Cunningham had six points in five minutes before heading to the locker room early in Tuesday’s game against the Wizards. The 24-year-old point guard ended up being ruled out for the rest of the game with back spasms, according to the Pistons. With Cunningham out, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser figure to handle the point guard duties for Detroit.

Mann missed Monday’s game but is expected to return to the lineup against OKC. He started in his last appearance but will likely come off the bench for this one, though his role will likely be limited regardless. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in each of his last two games, with one of those as a starter and one as a reserve.

Traoré is dealing with an eye abrasion, but that shouldn’t keep him from suiting up against OKC. He hasn’t come off the bench in a game since January, but his minutes have dwindled recently. A matchup with this Thunder defense won’t make things easier for the rookie.

While he wasn’t in the starting lineup for Monday’s game, Saraf played more minutes than fellow rookie and starting point guard Nolan Traoré. Saraf played 23 minutes, finishing with a line that included a season-high four steals, while Traoré (four points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) struggled in 16 minutes of action. With Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the season, Saraf and Traoré will have their opportunities to impress.

Claxton returned to the Nets’ lineup on Monday after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the 76ers. While he did record his first double-double since February 9 and 11th of the season, the Nets’ center was limited to 20 minutes. That’s the concern regarding Claxton. If available, his minutes will take a hit, as he’s played 28 minutes or fewer in each of his last nine appearances. Claxton did produce a solid stat line on Monday, but the fantasy upside for the rest of the season is limited.

Cunningham had failed to reach 20 points in two games in a row, but bounced back with this effort in a loss to the Raptors on Sunday. The 24-year-old point guard had nine assists after recording 28 combined in the last two games. Cunningham has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks despite the point-scoring blip. The Pistons have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday.

Traoré sat out Thursday’s loss to the Hawks due to rest, but returned to the starting lineup Saturday. The 19-year-old guard had just six points in 17 minutes as well as three assists and five turnovers. Traoré was 2-of-10 from the field with his only made baskets coming on three-pointers. He’s not worth rostering in redraft leagues yet, but is a player to watch in dynasty formats.

Minott was coming off an excellent game in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks, when he had 24 points, four three-pointers, three steals and three blocks. The 23-year-old small forward wasn’t able to re-create that magic Saturday against the 76ers as he had 14 points on 12 field goal attempts, three three-pointers and one block. While Minott has played at least 20 minutes in three consecutive games, his minutes haven’t been consistent enough to warrant adding in most fantasy leagues.

After recording 13 assists in Thursday’s win over the Nets, Cunningham was even better against the Grizzlies. The Pistons’ star point guard racked up 15 helpers on Friday, the second time in three games that he’s hit that number. Cunningham also brought more to the table as a scorer, getting into double figures after scoring eight points on Thursday. He’ll likely run into greater resistance when the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Duren was dominant on Friday, an unsurprising development, given the Grizzlies’ lack of interior depth and size. The Pistons center made 80 percent of his shot attempts, and the double-double was his 33rd of the season and second in as many nights.

Minott had strong stretch with the Celtics earlier this season, but he hasn’t done much with his minutes since he was traded to Brooklyn. However, he shined in this game with a well-rounded, productive stat line. Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) was sidelined for this game, which may have led to Minott taking on a few extra minutes.

Seven Pistons finished Thursday’s 131-107 victory in double figures, with the reserves getting a little more playing time due to the game getting out of hand. However, Green didn’t need “garbage time” to have one of his most productive games of the season. The 17 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 5 blowout of the Knicks, and he scored eight in the third quarter. Friday’s game against the Grizzlies may be another opportunity for Green to put up solid numbers against a shorthanded opponent.

The Pistons were able to pull away from the 76ers in the third quarter, despite Cunningham having a limited impact as a scorer. The All-Star guard attempted just six shots in the night, a season-low, with this being the second time he’s failed to put up at least ten. The good news is that Cunningham recorded 13 assists, the fifth time in the last six games that he’s dished out ten or more.

Duren found himself in early foul trouble on Thursday, and that, combined with the blowout, conspired to limit the Pistons’ center to 15 minutes.

With the Pistons hosting the Grizzlies on Friday, that’s another game where Duren’s playing time could be limited due to the competition.

Given how banged-up the 76ers were entering Thursday’s game, this was an opportunity for some of the Pistons’ unheralded options to put up better numbers than usual. Robinson’s 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over a month, and he last made five triples in a February 21 win over the Bulls. Robinson’s four assists were a nice bonus, but he remains a three-point specialist in fantasy leagues.

With no Cade Cunningham (quad) or Ausar Thompson (ankle), the Pistons called on Jenkins and Marcus Sasser to start against the Nets. The former had an opportunity to tie the game in the Pistons’ penultimate possession, but his shot was short of the mark.

As for Sasser, he accounted for eight points, three rebounds, four assists, five steals and two three-pointers.
