Markkanen logged 47 points (15-33 FG, 6-17 3Pt, 11-13 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 46 minutes during Sunday's 150-147 2OT win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday marked the third straight game in which Markkanen logged a new season high in scoring, this time with 47 points. In addition to his offensive output, Markkanen made an impact defensively, leading the team in blocks and adding two steals. The 28-year-old pro has been on a heater over his last three games, averaging 40.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 39.3 minutes per contest.
Jalen Johnson F ATL Sun 11/16/25 11:31 PM
Jalen Johnson
F ATL
Johnson recorded 25 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 124-122 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson continued his run of stellar play Sunday, leading the team in rebounding while logging his third consecutive game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. The 23-year-old pro has been highly efficient this season, particularly over his last four games, where he is shooting 60.3 percent from the floor. Over that stretch, he is averaging 24.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 2.5 steals in 34.8 minutes per contest.
Franz Wagner F ORL Sun 11/16/25 11:22 PM
Franz Wagner

Wagner finished with 29 points (8-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-13 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner established a season high in scoring Sunday, and it was his 11th time in 14 games to begin the year with at least 20 points. The star forward is taking on additional usage in the absence of Paolo Banchero (groin) and should continue to do so until the latter is ready to rejoin the mix. Wagner is delivering early-round fantasy numbers thus far, averaging 23.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 35.8 minutes per game.
Tristan da Silva F ORL Sun 11/16/25 11:16 PM
Tristan da Silva
F ORL
Da Silva recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 overtime loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Da Silva continued to fill in admirably for Paolo Banchero (groin), supplying a full stat line after scoring a season-high 22 points in Friday's win over the Nets. Until Banchero is ready to return to the lineup, da Silva makes sense as an appealing streaming option in the interim. On the year, da Silva has averaged 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.1 minutes per contest covering 14 outings.
Wendell Carter C ORL Sun 11/16/25 11:12 PM
Wendell Carter

Carter contributed 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 37 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
The four swats are a season high for Carter, who also filled the box score Sunday. The veteran big man has been a solid if unspectacular fantasy option in 2025-26, and he should be rostered in the majority of leagues. Carter has averaged 12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 blocks in 29.9 minutes per contest through 14 games this season, and he's shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

SG/F ATL
Risacher exited Sunday's game against the Suns did not return due to a left hip contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Risacher took a hard fall on a dunk attempt and sustained a left hip injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, causing him to miss the remainder of the game. He concludes the game with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes. If he is forced to miss time, Vit Krejci will likely step into a larger role.
Kevin Durant F HOU Sun 11/16/25 11:07 PM

Durant racked up 35 points (13-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 45 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 overtime win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Durant fell two points shy of a new season high, but he still helped lead the Rockets to a hard-fought victory in overtime. The superstar forward is off to an excellent start with his new squad, posting at least 20 points in 10 of his first 12 games. Durant has averaged 25.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.1 minutes per contest overall, shooting 51.0 percent from the floor.

G HOU
Sheppard registered 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 overtime victory over Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Sheppard has now notched double digits in scoring in six games in a row and seven of his last eight. The second-year guard is back on the rise after a relatively sluggish start to the season, and he warrants consideration in most fantasy formats. Over his last six outings, Sheppard has averaged 15.7 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 25.3 minutes per contest.
Alperen Sengun PF/C HOU Sun 11/16/25 10:59 PM
Alperen Sengun
PF/C HOU
Sengun finished Sunday's 117-113 overtime victory over the Magic with 30 points (11-31 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in 45 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun submitted his eighth double-double of the year, reaching the 30-point threshold for the first time since Opening Night in Oklahoma City as well. The star big man is without a triple-double so far, though he's come one assist shy of doing so on two occasions in 2025-26. Sengun is off to a phenomenal start overall, averaging 23.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 12 games this season.
Yves Missi C NOP Sun 11/16/25 10:54 PM
Yves Missi
C NOP
Missi had eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 124-106 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Missi's playing time is noteworthy -- it was his most minutes logged since the Nov. 2 loss in Oklahoma City. Part of his rise in court time could have been due to the blowout nature of Sunday's contest, but the second-year big man is at least worth keeping tabs on after recently falling out of the rotation. Missi has averaged 5.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 19.1 minutes per contest through eight games this season, shooting 63.3 percent from the floor.
