Cunningham landed in early foul trouble, but it didn’t matter as the Pistons grabbed control of Friday’s game during the second quarter and never looked back. While fantasy managers will be disappointed that he only played 22 minutes, the Pistons will be pleased that their All-Star guard got some additional rest. The Pistons are done for Week 16 and return to action on Monday against the Hornets.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, Harris knocked down both of his three-point attempts and shot 3-of-6 from the field in the first half. The Pistons continued to roll after halftime, blowing out the Knicks for the second time this season. At this point in his career, fantasy managers know what they’re going to get from Harris. Detroit’s depth has lowered the veteran forward’s ceiling, but he’ll be consistent in his role.

As was the case in the first meeting between the two teams on January 5, Jenkins provided the Pistons with solid contributions off the bench in Friday’s blowout of the Knicks. Active for the 50th game this season, the second-year guard’s 18 points matched his tally in a February 1 win over the Nets. It was reported before Friday’s game that the Pistons are converting Jenkins to a standard contract, and with good reason. While he may not be a significant factor in redraft leagues, the guard is worth stashing in deeper dynasty leagues.

Podziemski was dealing with an illness during Thursday’s win over the Suns, playing just 13 minutes. He’s on track to be available Saturday night, which may result in fewer minutes for Pat Spencer. However, with Stephen Curry (knee) out, Spencer will still figure prominently in the rotation, especially after scoring a career-high 20 points on Thursday.

Jenkins was running up on his 50-game limit as a two-way contract player, so the Pistons needed to get something done. Friday’s game against the Knicks is the 50th that he has been active for this season. The expectation is that Jenkins’ contract will be finalized in time for Monday’s game against the Hornets.

Curry has been dealing with “runner’s knee” for a few weeks. It’s unknown how much longer the star guard will be out, but at the very least, he will miss one more game. Gui Santos has been productive as a spot starter and is worth a look in deeper leagues while Curry sits.

Duren left Thursday’s loss to the Wizards early due to right knee soreness, and he’s in danger of sitting out the second leg of the Pistons’ back-to-back set. If Duren is out, Isaiah Stewart could remain in the starting five after starting in place Tobias Harris on Thursday. Harris (hip) is expected to take the court, and he and Stewart could hold things down in the frontcourt.

While Melton’s production outside of the points category was relatively lean, fantasy managers should not be concerned. He was moved into the starting lineup on Thursday, but his playing time was limited as the Warriors take a measured approach to Melton’s return from a torn ACL. He remains a valuable option in deep category leagues, especially while the Warriors are without Stephen Curry (knee).

Santos has reached double figures in five straight games, with Thursday’s tally being a season-high for the fourth-year forward. Rostered in six percent of Yahoo! leagues, Santos has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While he certainly represents a risky streaming play, Gui will be worth a look in deep leagues ahead of Saturday’s game against the Lakers to end Week 16.

After getting through a trade deadline that appeared to have a significant impact on the team, Golden State picked up one of its best wins of the season in Phoenix. And Spencer was a key contributor, hitting six of the Warriors’ 20 three-pointers and leading five double-digit scorers with a career-high 20 points. The two-way player was inserted into the starting lineup for Thursday’s game, and he may have played well enough to hold onto that role until Stephen Curry (knee) returns. With Brandin Podziemski being limited to 13 minutes because of an unspecified injury — he did return during the third quarter — Spencer’s role may take on added importance in Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Huerter made his Pistons’ debut on Thursday, but he wasn’t on the floor long. He played six minutes during the first half and did not see the floor again. Adding Huerter gives the Pistons another shooter to work into the rotation, but this may be a case where he proves more critical to his new team than to fantasy managers. Which isn’t much of a change from his time in Chicago.

With Jalen Duren not returning for the second half of Thursday’s game due to a sore right knee, Holland joined the starters to begin the third quarter. The second-year wing recorded his first double-double and three “stocks” in what was a productive night. Detroit was also without Tobias Harris for Thursday’s game; how this performance affects Holland’s fantasy prospects moving forward depends on Harris and Duren’s availability.

It’s fair to question if Friday’s showdown with the Knicks was on the Pistons’ minds, as they started slowly in a game the Wizards would lead wire-to-wire. Cunningham did his best to lead Detroit back, scoring a game-high 30 points. Finishing two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double, Cunningham will look to get the Pistons back on track Friday night.

Moody, Santos and Green are the holdovers from the quintet that started Tuesday’s blowout loss to the 76ers. The changes are Spencer and Melton, with Brandin Podziemski and Al Horford moving to the bench. Of the replacements, Melton offers a higher fantasy ceiling in this spot.

This is not an injury designation. Jenkins has played 49 games for the Pistons so far this season, and players on two-way contracts are limited to 50 games played during the regular season. The Pistons are likely holding Jenkins out to preserve his eligibility while working on signing him to a standard contract. Once the trade deadline is finished, we should have a better idea of how the Pistons will be able to convert his contract.

Curry banged knees with a player during Friday’s loss to the Pistons, aggravating a case of “runner’s knee” that has lingered for a bit. Thursday’s game will be the second that he’s missed.

After sitting out Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Horford was back in the starting lineup on Wednesday.

He provided good value in that role on Wednesday, recording a complete stat line that included eight assists and three blocks.

Of the eight Warriors who finished Wednesday’s victory in double figures, five were reserves. That includes Santos, whose 16 points were three shy of his career-high. And while Golden State did lead by as much as 27, his production can’t be credited solely to the game getting out of hand.
