With Duren back in the lineup after missing the regular-season finale, Detroit will have its regular starting five for Game 1 on Sunday. The Pistons posted their first 60-win season in 20 years en route to securing the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed. They will face a Magic team that is just a couple of days removed from knocking off the Charlotte Hornets in the Play-In Tournament.

The NBA ruled in favor of Cunningham and Doncic on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule. Both players will now be eligible for season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams. Doncic missed two games in December due to the birth of his child and Cunningham suffered a collapsed lung. Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards also filed a challenge, but was denied and is not eligible for awards, according to Charania.

Jackson finished the season strong with 12.7 points per game and 5.3 assists per game in seven games in April. While the 27-year-old guard certainly showed some promise, it still remains to be seen if he’ll factor into the Pacers’ rotation next year when the team is healthy.

Reed started and played 22 minutes with Jalen Duren (knee) out Sunday. The 26-year-old center had another excellent game filling in for the Pistons’ All-Star big man. Reed literally didn’t miss. His ability is an open secret, but fantasy managers will have to wait until Reed has a starting role of his own for his fantasy stock to truly ascend.

Duren is the lone Pistons regular on the injury report for Sunday’s regular-season finale, even though Detroit’s playoff seeding won’t be affected by the outcome.

The expectations for Huff were high entering this season due to the lack of other center options for the Pacers. While he has had the best season of his career, most of his value has been tied to his shot blocking, which has certainly been impressive. He matched his season high for swats in this one, but he also made a contribution on the glass. This was just the third time this season that Huff finished with double-digit rebounds. This was a fun season, but he will likely return to being a depth big behind Ivica Zubac next season.

Potter has started three of the Pacers’ last four games, and in each of those starts, he recorded a double-double. Potter signed a two-year deal with Indiana in December to help fill out some of the minutes at center. He’ll continue to play a significant role for them in their final game of the season on Sunday against the Pistons. However, it is unlikely he plays a significant role next season when the team is fully healthy.

Walker led Indiana in scoring in this game, but it wasn’t enough for them to get a second straight win. Walker has had a strong third season in the league and has taken advantage of the extra opportunity, but he hasn’t been able to shoot efficiently or contribute much defensively. Walker has shown some flashes, but it is difficult to project him playing a significant role when Indiana is healthy next season.

The Pistons played their starters and though Robinson only played 26 minutes he was efficient. The 31-year-old small forward had 19 points on 11 attempts from the field, which included going 3-of-7 from behind the three-point line. Robinson had a solid year with the Pistons and was useful to fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Playing for the second time since returning from a collapsed lung, Cunningham had a very similar game to his return against the Bucks on Wednesday. The 24-year-old point guard had 14 points on 13 attempts from the field and played 28 minutes. When Cunningham is completely healthy, he regularly plays over 30 minutes and takes over 20 shots per game. The Pistons are still taking it easy with their superstar, which is probably wise with Detroit already having clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Duren led the Pistons with 20 points in the win. The 22-year-old center was one rebound shy of a double-double. Detroit already clinched the first seed in the Eastern Conference, but still rolled out its starting lineup. They all played less than 30 minutes, though. Duren is finishing strong, providing fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Pistons wrap up the regular season on Sunday against the Pacers on the road.

Walker was impactful across the board on Thursday — he produced as a scorer, attacked the glass, facilitated, and was disruptive on the defensive end throughout the game. As a result, the third-year forward came close to securing a double-double. Walker has now scored in double figures while securing at least six rebounds and four assists in three of the last four games. He’s contributing in all areas down the stretch of the season and will look to have another productive game on Friday against the Sixers.

Potter performed well in his 23 minutes on Thursday. He was aggressive as a shot-taker, an approach that led him to finish as the team’s second-highest scorer on the evening. However, his domination on the glass was perhaps the most impressive part of the outing; Potter’s 14 boards led all players and marked a new season high. The fifth-year center has played the best basketball of his NBA career this season; he’ll have a chance to finish strong with two games remaining.

Toppin used his 19 minutes of game action well on Thursday, missing just three shots en route to finishing as the only Pacers player with 20 or more points. The sixth-year forward also excelled on the glass and came up just one rebound shy of earning a double-double. He was one of several Indiana players to leave their mark on a game that the Pacers were comfortably in control of from start to finish.

Holland was one of seven Pistons to score in double figures on Wednesday, with the 18 points being the most he’s scored in a game since the season opener against Orlando (19). With Detroit knowing that it will be the top seed in the East when the playoffs begin next weekend, there may be additional opportunities for Holland to score in the team’s final two regular-season games. If so, he may offer added value to those competing in active fantasy leagues.

With the Pistons grabbing control of Wednesday’s game during the second and third quarters, Duren only needed to play 28 minutes against the Bucks. The All-Star center finished one rebound shy of a triple-double, and he’s scored at least 20 points in 33 games this season. By comparison, Duren had four such games last season. At a minimum, he’s on the shortlist of the most improved players in the NBA this season.

Back in the Pistons’ rotation after a 13-game absence with a strained calf, Stewart played 11 minutes off the bench on Wednesday. He didn’t miss a shot against the Bucks, and while the rebounding production was underwhelming, Beef Stew’s mere presence on the court makes a difference for the Pistons. Paul Reed played 10 minutes, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot. Wednesday’s game was one the Pistons won comfortably, which likely impacted Stewart’s minutes. But the focus is on ensuring he’s sharp for the playoffs, which begin on April 18.

Cunningham recorded a double-double in his first game back from a lung pneumothorax that sidelined him for 11 games. More important was the playing time, as he logged 26 minutes without incident. The Pistons have games on Friday and Sunday to end their regular season, so Cunningham will have opportunities to sharpen his skills against competition. However, with the Pistons locked into the top seed in the East, Daniss Jenkins will still play solid minutes in those remaining games. Jenkins finished Wednesday’s victory with nine points, five rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in 21 minutes.

Walker was in the Pacers’ lineup on Tuesday after missing four games with a back injury, and he logged 28 minutes. The five turnovers weren’t good, but the rebounds, assists and steals helped offset them. How Walker goes about finishing this season will be critical regarding his outlook for next season. With the Pacers getting Tyrese Haliburton back and likely adding a lottery pick, the rotation will be far more crowded than it currently is. Walker’s finish may go a long way toward him carving out a role for himself when the Pacers return to full strength.
