Holland is dealing with a sore left knee. Detroit’s depth has limited the second-year wing’s fantasy value, and that also means they don’t lack options if he can’t play.

Brown did not play in Saturday’s win over the Raptors, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Sam Merrill. However, Payton Pritchard benefited the most from Brown’s absence, as he dropped 33 points. Hauser would remain in the starting lineup if Brown can’t return on Monday.

Robinson had a nice game after being listed on the injury report with a knee issue. The 31-year-old small forward had 15 points and four three-pointers in 25 minutes in the win over the Hornets. Robinson continues to have a solid season with the Pistons and the knee injury doesn’t appear to be a lingering issue.

Duren has now recorded back-to-back double-doubles after failing to record at least 10 rebounds in four of the five games before that. The 22-year-old center scored 19 points in 25 minutes and got to rest with the Pistons up big late. Detroit has four games in Week 10, starting with a contest against the Trail Blazers Monday.

Cunningham was just one assist away from a triple-double in Thursday’s game against the Mavericks, but he was able to get the job done with his 14th triple-double of his career and third this year Saturday. Cade is averaging 28 points per game, 8 rebounds per game and 10 assists per game over his last three games. He only had two turnovers against the Hornets, which is important in nine-category leagues. The Pistons have four games in Week 10, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Pritchard shouldered the loin share of the scoring workload with franchise cornerstone Jaylen Brown sitting out due to illness, hoisting a team-high 24 shots and knocking down 4-of-9 from three-point range. The 27-year-old sharpshooter eclipsed the 30-point plateau for the first time since going off for a season-high 42 points back on November 30. He’s averaging 16 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists over the past two weeks, delivering sixth-round fantasy value during that span. The Celtics are back in action on Monday when they host the floundering Pacers.

González remains a work in progress on the offensive end of the floor, but he’s showed that he can defend at a near-elite level in spurts off the bench as a 19-year-old rookie. He got hot in this one, pulling down a season-high 10 rebounds to notch his first career double-double. He’s experienced a significant uptick in minutes recently, playing at least 15 minutes in six of Boston’s last eight contests since December 2. He doesn’t offer enough scoring potential to merit consideration outside of extremely deep leagues but he’s certainly a player on the rise to monitor over the next few months.

No surprise here as Brown was initially listed as doubtful with an illness. In the 29-year-old small forward’s absence, Sam Hauser is the primary beneficiary for fantasy purposes. Josh Minott and Baylor Scheierman could also see extra minutes off the bench.

Brown’s unreal stretch continued in this game. This was the sixth straight game he has scored at least 30 points, and the only time he failed to score 30 points over his last 10 outings was when he recorded a triple-double. Brown’s performance in this game helped Boston end a two-game slide. They’ll wrap the week up in Toronto on Saturday, and a win would move them into third place in the East.

González was one of a few players that were productive off the bench for Boston in this game. Sam Hauser added 15 points on five triples, and Anfernee Simons scored 14 points. However, González was able to make a larger impact on the defensive end while scoring in double figures for the second time in his career and setting a new career high for rebounds. The rookie has been a solid reserve for Boston lately and is an intriguing piece in dynasty leagues.

What a phenomenal outing it was for White. After scoring a season-high 31 points on Monday, he surpassed that mark in this one to set a new season high for scoring. He also matched his career high for triples and provided blocks from the guard position like only he can. White has been on a tear after a slow shooting start to the season, and he has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the past few weeks.

One day after picking up additional minutes due to Duncan Robinson’s premature exit, LeVert is dealing with a sore right knee. Robinson is listed as probable for Saturday’s game, so LeVert’s availability won’t significantly affect fantasy basketball.

Hauser left Monday’s loss to the Pistons with a left ankle sprain in the first half. The 28-year-old small forward was listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Heat so it’s no surprise that he’s ultimately available. Luckily for Hauser, the injury wasn’t serious.

Robinson was limited to 13 minutes in Thursday’s overtime defeat, as he limped off the court less than a minute into the third quarter after suffering an apparent left knee injury. While he did not shoot the ball well in Dallas, scoring two points on 1-of-7 shooting, Robinson’s perimeter shooting ability has been an essential factor in the Pistons’ 21-6 start. Caris LeVert replaced him at the time of the injury; he and Jaden Ivey are the players most likely to be asked to pick up the slack if Robinson misses time.

Cunningham was just one assist shy of a triple-double in the overtime loss to the Mavericks on Thursday.

Cunningham had another four turnovers in this game and remains more valuable in eight-category leagues.

