While Monk still hasn’t reached the point where he can be considered in some 12-team leagues, the good news is that he’s getting consistent rotation minutes. He’s played at least 19 minutes in seven of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which Monk’s shot 50.6 percent from the field. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much defensive production, which limits Monk’s fantasy potential. For whatever reason, Kings head coach Doug Christie has essentially decided that only one of Monk or Keon Ellis (DNP-CD) can be in the rotation on any given night. It has been Monk’s turn recently, but that could change at any time.

Since scoring 20 points in each of his first two games back after being sidelined by a sprained ankle, LaVine has just one 20-point effort over his last eight appearances. Since returning, the veteran wing has been a ninth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with LaVine’s ADP (61), but things could be a lot worse for those who have him rostered.

Westbrook led the Kings in scoring on Wednesday, but this was also his first game with three assists or fewer in over two weeks. This was also his first game with more turnovers (four) than assists (three) since November 26. The good news for fantasy managers is that Westbrook has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, continuing to exceed expectations.

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.

Achiuwa was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. He’ll be in the starting lineup, playing alongside Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Maxime Raynaud.

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.

LeVert will not be available for Wednesday’s game, leaving the Pistons down two rotation guards since Cade Cunningham is also out. LeVert’s absence will not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but it should lead to more minutes for Ron Holland II.

Added to the Pistons’ injury report on Wednesday afternoon, Cunningham will not play due to a left hip contusion. Jaden Ivey filled in the last time Cunningham missed a game, but he did not play starters’ minutes. With Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser also in the mix for rotation minutes, Ivey isn’t worth the risk in this spot.

Sabonis will get a maintenance day for the second leg of Sacramento’s back-to-back set, and with Achiuwa questionable, Maxime Raynaud could be in line to start against Toronto. Dylan Cardwell would likely be Raynaud’s backup, and Cardwell is worth a look in deeper leagues as a streamer for rebounds and blocked shots.

Cunningham is a late addition to the injury report, so fantasy managers should have a contingency plan prepared. If Detroit’s star point guard is forced to sit this one out, Daniss Jenkins and Jaden Ivey will be in line for additional minutes.

DeRozan’s uptick in fantasy value lately continues. The 36-year-old small forward dropped 23 points in the loss to the Heat on Tuesday. DeRozan has been a second-round player in per game value over the last two weeks. We’ll see if he can keep it going against his former team the Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday.

It was a mixed bag for Westbrook on Tuesday. The 37-year-old point guard had 22 points and seven assists against the Heat, but also turned the ball over six times and was 1-of-6 from behind the three-point line. Westbrook has provided ninth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Kings take on the Raptors Wednesday night for the second game of a back-to-back.

LeVert is a late addition to the Pistons’ injury report. If he were to miss Wednesday’s game, it would not significantly affect fantasy basketball due to the Pistons’ depth on the wings. Ron Holland II and Jaden Ivey could see their minutes increase if LeVert sits.

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.

Ellis has missed the Kings’ last two games with a knee injury, but he’ll return to take on Miami. However, prior to this two-game absence, Ellis averaged under eight minutes per game. He’ll be available, but there is no guarantee he plays enough to be worth streaming.

Added to the injury report early Monday afternoon, Holland is good to go. He’ll provide additional wing depth off the bench but is unlikely to put up the numbers required to achieve fantasy relevance.

Holland is a late addition to the Pistons’ injury report for Monday’s game. While his production hasn’t been good enough to affect fantasy leagues, Holland’s availability does affect the Pistons’ wing rotation.

While his scoring output was limited, DeRozan had a good night as a secondary playmaker. The seven assists were the most in a game for the veteran wing since December 23, when he dished out eight in a loss to the Pistons. Over the past two weeks, DeRozan has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats. He’s providing excellent fantasy value, and it’s good for those who have DeRozan rostered that the Kings play four games in Week 14.

With no Keon Ellis (knee) in the fold, Monk’s place within the Kings’ rotation has remained secure. He’s played at least 16 minutes in six consecutive games, a run in which Monk has surpassed 20 points twice. He didn’t offer much value outside of points, three-pointers and field-goal percentage in Sunday’s defeat, but Monk having a consistent role is good news for those who have him rostered.

Even with Domantas Sabonis (8/8/2 in 20 minutes) back from a knee injury, there has still been room for Cardwell in the Kings’ rotation. The undrafted rookie out of Auburn recorded his first double-double on Sunday, producing a stat line that only lacked a three-pointer. Cardwell is not a player who should be rostered in redraft leagues, but he may be worth holding onto in dynasty formats.

A 20-point scorer in three of his last four games, Westbrook’s efficiency has improved recently. Over the past two weeks, the Kings’ point guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. If not for his shooting 65 percent from the foul line during this stretch, Westbrook would be a top-50 player by a safe margin. The Kings play four games in Week 14, starting with a Tuesday/Wednesday home back-to-back before heading east.

Ellis will sit out again after missing Friday’s matchup with Washington. His absence could mean a few more minutes for Malik Monk.

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. The good news for fantasy managers was that he was productive while on the floor, falling two rebounds shy of a double-double. The Pistons play four games in Week 14, starting with the Celtics on Monday.

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. The good news is that the Pistons play four games in Week 14, and Monday’s matchup with the Celtics should be far more competitive.

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. The Pistons open a four-game Week 14 on Monday against the Celtics, and Isaiah Stewart (7/7/5/1/1 with one three-pointer) would likely be the next man up if Harris can’t play.

Cunningham was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll look to bounce back from shooting 3-of-16 from the field in his first game back from the right wrist contusion on Thursday.
