Dunn finished Sunday's 124-112 loss to the Warriors with 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and seven steals over 27 minutes.

It was only the second time through six regular-season games that Dunn scored in double digits. However, the veteran guard once again made more of an impact defensively and set a new career high in steals, one more than his previous best that he set Feb. 20, 2025, against the Bucks. Dunn is averaging 8.5 points, 5.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 steals over 29.7 minutes per game this season.

Lendeborg tallied 37 points (13-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes in a 124-112 win over the Clippers on Sunday.

Lendeborg scored 24 of his game-high 37 points between the second and third quarters of Sunday's game, and he picked up the scoring responsibilities in the absence of Stephen Curry (rest). Sunday was Lendeborg's second game of 30-plus points, and he has scored at least 26 points in four of his last five outings. In that five-game span, he has averaged 25.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.2 threes over 32.0 minutes per contest. The rookie 11th-overall pick has given the Warriors exactly what they need on offense, especially in the absence of Jimmy Butler (knee), who is not expected to make his 2026-27 debut until the new calendar year.

Jones (right knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Jones appeared to sustain the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game, and he'll be sidelined for the rest of the contest. Gradey Dick and Kobe Sanders are both in line for minutes the rest of the way in the absence of Jones, who will finish with nine points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.

Flemings (suspension) won't play in Monday's game against Indiana, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Flemings was assessed a technical foul and ejected late in the Hawks' 121-99 loss to New Orleans on Saturday for intentionally elbowing Pelicans guard Bryce McGowens in the head. Without the rookie on the floor, head coach Quin Snyder will presumably divide the minutes between Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Aaron Wiggins and CJ McCollum.

Nembhard chipped in 23 points (7-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 98-90 loss to Brooklyn.

Nembhard earned his sixth start of the season and handled the lead guard duties with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) still sidelined. Nembhard now has two consecutive 20-plus-point outings and has connected on at least four three-pointers in three of his last four games. The Pacers will continue to rely on the 26-year-old to run the offense for as long as Haliburton is out.

Jackson-Davis will start at center in Sunday's game against the Lakers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jackson-Davis will earn his first start of the season with Jakob Poeltl a late scratch due to a shoulder injury. Collin Murray-Boyles will likely see an uptick in minutes off the bench as well.

Poeltl (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game against the Lakers, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Poeltl was a confirmed starter Sunday. However, a shoulder injury will keep him off the floor versus the Lakers. Without Poeltl, Trayce Jackson-Davis will enter the starting lineup.

Niang is listed as the starting power forward for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Niang earns his second start of the season with Gui Santos heading to the bench. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green get the night off to rest, meaning Niang should see more usage and opportunities after coming off the bench during Friday's 112-95 win over the Lakers.

Randle finished with 20 points (5-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Sunday's 98-90 win over Indiana.

Randle played well enough Sunday to lead Brooklyn to its first win of the 2026-27 campaign. The 31-year-old veteran wasn't efficient overall, though he still shot over 40.0 percent from deep for the fourth time as a Net. In six regular-season appearances, Randle is now averaging 20.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists across 34.0 minutes per contest. While he has been productive, he has had trouble taking care of the ball, committing 4.2 turnovers per game.

Bassey is listed as the starting center for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Bassey will start in place of Draymond Green (rest), who will take the first night of Golden State's back-to-back set off. Bassey played nine minutes off the bench in Friday's 112-95 win over the Lakers, but he should earn a much larger role versus the Clippers and offers solid streaming appeal.
