Green logged 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-6 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.

Green struggled with his efficiency, particularly at the charity stripe, but compensated with an impressive all-around performance. He led Phoenix with eight assists while matching Miles Bridges for the team lead in rebounds and contributing four defensive statistics. Green's substantial workload and versatility helped salvage his fantasy production despite the poor shooting.

Fox totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 119-97 win over Utah.

Fox converted five of his eight field-goal attempts but wasn't required to shoulder a heavy offensive workload as San Antonio cruised to its fifth consecutive victory. The veteran guard committed five fouls and played just 22 minutes, while rookie Dylan Harper paced the Spurs with 17 points and eight assists. Fox's efficiency was encouraging, but his limited playing time and modest playmaking numbers resulted in a relatively quiet fantasy outing.

Vassell amassed 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 119-97 win over the Jazz.

Vassell finished in double figures but offered little additional production, failing to connect from beyond the arc for the first time in three games. San Antonio's balanced offensive attack limited his opportunities, with Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson all scoring more points. Vassell remains a regular starter, though his relatively modest usage and limited peripheral contributions can lead to underwhelming fantasy performances.

Wembanyama notched 12 points (5-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 119-97 win over Utah.

Wembanyama struggled with his jumper but still delivered a productive fantasy line, leading San Antonio in rebounds and blocks while contributing five assists. The Spurs didn't need their star center to carry the offense, as seven players scored in double figures during the comfortable victory. His 24-minute workload and five turnovers were disappointing, but Wembanyama's defensive production helped offset an unusually quiet scoring performance.

George produced seven points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and seven rebounds over 22 minutes during Monday's 119-97 loss to the Spurs.

George endured a frustrating performance, shooting just 25 percent from the field while failing to record an assist or defensive statistic. He also finished with a team-worst minus-30 rating as Utah dropped its fifth consecutive game. With rookie Darryn Peterson handling a significant share of the playmaking duties, George's offensive role and playing time warrant monitoring.

Peterson amassed 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, three blocks and three steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 119-97 loss to the Spurs.

Peterson struggled with his overall efficiency but delivered an impressive defensive performance, combining for six steals and blocks while leading Utah with six assists. The rookie also logged a team-high 33 minutes and committed just one turnover despite handling substantial playmaking responsibilities. His ability to contribute across the board gives him considerable fantasy upside even when his shot isn't falling.

Bamba amassed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks over 18 minutes during Monday's 119-97 loss to San Antonio.

Bamba made the most of his limited opportunities, collecting four offensive rebounds and tying for the team lead with eight boards. He also registered multiple blocks despite playing fewer minutes than starting center Jaxson Hayes. Bamba's rebounding and rim protection give him some appeal in deeper formats, but Utah's crowded frontcourt rotation limits his consistency.

Eason contributed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 109-93 victory over Boston.

Eason made an impact on both ends of the floor, knocking down three triples while matching Alperen Sengun for the team lead in blocks. He also played more minutes than starting guard Amen Thompson, continuing to carve out a substantial role off the bench. Eason's combination of perimeter shooting and defensive production gives him intriguing fantasy upside, particularly if his playing time remains near 30 minutes.

Durant totaled 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-93 win over the Celtics.

Durant was nearly flawless from the field but attempted only six shots as Alperen Sengun took charge of Houston's offense with 26 points and 10 assists. Despite the limited scoring opportunities, Durant salvaged some fantasy value with three defensive contributions. His unusually low shot volume is worth monitoring, though he remains a reliable offensive option in Houston's crowded rotation.

Thompson closed with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 109-93 win over Boston.

Thompson was efficient in a relatively modest workload, tying Jabari Smith for second on the team in scoring. He attempted no three-pointers and contributed just one defensive statistic, limiting his fantasy impact despite the solid scoring performance. Thompson remains a versatile contributor, but his 25 minutes were his fewest in the past three games.
