Banchero went 0-for-4 from beyond the arc but still finished just two assists shy of a triple-double. Orlando’s perimeter struggles continued, shooting 25 percent (5-of-20) from deep in the first half and falling behind by 17 at the break. The 23-year-old franchise cornerstone has underwhelmed early on relative to fantasy managers’ lofty expectations, averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds through eight games. The Magic will attempt to turn things around on Friday against the defensively-challenged Celtics in a tasty home matchup.

There weren’t a ton of bright spots in this one for Orlando, but da Silva came off the bench to inject some much-needed life, knocking down four of five shots from downtown. The Magic continue to be one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the league, which gives da Silva a chance to carve out a larger role moving forward. He’s scored in double figures five times in eight games to open the season.

Bane was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for pulling down Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu as he was going up for a layup. The following action of swatting the ball down onto a prone Okongwu was what prompted the technical foul, leading to Bane’s ejection. Bane finished with nine points (2-of-6 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), one rebound, two assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in 23 minutes.

Harris will miss a second consecutive game after spraining his right ankle during Saturday’s win over the Mavericks. Isaiah Stewart was sensational as his replacement in the lineup on Monday and should get another start, especially with the Jazz employing a bigger frontcourt.

Any slow start to the season is certainly behind Cunningham at this point. Over the last three games, he is averaging 28.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 12.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor. He set a career-high for assists in his last game and set a season-high for points in this one. Cunningham is on a tear, which has led to Detroit’s three-game win streak. He’ll look to stay hot against the Wizards on Wednesday.

It wasn’t a big scoring night for Thompson, but he was still able to make a big impact on this game by setting new season-highs for both steals and blocks. Thompson’s production on the defensive end is what will set him apart in fantasy basketball, and this is the type of performance that fantasy managers hoped for when drafting him. They have three more games this week, with the Jazz up next on the schedule on Wednesday. Utah currently leads the league in turnovers per game, making this a strong opportunity for Thompson to have a big night.

Beef Stew replaced Tobias Harris (ankle) in the starting lineup against Memphis, and it resulted in a monster night for him. It was Stewart’s first start of the season, and he finished with season-highs in points and rebounds while tying his season-high for blocks, assists and three-pointers. If Harris remains out against the Jazz on Wednesday, Stewart could be in line for another start and would be considered a valuable streaming target in that scenario.

Stewart moves into the starting lineup on Monday, as the Pistons are without Tobias Harris. Beef Stew has played well to begin the season, and the spot start raises his fantasy ceiling. The lineup change may also mean a few more minutes for Paul Reed, but he is not worth the streaming risk.

Robinson enjoyed his best game as a Piston on Saturday, shooting over 50 percent from the field and notching a season-high point total. The issue thus far has been inconsistency, with Robinson shooting 42.9 percent from the field. However, he’s still averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game, and that’s the category he’s primarily rostered for. Robinson will look to build on Saturday’s performance when the Pistons visit the Grizzlies on Monday.

Harris had a challenging night in Mexico City, injuring his right ankle during the first half. The good news is that he returned, starting the third quarter, and played 35 minutes. That said, Harris never looked entirely comfortable after the injury and struggled with his shot throughout. While he isn’t too far off from his Yahoo! ADP (118), Harris is shooting just 39.4 percent from the field. The ankle injury is more concerning, especially with the Pistons visiting the Grizzlies on Monday in the first of four games they’ll play during Week 3.

Saturday’s game in Mexico City was the “Cade and Jalen Show,” as Cunningham and starting center Jalen Duren were dominant for the Pistons. Cade matched his career-high with 18 assists and only committed one turnover. Cunningham’s two issues from a fantasy standpoint thus far have been turnovers and field goal percentage, as he’s averaging 3.8 turnovers and shooting 40.2 percent from the field. Neither was an issue on Saturday, allowing the Pistons to pull away down the stretch.

Unsurprisingly, a Mavericks team playing without Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II due to injury had no answer for Duren in Mexico City. The fourth-year center spent the entirety of his time on the offensive end in the restricted area, where he attempted all 16 of his shots. In addition to recording his third double-double in six games, Duren notched his second career 30-point game. Shooting 63.8 percent from the field and 84.6 percent from the foul line, he’s providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (56). The Pistons play four games during Week 3, starting with the Grizzlies on Monday.

Carter recorded his second double-double of the season on Saturday, finishing one rebound shy of his season-high. Over his last two games, the Magic center has scored 34 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Carter’s limited offensive production gives him a low ceiling. And with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane at the top of the pecking order, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

Back in the Magic lineup after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Hornets, Suggs had a rough night from beyond the arc. He missed all seven three-point attempts, sinking his overall field-goal percentage. However, Suggs did rack up five steals, which was an excellent development for category-league managers and DFS players, as he salvaged something from Saturday’s effort. While Orlando plays three games during Week 3, it ends with a Sunday/Monday back-to-back, potentially limiting Suggs to two games. Due to Suggs’ availability, Anthony Black returned to the bench on Saturday, finishing with eight points, two rebounds, five assists and one blocked shot in 25 minutes.

