Due to their many absences, the Pistons are rolling out a lineup that has shared the court for a total of zero minutes. Jenkins and Reed join the starters, filling in for Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. And they’re worth streaming in this spot, as the Pistons are also without Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart.

Duren and Cade Cunningham were absent from Pistons shootaround Wednesday morning. The 21-year-old center sprained his ankle in the final minute of Monday’s overtime victory over the Wizards. With the Pistons dealing with a laundry list of other injuries, it would be no surprise if they gave their two young stars the night off Wednesday. Paul Reed would likely start if Duren is ruled out.

Coming off the bench for the second straight game, Collier was excellent in his 26 minutes. Not only did the second-year guard record his first double-double of the season, but he also committed only two turnovers. Collier’s ability to get others involved is what gives him value in deeper fantasy leagues, even if he continues to come off the bench. On Tuesday, he picked up the slack for starter Keyonte George (10/5/7), who shot 3-of-12 from the field. Given how well George has played overall, the starting point guard job should be his for the foreseeable future. However, as evidenced by Tuesday’s performance, that does not prohibit Collier from providing reliable fantasy value.

Bailey has hit double figures in three straight games, but Tuesday’s performance was his best by far. The rookie notched his first 20-point game and was efficient in doing so, shooting over 50 percent from the field and only committing one turnover. While some fantasy managers may lament the lack of defensive stats, Bailey entered Tuesday with totals of six steals and one blocked shot. For now, hope that the rookie can continue to put forth efficient offensive outings in his new role.

The shorthanded Pacers had no answer for Markkanen, as he recorded his first 30-point game since Halloween. After a four-game run in which he scored at least 32 points in each outing, the Jazz forward entered Tuesday averaging 21.4 points on 38.5 percent shooting in his last five. Markkanen may not have provided much value outside of the points, three-pointers and percentages, but most fantasy managers will take this performance. Utah still has two games remaining on its Week 4 schedule, beginning with the Hawks on Thursday.

Initially probable for Wednesday’s game with a left hip contusion, Cunningham has been downgraded to questionable. With Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart already out, Detroit could be down four rotation players against Chicago, including their most important. Daniss Jenkins would likely move into the starting lineup if Cunningham can’t play.

Thompson’s sprained right ankle will sideline him for a second straight game. Javonte Green filled the resulting void in the starting lineup on Monday and should do the same against the Bulls. He finished the win over Washington with 19 points, 14 rebounds and five assists and is worth streaming in deep leagues.

The probable tag suggests that Cunningham’s left hip contusion is not severe enough to keep him out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game. If he has to miss time, Daniss Jenkins would be the next man up after scoring 24 points in Monday’s win over the Wizards. The only reason to add Jenkins would be if Cunningham’s status were to be downgraded after shootaround.

George is proving to be an excellent scorer. He’s had at least 25 points in three of his last five games. George’s 27 points ultimately weren’t enough to keep up with Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves as Lauri Markkanen was the only other Jazz player with at least 20 points. The Jazz play the Pacers on the second night of a back-to-back on Tuesday.

Duren broke a streak of three consecutive games with at least 20 points. The 21-year-old center had five turnovers after having seven total turnovers in his last five games. Otherwise, Duren was a force on the boards with 14 rebounds and had two steals on the defensive end. The Pistons will given Duren every chance to continue his hot start to the season given the injuries they’ve had up and down the roster. He’ll be back in action on Wednesday against the Bulls.

Jenkins turned out to be the big winner from the Pistons missing multiple starters on Monday against the Wizards. Ron Holland got another start, but only played 24 minutes while Javonte Green and Jenkins each played at least 34 minutes. Jenkins could be in line for a similar role on Wednesday against the Bulls depending on who can return from the injured list for the Pistons.

Cunningham simply refused to let the Pistons lose to the Wizards on Monday night. The 24-year-old point guard helped the shorthanded Pistons improve to 9-2 with a 46-point triple-double. Cunningham joined Michael Jordan as the only players ever to have at least 40 points in a triple-double and also record five steals. He put the team on his back while the Pistons deal with a laundry list of injuries. Detroit has two more games this week, the first coming on Wednesday against the Bulls.

Four of Utah’s five starters from Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves are unchanged. The lone change is Bailey, who replaces Isaiah Collier in the lineup to make his first career start. While the rookie hasn’t provided much fantasy value thus far, the opportunity to start raises his fantasy ceiling. That said, Bailey will be more valuable during the “silly season” than he is right now.

Already without Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart, the Pistons won’t have Ausar Thompson for Monday’s game, either.

LeVert had 14 points and four three-pointers in 20 minutes off the bench in the Pistons’ victory over the 76ers on Sunday. The 31-year-old will miss the second game of the back-to-back on Monday against the Wizards. With Tobias Harris, Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson all out as well, Detroit could feature Daniss Jenkins, Chaz Lanier and Bobi Klintman. Fantasy managers in standard leagues will have to look elsewhere for value.

Thompson had 14 points in the Pistons’ win over the 76ers on Sunday. The 22-year-old small forward will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back against the Wizards on Monday.

Harris is progressing day-to-day, according to Bickerstaff. It’s unclear when fantasy managers can expect Harris back on the court again.

