Davis pulled up lame during the second quarter and was substituted immediately. According to the Mavericks, he has been diagnosed with right groin spasms and will not return. Max Christie replaced Davis in the lineup to begin the third quarter, and Dallas will run a Cooper Flagg-heavy offense as they look to come back.

Washington was a game-time call after missing Tuesday’s win over the Nuggets. His return means that Jaden Hardy will head back to the bench after logging 28 minutes against Denver, eliminating most of his streaming value.

Powell is back after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Nuggets. His absence did not result in another post player entering the rotation, as Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford split the minutes at the center position. Powell’s return may enable Davis to play a few more minutes at power forward, but he’ll get most of his run at the five.

While Williams played 15 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s win over the Nuggets, Christie was held out due to an illness. The latter’s return will likely result in fewer minutes for Caleb Martin, who logged 25 on Tuesday. None are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Washington missed Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets with a knee injury, joining Klay Thompson and Max Christie on the sidelines. With that trio out Tuesday, Caleb Martin played 25 minutes off the bench in the win over the Nuggets. Washington has a chance to return Thursday, which would squeeze Martin for minutes.

Thompson missed Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets with a knee injury. The 35-year-old shooting guard is expected back Thursday against the Warriors given his probable listing. Naji Marshall saw an uptick in usage with Thompson and Max Christie out Tuesday, but won’t have that same setup again Thursday.

Cunningham has dished out at least nine assists in five straight games, and the 14 he recorded on Tuesday were four shy of his season-high. However, there was a negative for those competing in nine-cat formats: turnovers. Cunningham committed a season-high nine against the Kings, and that has been a category that fantasy managers have needed to punt in previous seasons. There’s a one-round difference between Cade’s eight-cat and nine-cat values, with the Pistons point guard being a first-round player in the former.
DET • Forward • #12

For just the fourth time this season and first since December 3, Harris has scored at least 20 points in a game. Tuesday’s final tally was two shy of the veteran forward’s season-high. Given Detroit’s depth, Harris’s fantasy ceiling and floor have taken a hit this season. Over the last two weeks, he’s ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats, which is where his season-long value lies as well. Deep-league managers shouldn’t drop Harris immediately, but taking a swing on a player with higher upside wouldn’t be a bad idea.

For the third time this season, Duren has recorded a double-double in four consecutive games. The physicality he and the other Pistons’ interior players brought proved too much for the Kings to handle on Tuesday, as Detroit extended its lead atop the Eastern Conference to three games in the loss column. Duren has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats this season, and it would be unsurprising if he cracked that threshold at some point and remained there.

It used to be unheard of for AD to play back-to-backs, but this was the third time this season that he did. He played 35 and 36 minutes and had at least 30 points in both. His scoring has been slightly down this season, but more performances like this will help regulate that mark. Availability has been an issue once again this year, but when he plays, he continues to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball.

With P.J. Washington (foot) sidelined, Hardy started for the first time this season. The former second-round pick has been a strong scoring option at times throughout his career and was able to provide a few buckets in this one, but he didn’t end up doing much else in his 28 minutes. If Washington remains out against the Warriors on Christmas Day, and Hardy starts again, he won’t be worth streaming.

Flagg got off to a scorching hot start to this game; he scored 14 points without missing in the first quarter and entered halftime with 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting. He set a new career high for triples in this game; prior to this, Flagg had really struggled to shoot from deep. Over his previous 10 games, Flagg had hit a total of four triples. He came close to recording his first triple-double, and it seems that everything is starting to click for him. Remember, he just turned 19 two days before this game, which was the second leg of a back-to-back. The sky is the limit for him.

The Mavericks are without P.J. Washington for Tuesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. They’ll go small, with Hardy moving into the starting five. While the opportunity is there for him to provide added fantasy value, Hardy is not a must-stream player.

Washington will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, which leaves Dallas thin at forward. The combination of Washington, Klay Thompson (knee) and Max Christie (illness) being sidelined should open up a ton of extra minutes for Caleb Martin and could result in him starting.

Thompson was integral in the Pistons’ victory Monday night. The 22-year-old small forward had 18 points and was a force both on the glass with 12 rebounds and defensively with three steals. The Pistons blew a 21-point fourth quarter lead, but Thompson had a late steal that helped them close the game out anyway.

Cunningham has now scored 15 points or less in two of his last five games. The 24-year-old point guard is averaging just 23.1 points per game in December after averaging 31.6 in November. Cunningham also turned it over five times, which lessened his value in nine-category leagues. He’ll be back on the floor Tuesday against the Kings.

Duren’s 26 points were a game-high in the eight-point win over the Trail Blazers. Detroit led by as much as 21 in the third quarter, but found themselves trailing with under four minutes left in regulation.

As long as Marshall is in the starting lineup, he’s worth rostering in 14-team leagues and some 12-team leagues as well. He didn’t record any defensive stats in Monday’s defeat, but the Mavericks wing has been a top-100 player over the last two weeks. Marshall will look to build on that production when Dallas hosts Denver on Tuesday.

Flagg’s final line was good with one notable exception: free-throw shooting. The rookie missed half of his 10 attempts, a surprising performance given that he was an 82.8 percent shooter from the foul line entering the game. Over the last two weeks, Flagg has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (42). The season-long value remains two rounds lower than his ADP, but he’s headed in the right direction after a slow start.

Thompson came out hot on Monday, making some wonder if a “turn back the clock” performance was in store. Unfortunately, after shooting 7-of-12 from the field in the first half, the veteran wing missed all five of his attempts in the second half. Thompson’s final stat line was good, but Monday served as a reminder both of what he’s capable of and how much more difficult it is for him to sustain that production over the course of a game.

After scoring two points in a December 5 loss to the Thunder, Davis has tallied at least 24 in four of his last five appearances. Monday’s performance was the best of the bunch, with the Mavericks forward/center recording a season-high point total and extending his double-double streak to four games. With Daniel Gafford (three points, five rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes) still limited, all of Davis’ minutes were played at the five on Monday. That’s been the norm recently, and the center position may be where AD is most valuable to fantasy managers, even if he prefers to play the four.

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.

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.

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.
