Robinson will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, which should mean Daniss Jenkins remains in the starting lineup. While his ceiling as a scorer is limited playing alongside Cade Cunningham, Jenkins can be helpful to managers needing rebounds and assists when allowed to start.

White continues to provide consistent fantasy value. While he may not offer an extremely high ceiling, the veteran guard’s floor is excellent. In nine-cat formats, he’s providing third-round value, sitting just outside the top-30. Against the Knicks, White recorded a complete stat line after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Payton Pritchard (10/4/3/1 with one three-pointer) took a hit production-wise with White back in the lineup, but that was to be expected after his outstanding performance in Cleveland.

One game removed from recording his first triple-double of the season, Brown dropped a season-high 42 points on Tuesday. Boston trailed by as much as 14 during the first quarter but, thanks in part to Brown, would lead by as many as 21 points before holding on for the win. Brown’s eight-cat fantasy value has aligned with his Yahoo! ADP, as he’s providing third-round value. The lone issue on Tuesday was the turnover count: Brown committed four, but the overall production compensated for it.

Robinson missed a game for the first time this season on Monday, which opened the door for Daniss Jenkins to start in his place. Jenkins had a rough shooting night, but he was able to supply eight rebounds and six assists and has generally been a reliable streamer when he starts this year. If Robinson remains out, Jenkins will be worth streaming.

After a one-game absence due to a left leg contusion, Duren was back in the lineup and made his presence felt immediately. He was Detroit’s leading rebounder and helped the Pistons dominate the glass; they won the rebounding matchup 60-34. Duren has a double-double in four straight games and will look to keep that going against the Bucks on Wednesday.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) sidelined for the first time this season, Jenkins was able to get the starting nod. He was able to provide rebounds and assists, but it was a rough shooting night for him. He missed all eight of his shots from deep and both of his free throws. Jenkins has typically been productive as a starter, so this performance shouldn’t make anyone shy away from him as a streamer next time he gets to start.

Cunningham wasn’t able to have his typical dominant scoring night, but he got the job done late with a pair of clutch buckets with less than a minute left to turn a tied game in to a four-point lead for Detroit. His scoring output was underwhelming for fantasy managers, but the rest of his night wasn’t. He set a new career high for steals and had more “stocks” than he’s ever had in a single game. It was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to stay hot in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) missing a game for the first time this season, Jenkins will return to the starting lineup. Jenkins was elite as a starter in place of Cunningham earlier this year, and while he won’t see the same boost as a fill-in for Robinson, he should still be worth streaming. Duren’s return also pushes Isaiah Stewart back to the bench.

LeVert is good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. With Duncan Robinson (ankle) inactive, there may be a few more minutes available to LeVert.

Initially probable for Monday’s game after missing Saturday’s win over the Heat, Duren is officially good to go.

Stewart is worth holding onto in deeper leagues, as he will still have a prominent role in the rotation.

Queta missed Sunday’s game, which was the second of a back-to-back. That allowed Xavier Tillman to slide into the starting lineup, where he was relatively unproductive in 30 minutes of action.

Pritchard stepped up to carry Boston on the second night of a back-to-back with Derrick White (calf) sidelined, eclipsing the lofty 40-point mark for the first time this season. He came out of the gate firing, scoring eight points in the first two minutes, and finished the half with a game-high 18 points. He finished 6-of-11 from beyond the arc and shot a blistering 68 percent overall. His biggest moment came in the final minute when he buried a turnaround jumper in the lane to give Boston a five-point cushion, later sealing the win with a pair of free throws in the closing seconds. The Celtics open a four-game week Tuesday against the Knicks before matchups with the Wizards, Lakers and Raptors.

Brown wasn’t as impactful from a scoring standpoint on the second night of a back-to-back following a 41-point outburst during Saturday’s narrow loss to the Timberwolves, but he still found a way to make an all-around impact in this one. He deferred to a red-hot Payton Pritchard throughout the night and recorded the fourth triple-double of his career by stepping up as a rebounder and facilitator. He also got to the free throw line for a whopping 16 attempts. He’s delivered second-round value from a fantasy standpoint over the past three games, averaging 31 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and one block during that span.

Walsh saw a massive uptick in minutes with both Derrick White (calf) and Neemias Queta (ankle) sitting out the tail-end of a back-to-back and delivered the most impressive all-around performance of his career.

With Jalen Duren (leg) unavailable, Isaiah Stewart served as the starting center in Miami. However, while Beef Stew (9/8/1/0/1 in 29 minutes) was solid in his time on the floor, Duren’s absence opened things up for Reed as well. “BBall Paul” recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first occurring in a November 12 win over the Bulls. Unlike Stewart, who can provide tangible fantasy value when Duren is playing, Reed needs an absence to become viable. He should only be added if Duren misses more time. Detroit opens a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Hawks.

A double-digit scorer in all five games he’s played since returning from a sprained ankle, Harris had his best night of the season in Miami. He recorded his second 20-point game, exceeding his previous high of 23 (October 29 vs. Orlando). Harris remains outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, but that’s due mainly to the sprained ankle and time that he missed. He isn’t a prolific fantasy option, but Tobias will provide reliable value when available. The Pistons play four games during Week 7.

