Robinson has now made at least three three-pointers in four straight appearances, which is precisely how he’s expected to offer value in fantasy basketball. Averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game, the Pistons wing is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. Unless there’s a need for three-pointers and not much else, fantasy managers in most leagues can afford to leave Robinson on the waiver wire.

Holland was back in the Pistons’ rotation after missing two games with a knee injury. He was productive in his 19 minutes on the floor, joining Jaden Ivey and Caris LeVert as reserves who finished with 11 points. The issue for Holland from a fantasy standpoint is Detroit’s depth. Against the Jazz, five reserves reached double figures in minutes while a sixth, Daniss Jenkins, played nine. That limits the fantasy ceilings of the Pistons’ reserves, especially Holland. He should only be rostered in dynasty leagues at this point.

Harris has scored in double figures in four straight and five of his last six games. While the scoring has been relatively consistent, the veteran forward’s fantasy value has remained relatively low. Over the past two weeks, Harris has been ranked just outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, some fantasy managers will have to determine if holding onto Harris is worth it. His ceiling is considerably lower than in seasons past, due in part to Detroit’s improved depth.

After dishing out 14 assists in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Cunningham racked up 17 more on Friday, one shy of his career-high. Even better for fantasy managers is that the Pistons’ point guard kept the turnovers in check. He only committed four on Friday, less than half of his total against Sacramento (nine). Cunningham had a chance to win the game, but his three-pointer fell left of the mark as time expired. He and the Pistons will look to end Week 10 with a win when they visit the Clippers on Sunday.

Ball was just 4-of-12 shooting early on, finishing with 12 points in the first half. He managed to turn things around down the home stretch, reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in five games since returning from a brief three-game absence back on December 18. The 24-year-old all-around threat is averaging 19.7 points, 5.4 assists, 8.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks over 21 games this season, delivering seventh-round value for fantasy purposes. The Hornets, who have won four of their last five games, are back in action on Monday when they face the Bucks to open a busy four-game week.

On the heels of an 18-rebound explosion earlier this week, Diabaté posted his second consecutive double-double, pulling down a game-high 13 boards. The 23-year-old center isn’t much of a scoring threat since his game is mostly limited to around the rim, but he’s making an impact for fantasy purposes as an elite rebounder, averaging 12 boards over his last four games. He’ll be a relevant fantasy option in deeper fantasy formats until rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) is ready to return.

Sexton saw an immediate uptick in minutes after rookie sensation Kon Knueppel left the contest with a right ankle injury during the second quarter after exploding for 16 early points on 5-of-7 shooting, including 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. The -year-old guard heated up in the second half, He’s been in double-figures in back-to-back games after an extended absence due to a quad issue.

Knueppel, who scored 16 points in the first quarter of Friday’s game, exited during the second after spraining his right ankle. Unfortunately, the rookie has been ruled out for the rest of the night. Sion James started the third quarter, and he’ll likely be the replacement in the starting lineup if Knueppel misses time beyond the remainder of Friday’s game.

Plumlee will miss a second straight game with a strained right groin. Due to his and Ryan Kalkbrenner’s (elbow) absences, Moussa Diabaté received the starting nod on Tuesday and should retain that role for the foreseeable future. He’s worth streaming in deeper leagues.

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.

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.

Diabaté was perfect from the floor and recorded a double-double by the conclusion first half of this one, finishing with a season-high 18 rebounds in an impressive fantasy effort. The Hornets outscored the Wizards 64-44 in the second half to pull away for a relatively easy win after struggling to get things going in the early stages of the contest. The 23-year-old big man, who drew his second straight start in place of an injured Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) isn’t much of a scoring threat but he’s averaging 10.3 rebounds over his last four games. He makes sense as a temporary streaming option in deeper fantasy formats.

The story hasn’t changed with Ball, who remains one of the fantasy landscape’s most dynamic offensive catalysts when healthy. Availability continues to be the lingering question, but he’s delivered steady production when on the floor, averaging 19.6 points and 8.7 assists through 20 games for roughly sixth-round fantasy value. Encouragingly, he’s appeared in four straight contests without issue after missing three games earlier this month with a bone bruise in his left ankle.

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.
