Biyombo supplied two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 14 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Raptors.

Biyombo played as the primary backup behind Victor Wembanyama, filling the role left vacant by the injured Luke Kornet (ankle). Biyombo is nothing more than a placeholder at this point in his career, offering very little tangible production. Once Kornet is cleared to return, expect to see Biyombo spending a lot of his time on the bench.

Vucevic closed Monday's 128-123 win over the Hawks with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 34 minutes.

Another night, another big-time double-double for the man from Montenegro. The 35-year-old big man is off to yet another solid start this season, posting averages of 20.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 triples and 1.0 steals per contest on 64/55/100 shooting splits. The shooting percentages aren't sustainable, but as long as Vucevic remains in Chicago, he'll be racking up the points and boards as the focal point of the Bulls' offensive attack.

Sharpe ended with 17 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Monday's 137-109 loss to the Rockets.

After totaling just eight points and five rebounds in 29 minutes over his previous two appearances, Sharpe secured his first double-double of the season. The 23-year-old center was one of four Brooklyn players to score in double figures and also led all players in rebounds. Sharpe should continue to serve as Nic Claxton's primary backup at center.

Porzingis accumulated 27 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 128-123 loss to the Bulls.

Porzingis was hot from the jump in this one, as he scored eight of Atlanta's first 10 points, and his ending tally of 27 points accounted for a season-high. Unfortunately, he didn't bring much else to the box score, and the Hawks ended up with another loss. Onyeka Okongwu returned to the bench with Porzingis active and finished with 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the five-point loss.

Jokic accumulated 25 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes in Monday's 127-114 win over the Timberwolves.

Jokic was wicked Monday, missing just one shot from the field while pacing all players with 19 rebounds and 10 assists. The superstar center has now posted a triple-double in each of the Nuggets' first three games after racking up 34 during the regular season last year. As impressive as this start has been for the three-time MVP, he's yet to fully showcase his elite scoring touch, suggesting even bigger performances could be on the horizon.

Jordan posted seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 11 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston.

The 37-year-old big man looked surprisingly spry out there, throwing down a thunderous jam for his first bucket, and he brought some much-needed size to a New Orleans team that was without Zion Williamson (foot) and Kevon Looney (knee). The Pelicans will fly to Denver for their next matchup with the Nuggets on Wednesday, and if Williamson is again sidelined for that one, Jordan should remain in the rotation.

Queta had six points (3-8 FG), 11 rebounds and four blocks over 22 minutes during Monday's 122-90 victory over the Pelicans.

Queta recorded season-highs in boards and swats in this one, and he created numerous second-chance opportunities for Boston, with seven of his 11 rebounds coming on the offensive end. Queta has been heating up over the past two games, with his rebounding and defensive numbers, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it going Wednesday with a tough matchup against the Cavs.

Davis contributed 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes in Monday's 101-94 loss to the Thunder.

Davis recorded his fourth consecutive 20-point double-double to open the season, though his effort wasn't enough to prevent the Mavericks from falling to 1-3 on the year. The 10-time All-Star continues to be a dominant interior force and remains one of the league's premier big men, with durability being the only recurring concern -- one that hasn't surfaced yet this season. He'll aim to stay hot Wednesday against a Pacers team that lacks a proven frontcourt.

Holmgren contributed 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four blocks and two assists across 32 minutes in Monday's 101-94 win over the Mavericks.

Holmgren finished as Oklahoma City's second-leading scorer and rebounder, recording his third consecutive double-double. The 7-foot-1 center also racked up a game high in blocks and now has five swats through four regular-season games. Over that span, the 23-year-old has averaged 23.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals across 34.0 minutes per contest. He's also shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range.

Wembanyama posted 24 points (7-8 FG, 10-10 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 31 minutes in Monday's 121-103 win over the Raptors.

Wembanyama turned in another impressive performance, securing his fourth double-double in as many games. While he didn't block multiple shots for the first time this season, the big man has still totaled 19 swats thus far. Through four regular-season games, he's averaging 31.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 4.8 blocks, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 60.3 percent from the field in 32.3 minutes per contest.
