Stewart missed three games with an ankle injury, but is set to make his return on Friday against the 76ers. The 24-year-old power forward is likely to see a significant workload with Jalen Duren (ankle) out. Paul Reed, who was excellent in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, will likely head back to the bench in favor of Stewart.

Duren will miss a second straight game. Paul Reed started in Detroit’s last game, but with Isaiah Stewart (ankle) available, Reed should end up returning to a reserve role, with Stewart starting next to Ron Holland in the frontcourt.

Sharpe is expected to be back after a one-game absence. Noah Clowney, who has been starting for Brooklyn, saw a bump in minutes and filled the backup center role when Nic Claxton was on the bench. Clowney should still play a large role, but he’ll lose a few minutes with Sharpe expected back.

Duren missed Wednesday’s game, which allowed Paul Reed to enter the starting unit.

This will be a third straight absence for Thompson, which should result in a third straight start for Javonte Green.

With Cade Cunningham (hip) ruled out less than an hour before tipoff, Jenkins was called on to make his first start in 14 appearances as an NBA player. He was up to the task, not only recording a career-high in assists but hitting double digits in that category for the first time. Jenkins only committed three turnovers, stepping up in a big way for the few fantasy managers willing to slot him into their lineups.

With Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart among the seven Pistons ruled out for Wednesday’s game, Reed made his first start since the 2023-24 campaign. And “BBall Paul” made up for lost time, finishing two points and one rebound shy of his career-highs in those categories. Add in the assists and defensive stats, and this was a great night to stream Reed. His fantasy value moving forward depends on the availability of Duren and Stewart, but inexperienced fantasy managers now know to stream Reed when those two are out.

Given how shorthanded the Pistons were on Wednesday, Robinson’s shot volume was bound to increase. What did not change was the types of shots he took, with 10 of the veteran wing’s shots coming from beyond the arc. Robinson made seven, establishing season-highs in points and three-pointers. Over his last three games, he’s shot 14-of-28 from distance, and Robinson has made at least three triples in six of his last seven. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided eighth-round per-game value during this seven-game stretch.

Due to their many absences, the Pistons are rolling out a lineup that has shared the court for a total of zero minutes.

Duren and Cade Cunningham were absent from Pistons shootaround Wednesday morning. The 21-year-old center sprained his ankle in the final minute of Monday’s overtime victory over the Wizards.

Claxton did everything in his power to keep Brooklyn in this one, but it simply wasn’t enough as he reached the 20-point plateau for the first time this season. The 26-year-old big man has been on a roll lately, delivering second-round value for fantasy managers over the past two weeks, averaging 17 points, eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over his last seven contests. The Nets will attempt to get back on track when they face the Magic on Friday night in a road matchup.

The probable tag suggests that Cunningham’s left hip contusion is not severe enough to keep him out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game.

Jenkins turned out to be the big winner from the Pistons missing multiple starters on Monday against the Wizards.

Cunningham simply refused to let the Pistons lose to the Wizards on Monday night. The 24-year-old point guard helped the shorthanded Pistons improve to 9-2 with a 46-point triple-double. Cunningham joined Michael Jordan as the only players ever to have at least 40 points in a triple-double and also record five steals. He put the team on his back while the Pistons deal with a laundry list of injuries. Detroit has two more games this week, the first coming on Wednesday against the Bulls.

Already without Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart, the Pistons won’t have Ausar Thompson for Monday’s game, either.

Holland, who remains in the starting lineup, will also be worthy of deep-league consideration.

Robinson has made multiple three-pointers in eight of his ten games this season, with Sunday’s tally of four matching his previous high. On most nights, he’s essentially a points and three-pointers option for fantasy managers, so there isn’t much value to be had when the shots aren’t falling. However, Robinson recorded three steals against the 76ers, matching his total entering Sunday. Caris LeVert (14 points, three rebounds, one block and four three-pointers) also shot the ball well from deep on Sunday, but he also brings a relatively low fantasy ceiling to the table on most nights.

Duren was a force in the paint on Sunday, leading all players with 16 boards while shooting an impressive percentage from the field. Add in the four “stocks,” and this was another excellent night to have the Pistons center rostered.

He’ll look to continue this hot start on Monday when the Pistons face the rebuilding Wizards.

Powell may not have moved into the starting lineup in the aftermath of Cam Thomas’ hamstring injury, but the rookie has received more playing time to show what he can do. After logging 27 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, Powell played 23 on Sunday and produced his best offensive showing of the season. Powell, who entered Sunday 0-of-3 from deep, made all three of his attempts against the Knicks. He isn’t a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues right now. Still, Powell’s name should be filed away in preparation for the “silly season,” especially with the Nets prioritizing getting a good draft pick next spring.

In the two-plus games the Nets have played since losing Cam Thomas to a hamstring injury on November 5, Porter has tallied 32, 28 and 25 points. And while the shot attempts have increased, MPJ has shot 47 percent or better in each of those outings. Whether he can continue to shoot at the clip or not, Porter is in a spot where he can put up massive individual numbers. The lone concern would be Porter losing out on minutes so the youngsters can get additional run, but that should not be an issue in early November. The Nets play three games during Week 4.

Sharpe was on a roll Sunday night, making all three of his field-goal attempts and going 4-of-4 from the foul line. Unfortunately, tightness in his left hamstring ended the Nets’ center’s night with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Brooklyn opens a three-game Week 4 at home against the Raptors on Tuesday, and Sharpe’s injury could mean rotation minutes for Danny Wolf if he misses time. Wolf, one of Brooklyn’s five first-round picks in June, was on assignment with the team’s G League affiliate on Sunday.

Claxton was one of three Nets players to reach double figures in scoring on a night in which the team shot just 42.5 percent from the field. Additionally, he led Brooklyn in rebounding and finished as the only player on the team to record at least one blocked shot and one steal. While his rebounding numbers are slightly down, the seventh-year center is posting career-highs in points and assists per game. His spot in the rotation likely won’t be threatened with the Nets’ current roster construction, leaving him as a potential double-double threat on a nightly basis.

Clowney set a new season-high in points for the third consecutive game on Friday, once again using the three-point shot to do so. A huge 13-point opening quarter set Clowney up for the high-scoring performance, but his six points on 1-of-6 shooting the rest of the way stopped the young forward from seeing an even greater scoring total. Still, he was productive against the Pistons and continues to perform well for the Nets this season.

Porter Jr. was the most productive offensive performer for the Nets on Friday. He was the only one to score at least 20 points, and his high production from beyond the arc nearly carried him to hit the 30-point mark. The former NBA champion has scored 60 combined points over the past two games while sinking nine three-pointers. Given the status of the Nets roster, MPJ should remain a high-volume scorer with upside as a rebounder throughout the season.

While Claxton did not record his second double-double in as many games, he had his most productive all-around performance on Sunday. After blocking one shot total in Brooklyn’s first five games, he recorded three against the 76ers.

Hopefully, Sunday’s performance is a sign that he’ll be able to do that consistently.