Robinson has made multiple three-pointers in eight of his ten games this season, with Sunday’s tally of four matching his previous high. On most nights, he’s essentially a points and three-pointers option for fantasy managers, so there isn’t much value to be had when the shots aren’t falling. However, Robinson recorded three steals against the 76ers, matching his total entering Sunday. Caris LeVert (14 points, three rebounds, one block and four three-pointers) also shot the ball well from deep on Sunday, but he also brings a relatively low fantasy ceiling to the table on most nights.

Duren was a force in the paint on Sunday, leading all players with 16 boards while shooting an impressive percentage from the field. Add in the four “stocks,” and this was another excellent night to have the Pistons center rostered. Through ten games, of which Detroit has won eight, Duren is providing top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 56. He’ll look to continue this hot start on Monday when the Pistons face the rebuilding Wizards.

While Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey may have outscored him in Sunday’s exciting duel, Cunningham did enough to ensure his team left with the win. He shot 8-of-11 from the field after halftime, including a fourth-quarter poster dunk and a turnaround jumper that gave the Pistons a three-point lead with 16.9 seconds remaining. Detroit, which has won six straight, is off to its best start to a season in 20 years, and Cunningham has led the way. The Pistons play three games during Week 4, but none after Friday.

Thompson remained solid for the Pistons on Friday, getting involved in several areas of the game to help key Detroit’s fifth straight win. The versatile wing scored six of his points in the opening frame and also collected a pair of steals to set the tone early. He collected multiple steals for the fourth time this season and logged his sixth game with at least one steal and block. Thompson continues to be productive on both ends of the floor and should remain impactful as the season moves forward.

On the heels of a dominant 20-point, 20-rebound performance against the Jazz, Duren once again logged a massive double-double on Friday in a Pistons victory. The fourth-year center utilized efficient shooting to reach the 30-point mark for the second time this season while collecting double-digit rebounds for the fifth time. He has made a massive leap as a scorer this year, which has been aided by improvements in volume and accuracy from the free-throw line. His strong start to the season has played a big role in Detroit’s early success.

In one of those games, Markkanen managed to drop 51 points in an overtime victory over the Suns. He’s a career 37.1 percent three-point shooter and shot 37.3 percent from three-point range last year so his shooting should get better soon.

Kessler is set to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. This is a massive blow for the Jazz, who have started the season out better than expected, but it’s also unfortunate for Kessler since he didn’t get an extension this summer.

George has been excellent to start this season, and that continued against Boston as he set a new season-high for scoring. He wasn’t able to dish out as many assists as he has in every other game this season, but he made up for it with a season-low for turnovers and his best field goal percentage of the season.

Hendricks got his first start of the season and ended up being one of Utah’s most productive players. The third-year forward was one of three Jazz players to score in double figures on Sunday, and he was the only starter to shoot at least 50.0 percent from the field.

He performed well in his first start and could be a name to highlight and remember for later in the fantasy season.

George’s hot start to the season continued on Sunday, as he scored at least 25 points for the third time this season and notched at least seven assists for the sixth time. The third-year guard also logged one of his more efficient shooting performances of the season, despite remaining cold from beyond the arc. The three-point shot continues to be one of the few negatives on the season for George, but if he can even land the mediocre efficiency that he produced over the first two seasons of his career, he’ll become even more valuable in fantasy leagues.

Markannen’s four-game streak of at least 30 points came to an end on Sunday, with inefficient shooting from deep and low volume from the free-throw line being some of the biggest factors. Sunday’s outing also marked his lowest field goal percentage of the young season. Still, the veteran forward logged a team-high in points and was one of two players to record more than 20 points. He’s off to a tremendous start to the season and is showing that his lower production last season may be more of an anomaly than anything else.

Mykhailuk and Hendricks will both enter the starting lineup on Sunday, filling in for Kyle Filipowski and Walker Kessler. Neither player’s production has jumped off the page from a fantasy basketball standpoint yet this season, but with starters’ minutes, they could be interesting streaming options as the Jazz look to snap a two-game losing streak.

Making his first official appearance for the Jazz, Anderson logged 25 minutes. Given Utah’s youth, that was surprising to say the least. Anderson’s playing time came at the expense of Kyle Filipowski (two points, two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes), who played the first eight minutes and did not return until the outcome was no longer in doubt. The minutes split was an eye-opening development given Filipowski’s ceiling, especially when compared to Anderson’s.

However, George has played well enough to retain the starting point guard job, even with Friday’s cold shooting night against the Suns. He was active on the boards and dished out nine assists while committing three turnovers. Despite averaging four turnovers per game, George provides top-50 value in nine-cat formats.

While Kessler did his usual work on the glass Friday night, his offensive production was underwhelming. He’s had two offensive duds, the first being a three-point effort against the Kings on October 24. The good news is that Kessler scored 18 or more in his other three outings, taking tangible steps forward on that end of the floor.

While he didn’t provide any defensive production on Friday, fantasy managers don’t roster Markkanen for that reason. It’s the offense, and he’s been on fire to start the season. “The Finnisher” has 32 points or more in four straight games, including a 51-point effort against the Suns on Monday. Markkanen attempted 12 fewer shots on Friday than in the first matchup between the teams, but still dropped 30-plus. Sunday’s matchup with the Hornets could be good for him, as Charlotte is 26th in defensive rating.