While teammate Paolo Banchero boasted a higher ADP entering the season, Wagner has remained the superior option in category leagues. He finished Saturday’s rout a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and is ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats. Wagner’s scoring and assist averages are slightly lower than his 2024-25 numbers, but that isn’t a huge deal. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s showing when the Magic open a three-game Week 3 in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Banchero and the Magic grabbed control of Saturday’s game during the second quarter, outscoring the Wizards by a 43-21 margin. The percentages may be the most significant “win” for those with the forward on their rosters, as he entered Saturday shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 71.0 percent from the foul line. Banchero’s still ranked outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, and improving the percentages would go a long way toward changing that. Orlando plays three games during Week 3, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Sasser remains out for another game and has yet to make an appearance for the Pistons this season. When Cade Cunningham is not in the game, Detroit has relied on a combination of Ausar Thompson and Daniss Jenkins to run the show. While Thompson should already be rostered everywhere, there’s no need to consider streaming Jenkins.

Suggs sat out Thursday on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he’ll be back in action after that one-game absence. Anthony Black went off for 20 points in Thursday’s spot start, but he’ll likely cede his spot with the first unit back to Suggs on Saturday.

Da Silva has reached double figures in four of Orlando’s first six games, with Thursday’s output being his best. The second-year wing is in a challenging spot to provide consistent fantasy value, as he backs up Franz Wagner, but he can be helpful in certain matchups. Da Silva played well against the Hornets, and Saturday’s game against the Wizards could be another spot where he offers sneaky deep-league value.

While Carter has grabbed at least eight rebounds in five of his six games played, the offensive production has been limited. Having scored between eight and 10 points in Orlando’s first five games, WCJ had his best night of the season against the Hornets. He established season-highs in points and three-pointers while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. However, while this was a solid effort, Carter’s production before Thursday suggests that this won’t become the norm. Especially with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane ahead of him in the pecking order. Carter remains a deep-league option only.

The Magic were without starting point guard Jalen Suggs on Thursday, as the game was the team’s second in as many nights. While Tyus Jones (five points, one steal and one three-pointer in 14 minutes) started the first game that Suggs missed, Black was tabbed to fill the void on Thursday, taking on the task of defending LaMelo Ball. While solid defensively, the third-year guard had his best offensive night of the season, scoring 20 points and shooting 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero handled most of the playmaking for the starters, but this did not negatively impact Black’s production. Suggs should be back for Saturday’s game against the Wizards, but the Magic had to be encouraged by what they saw from Black.

Wagner, who entered Thursday’s game with a left heel contusion, played 34 minutes without any issues. While he hasn’t reached his Yahoo!

Banchero and the Magic ended their four-game losing streak on Thursday, with the star forward finishing one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. The lone negative for him was the foul shooting, with Paolo making just two of his six attempts on the night. Free-throw percentage and turnovers have lowered Banchero’s value in nine-cat formats, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be too concerned with the season being just over one week old.

He also had six assists and a block and a steal.

Could Duren be in for a breakout season this year? The easiest path to a breakout would be an injury to Isaiah Stewart, which would mean more minutes on a regular basis for Duren. On Wednesday, the 21-year-old center played 33 minutes, though. Another way Duren could breakout is that the Pistons simply need his scoring to win games this year. The Pistons have three wins after five games. In those wins, Duren has scored at least 20 points twice and in the other game he was ejected after playing 12 minutes. With the Pistons needing points without Jaden Ivey (knee) and Malik Beasley, Duren looks like he’s ready to step up.

Cunningham joined the likes of LeBron James and Nikola Jokic as players with at least 30 points, at least 10 assists, at least three steals and at least three blocks in a game in the last 20 years. It’s perhaps even more impressive that the 24-year-old point guard had a great game after having arguably the worst game he’s had as a professional against the Cavaliers on Monday. Cunningham and the Pistons were able to bounce back for a much-needed win. Expect the team to go as far as he takes them this year.

Banchero did his best to help Orlando mount a second-half comeback effort, but they were unable to come all the way back, slashing the deficit to two points with just over six minutes left before the 76ers pulled away for good. The 22-year-old burgeoning superstar scored 17 of his 32 points in the first half on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with six free throws. He wound up getting to the line six times in this one and was perfect from the stripe. He’s scored at least 24 points in three of Orlando’s first four contests to kick off the season.
