Randle had a rare triple-double against the Jazz last Friday. The 30-year-old power forward didn’t have a triple-double on Monday, but was able to record 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Even with Anthony Edwards back in the lineup, Randle is a productive fantasy asset.

Edwards destroyed the Jazz for the second time in his last three games. The 24-year-old shooting guard had at least 35 points and led the Timberwolves to a win over the Jazz for the second time since last Friday. Edwards continues to play at a high level since returning from injury. The Timberwolves are off until Friday’s game against the Kings.

Sharpe exited Sunday’s loss to the Knicks during the third quarter due to left hamstring tightness. While his absence would not impact fantasy basketball, it would free up minutes behind starting center Nic Claxton. Danny Wolf, who was on assignment in the G League, could be recalled if Sharpe cannot play.

Finishing with his fourth double-double of the season, Gobert had one of his best performances of the season on Sunday. Not only did he shoot 90 percent from the field, but the Timberwolves center recorded a season-high five blocked shots. Thus far, Gobert’s fantasy value has been underwhelming, mainly because he’s averaging 9.9 rebounds per game. While that isn’t a “bad” number, he averaged at least 10.9 boards in seven straight and nine of his previous 10 seasons. Being more active on the glass will go a long way toward getting Gobert’s fantasy value back to where many expect it to be.

McDaniels has scored either 21 or 22 points in three of his last four games, and he’s produced five games of at least 20 points this season. By comparison, he had 12 games of 20 points or more for the entire 2024-25 season. McDaniels is averaging a career-high 12.7 shot attempts per game and shooting 55.9 percent from the field, which is one reason why he’s providing third-round value in nine-cat formats. The Timberwolves play three games during Week 4, starting with the Jazz on Monday.

After shooting 5-of-13 from the field in his first game back from a strained hamstring, Edwards has totaled 63 points on 19-of-37 shooting. Of course, some will point out that neither Utah nor Sacramento is on par with the Knicks team that Ant-Man faced in his first game back. However, how sharp he’s looked over the last two games should not be ignored. And the Week 4 schedule works in Edwards’ favor, provided he’s available for Monday’s game against Utah. Following that, the Timberwolves don’t play again until a Friday/Saturday back-to-back to end Week 4.

Powell may not have moved into the starting lineup in the aftermath of Cam Thomas’ hamstring injury, but the rookie has received more playing time to show what he can do. After logging 27 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, Powell played 23 on Sunday and produced his best offensive showing of the season. Powell, who entered Sunday 0-of-3 from deep, made all three of his attempts against the Knicks. He isn’t a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues right now. Still, Powell’s name should be filed away in preparation for the “silly season,” especially with the Nets prioritizing getting a good draft pick next spring.

In the two-plus games the Nets have played since losing Cam Thomas to a hamstring injury on November 5, Porter has tallied 32, 28 and 25 points. And while the shot attempts have increased, MPJ has shot 47 percent or better in each of those outings. Whether he can continue to shoot at the clip or not, Porter is in a spot where he can put up massive individual numbers. The lone concern would be Porter losing out on minutes so the youngsters can get additional run, but that should not be an issue in early November. The Nets play three games during Week 4.

Sharpe was on a roll Sunday night, making all three of his field-goal attempts and going 4-of-4 from the foul line. Unfortunately, tightness in his left hamstring ended the Nets’ center’s night with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Brooklyn opens a three-game Week 4 at home against the Raptors on Tuesday, and Sharpe’s injury could mean rotation minutes for Danny Wolf if he misses time. Wolf, one of Brooklyn’s five first-round picks in June, was on assignment with the team’s G League affiliate on Sunday.

After recording one triple-double in the previous three seasons combined, Randle has two in Minnesota’s first nine games of the 2025-26 campaign. He was responsible for seven turnovers on Friday, but this was the first game in which the Timberwolves’ forward had surpassed five. High-turnover nights of this caliber are unlikely to become the norm for Randle, so there’s no need for anyone to be concerned. And Friday’s performance was an indicator of what he’ll be able to do with Anthony Edwards (37 points) back in the lineup and fully healthy.
MIN • Forward • #3

McDaniels has scored 20 points or more in four of Minnesota’s nine games, and he’s off to the best start of his NBA career. The 6-foot-9 wing is averaging 18.3 points per game, which would be the best of his career by more than six points (12.2 ppg last season). And he’s doing this while shooting nearly 54 percent from the field. McDaniels is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and some may be tempted to sell high, especially with Anthony Edwards back from a hamstring injury. However, those two combined for 59 points on Friday, and Julius Randle recorded a triple-double, which may be a sign of McDaniels’ staying power.

