season.

Grant had 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 24 minutes during Monday's 135-134 overtime loss to New Orleans.

Grant provided efficient scoring in his reserve role, connecting on half of his field-goal attempts while knocking down two triples. He has scored in double figures in three of his last four appearances, but his limited playing time and modest shot volume continue to restrict his fantasy ceiling.

Buzelis contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers.

Buzelis endured a frustrating performance, committing five turnovers while attempting just five shots. The young forward has now scored 14 or fewer points in three consecutive appearances, and his limited offensive involvement Monday was particularly concerning. His ability to contribute across multiple categories offers fantasy upside, but inconsistent production remains an issue.

Boozer contributed 18 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Monday's 135-134 overtime loss to the Pelicans.

Boozer delivered another well-rounded performance, narrowly missing his fourth double-double of the season while contributing two blocks. The rookie has quickly established himself as a versatile fantasy option, combining strong rebounding and playmaking with an expanding perimeter game. His substantial workload and consistent involvement across multiple categories continue to make him a valuable fantasy asset.

Hart closed with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 27 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 103-90 victory over the Nets.

Hart made his presence felt despite another quiet scoring performance, leading New York in assists while tying for the team lead in steals. He also posted a game-best plus-22 rating as the Knicks pulled away in the fourth quarter. Hart's ability to contribute rebounds, assists and defensive stats helps maintain his fantasy value even when his scoring opportunities are limited.

Flagg ended Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings with 17 points (3-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals in 40 minutes.

With Kyrie Irving resting Monday, the Kings were able to devote most of their defensive attention to Flagg and hold the second-year superstar in check from the field. Flagg is still off to an excellent start overall, averaging 25.2 points, 6.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game so far this season.

Washington logged 12 points (2-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings.

Washington is holding down a starting position at power forward in favor of Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher. Washington has put up at least 10 points in six of his first seven appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists for the season.

Allen accumulated 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Allen cooled off after posting 25 points and 11 rebounds against Milwaukee on Saturday, managing just six boards despite collecting three on the offensive glass. He continues to offer reliable interior scoring and defensive contributions, though his rebounding production was modest in Monday's contest.
