Already without Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart, the Pistons won’t have Ausar Thompson for Monday’s game, either. He’ll be replaced in the starting lineup by Green, who’s worth a look in deep leagues due to the matchup and the Pistons’ lack of healthy forwards. Holland, who remains in the starting lineup, will also be worthy of deep-league consideration.

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. With Ron Holland already likely to move into the starting lineup with Tobias Harris (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) out, Javonte Green and Duncan Robinson should see extra minutes in this one.

LeVert is in danger of sitting out the second leg of Detroit’s back-to-back set, and with Isaiah Stewart (knee) and Tobias Harris (knee) sidelined and Ausar Thompson (ankle) questionable, Detroit may have to dig deep down the depth chart to field tonight’s roster.

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.

Like many of his teammates, Coward struggled inside the arc on Sunday, shooting 1-of-6. However, he made half of his six three-point attempts and was active on the boards, recording his second double-double. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Coward is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. The negative in the short term is that Memphis’ three-game Week 4 starts with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back, which may limit Coward’s value. However, he should have staying power in fantasy basketball throughout the season.

While Morant looked better in Friday’s win over the Mavericks, all isn’t fine for the Grizzlies’ point guard. Pestered throughout Sunday’s game by Oklahoma City’s guards, he shot 1-of-11 from inside the three-point line. Add in the foul trouble, and this was a rough night for Morant and those who have him rostered. With the Grizzlies playing three games during Week 4, the hope is that a trip to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday will help Morant rediscover the “joy” he’s claimed to have lost recently.

Jackson didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, and his finishing in the paint was the issue. The Grizzlies forward shot 3-of-8 in the paint, which negatively impacted his overall field-goal percentage. However, the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers were solid, so all wasn’t lost for fantasy managers who have Jackson rostered. He’s providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats, which isn’t the production that many hoped for based on JJJ’s Yahoo! ADP of 36. Memphis plays three games during Week 4, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Already without Tobias Harris, the Pistons will also not have Isaiah Stewart for Sunday’s game. As a result, Holland will make his first start of the season and third of his two-year NBA career.

Jackson Jr. had an unspectacular night overall, but shot efficiently in the 29 minutes he played. He drained a pair of three-pointers in the process and connected on all three of his free throws. Yet, the former Defensive Player of the Year didn’t record any stocks and had very little impact on the glass. His scoring was the only noteworthy contribution from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Coward finished Friday’s win as one of two Grizzlies to reach the 20-point mark. His scoring total came by way of efficient shooting and solid production from beyond the arc. And a second consecutive game with at least nine rebounds nearly landed the rookie his second double-double of the season. Coward continues to impress and could eventually make his way to the starting unit if he remains productive.

Despite not shooting well from either inside or beyond the arc, Morant volumed his way to his first 20-point game of November. The more impressive part of his outing, however, was how well he made plays for others — the superstar guard set a season high in assists, although the strong facilitating was met with a season-worst seven turnovers. The double-double marked the second of the season for Morant, as he helped the Grizzlies stop a four-game skid.

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.

Cunningham was fantastic in Friday’s win. He tallied at least 30 points for the third straight game and was one of two Pistons to hit that scoring mark against the Nets. Cunningham also notched double-digit assists for the second straight game en route to consecutive double-doubles. The fifth-year guard remains on fire from a production point and continues to add to his strong start to the fantasy basketball season. He’ll have a chance to land a third consecutive 30-point double-double on Sunday against the 76ers.

Ja Morant wasn’t the only culprit in the Grizzlies’ loss to the Rockets on Wednesday. Jackson had his lowest scoring output of the season with nine points on six attempts from the field. This was just the second time in eight games that the 26-year-old power forward shot worse than 50 percent in a game. Jackson is certainly better than this, but if he was more aggressive in getting shots up he wouldn’t have to be so efficient to get his points. If the Grizzlies are going to stop this three-game losing streak from growing, they’re going to need Jackson, who they signed to a max contract this offseason, to step up.

Jackson set his season-high for scoring in a second straight game. After scoring 20 points against Toronto on Sunday, he exceeded that mark against Detroit as the Grizzlies dropped a third straight game.

The Grizzlies’ point guard had a disappointing performance, shooting 3-of-14 from the field and finishing with eight points, one rebound, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes. When asked about his struggles, Morant told the assembled media to “go ask the coaching staff.” According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo challenged Morant’s leadership following the game, to which the point guard responded in a way that prompted the suspension. He’ll miss Sunday’s game against the Raptors, making Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. players to consider grabbing off the waiver wire.

Jackson isn’t the offensive catalyst that Ja Morant is for the Grizzlies, but he’s certainly one of the teams’ best players. The 26-year-old power forward had just two points in the second half as Memphis blew a 14-point halftime lead to the Lakers on Friday. Jackson was also fairly quiet in the other categories as he had four rebounds, one assist and no blocks or steals before he fouled out. He could stand to be more assertive on offense as he only took eight shots in the game while Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Santi Aldama, Cedric Coward and Vince Williams Jr. all took more in a close loss.

The Grizzlies were up by 14 at halftime, but Morant had trouble scoring all night and outright failed to score in the second half. The 26-year-old point guard is playing through an ankle injury, which could be contributing to him scoring above 23 points only twice in six games. Morant isn’t known for his three-point shooting, but he’s 5-for-30 from behind the three-point line so far.