Claxton was one of three Nets players to reach double figures in scoring on a night in which the team shot just 42.5 percent from the field. Additionally, he led Brooklyn in rebounding and finished as the only player on the team to record at least one blocked shot and one steal. While his rebounding numbers are slightly down, the seventh-year center is posting career-highs in points and assists per game. His spot in the rotation likely won’t be threatened with the Nets’ current roster construction, leaving him as a potential double-double threat on a nightly basis.

Clowney set a new season-high in points for the third consecutive game on Friday, once again using the three-point shot to do so. A huge 13-point opening quarter set Clowney up for the high-scoring performance, but his six points on 1-of-6 shooting the rest of the way stopped the young forward from seeing an even greater scoring total. Still, he was productive against the Pistons and continues to perform well for the Nets this season.
BKN • Forward • #1

Porter Jr. was the most productive offensive performer for the Nets on Friday. He was the only one to score at least 20 points, and his high production from beyond the arc nearly carried him to hit the 30-point mark. The former NBA champion has scored 60 combined points over the past two games while sinking nine three-pointers. Given the status of the Nets roster, MPJ should remain a high-volume scorer with upside as a rebounder throughout the season.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Edwards looked far sharper than he did in his return from a hamstring injury on Wednesday. Of course, the Jazz aren’t on the same level as the Knicks, but that should not detract from Ant-Man’s exemplary performance. Edwards and the Timberwolves will play once more during Week 3, as they visit the Kings on Sunday.

The Nets will be without Cam Thomas (hamstring) for at least three to four weeks, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Dëmin will fill the void, making his first career start opposite Detroit’s Cade Cunningham. Dëmin is worth rostering as long as Thomas is out and should have solid rest-of-season value for the rebuilding Nets.

Thomas, who exited Wednesday’s win over the Pacers during the first quarter, has been diagnosed with a strained left hamstring. His absence impacts multiple players, most notably Tyrese Martin. Martin played 27 minutes on Wednesday and may be moved into the starting lineup. Rookies Egor Dëmin and Ben Saraf are also potential replacements. Also, Thomas’ absence will result in increased usage for Michael Porter Jr. and Terance Mann, with the former scoring 32 points on Wednesday.

Powell has spent two separate stints on the bench due to injury, having sprained his right ankle twice. The rookie did not impact fantasy basketball in either of his first two games, and that will likely remain the case if he’s cleared to play on Friday.

Randle continued his hot start to the season with an excellent showing in his second game at Madison Square Garden since being traded by the Knicks last September. He’s scored 30 points or more on three of his last four games, with Wednesday being the first in which Randle shared the floor with Anthony Edwards. With Ant-Man back from a strained hamstring, it’s fair to wonder how Randle’s production will be impacted. However, he’s been a top-10 player thus far, and that isn’t only because of what Randle’s done when Edwards hasn’t been available.

Anthony Edwards’ return from a strained hamstring did not impact DiVincenzo much on Wednesday, as he remained in his usual spot in the starting lineup. And the “Big Ragu” did not disappoint, finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. DiVincenzo, who’s rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. Locked into a starting role, he should be rostered in a higher percentage of fantasy leagues.

Back in the Timberwolves’ lineup after missing four games with a strained hamstring, Edwards appeared to be a bit rusty at times. However, that’s understandable, even for a player of his caliber. Edwards recorded a solid overall stat line, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Timberwolves within striking distance in the fourth quarter. Minnesota plays twice more during Week 3, with the second game being part of a Sunday/Monday back-to-back. However, with Ant-Man not restricted on Wednesday, back-to-backs may not be a problem for him.

Claxton was outstanding on Wednesday, helping lead the Nets to their first win of the season after seven consecutive defeats. Over his last four games, the Nets center has averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 blocks while shooting 67.5 percent from the field and 62.5 percent from the foul line. For managers punting free-throw percentage, Claxton has been a top-20 player during this stretch. He’s still rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low.

With Michael Porter Jr. bumping Tyrese Martin out of the starting lineup after missing Monday’s game for personal reasons, Mann was effectively the starting point guard on Wednesday. He played well, shooting just under 50 percent from the field and sharing the team lead in assists with Nic Claxton. For years, Mann has been a player some fantasy managers believed could provide value with the right opportunity. Brooklyn may be it, as he has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mann will be worth a look if Cam Thomas (hamstring) can’t play in Friday’s game against the Pistons.

Every team in the NBA now has at least one victory, with the Nets getting off the schneid on Wednesday. Porter did most of the heavy lifting offensively, as Cam Thomas exited after just six minutes due to injury. As expected, he’s proven to be more valuable to fantasy managers in Brooklyn than he was in Denver. Porter is providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, one round better than his Yahoo! ADP. The Nets play two more games during Week 3, starting with the Pistons on Friday.

The points, rebounds, steals and three-pointers were solid, with Clowney providing some value to the few adventurous souls who streamed him.

There wasn’t much value to be had outside of the points, percentages and three-pointers, but every little bit helps for category league managers.
