Vucevic totaled 15 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 win over the Magic.

Vucevic had a smaller offensive role Saturday, attempting just seven shots to tie for fifth most on the team, but he maximized his opportunities with efficient shooting, including perfect marks from three-point range and the charity stripe. The veteran center remains one of the league's most dependable producers, having averaged a double-double in seven consecutive seasons entering this year and 11 times across his career overall.

Jackson totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

After starting Indiana's season opener, Jackson shifted to a backup role during the loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. He did play four more minutes in this one, but that could have been a result of game script with Memphis up by as much as 30 at one point. Jackson is coming off an Achilles tear he suffered in November last season, so it's likely the Pacers will ease him into a bigger workload as the season progresses.

Wiseman provided four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

After not playing during Indiana's season opener, Wiseman started and played 20 minutes in their loss to Memphis on Saturday. Four Pacers centers received minutes in the blowout defeat, and that trend could certainly continue in their road matchup against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Landale notched eight points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 victory over the Pacers.

Landale started his third consecutive game for the Grizzlies en route to grabbing a season-high eight rebounds. The 30-year-old veteran tied Santi Aldama to lead Memphis in rebounding, and it seems like the starting center job is his to lose as long as Zach Edey (ankle) remains sidelined.

Embiid finished Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 20 minutes.

Following a four-point outing (1-9 FG, 0-4 3PM, 2-2 FT) in the season opener, Embiid bounced back with 20 points on an efficient 7-for-11 from the field. The 31-year-old has played 20 minutes in each of the Sixers' first two contests to start the year, and it's no surprise the team is taking a cautious approach with the star center. He's expected to suit up for Monday's home tilt against Orlando.

Kalkbrenner finished Saturday's 125-121 loss to the 76ers with 14 points (7-7 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Over two games thus far, Kalkbrenner has missed only one field-goal attempt (12-13 FG) in his 53 combined minutes. The rookie out of Creighton has been the starter in each of those contests, and he'll look to keep up his solid start to the 2025-26 season against the Wizards on Sunday night in D.C.

Jokic notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 assists, 14 rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes in Saturday's 133-111 win over the Suns.

Jokic stuffed the stat sheet, recording his second triple-double in as many games. The superstar took limited shot attempts but led all players in assists and rebounds, while also tying the team high in steals in the blowout win. Jokic has totaled 35 points, 27 rebounds, 25 assists and four steals while shooting 41.9 percent from the field across 72 minutes through two regular-season games.

Hartenstein had 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Saturday's 117-100 win over the Hawks.

Hartenstein scored in double figures for the first time this season. He also finished as the Thunder's second-leading rebounder en route to his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Through three regular-season games, he's averaging 8.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.3 minutes per contest.

Okongwu tallied 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during the Hawks' 117-100 loss to the Thunder on Saturday.

Okongwu got the start at center for a second straight game due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Okongwu put together a solid stat line, logging his first double-double of the season while leading the Hawks in rebounds. He would be in line to start again Monday against the Bulls if Porzingis is not cleared to return.

Holmgren recorded 31 points (8-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block over 27 minutes during the Thunder's 117-100 win over the Hawks on Saturday.

Holmgren got off to a hot start with 14 points in the first quarter before closing things out with eight more points in the fourth. He led the Thunder in scoring for the first time this season and has logged a double-double and at least two steals in back-to-back games. Holmgren has opened the 2025-26 regular season connecting on 56.1 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 24.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals over 35.0 minutes per game.
