Sengun ended Monday's 120-110 victory over the Hawks with 29 points (11-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and six steals over 37 minutes.

Sengun put his fingerprints all over Monday's win, setting the pace in points, assists and steals. The star big man is off and running in 2026-27, having posted at least 17 points, seven boards, five dimes and one three-pointer in all four of his appearances.

Turner racked up six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over the Pacers.

Turner set a season high in rebounds Monday. The veteran big man, a rumored trade candidate, should continue to handle a big role at center as long as he's with the rebuilding Bucks, averaging 7.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.3 assists in 27.8 minutes per game over four contests this season.

Jokic logged 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 134-114 loss to the Warriors.

Jokic led the team in assists Monday, setting a season high in dimes in the process. The perennial MVP candidate has logged a pair of double-doubles through three games on the young campaign, posting a full stat line each time out so far.

Fall (quadriceps) was able to practice on Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Fall, who is on a two-way contract, is nearing a return to the floor for Philadelphia. He projects as an emergency depth option when the 76ers are shorthanded.

Mara finished Monday's 125-114 win over Phoenix with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes.

Mara delivered his best performance of the young season, recording his first career double-double while establishing season highs in points, rebounds, minutes and blocks. The rookie center also committed four turnovers and five fouls, but his contributions on both ends of the floor were encouraging. With Chet Holmgren (knee) sidelined, Mara could continue seeing additional opportunities in Oklahoma City's frontcourt, though his fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper leagues.

Hartenstein posted 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 125-114 win over the Suns.

Hartenstein anchored Oklahoma City's frontcourt with Chet Holmgren (knee) unavailable, recording a double-double as the Thunder improved to 4-0. The veteran center continues to provide a reliable presence on the glass, and Holmgren's absence could create additional opportunities for Hartenstein moving forward. His rebounding and efficient interior scoring make him a dependable fantasy option, particularly in category-based formats.

Maluach posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 125-114 loss to the Thunder.

Maluach delivered a solid performance in his third start of the season, reaching double figures in scoring while contributing on the glass and defensively. However, the young center also committed four turnovers and four personal fouls. With Mark Williams (shoulder) sidelined and Oso Ighodaro (obliique) still out, Maluach should continue receiving significant opportunities in Phoenix's frontcourt, making him an intriguing fantasy option for managers seeking rebounds and blocks.

Ware provided 16 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over Indiana.

Ware recorded his second consecutive double-double, providing Milwaukee with a significant boost on the glass. The young center continues to make an impact despite coming off the bench, and his rebounding production gives him a solid fantasy foundation. Ware's ability to consistently produce double-doubles makes him an intriguing option even while sharing frontcourt minutes with Myles Turner.

Huff recorded six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to Milwaukee.

Huff drew the start at center with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined but failed to build on his impressive performance against Brooklyn on Sunday. After recording 14 points and three blocks against the Nets, Huff went scoreless from beyond the arc and failed to register a block Monday. He could continue seeing increased minutes if Zubac remains unavailable, making him a potential streaming option for managers seeking blocks and three-pointers.

Smith chipped in seven points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Monday's 134-99 loss to the Celtics.

Smith struggled to find his rhythm offensively, converting just two of his eight field-goal attempts while failing to record a defensive statistic. The starting center also saw his playing time limited as Chicago fell behind by a substantial margin. Smith's ability to contribute rebounds and three-pointers gives him some fantasy appeal, but inconsistent minutes and scoring could limit his reliability.
