37 games without Gordon, 26 with him (2025-26 regular season, only games Murray, Jokić and Hardaway played).

With Gordon out, Spencer Jones played 24 minutes a game instead of 13 and put up 17 fantasy points instead of 7 (30 games).

Peyton Watson, who went from 22 to 31 minutes in these games last season, is now with CLE. Newcomer DeMar DeRozan could pick up those minutes: he played about 11 of 24 first-half minutes in 4 preseason games.

Big numbers are per game without him; “was” is with him, counting only games the teammate played. “Shots” is field-goal attempts. Fewer than 5 games is marked as a small sample.

Fantasy points: points + 1.2 per rebound + 1.5 per assist + 3 per steal + 3 per block − 1 per turnover.
