One day after picking up additional minutes due to Duncan Robinson’s premature exit, LeVert is dealing with a sore right knee. Robinson is listed as probable for Saturday’s game, so LeVert’s availability won’t significantly affect fantasy basketball. Ron Holland II may pick up additional minutes if Caris sits, but he hasn’t been consistently productive.

Robinson exited Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks during the third quarter with a left knee contusion. Caris LeVert picked up additional minutes in Robinson’s absence. Still, he’s unlikely to receive a notable boost to his fantasy value with the starting wing considered probable to play on Saturday.

No surprise here after Young returned from a knee injury and played 20 minutes against the Hornets on Thursday. The Hawks will give the 27-year-old point guard the night off for right knee injury management reasons rather than put him back on the floor for the second game of a back-to-back. Young’s next chance to play will come Sunday against the Bulls. Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson will have more playmaking responsibilities in his absence Friday.

Robinson was limited to 13 minutes in Thursday’s overtime defeat, as he limped off the court less than a minute into the third quarter after suffering an apparent left knee injury. While he did not shoot the ball well in Dallas, scoring two points on 1-of-7 shooting, Robinson’s perimeter shooting ability has been an essential factor in the Pistons’ 21-6 start. Caris LeVert replaced him at the time of the injury; he and Jaden Ivey are the players most likely to be asked to pick up the slack if Robinson misses time.

Cunningham was just one assist shy of a triple-double in the overtime loss to the Mavericks on Thursday. The 24-year-old point guard was dueling with Cooper Flagg down the stretch and in to overtime, but the Pistons couldn’t pick up the victory. Cunningham had another four turnovers in this game and remains more valuable in eight-category leagues.

Johnson’s 43 points were a career-high. Just as impressive as the 43 points alone is that Johnson also had 11 rebounds and nine assists, falling just shy of a triple-double. The 24-year-old small forward is turning into a superstar. His usage wasn’t impacted by Trae Young’s return as Young played only 20 minutes.

Young was understandably a little rusty in his first game action since October 29. The 27-year-old point guard’s shooting was just a little off as he went 3-of-8 from the field including 0-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Young’s playmaking ability was still apparent as he dished out 10 assists. He played 20 minutes, though that will increase in future games. The Hawks play the Spurs on Friday and the Bulls on Sunday, giving Young multiple chances to see his minutes increase this week.

Youn will be back on the court for the first time since October 29, and he’ll surely face a minutes restriction after such a long layoff. Young’s return may cut into the production of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, but NAW is a hold until Young ramps back up. Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson could see their touches and usage drop as well.

Recalled from the Hawks’ G League affiliate on Wednesday morning, Young’s status for Thursday night has been upgraded. His availability affects multiple players, starting with Nickeil Alexander-Walker. While there will come a point when he returns to a reserve role, NAW will play enough to merit being rostered in standard leagues. Also, Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels will likely see their respective usage rates decrease once Young is a full go.

Young was assigned to the G League for a practice on Tuesday and has now been recalled to Atlanta, with the team set to practice on Wednesday. If Young’s knee responds well to a practice with the team, he could certainly make a return this weekend. They have a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday, so he’d likely only play in one of those games if he’s made available by then. If not, they host the Bulls on Sunday. Young may have his minutes limited in his first game back, but he has never come off the bench in his career, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to a reserve role when the time comes. However, NAW saw plenty of usage early on before Young’s injury, so having Trae back in the lineup shouldn’t decimate his value. However, NAW, Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson will all take a slight usage hit when last season’s assists leader returns.

Young has been sidelined since October, and the expectation is that he will return this month. This move lines up with that and could indicate that Young is getting close to returning. Depending on how he responds to practicing with Atlanta’s G League affiliate, he could be back with the Hawks this weekend. They play on Thursday, Friday and Sunday this week, and there isn’t a clear target date at this point, but there is certainly a chance. When he returns, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to a reserve role when Young returns.

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. A return to the starting lineup may not be in the cards for Ivey anytime soon, but he’s capable of providing solid value once he gets to 25 minutes per game.

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.

While Krejčí’s production has not been consistent enough to make him a factor in fantasy basketball, he’s had his moments. The 19 points scored on Sunday were the most in a game for Krejčí since November 22, when he dropped 21 on the Pelicans. Rostered in five percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been close to a top-100 player over the past two weeks. However, with Trae Young (knee) returning to practice next week and the Hawks being off until Thursday, there’s no need to add Krejčí following his showing against the 76ers.

With his most recent triple-double, Johnson made history on Sunday. He’s now up to eight in his career, passing Mookie Blaylock (seven) for the most in franchise history. Also, Johnson’s streak of four straight triple-doubles ties him with Denver’s Nikola Jokić for the longest current run in the NBA. While there is some fear that Trae Young’s eventual return from a knee injury may lower Johnson’s ceiling, fantasy managers should not panic. The Hawks play three games in Week 9, starting with Charlotte on Thursday.

For the first time this season, Daniels has recorded a double-double in consecutive games. And in what was his most productive night of the season, the defensive ace notched a season-high point total while shooting well over 50 percent from the field. The question for Daniels is his ability to produce consistent offense when Trae Young (knee) is available, as the point guard is expected to resume practicing sometime next week. He’ll need to if he’s to get closer to his Yahoo! ADP of 38.

