Cunningham did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, which moved Jaden Ivey into the starting lineup. However, Ivey only played 20 minutes despite no longer being under a minutes restriction. Daniss Jenkins played 28 minutes off the bench and dished out a career-high 15 assists.

Due to condensation on the court, the Heat-Bulls game in Chicago has been postponed. No official makeup date has been announced yet, but that will be announced in the coming days. Both teams return to action on Saturday, with the Heat visiting the Pacers and the Bulls hosting the Mavericks.

After coming off the bench in his first game back from a right great toe injury, Herro has returned to the starting lineup. As a result, Kel’el Ware will come off the bench. While his ceiling is slightly lower with the demotion, Ware should still be rostered in most leagues.

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.

With Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren out, Stewart’s fantasy value has received a boost recently. However, with Cade Cunningham also out on Wednesday, few envisioned Beef Stew putting on the performance that he did against the Bulls. He only missed three of his 17 shot attempts, finishing with his first 30-point game as a pro. 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.

The Pistons are without Cade Cunningham for Wednesday’s game, as he’s out with a wrist injury. Ivey moves into the starting lineup, making his first start since returning from a fractured fibula on November 22. While this does raise Ivey’s ceiling, the boost may not be significant since Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser are also available.

Herro looked like his usual self coming off the bench in this one following an 11-game absence recovering from a right toe injury. He shot the ball well overall but was just 1-of-4 from three-point range in his first game action since December 9. It was an off night for Miami overall as they shot just 35.7 percent from the floor as a team and failed to break the century mark. It’s been a frustrating season for Herro, and fantasy managers, as injuries have limited to just seven games after he played 77 of 82 last year. He shouldn’t have too many restrictions from a minutes standpoint moving forward.

Powell knocked down a pair of three-pointers to open the contest but never really got going afterwards as Miami went ice-cold from the floor in the second half and fell behind by nearly 30 points by the middle of the fourth quarter. The 32-year-old has been a revelation for fantasy managers in his Heat debut, averaging 24.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks through 32 games. He’s scored at least 21 points in seven consecutive games since December 26.

Cunningham, who did about whatever he wanted in Monday’s win over the Knicks, is dealing with a right wrist contusion.

Herro was available on Sunday, but he didn’t take the court.

Green continues to play more minutes with Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris and Caris LeVert missing some time. The 32-year-old shooting guard isn’t worth rostering in most leagues, but in the right matchup he can score around 20 points and make 3-4 threes. That might be enough to make him worth considering as a streamer in some deeper formats.

Cunningham admitted in the postgame interview that there was something extra to the game because they were playing the Knicks for the first time since losing to them in last year’s playoffs. The Pistons had a 10 point at halftime before Cunningham completely took over in the third quarter. The 24-year-old point guard had 15 points, the same amount as the Knicks’ entire team, as the Pistons won the third quarter by 10. He came out of the game with 29 points and 13 assists in just 29 minutes. Cunningham should be well rested when Detroit is back in action Wednesday against the Bulls.

Jaquez was initially ruled out for this game, which would’ve been a second consecutive absence for him. However, he has now been upgraded, which is a good indicator that he may be able to give it a go. He’ll return to playing his typical significant reserve role if he is able to suit up.

Powell got off to a sizzling-hot start on the second night of a back-to-back, going 6-of-7 from the field, including 5-of-6 from three-point range, to enter halftime with 20 points. He kept the momentum going down the home stretch, finishing 9-of-12 from beyond the arc, notching his second 30-point performance in his last three games. The unheralded 32-year-old scoring machine has benefitted greatly from Miami’s new run-and-gun style offense in his Heat debut, delivering third-round fantasy value, averaging 24.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks through 31 games. The Heat are in line for a four-game week coming up that includes a rematch against Minnesota before road tilts against the Bulls, Pacers and Thunder.

Jović, who came into this one nursing a left groin contusion, went 6-of-10 from the floor, scoring 15 points in the opening half as Miami built an early advantage. The 22-year-old cooled off considerably over the final three quarters but still managed to turn in a respectable all-around effort. He’s been excellent over the past two weeks, averaging 14.8 points and 5.3 rebounds over his last six games during that span. He’s worthy of a speculative fantasy roster spot, especially in deeper leagues.

Ware remains one of this season’s great fantasy wild cards — dominant one night, invisible the next. The 21-year-old center is still very much a work in progress, but he’s been a double-double machine this season, averaging 12.4 points and 10.6 boards through 36 games and grading out as a top-30 overall fantasy performer.

The Pistons did not have Tobias Harris or Jalen Duren for Sunday’s game, so Reed joined Isaiah Stewart in the starting lineup. “BBall Paul” wasn’t a prolific scorer, but the rebounds and assists will be helpful to the few who streamed him. As for Stewart, he supplemented his eight points with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocked shots. He remains the superior option for fantasy managers while Harris and Duren remain out.

With Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren out due to injury, the Pistons needed someone to step up offensively. Enter Jenkins, who had the most prolific quarter for a bench player in franchise history on Sunday. Shooting 6-of-6 from beyond the arc, the second-year guard scored 21 points in the second quarter. Jenkins did not offer much scoring in the second half, but the second quarter enabled Detroit to bounce back from a slow start, with the Pistons scoring 47 points in the frame.

While Cunningham did not shoot the ball well from the field on Sunday, he was efficient in other ways. A perfect 11-of-11 from the foul line, the Pistons’ point guard was responsible for just one turnover, one shy of his season-low tally. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has offered top-10 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Pistons play four games in Week 12, starting with the Knicks on Monday.

For the first time in four games, Thompson managed to crack double figures in the points category. And he’s been a disappointment in fantasy basketball thus far, sitting well outside the top-150 in eight-cat per-game value. For a player who many fantasy managers were banking on for top-100 value, the season has reached an uncomfortable point. While few category league managers want to move on from a player with Thompson’s defensive potential, it will be challenging to get decent value back in a trade.

With the Pistons losing Tobias Harris to a hip injury during the first half, Stewart was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter. That did not significantly affect his playing time, with Beef Stew logging 18 minutes. However, Stewart didn’t miss a shot, and he was one of six reserves to play at least eight minutes. A move into the starting lineup if Harris misses time would raise Stewart’s fantasy ceiling, but the jump may not be extreme due to Detroit’s improved depth.
