Pacers' Jay Huff: Swats four shots in 21 minutes
Huff notched five points (2-6 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one three-pointer and four blocks in 21 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks.
Huff had failed to send away any shots in his previous two outings, but he racked up the swats in this game and saw a season high in minutes. If he could consistently flirt with 20 minutes a night, Huff would be worth rostering in deep fantasy leagues as a shot-blocking specialist.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Won't return Wednesday
Davis (leg) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
It isn't clear exactly what happened to Davis when he suffered the injury. He came down normally after a jump shot but was unable to run back on defense, as he clutched at the ankle area of his left leg. Dwight Powell started the second half of Wednesday's game, so if Davis needs to skip Saturday's game in Detroit, Powell may have the opportunity to start.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Secures second double-double
Duren posted 21 points (5-9 FG, 11-12 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 135-116 win over the Magic.
Duren had an efficient night on the offensive end and scored over half of his points from the charity stripe. He also managed to turn in his second double-double in three games with the help of another strong rebounding performance. Duren looks to be back on track following a sluggish first few games of the 2025-26 season.

Suns' Mark Williams: Making first start as Sun
Williams is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Williams will make his first start of the 2025-26 season after coming off the bench in his first three games of the campaign. The center has been ramping up after he missed the entire preseason due to injury. He played 31 minutes in his most recent game, logging 25 points and 11 rebounds. Oso Ighodaro will retreat to the bench.

Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts 18-8-9-2-2 line in win
Sengun notched 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two steals, two blocks and two turnovers in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 win over the Raptors.
In Sengun's first four NBA seasons, he shot just 70.1 percent at the charity stripe, which was a major negative to his overall fantasy value. However, this season he's been converting 79.4 percent of his freebies on a career-high 8.5 attempts. The early-season free-throw mastery feels flukey, but if he can keep it up, he could easily work his way into the top-15 equation.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Questionable to return
Davis is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left lower leg soreness.
Davis departed Wednesday's game in the first quarter while favoring his left leg, and he's now questionable to return. While he's idle, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin and Dwight Powell could see more minutes.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Exits with apparent leg injuury
Davis went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Pacers with an apparent left leg injury, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
Davis landed regularly on a jumper, but began favoring his left leg shortly after. The 32-year-old big man eventually departed the game and went back to the locker room for further evaluation. While he's out, Naji Marshall, Dwight Powell and Caleb Martin could see more action. Davis was listed on the injury report before Wednesday's game with an Achilles injury.

Yves Missi C | NO
Pelicans' Yves Missi: Coming off bench Wednesday
Missi isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Denver.
Missi played just 19 minutes in his last outing, which came after a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. The center will come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt, as the recently signed DeAndre Jordan will draw the start in his second appearance with the Pelicans.

DeAndre Jordan C | NO
Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Wednesday
Jordan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Denver.
Jordon looked decent across 11 minutes in his regular-season debut Monday, but he'll draw a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic on Wednesday, so he's still not the most attractive target despite the starter designation. Joining him in the first unit will be Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Bench role Wednesday
Huff will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
After starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Huff will be in the second unit. The Virginia product is averaging 3.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 50 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from deep as a reserve this season.