For the first time since being traded to Detroit during the offseason, Robinson played against the Heat in Miami on Saturday. And he played well, scoring 18 points, the most he’s had in a game in over two weeks. Robinson has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats this season, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (141). With Jaden Ivey (9/2/1 with one three-pointer) still under a minutes restriction, playing time won’t be an issue for Robinson for the time being, preserving his fantasy value.

While Cunningham had another high-turnover night, committing eight, he continued to make big plays down the stretch. The Pistons’ point guard leads the NBA in fourth-quarter points, and while he only made two shots in the fourth on Saturday, Cade’s jumper with 20.2 seconds remaining gave Detroit a four-point lead. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long value. The Pistons play four games in Week 7, starting with the Hawks on Monday.

Brown won the battle but lost the war. He was able to outscore Anthony Edwards 41-39, but the Celtics ended up coming up short on the scoreboard. Brown matched his season high for scoring, which allowed him to exceed 30 points for a third straight game. He also set a new career high for steals. This was arguably Brown’s best game of the season, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Cavaliers on Sunday, which will be the second night of a back-to-back.

Hauser hasn’t been able to provide much consistent value this season, but he has been solid lately, having hit four triples in two of his last three appearances.

Queta missed Wednesday’s game against Detroit, which allowed Luka Garza to start in his place. Garza only played five minutes off the bench in this one, while Queta logged 29 minutes. That was enough time for Queta to set a new career-high for rebounds. This was his fourth double-double this year, and in his first season as a full-time starter, Queta has been a top-100 player in nine-category scoring. He will continue to be a must-roster player for the rest of the season.

Duren now has 11 double-doubles this season, including one in each of his last three appearances. The Pistons center finished Friday’s close defeat with a complete line, minus the three-pointers, and his four blocks were a season-high. In fact, this was the first time Duren had recorded at least three blocks in a game this season. Up to 18 blocks in 17 games, Duren has the potential to be an even better fantasy option than he’s been. Hopefully, the athleticism will translate into defensive production more than it has so far.

Harris’ 18 points are the most he’s scored in a game since returning from a sprained ankle, matching his tally in Detroit’s November 22 win over the Bucks. He had another efficient night on Friday, shooting over 50 percent from the field, while doing a good job on the glass. At this stage in his career, Harris isn’t going to “wow” fantasy managers, but he will provide consistent value.

Cunningham finished Friday’s 112-109 defeat with his second triple-double of the season. However, unlike the line he recorded in Detroit’s November 10 win over the Wizards, turnovers were an issue on Friday. Cunningham finished with a season-high eight, and there weren’t any defensive stats on the line, either. While he has been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, that’s with an average of 4.4 turnovers per game. In eight-cat, Cunningham has been a top-10 player during that stretch. While he is susceptible to the high-turnover night, the overall production compensates for that.

After shooting 1-of-8 from deep in Monday’s win over the Pacers, Robinson was slightly better in Wednesday’s loss to Boston. After an uneven start to the season, he’s meshed well in Detroit, hitting double figures in points in seven of his last eight appearances. The lingering question for Robinson is whether he’ll remain in the starting lineup once Jaden Ivey (7/4/0/1) is no longer under a minutes restriction. Ivey played 15 minutes off the bench, the second time he’s reached that number in three appearances.

Duren did not have a great night shooting the basketball, and he failed to record any defensive stats. However, he did grab a game-high 16 rebounds, the fifth time this season he’s grabbed at least 15. Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 56, Duren has exceeded expectations, as he’s been a top-40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given his skill set, expecting Duren to maintain that production level is not unrealistic.

White didn’t do much during the first half, scoring just two points on 0-of-3 shooting from the field. He did whatever needed to be done at the halftime break, because the Celtics guard was far more assertive on offense. White scored 25 second-half points, shooting 7-of-10 from the field. Despite the many roster changes over the offseason, White’s scoring has decreased. Of course, he’s more of a focal point for opposing defenses this season, and that also impacts White’s ability to put up points. The good news is that he’s still providing top-50 value, as testament to his all-around skill set.

That production helped keep the Celtics within striking distance, especially with Derrick White scoring two points. However, White got going after halftime, and Scheierman only attempted one shot in the second half. The second-year guard is capable of providing offensive value, but it hasn’t happened consistently. There’s no need to roster Scheierman in redraft leagues.

Brown recorded a robust stat line in the Celtics’ three-point victory, but the efficiency was lacking for managers who require more in that regard. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, the Celtics wing was responsible for a game-high six turnovers. That category is why Brown is ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats, as he’s averaging 3.8 turnovers per game. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out and the Celtics’ rotation being far more dependent upon Brown, the turnovers aren’t a surprise. As long as he does the other things well, as was the case on Wednesday, there shouldn’t be too much concern over the occasional inefficient night.

Brown eclipsed the 30-point plateau for the eighth time this season, pouring in 21 of them after halftime as Boston shot over 60 percent and hung a season-high 138 points on a depleted Orlando squad playing the back end of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone buried a pair of threes and added two late layups to fend off a surprising late push from Orlando’s second unit. The Celtics led by as many as 26 before the Magic trimmed it all the way down to six in the final minute. The Celtics are off until Wednesday when they kick off a three-game week against the Pistons before facing the powerhouse Timberwolves and Cavaliers.
