Sam Hauser SF | BOS
Celtics' Sam Hauser: Goes cold from deep
Hauser totaled two points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 109-93 loss to the Rockets.
Hauser failed to connect on any of his five three-point attempts as Boston struggled from long range, shooting just 28.6 percent as a team. The sharpshooter has a narrow fantasy profile built primarily around perimeter scoring, making outings like Monday's particularly damaging to his value.

Neemias Queta C | BOS
Celtics' Neemias Queta: Solid effort in loss
Queta posted 16 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Monday's 109-93 loss to the Rockets.
Queta was one of Boston's few reliable offensive contributors, finishing second on the team in scoring while missing just one field-goal attempt. He also collected four offensive rebounds, though he failed to record a block for the first time in two games. With Mitchell Robinson and Luka Garza combining for 33 minutes off the bench, Queta's playing time remains somewhat limited despite his starting role.

Jaylen Clark SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Limited output in win
Clark accumulated four points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 112-100 victory over Milwaukee.
Clark struggled from the field but provided defensive energy in a reserve role. With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Terrence Shannon (hip) sidelined, Clark has an opportunity to maintain a spot in Minnesota's backcourt rotation. However, his limited offensive involvement makes him primarily a steals specialist in deeper fantasy formats.

Jonathan Kuminga PF | MIN
Timberwolves' Jonathan Kuminga: Swats four shots in win
Kuminga registered eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 112-100 victory over the Bucks.
Kuminga struggled to make an offensive impact but compensated with a season-high four blocks and his first double-digit rebounding performance of the campaign. The forward also connected on two triples, providing valuable production in multiple fantasy categories despite scoring in single digits. His defensive contributions were particularly encouraging, though his modest offensive involvement remains worth monitoring.

Ayo Dosunmu SG | MIN
Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Flirts with triple-double
Dosunmu registered 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 112-100 victory over the Bucks.
Dosunmu delivered a well-rounded performance, establishing a season high in rebounds while finishing just two assists shy of a triple-double. He also logged a team-high 37 minutes and helped Minnesota overcome an inefficient shooting night. Dosunmu's substantial workload and contributions across multiple categories continue to bolster his fantasy value.

Kyle Kuzma PF | MIL
Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Struggles against Minnesota
Kuzma ended with two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 112-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
Kuzma endured another frustrating offensive outing, missing all four of his three-point attempts while finishing with a team-worst minus-22 rating. He attempted just six shots despite starting, while Milwaukee received more productive performances from Jaime Jaquez and its reserves. Kuzma's limited playing time and inconsistent scoring make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy formats.
-
AJ Green SG | MIL
Bucks' AJ Green: Connects on four triples
Green posted 13 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 112-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
Green provided an efficient perimeter scoring boost, accounting for four of Milwaukee's 15 made three-pointers while finishing with a team-best plus-12 rating. He played more minutes than starting forward Kyle Kuzma, who struggled throughout the contest. Green remains a useful specialist for managers seeking three-pointers, though his limited contributions outside scoring and long-range shooting cap his overall fantasy upside.
-
Jaime Jaquez Jr. SF | MIL
Bucks' Jaime Jaquez: Posts 19 points in loss
Jaquez ended with 19 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 112-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
Jaquez finished second on Milwaukee in scoring behind Tyler Herro and was one of the team's few reliable offensive contributors in a game in which the Bucks shot just 38.4 percent from the field. He has established himself as a regular starter, and his ability to contribute across multiple categories gives him a solid fantasy foundation despite Milwaukee's early-season struggles.
-
Brayden Burries SG | MIL
Bucks' Brayden Burries: Nears double-double in start
Burries notched nine points (4-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Monday's 112-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
The rookie made his first NBA start and immediately received a substantial offensive workload, although he struggled with his efficiency. Burries' nine rebounds were encouraging for a guard, and his 15 field-goal attempts suggest Milwaukee is willing to give him opportunities to develop. His role bears monitoring, but the inconsistent shooting makes him a risky fantasy option.
-
Zaccharie Risacher SF | DAL
Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Scoreless in 19 minutes
Risacher had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 115-100 loss to Sacramento.
Risacher struggled to establish himself offensively, missing all three of his attempts from beyond the arc while finishing with a minus-19 rating. Dallas was missing several rotation players, including Santi Aldama (knee), but Risacher failed to capitalize on the available minutes. His inconsistent offensive involvement limits his fantasy appeal, even in an injury-depleted rotation.