Pritchard has struggled with his shot since the calendar flipped to December. Counting Monday’s 5-of-14 performance, he’s shooting 37.9 percent from the field in six games. The good news for fantasy managers is that Pritchard has provided solid value in rebounds and assists, allowing him to hold onto top-150 value in eight-cat formats in December. Pritchard’s season-long value places him just outside the top-100, well below his Yahoo! ADP (67).

After scoring 33 points in the first quarter, the Celtics were limited to 24 in each of the final three periods. That was the difference, even with White getting hot and shooting 5-of-8 from the field in the fourth quarter. The 31 points were a season-high for the Celtics guard, who last hit the 30-point mark in a December 4 win over the Wizards. While Jaylen Brown does more scoring, White remains the superior option in category leagues, especially those that factor in turnovers.

Aside from his foul shooting, fantasy managers who have Brown rostered don’t have anything to complain about regarding his performance on Monday. He’s scored at least 30 points in five straight games, his most productive scoring run of the season. Remove the turnovers, of which Brown had four against the Pistons, and he’s approaching top-25 value in eight-cat formats. As long as the Celtics are without Jayson Tatum, there’s a high likelihood that Brown will keep producing gaudy stat lines.

While he hasn’t missed a game since making his season debut on November 22, Ivey notched an important achievement on Monday. For the first time this season, the Pistons guard played at least 20 minutes in a game, logging 21. Ivey’s stat line was only missing a blocked shot, and the overall production was solid, aside from the field-goal percentage. A return to the starting lineup may not be in the cards for Ivey anytime soon, but he’s capable of providing solid value once he gets to 25 minutes per game.

Harris didn’t finish Monday’s victory with the most prolific stat line, but he was the only other Pistons starter to join Cade Cunningham in double figures. Over the past two weeks, the veteran forward’s fantasy value has slipped, a byproduct of limited defensive production and Harris shooting 40.9 percent from the field. While he has shown himself capable of providing excellent fantasy value in the past, Detroit’s depth limits Harris’ ceiling, and his floor may also take a hit.

At times, the fourth quarter of Monday’s game felt like a duel between Cunningham and Boston’s Derrick White, with both knocking down critical shots in crunch time. Alas, “The MotorCade” came out on top, helping push the Pistons to a conference-best 21-5 record. Cunningham’s double-double was his 13th of the season, and he’s scored at least 30 points in eight of the 23 games he’s played. In seasons past, Cade has been far more valuable in eight-cat formats and turnover-punt builds. But he’s closed the gap, which is why he’s been so much more beneficial to fantasy managers this season, regardless of league format.

Hauser, who missed his lone shot attempt and did not record any other statistics, headed to the locker room immediately after spraining his left ankle. The Celtics announced that the forward was questionable to return, but he never did. Hugo González (five points, five rebounds and one three-pointer in 16 minutes) and Baylor Scheierman (one assist in 15 minutes) picked up a few additional minutes in Hauser’s absence, with Jordan Walsh’s (eight points, six rebounds, two steals and one three-pointer in 18 minutes) foul trouble also impacting their playing time.

Robinson bounced back from a less-productive seven-point outing against the Bucks by draining four three-pointers and finishing as one of Detroit’s top scorers in the blowout victory. He was one of eight Pistons to score in double figures, and accounted for one quarter of Detroit’s three-point production as a team. Robinson has started in all games he’s appeared in during his first season with the Pistons. He continues to help the team offensively.

Tobias Harris’ return from injury sent Stewart back to Detroit’s second unit, but that didn’t stop the sixth-year center from putting up good fantasy numbers. Off the bench, he logged 21 minutes and shot efficiently en route to finishing as the Pistons’ scoring leader. He also tallied a season-high in assists along the way and put together a second consecutive strong fantasy performance. Stewart will remain in a reserve role as long as Detroit’s roster is healthy. He likely isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues unless injuries lead him to start and consistently log heavy minutes.

Cunningham’s fantasy production was limited due to a one-sided contest on Friday between the Pistons and Hawks. Detroit led in this one by as many as 35 points, thus holding the former No. 1 overall pick to 23 minutes of game action. Friday marked the third time in the last five games that Cunningham finished with fewer than 20 points, which had happened only once previously this season. The Pistons will face the Celtics on Monday, which is the next time Cunningham will have a chance to put forth fantasy numbers that more closely align with the dominant ones he’s tallied so far this season.

Brown has now had exactly 30 points in three consecutive games. Boston had won six of its last seven games before losing to the Bucks 116-101 on Wednesday. Brown wasn’t blameless in the loss as he had four turnovers and was -15 in 29 minutes. Still, he was the Celtics’ leading scorer and will continue to operate as the top scoring option with Jayson Tatum sidelined.
