Cisse chipped in seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across 20 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Bucks.

Despite being on a two-way contract, Cisse ended up being second in minutes off the bench only behind Naji Marshall (25). Cisse has also been integral for Dallas, with Dereck Lively (knee) and Anthony Davis (calf) out for the time being, shoring up their defense to the tune of 1.4 blocks per game in his last five contests. Cisse will likely continue to play behind Daniel Gafford until one of the aforementioned big men returns.

Reid logged seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 120-113 win over the Jazz.

For the third time in his last four games, Reid was held to single-digit points off the bench. Compared to his career year in 2024-25, Reid's scoring average and shooting percentages are way down, and he's seeing fewer minutes per contest as a result. He's due for some positive regression with his shooting, but his fantasy managers are likely frustrated at this point.

Sharpe (glute) won't play Tuesday against the Raptors.

After leaving Sunday's loss to the Knicks early due to left hamstring tightness, the injury is now being described as a left glute contusion. That's good news for Sharpe, and it means he'll likely be listed as day-to-day. Guys like Jalen Wilson, Noah Clowney and maybe Danny Wolf could see more opportunities until Sharpe is cleared to play again.

Vucevic logged 11 points (4-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 121-117 loss to the Spurs.

Vucevic has had a blistering start to the season in all categories but has cooled down in recent games. He's averaged just 10.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals in his last two appearances after averaging 18.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks in his first eight. Vucevic will look to get back on track Wednesday against the Pistons.

Looney produced two points (1-4 FG), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.

Yves Missi was cleared to return from a three-game absence after battling an illness, but oddly enough, he didn't see the floor. Despite his newfound role, Looney has been unable to make a big impact in fantasy thus far. Through five appearances, he's averaging 3.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.9 minutes per contest.

Missi (coach's decision) did not see the floor during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.

Following a three-game absence with an illness, Missi was removed from the injury report prior to this game, but coach Willie Green opted not to play him. Whether this was strictly a coach's decision or a matter of the team being cautious with the big man remains to be seen, but it was a puzzling decision as far as fantasy managers are concerned. A lot of eyes will be on the center rotation for Wednesday's game against Portland.

The Grizzlies announced Tuesday that Clarke (knee) is progressing well, but he will be sidelined for another six-to-nine weeks.

Clarke underwent a procedure to address knee synovitis back on Sep. 26, but a timetable was never provided at the time. The Grizzlies have provided more clarity this time around, and based on this updated timetable, the earliest possible return date would be Dec. 26 against the Bucks. Given his injury history, Clarke will likely face heavy restrictions once he does get the green light to return.

Filipowski had seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Timberwolves.

Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) missed the front end of the back-to-back set, but he remains day-to-day. Filipowski wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunity, and he's still looking to find the form he had as a rookie. Through the opening 10 games, Filipowski is shooting 36.9 percent from the field for 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 19.9 minutes per contest.

Kalkbrenner racked up nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds over 19 minutes during Monday's 121-111 loss to the Lakers.

Kalkbrenner logged yet another efficient shooting performance, getting his season averages to 9.2 points on 80.8 percent from the field, but he was unable to record a steal or block for just the second time. The rookie center has been a defensive anchor for Charlotte, averaging 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals so far. While Kalkbrenner has started every game this season, Moussa Diabate started the second half of Monday's contest, and Kalkbrenner finished with a season-low 19 minutes.

Zubac ended with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 30 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Hawks.

Zubac recorded a double-double but struggled at the free-throw line in Monday's narrow loss. The big man has now posted three straight double-doubles and five total this season. Through 10 games to start the 2025-26 campaign, he's averaging 14.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.6 minutes following a breakout 2024-25 season.
