Mobley registered 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to Oklahoma City.

Mobley contributed across the board, delivering three combined defensive stats while shooting efficiently from the field. Although he fell short of a double-double, his combination of rebounding, playmaking and rim protection continues to make him a reliable fantasy contributor.

Proctor accumulated 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Proctor made the most of his limited opportunities, reaching double figures while missing just one field-goal attempt. The young guard provided a spark off Cleveland's bench, though his modest playing time continues to limit his appeal outside deeper fantasy formats.

Mitchell had 20 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 117-112 victory over the Cavaliers.

Mitchell provided a strong secondary scoring option alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, reaching the 20-point mark despite failing to connect from beyond the arc. His substantial workload and offensive involvement remain encouraging for fantasy managers, particularly if he continues to see minutes in the mid-30s.

Williams notched nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 138-117 win over the Heat.

Williams returned from a three-game absence due to a foot injury, but he operated off the bench for the first time this season and played limited minutes. Over his first four appearances, the sixth-year wing averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Mara supplied 10 points (5-7 FG), nine rebounds and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 117-112 win over the Cavaliers.

Mara delivered an efficient performance in a reserve role, finishing one rebound shy of a double-double while providing Oklahoma City with productive frontcourt minutes. His playing time remains a consideration for fantasy managers, but Monday's showing offered another glimpse of his potential as a rebounder and interior scorer in the absence of Chet Holmgren (knee).

Alvarado ended Monday's 103-90 victory over Brooklyn with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block across nine minutes.

Alvarado returned to action after missing four straight games due to an ankle injury, but he didn't make much of a statistical impact in limited action. The backup guard can be a spark plug on any night, but his production is sporadic, making him a better real-world player than a fantasy option.

Hartenstein closed Monday's 117-112 victory over the Cavaliers with five points (2-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes.

Hartenstein struggled to find his touch offensively but made his presence felt elsewhere, pulling down seven offensive rebounds while leading both teams in total boards. The veteran center continues to provide fantasy value through his rebounding, passing and defensive contributions, even when his scoring is limited.

Cleveland recalled Diop (knee) from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Monday.

Diop has continued to miss games due to his injury, having yet to make his 2026-27 season debut, even though he would be limited to a depth role when healthy. He's back with the NBA team after spending time with the G League squad, and his status remains uncertain for the time being. However, he could still be expected to make some appearances for the Charge while he builds competitive momentum once his knee is fully healed.

DeRozan posted nine points (3-7 FG, 3-3 FT) and a rebound across 20 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

DeRozan endured another subpar showing in what has been a disappointing start to the season for the veteran scorer. The lack of playing time has been an issue to open the season, as DeRozan has failed to reach the 25-minute mark in three of his last five appearances, including the last two. That reduction in playing time, as well as his limited role offensively, limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Braun finished with 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Braun delivered efficient scoring while continuing to impact the game defensively, as this was his fifth straight outing with at least two steals. His 36-minute workload reinforced his established role in Denver's starting lineup, although his limited rebounding and playmaking restrict his overall ceiling. Braun's steady playing time and defensive contributions support his fantasy relevance, particularly in category-based formats, even when scoring isn't his strongest suit. That said, he has scored at least 14 points in four of his last five games, so at least he's putting up consistent numbers in that regard as well.
