Duren is good to go after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. He’ll be in the starting lineup, with Paul Reed heading back to the bench. Joining Duren in the starting five are Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland II, Duncan Robinson and Daniss Jenkins. Reed is worth holding onto in deep leagues since Duren and Stewart are starting, but his ceiling is limited.

George knocked down five of 10 attempts from beyond the arc, finishing just shy of his second 30-point outing of the season. It was an impressive individual showing, but it wasn’t enough to keep Washington from dropping its 11th straight game, falling to 1-12 on the year. The 21-year-old has averaged 19.7 points over his last three contests, performing at roughly a fifth-round level for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Wizards will attempt to turn things around this week when they face the Timberwolves, Raptors and Bulls in road tilts.

There simply weren’t a ton of bright spots for the Wizards in this one as McCollum was one of just three Wizards in double figures during a one-sided defeat at the hands of the rebuilding Nets. The veteran point guard has scored just 27 points combined over his past two games after exploding for 42 points against the Pistons earlier this week.

Even with the Pistons being shorthanded in the frontcourt, Klintman’s absence will not impact fantasy basketball. Tolu Smith has been productive recently, but that isn’t enough to make him a trustworthy player in most fantasy leagues. Also, Jalen Duren (ankle) is probable for Monday, so there may not be many minutes available to Smith.

Duren has been sidelined for Detroit’s last two games with a sprained right ankle, with Paul Reed replacing him in the starting lineup. With Tobias Harris (ankle) still out, Reed should get minutes off the bench if Duren returns. Isaiah Stewart started alongside Duren before the starting center’s ankle injury, which frees up additional minutes for Reed as the third big.

After a four-game absence, Coulibaly is available to play. Rookie Tre Johnson is the player most likely to move to the bench if Coulibaly starts, although Khris Middleton may also be a candidate.

Coulibaly has missed Washington’s last four games, but there is a chance he returns to take on Brooklyn.

There is also a chance Coulibaly doesn’t start, though that hasn’t happened since he was a rookie.

Even with Isaiah Stewart back from injury, Reed got the start with Jalen Duren (ankle) still out. The 26-year-old center didn’t have 28 points again like he did Wednesday, but he was still a factor on the glass with eight rebounds and on defense with two steals and three blocks. Reed is going to have value whenever one of Stewart or Duren are out this year.

Jenkins was once again a factor for the Pistons on their nine-game winning streak. The 24-year-old point guard made five three-pointers and had eight assists. Over the last three games, Jenkins is averaging 20.3 points, 7.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds. He’s shown more than any Pistons backup point guard in years and is trending towards having earned a standard contract. Jenkins is worth rostering given the Pistons’ precarious health situation.

While George didn’t produce the best field-goal percentage on Wednesday, fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the rebounds, assists and steals. The nine assists were a career-high for the second-year wing, who is ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. While some pinpointed George as a potential breakout candidate during the offseason, few expected him to be as valuable as he’s been thus far.

Sarr finished Wednesday’s defeat with his second consecutive double-double and fourth of the season. The second-year center has also scored 20 points or more in five games, as he continues to exceed the expectations of most fantasy managers. Sarr is providing second-round value in eight-cat formats, well ahead of his Yahoo! ADP (83). About the only thing that would derail Sarr at this point would be an injury. With the Wizards rebuilding, his playing time will be secure for the entire season.

With Cade Cunningham (hip) ruled out less than an hour before tipoff, Jenkins was called on to make his first start in 14 appearances as an NBA player. He was up to the task, not only recording a career-high in assists but hitting double digits in that category for the first time. Jenkins only committed three turnovers, stepping up in a big way for the few fantasy managers willing to slot him into their lineups.

With Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart among the seven Pistons ruled out for Wednesday’s game, Reed made his first start since the 2023-24 campaign. And “BBall Paul” made up for lost time, finishing two points and one rebound shy of his career-highs in those categories. Add in the assists and defensive stats, and this was a great night to stream Reed. His fantasy value moving forward depends on the availability of Duren and Stewart, but inexperienced fantasy managers now know to stream Reed when those two are out.

Given how shorthanded the Pistons were on Wednesday, Robinson’s shot volume was bound to increase. What did not change was the types of shots he took, with 10 of the veteran wing’s shots coming from beyond the arc. Robinson made seven, establishing season-highs in points and three-pointers. Over his last three games, he’s shot 14-of-28 from distance, and Robinson has made at least three triples in six of his last seven. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided eighth-round per-game value during this seven-game stretch.

Sarr came up big for Washington in this game and was able to turn in a strong line across the board. Overall this season, his rebounding has been improved, but the last two games have been rough in that department; he matched his season-low for boards in this one.

However, he was able to contribute off the bench in this game and set a new season-high for points. Still, outside of the buckets, he only contributed three boards. That’s it. Whitmore is a talented scorer, but until he is able to contribute in other areas, his upside and minutes will both be limited.

Unsurprisingly, Sarr struggled on the glass against Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. However, the second-year center shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded four blocks, continuing to make strides on both ends of the floor. Sarr’s start to the season has been very encouraging, but there’s still room for improvement. Can he be a top-50 fantasy player for the entire season? Yes. But, for those who don’t believe in Sarr that much, now would be a good time to see what selling high can fetch on the trade market.

Having shot 3-of-19 from the field and 1-of-10 from three in his two previous games, McCollum was looking to snap out of that funk. Mission accomplished, as he shot 50 percent from the field and led the Wizards in scoring. Thirteen of his 16 shot attempts were from beyond the arc, and he has a three-point attempt rate of nearly 55 percent through nine games. When the shots are falling at a solid clip, as they were on Friday, that’s a nice deal for those who have McCollum rostered.

While it’s still early in the 2025-26 season, Sarr’s progress from Year 1 to Year 2 has been impressive. He was one of the few bright spots in Wednesday’s blowout loss, continuing an excellent run to begin the season. Sarr is providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats thus far, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a fantasy manager who expected this level of production. While some may be tempted to sell high, his role is such that Sarr can still provide excellent value, and he won’t be a shutdown risk on this rebuilding team.
