Cunningham was the do-it-all superstar we’ve seen so far for the Pistons this season again Friday. The 24-year-old point guard filled up the stat sheet, leading the way with 29 points and nine assists. Cunningham is also getting it done on the defensive end, where he has 10 steals in three games so far this week. The Pistons close out the week with a matchup against the Bucks on Saturday.

Wagner was in a slump with his three-point shot, making just six threes in his last eight games entering play Friday. The 24-year-old small forward got back on track against the Heat, knocking down four threes and leading the Magic to victory.

Cunningham was held below 20 points for the second consecutive game to start December after going the entire month of November without that happening.

After back-to-back 37-point outings, Bane cooled off on Wednesday. However, he still dished out six assists, and he has recorded at least five in seven of his last eight games. Over the past two weeks, Bane has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. While he has been more aggressive in looking for his shot, especially since Paolo Banchero’s groin injury, Bane has not neglected setting up others, which has boosted his fantasy value.

Wagner had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime, but San Antonio’s Luke Kornet blocked his layup attempt as time expired. The Magic forward has scored at least 21 points in four straight games, and he’s averaging 23 per game for the season. Wagner continues to close in on top-50 value in eight-cat formats and has already crossed that threshold in nine-cat. The Magic play two more games in Week 7, starting with the Heat on Friday.

Suggs recorded his fourth 20-point game of the season on Wednesday, attempting a season-high 20 shots. He’s been a more active scorer recently, attempting 17, 13 and 20 shots in his last three appearances. And with Paolo Banchero still out, there’s room for Suggs to bring a bit more to the table on that end of the floor. Despite shooting 40.2 percent from the field, he has been a top-30 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Carter has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Of course, it would be good to get more consistent defensive production out of the Magic center, but the top-100 may be his ceiling at this stage in his career. That isn’t elite, but it isn’t a bad spot to be in, either. The 17 points he scored on Monday were the most in a game for Carter since November 18, when he hit that number in a win over the Warriors.

On a night when starting point guard Jalen Suggs (10/4/4/5/1 with two three-pointers) shot 3-of-13 from the field, Black picked up the slack for the Magic. This was his fourth game with at least 20 points, with Monday’s total only being exceeded by the 31 he scored in Orlando’s November 25 blowout of the 76ers. Over the past two weeks, Black has provided top-100 in nine-cat formats. Given how well he’s played, Black should remain rostered in 14-team leagues.

Having turned in another efficient stat line, Wagner has scored at least 20 points in three straight and five of his last six games. The Magic have gone 7-2 since losing Paolo Banchero to a strained groin, and Wagner’s consistency is one reason for the excellent record. He’s provided top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the last nine games. While that doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (36), it is still a good value for those who have Wagner rostered.

After scoring a season-high 37 points in Friday’s win over the Pistons, Bane matched that total on Monday. He was a bit too deferential to begin his first season with the Magic, but that hasn’t been the case recently, especially after Orlando lost Paolo Banchero to a strained groin. Since the November 12 win over the Knicks, Bane has averaged 24.1 points per game on 47.1 percent shooting from the field and 96.4 percent from the foul line. He has been a top-25 player with Banchero out, which has been great for fantasy managers who have him on their rosters.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) sidelined for the first time this season, Jenkins was able to get the starting nod. He was able to provide rebounds and assists, but it was a rough shooting night for him. He missed all eight of his shots from deep and both of his free throws. Jenkins has typically been productive as a starter, so this performance shouldn’t make anyone shy away from him as a streamer next time he gets to start.

Cunningham wasn’t able to have his typical dominant scoring night, but he got the job done late with a pair of clutch buckets with less than a minute left to turn a tied game in to a four-point lead for Detroit. His scoring output was underwhelming for fantasy managers, but the rest of his night wasn’t. He set a new career high for steals and had more “stocks” than he’s ever had in a single game. It was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to stay hot in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

However, while Beef Stew (9/8/1/0/1 in 29 minutes) was solid in his time on the floor, Duren’s absence opened things up for Reed as well. “BBall Paul” recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first occurring in a November 12 win over the Bulls. Unlike Stewart, who can provide tangible fantasy value when Duren is playing, Reed needs an absence to become viable. He should only be added if Duren misses more time.

A double-digit scorer in all five games he’s played since returning from a sprained ankle, Harris had his best night of the season in Miami. He recorded his second 20-point game, exceeding his previous high of 23 (October 29 vs. Orlando). Harris remains outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, but that’s due mainly to the sprained ankle and time that he missed. He isn’t a prolific fantasy option, but Tobias will provide reliable value when available. The Pistons play four games during Week 7.

For the first time since being traded to Detroit during the offseason, Robinson played against the Heat in Miami on Saturday.

After Jalen Suggs (14/4/1/4/1 with two three-pointers) made two free throws with just over six seconds remaining to push the Magic lead out to three, Black made the play that clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. His rejection of a Duncan Robinson three-point attempt sealed the victory, and the third-year guard continues to make strides. Black didn’t shoot the ball well from the field, but fantasy managers still received solid value due to the overall line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Suggs has also been excellent for category league managers, but his availability is what keeps Black on the radar in some 12-team leagues.

With Paolo Banchero (groin) out, the Magic have looked to Wagner more often, and on most nights, he has been up to the task.

Interestingly, while Bane scored a season-high 37 points, he did not make a single three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he shot 65 percent from inside the arc and was a frequent visitor to the foul line. All that was missing from Bane’s stat line was a three-pointer, and the overall production compensated for that. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-25 player in nine-cat formats, rebounding from a slow start to the season.

The Magic looked extremely sluggish on the second night of a back-to-back after a late arrival into Boston and playing without offensive catalyst Paolo Banchero for the sixth straight game while he continues recovering from a groin strain. Their struggles came mostly on the defensive end of the floor as they allowed the Celtics to shoot over 60 percent from the floor. Wagner took just 10 shots on the heels of a 37-point explosion during Saturday’s impressive win over the Knicks but managed to get to the line for eight free throw attempts to help salvage his night.

Howard was a one-man wrecking crew off the bench in the closing stages, fully capitalizing on extra run on the second night of a back-to-back.

It came completely out of nowhere, too — his previous season high was just eight points.
