Wagner amassed 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Wagner delivered his best performance of the young season, establishing season highs in points, assists, steals and minutes. The veteran big man has now scored in double figures in consecutive games, shooting 11-for-17 from the field and 4-for-6 from beyond the arc during that stretch. Wagner remains a reserve behind Day'Ron Sharpe, but his recent offensive production could help him earn additional playing time in Brooklyn's frontcourt.

The Warriors are exploring potential trades involving Porzingis (personal), who remains away from the team indefinitely while dealing with ongoing health concerns, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Porzingis is reportedly contemplating his future in basketball as he continues to battle health issues that have plagued him for nearly two years. Golden State isn't expecting the veteran center to rejoin the team anytime soon, and his contract structure could make him an attractive trade piece despite the uncertainty surrounding his playing future. With no timetable for his return and retirement potentially on the table, Porzingis remains a highly speculative fantasy stash, even in leagues with injured reserve spots.

Reed tallied 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks.

Reed continues to take advantage of the absence of Jalen Duren (hamstring), leading Detroit in scoring while narrowly missing his second double-double. He has now recorded at least 19 points and nine rebounds in two of his last three games, establishing himself as a valuable temporary fantasy option. However, his workload and production could decline significantly once Duren returns to the starting lineup. In the meantime, he's an excellent stopgap at center.

Kessler registered 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Kessler was solid in the loss, scoring on six of nine shots over 33 minutes. The center's free-throw shooting was an issue again, but his rim protection remains key to the Lakers' starting lineup. He'll face a tough frontcourt test Wednesday against the Clippers.

Kornet totaled zero points (0-2 FG), four rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 130-103 win over the Kings.

Kornet played a handful of extra minutes, with San Antonio turning to its bench early. Although Kornet has firmly established himself as the primary backup behind Victor Wembanyama, he has barely been a top 300 player thus far, averaging just 2.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.

Towns finished with 27 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 20 rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 victory over the Pistons.

It wasn't a perfect game from Towns, who shot an inefficient 20.0 percent from deep while turning the ball over seven times. However, the 2015 No. 1 overall pick was the top scorer in this contest and finished with at least 20 rebounds for the 23rd time in his career to lead the Knicks to their first win of the 2026-27 campaign.

Sabonis supplied 20 points (10-16 FG), 14 rebounds and eight assists across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 130-103 loss to the Spurs.

Sabonis turned in an efficient shooting performance Tuesday, reaching the 20-point mark for the second time in four regular-season games while finishing as Sacramento's third-leading scorer. The big man also paced all players in rebounds and assists, dishing out at least eight dimes for the third time this season. He's racked up three double-doubles and a triple-double thus far.

Wembanyama finished with 29 points (14-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, five blocks, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 130-103 win over the Kings.

Wembanyama struggled from three-point range but dominated in the paint, tying his career high in dunks (nine) en route to a game-best 29 points. The big man filled the stat sheet, securing his third double-double through four regular-season games. Additionally, he's now provided four-plus blocks three times this season.

The Mavericks recalled Aldama (knee) from the G League's Texas Legends on Tuesday.

Aldama presumably got some practice reps in with the Legends after being assigned to the squad earlier in the day. He's still working his way back from right knee surgery he underwent in March, and he's listed as doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Thunder.

Ighodaro (oblique) is feeling better and considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game against the Nuggets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Ighodaro hasn't played since the regular-season opener due to an oblique strain, and he can be considered questionable for Friday until the Suns offer an update on his status. If the Marquette product remains sidelined against Denver, Khaman Maluach and Duop Reath would likely continue seeing increased playing time.
