Sasser is officially available to make his season debut on Saturday, improving Detroit’s depth on the perimeter. However, he’s unlikely to get the run needed to impact fantasy basketball. Daniss Jenkins may fall out of the rotation entirely with Sasser available.

Harris will not play on Saturday after logging 31 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers. Isaiah Stewart is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, and Beef Stew would be worth a look in deep leagues.

Mitchell is dealing with groin tightness and will not play on Saturday. Dru Smith will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup. With Tyler Herro also out, Smith is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Sasser is closing in on his season debut, which is likely to come Saturday against the Bucks given his probable listing. The 25-year-old point guard will improve the Pistons’ depth, but isn’t relevant for fantasy managers.

Harris had 10 points in 31 minutes in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday. Isaiah Stewart could move into the starting lineup if Harris sits out the second game of a back-to-back against the Bucks on Saturday.

Mitchell’s groin injury is new compared to the rest of the injuries the Heat are dealing with. With Mitchell, Tyler Herro (toe) and Pelle Larsson all on the injury report as questionable at best, Jaime Jaquez Jr. could end up starting and is worth streaming.
MIA • Guard • #9

Larsson would likely be in line for another start Saturday with Tyler Herro (toe) doubtful, but he’s questionable himself with a hip injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard has just nine points over his last three contests and isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Powell missed Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks, but returned Friday against the Magic and had 28 points. With Tyler Herro (toe) doubtful, Powell will have the reigns of the Heat offense once again Saturday against the Kings.

Herro missed Friday’s game against the Magic with a toe injury and is now doubtful for Saturday against the Kings. If the 25-year-old point guard is out again, Pelle Larsson will start while Norman Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr. see a boost in fantasy value.

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. Cunningham is also getting it done on the defensive end, where he has 10 steals in three games so far this week. The Pistons close out the week with a matchup against the Bucks on Saturday.

Powell dropped 28 points with Tyler Herro (toe) out against the Magic on Friday. The 32-year-old shooting guard took on another big time scoring role, though both players’ fantasy values should be fine when both are healthy.

Sasser was close to making his season debut, but he will have to wait at least one more game. It will be great to see him back, but his role will likely be too small for him to be rostered in standard leagues.

Robinson will be back after a two-game absence, which will push Daniss Jenkins back to the bench. Jenkins had been effective as a starter in the past, but this was a rough two-game stretch for him. He’ll lose the streaming upside he held as a reserve.

Powell will replace Tyler Herro (toe) in the starting lineup, so the main change here is Ware replacing Pelle Larsson in the starting unit. Larsson had started the last game with Powell out but won’t hold much value as a reserve. Ware should be in for a big night as a starter.

Powell is set to return on Friday against the Magic after missing Wednesday’s loss against the Mavericks. With Tyler Herro (toe) listed as doubtful, Powell is in line to run the offense for the Heat. Pelle Larsson will likely return to the bench with Powell back.

Herro was initially listed as questionable, but was downgraded to doubtful and is unlikely to play against the Magic on Friday. If the 25-year-old point guard is ultimately ruled out, Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will see extra minutes. Norman Powell would also see a boost in fantasy value without Herro.

Powell did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Mavericks, resulting in Pelle Larsson making the start. However, he struggled and only played 23 minutes. If Powell remains out, Larsson would only be worth a look in deep leagues if Tyler Herro (toe) is also sidelined. He’s considered questionable for Friday.

Herro is dealing with irritation in his right big toe, hence his appearance on the injury report. If he’s unable to play, Norman Powell (ankle) could fill the void, but he is also questionable for Friday night. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. would also be in line to provide added fantasy value if Herro and Powell can’t play.

Sasser, who has been out with a right hip impingement, could be available to make his season debut on Friday. However, that does not guarantee that he’ll play rotation minutes, especially with the Pistons mainly being healthy. Unless you’re in a dynasty league, there’s no need to roster Sasser right now.

Robinson has missed Detroit’s last two games, resulting in Daniss Jenkins moving into the starting lineup. However, the second-year guard has effectively split minutes with Caris LeVert, and the production has not been good enough for him to be worth the risk in most redraft leagues.

Klintman will miss another game, and he has been out since November 14. Unless competing in a deep dynasty league, there’s no reason to consider stashing him in an IL+ slot.

Cunningham was held below 20 points for the second consecutive game to start December after going the entire month of November without that happening. The 24-year-old point guard had an off-night from behind the three-point line going 1-of-7 from behind the arc. Cunningham had just two turnovers and was +7 in 35 minutes in the four-point loss.

Harris has now had at least 20 points in two of his last three games. That’s a good sign for the 33-year-old small forward who returned from an ankle injury last month. Harris is a reliable fantasy option when healthy.

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.
MIA • Guard • #14

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.
MIA • Center-Forward • #13

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.

Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during Monday’s win over the Clippers, but he is healthy enough to play and start in Dallas. Norman Powell (ankle) is out despite the Heat listing him as active, which means Larsson will start after coming off the bench on Monday.

Larsson left the first half of Monday’s game against the Clippers with a sprained right foot. The good news is the 24-year-old shooting guard won’t miss more time due to injury. Larsson could even see additional minutes with Norman Powell (ankle) out Wednesday.

Robinson will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, which should mean Daniss Jenkins remains in the starting lineup. While his ceiling as a scorer is limited playing alongside Cade Cunningham, Jenkins can be helpful to managers needing rebounds and assists when allowed to start.

Robinson missed a game for the first time this season on Monday, which opened the door for Daniss Jenkins to start in his place.

If Robinson remains out, Jenkins will be worth streaming.

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. This was his highest scoring output since October, but he has been a consistent source of offense for Miami. Adebayo has been a big reason for Miami’s success this season, and he’ll look to keep that going in Dallas on Wednesday.

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.

Playing against his former team, Powell was able to have a big night to help the Heat get back on track after losing to the Pistons on Saturday. Powell has shined in his first year with Miami, and the return of Tyler Herro hasn’t slowed him down. He’ll look to stay hot in Dallas on Wednesday in what will be the second game of a four-game week.

After a one-game absence due to a left leg contusion, Duren was back in the lineup and made his presence felt immediately. He was Detroit’s leading rebounder and helped the Pistons dominate the glass; they won the rebounding matchup 60-34. Duren has a double-double in four straight games and will look to keep that going against the Bucks on Wednesday.

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. Jenkins has typically been productive as a starter, so this performance shouldn’t make anyone shy away from him as a streamer next time he gets to start.

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.

Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during the first half of Monday’s game. While the Heat have the depth needed to account for his absence if the second-year wing misses time, this is an injury that could keep Larsson out for multiple games. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio may be the ones who absorb the minutes that would have gone to Larsson.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) missing a game for the first time this season, Jenkins will return to the starting lineup. Jenkins was elite as a starter in place of Cunningham earlier this year, and while he won’t see the same boost as a fill-in for Robinson, he should still be worth streaming. Duren’s return also pushes Isaiah Stewart back to the bench.

LeVert is good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. With Duncan Robinson (ankle) inactive, there may be a few more minutes available to LeVert.

Initially probable for Monday’s game after missing Saturday’s win over the Heat, Duren is officially good to go.

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. Herro shot better than 69 percent from two in his first two appearances of the season, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned. The Heat open a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Clippers.

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.
