Wade will miss a third consecutive game as he recovers from a left knee contusion. Sam Merrill started Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves and played 26 minutes. Wade’s absence also affects Jaylon Tyson, whose playing time will be even more secure.

On a night where the Pistons were without Cade Cunningham (wrist), Isaiah Stewart (illness), Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip), Robinson went off for a season-high 20 first-half points, going 5-of-6 from three-point range to help Detroit open a 19-point lead at the break. Amazingly, he failed to score in the final two quarters, attempting just one shot during that span. The 31-year-old sharpshooter looked like he was on the verge of challenging his previous career-high mark of 34 points in the early stages of this one, but the Clippers put the clamps on him down the home stretch. The Eastern Conference-leading Pistons are off until Thursday when they host the Suns before closing out the week with a favorable matchup against the Pacers.

The Pistons saw a 19-point lead evaporate in the second half with Holland doing his best to keep them afloat, scoring a team-high nine points in the final two quarters. The 20-year-old lottery pick has seen a significant uptick in minutes due to Detroit’s recent injury issues, recording at least 24 minutes in three straight contests. He also matched a season-high with 15 shot attempts in this one. His fantasy appeal is strictly limited to deeper mixed leagues at this stage of his development, but the building blocks for a scoring and rebound dual threat are clearly there.

The Pistons won’t have multiple players for Saturday’s game, including Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart. As a result, Ivey will make another start at point guard, while Green slides into the lineup to replace Stewart. Reed is the starting center, and the opportunity makes him a worthwhile streamer.

Added to the Pistons’ injury report on Saturday morning, Stewart’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Paul Reed, who started alongside Beef Stew in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, will have solid streaming upside since Jalen Duren (ankle) is also out.

Cunningham will miss a second consecutive game with a right wrist contusion. Jaden Ivey started Wednesday’s win over the Bulls but only played 20 minutes, with Daniss Jenkins logging 28 off the bench. That split makes Jenkins the superior streaming option, but both are risky plays for fantasy managers.

Tyson has been productive for most of the season, but the last few games prior to this one had been rough. However, he was able to get back on track in this one by scoring at least 20 points for the fifth straight game. He had scored a total of 21 points across his four previous games, but he has largely been a consistent producer this season. This could kickstart a strong stretch for him, but he remains a risky option since the Cavs are healthier than they’ve been for much of the season.

Though he didn’t contribute as much on the glass as he typically does, Mobley was able to pour in the points. This was his highest scoring performance since November. Still, his fantasy impact has been limited recently by a lack of rebounds. He has a total of 18 rebounds over his last four games, which is well below his season average of 8.6 boards per game. He had at least 10 rebounds in the two games prior to this stretch, and he’ll look to get back on track against the Jazz on Monday.

Merrill slid back into the starting lineup for this game, replacing Craig Porter Jr. with the opening group. He took advantage of the opportunity, with this being his fourth straight game with at least five three-pointers. He has been on fire lately, having shot at least 50 percent from the floor in each of those. Managers should ride the hot hand with Merrill and stream him in as long as he’s hitting shots.

It has been a rough season overall for Garland, but he has had some incredibly efficient performances lately. This was the second time in his last three games that he scored at least 20 points and six assists while shooting better than 60 percent from the floor and not turning the ball over. Garland hasn’t played to his sixth round ADP, but he is more than capable of producing to that level for the rest of the season.

Craig Porter Jr. will come off the bench after starting on Thursday. Merrill will take his spot after playing 31 minutes in the Cavs’ last game, while Porter only played 15. Merrill will play a similar role, but he’ll be playing alongside the starters.

Stewart is a late addition to the injury report, which isn’t uncommon when illnesses pop up. He’s been starting with Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined, but if Stewart is out as well, Paul Reed would likely step in as the starting center and have tons of upside as a streamer.

Cunningham did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, which moved Jaden Ivey into the starting lineup. However, Ivey only played 20 minutes despite no longer being under a minutes restriction. Daniss Jenkins played 28 minutes off the bench and dished out a career-high 15 assists.

