Davis logged 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 overtime win over the Pistons, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Wizards monitor his workload. The star big man's next chance to play is Friday against the Pelicans.

However, he left the game due to an illness and didn't return. The ailment isn't expected to impact Larsson's status for Opening Night, but he's missing out on valuable reps with a new-look Heat squad led by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Head coach Steve Kerr plans to start Santos to begin the season, per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Both Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) are expected to be sidelined for an extended stretch to open 2026-27, and Santos is in line for an amplified role in the early going. It's worth noting Santos averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 30 regular-season games as a starter in 2025-26.

Head coach Steve Kerr plans to start Lendeborg to begin the season, per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Both Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) are expected to be on the shelf for an extended period to open 2026-27, and Lendeborg is primed to help pick up the slack to start the year. The rookie first-rounder will be looking to make a case to remain a full-time starter and carries plenty of upside in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.