While Okongwu finished Sunday’s victory with his sixth double-double of the season and first since November 30, his field-goal percentage left something to be desired. The Hawks’ center shot 1-of-7 inside the arc while making 50 percent of his three-point attempts. That said, the overall stat line more than compensates for the poor shooting. With Kristaps Porziņģis (illness) out for at least two weeks, now is the time for fantasy managers to go all-in on Okongwu. Atlanta plays three games in the final four days of Week 9, starting on Thursday.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game with a sprained right ankle, Alexander-Walker’s status has been upgraded. He’ll continue to serve as the starting point guard, as Trae Young is not ready to return from the knee injury that he suffered in late October. Alexander-Walker should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Porziņģis has missed seven of Atlanta’s last eight games, with most of the absences occurring due to illness. While it’s unknown if this current situation is connected to the illness that short-circuited the end of his 2024-25 season with the Celtics, this is concerning enough that the Hawks have decided to shut Porziņģis down for at least two more weeks. Fantasy managers should continue to stash him in an IL+ slot, and Onyeka Okongwu will remain Atlanta’s starting center. He’s already rostered in most leagues regardless of format.

Alexander-Walker, who has been starting since late October due to Trae Young’s knee injury, is dealing with a right lateral ankle sprain. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, the Hawks will likely turn to Keaton Wallace to fill the void. However, Wallace would not be the only player whose usage would increase, as Jalen Johnson would have the ball in his hands even more than he already does.

Johnson’s triple-double streak stayed alive on Friday as the versatile forward was able to extend the streak to three games, despite being on the wrong end of a blowout loss. He still logged 34 minutes, which he utilized to finish as the Hawks’ leading rebounder and playmaker on the night. The triple-double also marked his fourth in the past six games. Johnson is enjoying a career-best season in terms of his averages per game across the three major categories, and has been one of the best forwards in fantasy basketball leagues up to this point in the season.

Daniels’ production came on a night when the team struggled to stay competitive against the Pistons. Despite the one-sided score, the fourth-year guard tied a team-high in minutes at 34, which allowed him to finish as one of the team’s best scorers, facilitators, and rebounders on the evening. Daniels ended up collecting his third double-double of the season and put together a solid night from a fantasy basketball standpoint. He’ll have a chance to log another productive performance against the Sixers on Sunday.

Things went south for the Pistons while their starters were on the floor, but the one-sided contest didn’t prevent Alexander-Walker from putting up some decent stats. His scoring and three-point shooting were the main things that stood out, as he led the team in threes and total points. Despite Atlanta playing inconsistent basketball of late, the first-year Hawk continues to be productive — he’s scored over 20 points and hit at least three three-pointers in six of his last seven appearances. Alexander-Walker shouldn’t slow down much as long as he’s on the floor and in good health.

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.

Cunningham’s fantasy production was limited due to a one-sided contest on Friday between the Pistons and Hawks. Detroit led in this one by as many as 35 points, thus holding the former No. 1 overall pick to 23 minutes of game action. Friday marked the third time in the last five games that Cunningham finished with fewer than 20 points, which had happened only once previously this season. The Pistons will face the Celtics on Monday, which is the next time Cunningham will have a chance to put forth fantasy numbers that more closely align with the dominant ones he’s tallied so far this season.

Shams notes that, “Hawks star Trae Young, who sustained a sprained MCL on Oct. 29, is optimistic about returning to action this month. The Hawks have gone 12-8 without Young in the lineup, and they believe his fit with a rising core in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu will elevate the team.” It’s an encouraging update, but there is still no clear timeline for Young’s return. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status.

With Tobias Harris (ankle) unavailable, Stewart made his seventh start of the season on Saturday. After shooting 4-of-10 from three in his previous nine appearances, Beef Stew shot 3-of-5 against the Bucks. If there was a disappointing aspect of his performances, it was the lack of rebounds. Over the last two games, Stewart totaled three rebounds, a poor return for a player averaging 6.0 per game on the season. Recent rebounding production aside, he remains a player who should be rostered in deep leagues.

After playing 36 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers, Cunningham logged 32 on Saturday, spending most of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Pistons point guard is up to 12 double-doubles on the season and fifth in his last 10 games. The negative for Cunningham managers is the upcoming schedule, as Detroit plays only once in Week 8.

Johnson’s metamorphosis into one of the league’s most impactful all-around contributors continued in this one, as he recorded his second straight triple-double and his fourth in his last 12 games. The 24-year-old has operated as Atlanta’s primary offensive catalyst all season, delivering bona fide first-round fantasy value. He’s averaging a ridiculous 26.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks over his last seven contests. Are you not entertained? The Hawks are off until Friday when they face the Pistons before closing out a brief two-game week with a home tilt against the 76ers.

Okongwu took advantage of Washington’s injury-depleted frontcourt and historically porous defense, and the absence of fellow big Kristaps Porziņģis on the second night of a back-to-back, to knock down 10-of-17 shots and eclipse the 20-point plateau for the eighth time this season.