Mobley’s near-20-point effort on efficient shooting was the highlight of the night for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. He added in a trio of threes for the seventh time this season, as well. Yet he was unspectacular on the glass and finished with just one stock. Mobley has certainly had better days — he’ll have a chance to put up better numbers on Saturday against this same Timberwolves team.

Merrill started and closed Thursday’s games in a similar way, scoring 11 points in both the first and fourth quarters, with three-point production being key. The sharp-shooting guard’s production in between those two periods was also similar, as he went scoreless in the middle two quarters. As a result, Merrill ended with 22 points and five threes. He didn’t make major contributions elsewhere in this game; however, he’s now scored 15 or more points and made at least four three-pointers in four consecutive games.

After a one-game absence, Mitchell returned to the floor on Thursday and added to his streak of 30-point games, which now sits at four. Efficient shooting helped lead him to a team-high in points, with most of his scoring production coming in a 19-point second half. Mitchell also tied a season-high in assists in his effort to give the Cavs a second straight win. A flurry from the T’Wolves in the third quarter ultimately swung the game in their favor, leaving Mitchell’s production wasted in a loss. Both he and the Cavs will have a chance to avenge their loss on Saturday at home against the same Timberwolves.

Mitchell is back after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Pacers, but that isn’t the only change to the Cavaliers’ starting lineup.

While Jaden Ivey was the pick to replace the injured Cade Cunningham in the Pistons’ lineup, the star guard’s absence also boosted Jenkins’ value in the short term. The second-year guard did not shoot the ball well, but he did rack up a career-high 15 assists. Jenkins, who is still on a two-way deal, has a limited long-term fantasy ceiling for that reason and Detroit’s perimeter depth. However, one can argue that he’s played well enough to deserve a standard deal, whether it’s in Detroit or elsewhere.

Cade Cunningham’s absence led to Ivey making his first start since he suffered a fractured fibula during a January 1, 2025, game against the Magic. He’s still on a minutes restriction, so the Pistons’ guard was unable to take full advantage of the opportunity. But Ivey did dish out four assists, with only Paul Reed (9/6/6/1 with one three-pointer) having more among the Pistons starters. Ivey still isn’t at the point where he should be rostered in most redraft leagues, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

With Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren out, Stewart’s fantasy value has received a boost recently. However, with Cade Cunningham also out on Wednesday, few envisioned Beef Stew putting on the performance that he did against the Bulls. He only missed three of his 17 shot attempts, finishing with his first 30-point game as a pro. Stewart only grabbed three rebounds, but the points, field-goal percentage and “stocks” more than compensate for that “deficiency.” Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Stewart has offered sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week.

Garland scored 18 of his 29 points in the second half, putting the Cavaliers on his back with Donovan Mitchell, who went off for 75 points combined in the previous two contests against the Pacers earlier this season, getting the night off for load management purposes. The 25-year-old point guard drilled a clutch pullup jumper in the final seconds to give Cleveland a commanding three-point advantage following a late rally from Indiana. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to take 20-plus shots with Mitchell back in the mix but he’s capable of carrying the Cavaliers when he’s out of the lineup.

Allen put together a monster double-double effort in his return to Cleveland’s lineup after missing Sunday’s loss to the Pistons due to illness. The 27-year-old big man came up just shy of his sixth 20-point performance of the season as he played a season-high 33 minutes against Indiana’s lackluster frontcourt.

The Pistons did not have Tobias Harris or Jalen Duren for Sunday’s game, so Reed joined Isaiah Stewart in the starting lineup. “BBall Paul” wasn’t a prolific scorer, but the rebounds and assists will be helpful to the few who streamed him.

He remains the superior option for fantasy managers while Harris and Duren remain out.

For the first time in four games, Thompson managed to crack double figures in the points category. And he’s been a disappointment in fantasy basketball thus far, sitting well outside the top-150 in eight-cat per-game value. For a player who many fantasy managers were banking on for top-100 value, the season has reached an uncomfortable point.

As for managers in nine-cat formats, Cunningham’s value takes a slight hit because of that category.
