Cunningham was the do-it-all superstar we’ve seen so far for the Pistons this season again Friday. The 24-year-old point guard filled up the stat sheet, leading the way with 29 points and nine assists.

Herro was initially listed as questionable, but was downgraded to doubtful and is unlikely to play against the Magic on Friday.

Cunningham was held below 20 points for the second consecutive game to start December after going the entire month of November without that happening.

Ware’s performance in Dallas was the most recent example that he does not need to start to provide reliable fantasy value. And it was a game that he needed after going scoreless and playing just 16 minutes in Monday’s win over the Clippers. Ware recorded his ninth double-double of the season, and he’s had one in all four games that he’s managed to score at least 20 points. Even with the poor effort against the Clippers, the second-year center has been a top-30 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Since making his season debut on November 24, Herro has scored at least 20 points in all five games. Averaging 23.8 points on 52.4 percent shooting from the field, he has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Herro’s production is a round worse in eight-cat, but fantasy managers aren’t likely to lose any sleep over that. Miami did not have Norman Powell (ankle) on Wednesday, but he has played three of the five games that Herro has been available for. As long as they can stay healthy, both players’ fantasy values should be fine.

Adebayo was one of three Heat players to score at least 20 points on Wednesday, and he’s met or exceeded that number in consecutive games for the first time since late October. Since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him for six games, the Heat center/forward has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. When Miami is whole, which they weren’t on Wednesday (Norman Powell was out), Bam’s ceiling as a scorer may be lower. However, he’s still capable of providing excellent value given his overall skill set.

Adebayo did a little bit of everything in this game. He matched his season high for rebounds and set a new career high for three-pointers in the blowout win over the Clippers.

Things couldn’t have gone much better for Mitchell. He had a pair of turnovers, but he didn’t miss a shot, and he recorded his third double-double of the season. This was also his fifth game with at least 10 assists, including his second straight. Having Tyler Herro back hasn’t taken away from Mitchell. The Heat play faster than anyone in the league, which allows everyone to thrive. Mitchell has been inconsistent, but he remains a player worth rostering in deeper leagues.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) sidelined for the first time this season, Jenkins was able to get the starting nod. He was able to provide rebounds and assists, but it was a rough shooting night for him. He missed all eight of his shots from deep and both of his free throws.

Cunningham wasn’t able to have his typical dominant scoring night, but he got the job done late with a pair of clutch buckets with less than a minute left to turn a tied game in to a four-point lead for Detroit. His scoring output was underwhelming for fantasy managers, but the rest of his night wasn’t. He set a new career high for steals and had more “stocks” than he’s ever had in a single game. It was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to stay hot in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Adebayo has recorded double-doubles in two straight and three of his last four games. With Tyler Herro now in the mix, increased rebounding may be what keeps Bam’s fantasy value where managers hoped it would be before the season began. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (32), and it could be difficult for Adebayo to reach those heights. He’ll look to prove otherwise, starting with Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Herro shot the ball well from beyond the arc, making six of his 11 attempts. However, what could have been an even bigger night was short-circuited by a 0-of-6 effort from inside the arc.

With Jalen Duren (leg) unavailable, Isaiah Stewart served as the starting center in Miami. However, while Beef Stew (9/8/1/0/1 in 29 minutes) was solid in his time on the floor, Duren’s absence opened things up for Reed as well. “BBall Paul” recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first occurring in a November 12 win over the Bulls. Unlike Stewart, who can provide tangible fantasy value when Duren is playing, Reed needs an absence to become viable. He should only be added if Duren misses more time. Detroit opens a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Hawks.

A double-digit scorer in all five games he’s played since returning from a sprained ankle, Harris had his best night of the season in Miami. He recorded his second 20-point game, exceeding his previous high of 23 (October 29 vs. Orlando). Harris remains outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, but that’s due mainly to the sprained ankle and time that he missed. He isn’t a prolific fantasy option, but Tobias will provide reliable value when available. The Pistons play four games during Week 7.

For the first time since being traded to Detroit during the offseason, Robinson played against the Heat in Miami on Saturday. And he played well, scoring 18 points, the most he’s had in a game in over two weeks. Robinson has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats this season, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (141). With Jaden Ivey (9/2/1 with one three-pointer) still under a minutes restriction, playing time won’t be an issue for Robinson for the time being, preserving his fantasy value.

While Cunningham had another high-turnover night, committing eight, he continued to make big plays down the stretch. The Pistons’ point guard leads the NBA in fourth-quarter points, and while he only made two shots in the fourth on Saturday, Cade’s jumper with 20.2 seconds remaining gave Detroit a four-point lead. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long value. The Pistons play four games in Week 7, starting with the Hawks on Monday.
