Capela totaled two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 victory over Atlanta.

With Steven Adams (ankle) sidelined in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Capela saw increased burn. The veteran big man remains off the fantasy radar.

Fall (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit.

Fall will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a left quadriceps strain. However, the big man's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Embiid has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit due to right plantar fasciitis management.

Embiid will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting a 28-point triple-double in Saturday's win over Milwaukee. Adem Bona will likely see a significant bump in minutes in Embiid's stead.

Reed provided two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds in seven minutes during Saturday's 122-106 win over the Mavericks.

Reed saw a bump in playing time after not seeing the floor in Friday's loss to Houston. The rookie center is currently off the fantasy radar, as he's behind Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet on the depth chart.

Kornet produced zero points (0-2 FG), four rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Saturday's 122-106 victory over Dallas.

Kornet was held scoreless for the first time this season. The big man's fantasy appeal is limited, though he'd be a streaming option if Victor Wembanyama were to miss time this season.

Wagner finished with six points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.

Wagner struggled mightily with efficiency from inside the arc Saturday and is now shooting 22.2 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from deep through two regular-season appearances. The big man will likely continue operating as Day'Ron Sharpe's primary backup.

Sengun had 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 win over Atlanta.

The double-double was the second in three games for Sengun to begin the season. The 24-year-old center hasn't made much of a defensive impact yet, but he may be adding some long-range shooting to his portfolio, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 9.0 boards, 6.3 assists and 1.7 threes so far.

Sarr amassed 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 23 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 victory over the Bulls.

After failing to record a block in the first two games of the season, Sarr opened his account with a big night at the rim in Chicago. The third-year center's 10 points were also his best effort yet in 2026-27, as he attempts to find his place in an offense that's set to be dominated by Trae Young and Anthony Davis as long as both veterans stay healthy, and which will need to accommodate first overall pick AJ Dybantsa (ankle) in the near future as well.

Duren will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a right hamstring strain, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Duren suffered the hamstring injury in Friday's win over Miami and is set to miss an extended period. Paul Reed is expected to join the starting five and carries significant fantasy value until Duren returns. John Collins and Tolu Smith are also candidates to see a bump in minutes in Duren's stead.

Ware registered 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, an assist, a steal and two blocks across 29 minutes in Saturday's 127-116 loss to the 76ers.

Ware made the most of his extended opportunity, producing a double-double while also leaving his mark on the defensive end of the court. His 29 minutes were particularly notable compared with Myles Turner's 20, suggesting Ware could push for a larger role in Milwaukee's frontcourt as the season progresses. However, his playing time remains worth monitoring, as his current bench role could limit his chances to produce at this rate on a consistent basis.
