Collins racked up four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 124-91 win over the Hornets.

Collins scored no more than four points for the fourth straight game, continuing his rough start to the season. Despite seemingly landing in a favorable position this season, Collins has been largely underwhelming. In seven games, he has barely been a top 200 player, averaging 8.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers. At this stage, parting ways with him in standard formats is certainly a viable option.

Robinson accumulated 24 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 124-91 win over the Hornets.

Robinson continues to defy logic, putting together arguably the best stretch of his career. Through seven games, he has been a top 30 player in standard leagues, averaging 17.9 points, 2.0 steals and 4.0 three-pointers, shooting 44.6 percent from the field and 88.5 percent from the line. He has connected on at least five triples on four separate occasions, while also tallying at least three steals in three straight games. He is a clear must-roster player, but should also be viewed as a potential sell-high candidate.

Sanders registered 26 points (8-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 125-118 loss to Toronto.

Sanders took full advantage of a spot start Monday and filled in admirably for Rui Hachimura (quadriceps). The 24-year-old Sanders led the Clippers in the scoring department with the help of a team-high five triples, which is also his best mark of the young season. He's now 9-for-17 from deep over his last two matchups.

Barnes collected 22 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3 Pt, 8-15 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Toronto's 125-118 win over the Clippers.

Barnes provided an all-around effort to help the Raptors snap a two-game losing streak in LA. He led all players with 15 boards and tied Darius Garland for the game high in assists (eight). Barnes did struggle from the free throw line again, however, as he's now 15-for-28 from the charity strip over his last two contests. He was 17 for his first 18 attempts through the first five outings of the campaign, though, and his ability to rack up fantasy contributions in every statistical category should have him flirting with top 20 overall value in 2026-27.

Curry posted 34 points (9-21 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Golden State's 116-113 win over Phoenix.

Curry dazzled in his return from a one-game absence, as the 38-year-old got the night off in the Warriors' first night of a back-to-back on Sunday. He finished as the team leader in minutes while tallying game-highs in scoring and three-pointers, helping Golden State earn a fifth straight victory after starting the season 0-3. The Warriors only play two more games this week, so Curry will likely suit up for the remaining tilts, both of which are at home.

Booker finished with 26 points (8-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to Golden State.

Booker turned in a solid offensive night, which included a perfect showing from the charity stripe. He led his team in scoring, but it wasn't quite enough to steal a victory. Booker has scored 20 or more points in four of his first five appearances of the 2026-27 season.

Doncic erupted for 42 points (14-24 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 138-117 victory over Miami.

Doncic has now eclipsed the 40-point mark in two consecutive games, as he's combined for 87 points over that stretch. The Lakers superstar led all players in scoring, three-pointers, made field goals, and assists in LA's second straight win. Doncic has topped 40-plus points in four of his seven regular-season outings, including a season-high 52 points in a win over the Jazz on Oct. 25. During that five-game span, he's averaging 43.4 ppg with 6.8 three-pointers, 8.4 rebounds and 8.6 assists in 36.6 minutes per.

Antetokounmpo collected 30 points (10-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-15 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 138-117 loss to the Lakers.

Antetokounmpo delivered yet another strong all-around performance, posting his second straight 30-point showing while making his presence felt on the boards. He also made an impact as a playmaker by tying Davion Mitchell for the team lead in dimes. Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.4 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists through his first seven games with Miami.

Hezonja closed with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Hezonja, who last played in the NBA during the 2019-20 campaign with Portland, keeps providing a spark off Cleveland's bench. The former fifth-overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft scored a season-high 12 points and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds in the Cavaliers' first home loss of the regular season. Hezonja drained multiple three-pointers for the third time in seven outings, as his three triples represented a season high. He's played solid defense but doesn't necessarily have the numbers to show for it, racking up seven steals-plus-blocks thus far. With health a concern for Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Jaylon Tyson (ankle), Hezonja is in line to absorb more opportunities to keep proving he belongs in the league.

Thomas finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Thomas got the first start of his NBA career due to Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Jaylon Tyson (ankle) both being sidelined, and he did not disappoint. The rookie second-round pick was second behind only Donovan Mitchell in shot attempts (16 for Thomas and 17 for Mitchell), and they tied for the team lead in scoring with 17 points each. Thomas was one of seven Cavaliers to score 10 or more points, and despite his low assist numbers (four assists in four games), he's not making too many unnecessary mistakes, averaging 0.75 turnovers a night. The 20-year-old has certainly earned the trust of the coaching staff and his teammates, and his confidence and energy should keep him in the regular rotation throughout the regular season.
