Despite battling an illness, Holland won’t miss Friday’s game against the Rockets, as he was upgraded from probable to available. The second-year forward has been a nice depth piece for the Pistons this season, averaging 8.2 points and 4.3 rebounds through 40 games. He’ll likely come off the bench against Houston.

Cunningham will take the floor on Friday following a one-game absence. Despite averaging 14.0 points and 3.3 rebounds per game over the last three outings, the Pistons have won four straight and continue to sit atop the Eastern Conference standings. However, fantasy managers hope on Friday that Cunningham can put up numbers that are more like his season averages on 25.7/5.9/9.8.

No surprises for either player, as Robinson was listed as probable, and LeVert was listed as doubtful. Robinson has knocked down at least four treys in six straight games, and he’ll look to carry positive momentum into Friday’s tilt with Houston.

Holland is on the injury report, but with a probable tag, it’s more likely he plays on Friday than not. With Caris LeVert (illness) listed as doubtful, rookie Chaz Lanier could sneak into the back end of the Pistons’ rotation if Holland can’t play. Even if that happens, Lanier should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Given the expectations of many fantasy managers, Thompson’s season has been underwhelming in that regard. But he had a solid night in New Orleans, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. And even with the limited scoring output, Thompson has been close to a top-75 payer over the past two weeks.

Due to Cade Cunningham being out, Jenkins made his seventh start of the season on Wednesday. As has been the case on multiple occasions this season, the second-year guard answered when his name was called. All that Jenkins’ stat line missed was a blocked shot. If Cunningham misses more time, the former St. John’s standout will be worth streaming in deep leagues.

With Cade Cunningham unavailable due to illness and a hip injury, the Pistons needed others to step up. Duren was at the top of the list, and the center was dominant in New Orleans. For the fourth time this season, Duren finished a game with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds. Add in the defensive stats and assists, and Wednesday was an excellent night for those who have Duren rostered.

The Pistons are without Cade Cunningham for Wednesday’s game, as he’s out due to illness and a hip contusion. Jenkins will receive the starting nod, but there should also be a few more minutes available to Jaden Ivey. Jenkins is worth streaming in deep leagues, especially for managers seeking assist production.

While Goodwin has been ranked well outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, he had another good night off the bench. He only needed 20 minutes to record Tuesday’s stat line, a performance that should go a long way toward guaranteeing him a spot in the rotation with Jalen Green (hamstring) making his return. Goodwin isn’t worth rostering in most leagues, but that could change if the Suns were to lose a wing to injury.

Allen is most valuable to fantasy managers needing three-point production, and he’s made at least four in six consecutive games. However, his fantasy value isn’t limited to one category. Allen also offered solid production in the rebound and assist categories, and he has been a top-75 player over the past two weeks despite shooting 40.9 percent from the field.

Appearing in a game for the first time since November 8, Green was under a minutes restriction on Tuesday. He played 20 minutes and provided decent production in that role. Given the time missed, fantasy managers should not expect to see Green playing starters’ minutes anytime soon. Collin Gillespie remained in the starting lineup, finishing with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes. He’s worth holding onto as Green works his way back into the fold, but Gillespie’s playing time will take a hit.

While the efficiency was lacking, Booker received plenty of help from the Suns’ reserves as Phoenix moved to 3-2 on its current six-game road trip. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, Booker was responsible for six of the Suns’ 22 turnovers. He’s had better nights, but the star guard still offered solid value in points and assists.

Harris exited early from Saturday’s game, though the reason wasn’t specified. However, if there was something bothering him then, it didn’t seem to carry over into this game. His 25 points were the most he’s had in a game since November. He hasn’t been a great fantasy option this season, but since returning from a five-game absence with a hip injury, he has been effective. He’ll look to remain hot in New Orleans on Wednesday.

Cunningham was named an All-Star starter earlier in the day, and while he didn’t have an effective night as a shooter, he was able to record a double-double. His work as a playmaker made up for the lack of scoring, and it was enough for Detroit to get the win. It has been a rough three-game stretch for him as a scorer, and he’ll look to get back on track in New Orleans on Wednesday.

An afterthought in most fantasy circles before the season began, Gillespie continues to surprise many. The Suns guard had another excellent night on Monday, shooting 70 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. However, there may be an issue on the horizon for Gillespie managers. Jalen Green (hamstring) is expected to return on Tuesday in Philadelphia, and some of his minutes may come at Gillespie’s expense once he’s playing without any restrictions. Gillespie managers don’t need to panic, but that is something to watch.

Booker has scored at least 22 points in each of his last three appearances. However, he’s shot just 41.1 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why the Suns’ guard has not been a top-100 player during this stretch. Booker doesn’t bring much to the table in the defensive stats, and the assist production has not been what many hoped it would be before the season began. While the season-long value has been good, some fantasy managers may be disappointed that Booker has “only” been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats.

Brooks continues to exceed expectations as a scorer, with Monday’s performance pushing his average to 20.9 points per game. However, there were two negatives for fantasy managers in his most recent outing. For the sixth time in his last six appearances, Brooks did not record any defensive stats. More important than that was the Suns’ wing picking up his 14th technical foul of the season. If it isn’t rescinded, Brooks will be two away from an automatic one-game suspension.

While he did not record a blocked shot, Goodwin’s final stat line was a reminder of what he can provide on a nightly basis. He made the most of his scoring opportunities and was solid as a facilitator and defender. Over the past two weeks, Goodwin has offered 12th-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. He isn’t a must-roster player, but Goodwin can have value in deep leagues.

After putting up 20 three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, Allen chucked up 13 more on Saturday. While the percentage wasn’t the best, getting four three-pointers out of the Suns’ guard is a solid deal for fantasy managers. Allen did wind up with a bloody nose due to his collision with OG Anunoby, but he was still part of the closing lineup. The Suns play four games in Week 14, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Booker didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but his ability to get to the foul line boosted the final points tally. He’s been in a bit of a slump recently, shooting 40 percent from the field over the past two weeks. During that period, Booker has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. The Suns open a four-game Week 14 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday against the Nets and 76ers.

Robinson is usually relied on for points and three-pointers, and he’s upped his production in those categories recently. He’s now made at least four three-pointers in four consecutive games, his most productive stretch of the season to date. Even with Detroit’s depth, there’s a clear need for Robinson due to his shooting ability. That will preserve his value in category leagues.

The Pistons were never challenged on Saturday, so Duren and the other starters played fewer minutes than they usually would.

Detroit led by 34 points at the half, and the margin would grow to a point where none of the starters played during the fourth quarter. That’s unfortunate for Cunningham’s managers, as they may have been counting on a big night from him, given how depleted the Pacers were.

Harris returned to the locker room during the third quarter for an unspecified reason and did not play again. The Pistons did not announce any injury, and Saturday’s blowout made it unlikely that Harris would have played in the fourth quarter if there wasn’t an issue.
