Grabs 13 boards in loss Ware amassed six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two blocks across 19 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to Toronto.

Impact Ware logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game, salvaging a quiet night with a team-high 13 rebounds. His role continues to change, seemingly on a nightly basis, making him a hard player to get a read on for fantasy purposes. While he does remain a must-roster player, it is looking like the majority of his value could end being tied to rebounds and blocks only.

Impact After coming off the bench in four straight games, Ware will return to the first unit against Orlando. In 14 starts this season, the second-year center has averaged 12.9 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 26.7 minutes per contest.

Big double-double off bench Ware posted 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Ware turned in a double-double, his ninth in 2025-26, while stuffing the stat sheet. The second-year center's fantasy upside is capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo, though Ware has been very productive with averages of 14.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Scoreless with nine boards Ware finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds and one block over 16 minutes during Monday's 140-123 win over the Clippers.

Impact Ware has cooled off from a production standpoint after being relegated back to the bench, as he averages 12.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.5 blocks in 14 games as a starter, but just 7.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last three games off the bench. With Tyler Herro (ankle) back in the mix, Ware figures to play with the second unit full time, backing up Bam Adebayo, so his fantasy production may largely hinge on whether he starts.

Big night on boards Ware logged 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 18 rebounds and three blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 106-102 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Ware was an absolute force at the rim, resulting in his fifth straight game with 14 or more rebounds. He also bounced back as a rim protector after failing to record a swat Sunday in Philly. Ware has now recorded three straight double-doubles, averaging 20.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over this brief stretch.

Impact Making his second straight start and 13th in 17 games this season, Ware pulled down double-digit rebounds for the eighth straight contest while recording his seventh double-double on the campaign. The second-year center has put a sluggish start to the season behind him, and over that eight-game surge he's averaging 14.5 points, 14.4 boards, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals in 28.0 minutes a contest.
