Sasser has a significant opportunity with Pistons superstar Cade Cunningham (lung) out for potentially the rest of the regular season. The 25-year-old point guard won’t be able to capitalize on that opportunity Friday as he’s been ruled out with hip soreness for the game against the Warriors. Daniss Jenkins will start at point guard while Caris LeVert and Ausar Thompson could see increased playmaking opportunities.

Huerter had 14 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s win over the Wizards. The 27-year-old small forward is questionable for Friday’s game against the Warriors with a right shoulder contusion. Javonte Green would likely see more minutes if Huerter is ruled out, but isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Duren is dealing with right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old center is coming off a 24-point performance in Thursday’s win over the Wizards, though he went to the locker room late in the third quarter and sat on the bench for the entire fourth quarter. If Duren can’t play Friday, expect Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed to take on added importance.

After a run of three consecutive games with at least 12 points, Robinson totaled nine in Detroit’s last two games entering Thursday. He and fantasy managers needed a bounce-back performance, and the veteran guard came through with a 4-of-9 night from beyond the arc. The five rebounds were a nice bonus for fantasy managers, most of whom don’t expect much from Robinson beyond points and three-pointers.

Duren finished Thursday’s victory with a fifth consecutive double-double, but there was some concern regarding his departure with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter. The All-Star center went back to the locker room, and it was unclear if there was an injury concern. Duren was back on the bench for the entire fourth quarter, finishing with 25 minutes played. Backup Paul Reed played 21 minutes, finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks. With Isaiah Stewart unavailable, Reed has some value in deep fantasy leagues.

With Cade Cunningham (lung) out for at least two weeks, the door is open for Jenkins to be a league winner for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, the second-year guard had a rough night shooting the basketball, making one of his nine two-point attempts. Jenkins shot the ball slightly better from two, but the 3-of-16 night won’t do managers any favors. Caris LeVert (14/5/2/4) was more productive coming off the bench, but he logged 22 minutes to Jenkins’ 34.

Cunningham had to leave Tuesday’s win over the Wizards with back spasms, but the issue is worse than that. The Pistons announced on Thursday that he has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Daniss Jenkins was the replacement in the starting lineup the last time Cunningham missed time, and he’s a worthwhile pickup for fantasy managers. Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert may also take on enhanced roles in Cunningham’s absence.

The third-year forward was one of six Memphis players to score in double figures on Wednesday. And although his scoring came on inefficient shooting, he came up big with nine points in the final frame to help the Grizzlies to a seven-point win. The late scoring also led Jackson to extend his streak of double-digit scoring games to 14, which he’ll have a chance to push to 15 games on Friday against the Celtics. His involvement shouldn’t change down the stretch of the regular season.

Despite not shooting the ball well, Coward managed some decent production in his 25 minutes. The low shooting efficiency was offset by frequent, accurate free-throw shooting and good overall production on the glass. Coward has now scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances. With the Grizzlies’ postseason hopes dwindling, it’s likely they continue to put the ball in his hands and give him opportunities.

In his first game back from a shoulder injury, Jerome helped lead the Grizzlies to a nice victory over the Nuggets. In his 25 minutes on the floor, he had a big scoring impact from the three-point line, but was also Memphis’ most productive rebounder and passer on the evening. His well-rounded performance nearly led to a triple-double. Nonetheless, Jerome’s final line was an impressive one, especially considering how few minutes he logged.

Cade Cunningham (back) exited this game after playing just five minutes, which allowed Jenkins to start the second half and play 21 minutes. He ended up having a productive outing, and he has had success this year when there have been injuries in front of him in the backcourt. They have a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday, so if Cunningham ends up missing time, Jenkins could be in for more strong outings.

This was a fourth straight double-double for Duren, and it was the second 30-point double-double during this stretch. However, this was one of his most dominant performances of the season, as he set a new career high for points in the big win. He stepped up on offense following Cade Cunningham’s early exit with a back injury. They have a rematch in Washington on Thursday, and Duren could be in for another big night.

Aldama underwent a successful arthroscopic surgery, which was previously reported, and now he will officially miss the remainder of the season. He is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the 2026-27 season, but fantasy managers won’t be able to utilize him for the rest of this season. He has been sidelined since Feb. 4, so this won’t alter their recent rotation. Olivier-Maxence Prosper, GG Jackson and Taylor Hendricks will continue to play extended minutes in the frontcourt.

After a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, Clayton was thrust into the Grizzlies’ starting lineup, filling in for Ty Jerome. While the rookie played only 25 minutes, he still produced respectable numbers in points and assists. While it’s challenging to trust him in redraft leagues, Clayton is worth rostering in dynasty leagues, at least until the Grizzlies figure out what they’re going to do with the point guard position in the future.

As with Cedric Coward, Wells’ reduced playing time could prove problematic during the fantasy playoff weeks. He logged 23 minutes on Monday and has exceeded 30 minutes just twice since the All-Star break. Wells’ final stat line was decent, but the Grizzlies have been more balanced in their offensive approach, especially on nights when Ty Jerome isn’t available. Memphis plays three more games in Week 21, starting with the Nuggets on Wednesday.

For the first time in over a month, Coward has played in consecutive games. While the rookie had a good night in Chicago, the combination of availability and playing time has eliminated most of his fantasy value. Coward has not logged 30 minutes in a game since December 30, and the Grizzlies have no reason to change that anytime soon as they look to a loaded 2026 draft class.

The objective of the procedure is to address discomfort in the trochlear compartment of Aldama’s right knee. While the Grizzlies won’t provide a timeline until after the procedure, he’s effectively done for the season in fantasy basketball. Olivier-Maxence Prosper, GG Jackson (when healthy) and Taylor Hendricks are the players whose opportunities have increased due to the Grizzlies’ frontcourt injuries. Aldama is under contract next season with a projected cap hit of $17 million and figures to have a bigger role than he did last season if the Grizzlies don’t add a new big man in free agency or via trade.
