Brunson collected 19 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 103-90 win over Brooklyn.

Brunson was held under 20 points for just the second time in seven games this season, but it was enough to help his team secure the victory. He's been particularly aggressive from deep lately, where he's gone 13-for-31 over his last three games. Brunson will draw another favorable matchup Wednesday against the Bulls.

Maxey amassed 26 points (10-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 36 minutes in Monday's 126-107 win over the Bulls.

Although he struggled from three-point range, Maxey was nearly perfect from inside the arc. The star point guard led all players in scoring and assists, securing his first double-double of the season. He also turned in another productive performance on the defensive end and tallied multiple steals for a second straight game. Maxey has yet to score fewer than 26 points in a game this season and continues to make an impact on both ends of the floor.

Miller registered 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt), one rebound and four assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 124-91 loss to Detroit.

Miller led the Hornets in the scoring column, but he needed 18 attempts from the field to do so. He couldn't find the bottom of the net from beyond the arc and is hitting at a clip of 30.6 percent from deep over his last three showings. Charlotte will continue to rely heavily on Miller's scoring production until Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is cleared to return, though Coby White made his season debut Monday and should be able to take on some of the scoring burden once he ramps up to a full workload.

Cunningham tallied 33 points (13-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 27 minutes during Detroit's 124-91 victory over Charlotte on Monday.

It only took 27 minutes for Cunningham to record a new season high in scoring and steals, as he accounted for a third of Detroit's 15 total swipes on the night. Monday marked Cunningham's second 30-plus-point outing on the year, with both of them coming over his last three games. He'll continue providing fantasy contributions across the board for the 6-1 Pistons.

Wilson finished Monday's 126-107 loss to the 76ers with 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals across 34 minutes.

Wilson turned in an efficient effort, particularly from three-point range, finishing as the Bulls' leading scorer. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also tied for the team lead in rebounds and paced all players in steals, supplying multiple swipes for the fourth time in seven regular-season games. The 20-year-old has been impressive on both ends of the floor to begin his NBA career, reaching the 20-point threshold five times while recording at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in all seven outings.

Smith supplied 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 42 minutes in Monday's 108-104 loss to the Hawks.

With the club extremely shorthanded, only six Pacers players saw the floor in Monday's loss. Smith drew his first career start and provided a full stat line, leading the Pacers in assists while finishing as their third-leading scorer. The two-way player's minutes should dip significantly moving forward, though he's making a case to remain in the rotation while Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) are sidelined.

Alexander-Walker finished with 34 points (12-25 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-104 win over Indiana.

Alexander-Walker stepped up against a short-handed Indiana squad, as he turned in his best scoring performance of the young campaign. He was dialed in from downtown, where he added 27 of his 34 points just a few nights after going 0-for-7 from deep. The 28-year-old also led the Hawks with four steals on the opposite end. Alexander-Walker has now put up 20-plus points in four of his first eight games of the 2026-27 season.

Wagner posted 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Monday's 103-94 loss to the Wizards.

After struggling with his shot in Sunday's 108-97 loss to the Celtics, Wagner bounced back with his most efficient outing from the field through seven regular-season appearances in 2026-27. He led Orlando in assists for the third consecutive game, a welcome addition for his fantasy managers. As long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) remain sidelined, Wagner is likely to continue operating as the focal point on offense for the Magic.

Davis contributed 27 points (12-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three steals and one assist across 34 minutes in Monday's 103-94 win over the Magic.

Davis turned in an efficient performance en route to a game-high scoring total Monday. The veteran big man also tied for the game-best mark in rebounds while finishing with a season high in steals. Davis has reached the 25-point mark while grabbing at least nine boards in three of his last four outings.

Mitchell totaled 17 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Mitchell found the majority of his success from beyond the arc, which was a welcome sight after watching him go 3-for-13 from deep over his previous two matchups. He also made an impact as a facilitator, setting a new season high in assists on the way to his first double-double of the season. Despite a strong final line from the star guard, it was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who played spoiled with a 43-point night to lead Oklahoma City to victory.
