For the first time since December 30, the Pistons have their preferred starting five to begin a game. Cunningham, Harris and Duren all return after missing time due to injury, and Isaiah Stewart will be available off the bench. Robinson and Thompson are the only two who were in the lineup for Detroit’s most recent game, a loss to the Clippers on Saturday.

Huerter is dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, but the probable tag suggests he’ll be available to play. He most recently played 19 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. While Huerter’s playing time has been consistent, the role isn’t good enough to make him much more than a deep-league streamer.

White struggled in his first game back from a calf injury that sidelined him in Tuesday’s loss to the Rockets. He was limited to 30 minutes of action on Wednesday and didn’t have his usual impact as a scorer. He also logged five turnovers and struggled with his ball security, despite being having a good game as a facilitator. White is having a down season relative to his recent campaigns, but he will have a chance to bounce back on Friday against the Nets.

Donsunmu bounced back from an unspectacular performance against the Rockets to put up some solid numbers in a winning effort against the Jazz on Wednesday. The fifth-year guard scored efficiently and was impactful with his playmaking against Utah to finish as one of Chicago’s top scorers and assisters. The double-figure scoring performances marked the sixth of January for Dosunmu, who continues to have one of his best seasons as a pro.

Vučević had himself another productive performance on Wednesday, going for 20 or more points for the third time already in January and reaching the 30-point mark for the first time all season. Efficient shooting led to his season-high, and the veteran center was also impactful as a facilitator in this game. He finished as Chicago’s leading scorer on the night in the win and will have a chance for another strong outing on Friday against the Nets.

All three players are currently dealing with injuries and have missed multiple games, but their practice status could mean they are closing in on a return. The Pistons’ next game is Thursday against the Suns, and they get two more home games after that - Saturday against the Pacers and Monday against the Celtics. Daniss Jenkins and Isaiah Stewart are the biggest fantasy beneficiaries of the trio’s continued absences.

This was a seventh straight start for Jones, and while the assists have come consistently, the points have been up and down. However, he had an insanely hot night as a scorer, which led to a new career high for points. Jones will continue to start and be worth rostering as long as Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains out, but with Coby White (calf) likely back against the Jazz, Jones isn’t going to have a repeat of this performance in the near future.

Smith was available off the bench in Chicago’s last game after a two-game absence, but he was back in the starting unit for this one with Coby White (calf) sidelined. He had a subpar shooting night and missed all five of his three-point attempts, but he did come close to recording a double-double. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so White should return to play the Jazz on Wednesday, which may push Smith back to the bench.

Giddey being able to do some work during Monday’s practice is a step in the right direction. However, he still wasn’t a full participant in the non-contact session.

Smith was back in the Bulls’ rotation after a two-game absence, and the playing time wasn’t too far removed from his season average (17.7 mpg). He didn’t shoot the ball well, but the rebounds and blocks will be helpful for deep-league managers who have Smith rostered. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so there may be some questions regarding Smith’s availability.

Matching up with Cooper Flagg for the first time this season, Buzelis had a good night. However, it could have been much better for the second-year forward, who missed all five of his three-point attempts. As a result, Buzelis failed to record his third consecutive 20-point game. The most significant issue for Buzelis in fantasy basketball recently has been the foul line, where he has made 66.7 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. He’s shooting 77.2 percent for the season, so there shouldn’t be too much concern about a player offering top-100 fantasy value.

For the first time this season, Vučević has recorded double-doubles in three consecutive games. The Bulls spread the wealth offensively on Saturday, with seven players scoring in double figures. Vooch supplemented his double-double with a few assists and three “stocks,” the most in a game for him since December 21. Shooting 55.4 percent from the field, Vučević has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

For the first time this season, Dosunmu has scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. His overall stat line was excellent, with the Bulls’ guard having an efficient night at the office. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good way for Dosunmu to end Week 12. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday. How high Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling is depends partly on the availability of Josh Giddey (hamstring), who should be re-evaluated soon, per the timeline provided at the time of his injury.

The Bulls ended their three-game losing streak on Saturday, with offensive balance being the reason. White led seven Bulls in double figures with 22 points, making his first start since December 29. When available, his fantasy value has not met the expectations of fantasy managers, with White ranked just inside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 in Houston on Tuesday, and that’s the first game of a back-to-back.

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.

Over his last two games, Vučević has grabbed a total of 31 rebounds. While Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart outplayed him, the veteran center’s double-double will please those who have him rostered.

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.

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.
