With Cade Cunningham (lung) set to miss at least two weeks, Jenkins will enter the starting unit at the point guard spot. He has has success as a starter this year and should provide plenty of assists and steals over the next few weeks.

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.

While the doubtful tag suggests that Embiid is not ready to return to action, it is a step in the right direction. When available, Adem Bona has been his replacement in the starting lineup, and there was a game last week when Dominick Barlow had to slide from power forward to center due to the 76ers’ injuries at the five.

Injured during the first quarter of Tuesday’s win over the Wizards, Cunningham has already been ruled out for Thursday’s rematch. Daniss Jenkins has been the replacement in the lineup in prior instances when Cunningham wasn’t available, and that may be the case in this spot as well. Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert may also see their opportunities to serve as playmakers within the rotation.

This was an ugly loss for Philadelphia, but Beauchamp was able to have a decent night. This was his second-highest scoring performance of the season, though he didn’t contribute much else for fantasy managers. He signed a two-way deal with the 76ers in December and has only made a handful of appearances since then. Beauchamp should continue to have a role with the 76ers so shorthanded, but his impact will be limited.

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.

Cunningham had six points in five minutes before heading to the locker room early in Tuesday’s game against the Wizards. The 24-year-old point guard ended up being ruled out for the rest of the game with back spasms, according to the Pistons. With Cunningham out, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser figure to handle the point guard duties for Detroit.

Edgecombe sliding over in the starting point guard role in Tyrese Maxey’s stead has not resulted in a groundswell of assists. However, he did hit double figures in rebounds for the fourth time on Sunday, and fantasy managers also benefited from the blocked shots and percentages. Even with the 76ers playing three games in Week 21, Edgecombe’s role has raised his fantasy ceiling. Whether he reaches it will depend on his progression as a playmaker for others.

Edwards has started the 76ers’ last three games, and his points tally has increased in each. He finished Sunday’s victory with his first 20-point game since November 11 and second of the season. While the overall stat line was somewhat lean, the few who streamed Edwards aren’t doing much complaining. His place in the starting lineup moving forward depends on Kelly Oubre Jr., who has been out with a sprained left elbow. The 76ers play three games in Week 21, starting with the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Injuries have thrust Grimes into a prominent role within the 76ers’ rotation, and he’s taken advantage more often than not. Since scoring two points in his first start on March 3, the 76ers guard has reached double figures in seven straight, surpassing 20 points in four. Sundays’ performance was the best of the bunch for Grimes, who finished with a season-high 31. With Tyrese Maxey (finger) unlikely to help fantasy managers again this season, Grimes is a must-add in 12-team leagues.

Cunningham had failed to reach 20 points in two games in a row, but bounced back with this effort in a loss to the Raptors on Sunday. The 24-year-old point guard had nine assists after recording 28 combined in the last two games. Cunningham has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks despite the point-scoring blip. The Pistons have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday.

Edwards missed all three of his three-point attempts, but otherwise had a fantastic game in the win over the Nets on Saturday. The 22-year-old small forward isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, but should continue to see more opportunities with the 76ers still dealing with injuries.

Bona started with Andre Drummond (back) and Joel Embiid (knee) out and almost had a double-double against the Nets on Saturday.

With the 76ers dealing with a litany of injuries, Grimes continues to start and see heavy usage. The 25-year-old shooting guard took over the game Saturday against the Nets, dropping 28 points on 22 field goal attempts in the victory.

After recording 13 assists in Thursday’s win over the Nets, Cunningham was even better against the Grizzlies. The Pistons’ star point guard racked up 15 helpers on Friday, the second time in three games that he’s hit that number.

He’ll likely run into greater resistance when the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Duren was dominant on Friday, an unsurprising development, given the Grizzlies’ lack of interior depth and size.

Embiid has missed Philadelphia’s last six games with a strained oblique, and five games last month with a knee injury. To say that the 76ers have struggled in the former MVP’s absence would be an understatement, especially since Tyrese Maxey went down with a finger injury.

Dominick Barlow served as the starting center, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.

After a solid showing in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, his first after a three-game absence with a back injury, Edgecombe struggled in Detroit.

The 76ers’ many absences freed up opportunities for players who normally would not be guaranteed rotation minutes, including Beauchamp.

Seven Pistons finished Thursday’s 131-107 victory in double figures, with the reserves getting a little more playing time due to the game getting out of hand. However, Green didn’t need “garbage time” to have one of his most productive games of the season. The 17 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 5 blowout of the Knicks, and he scored eight in the third quarter. Friday’s game against the Grizzlies may be another opportunity for Green to put up solid numbers against a shorthanded opponent.

The Pistons were able to pull away from the 76ers in the third quarter, despite Cunningham having a limited impact as a scorer. The All-Star guard attempted just six shots in the night, a season-low, with this being the second time he’s failed to put up at least ten. The good news is that Cunningham recorded 13 assists, the fifth time in the last six games that he’s dished out ten or more.

Duren found himself in early foul trouble on Thursday, and that, combined with the blowout, conspired to limit the Pistons’ center to 15 minutes.

With the Pistons hosting the Grizzlies on Friday, that’s another game where Duren’s playing time could be limited due to the competition.

Given how banged-up the 76ers were entering Thursday’s game, this was an opportunity for some of the Pistons’ unheralded options to put up better numbers than usual. Robinson’s 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over a month, and he last made five triples in a February 21 win over the Bulls. Robinson’s four assists were a nice bonus, but he remains a three-point specialist in fantasy leagues.
