As expected, Cunningham won’t suit up against Orlando, but the initial doubtful tag is an indication that he could be getting closer to a return. With the playoffs start in less than two weeks, that is a good sign, even if he doesn’t play again during this regular season. Daniss Jenkins will continue to start until Cunningham is back.

Stewart, who last appeared in a game on March 13, was initially ruled out for Monday’s game. Paul Reed will lose out on some minutes if Beef Stew returns, but the Pistons are locked into the top seed in the East. If cleared during the regular season, Stewart may only play enough to shake off the rust ahead of the playoffs.

Absent from the Pistons’ initial injury report, LeVert may sit due to bilateral knee injury management. If he can’t play, this may be a spot where rookie Chaz Lanier plays more minutes.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Harris appears to be on track not to play.

While the doubtful tag suggests it’s more likely Cunningham will not return on Monday, the status change is an upgrade. On April 2, it was announced that he would be re-evaluated in a week, so a return before the playoffs may be within reach. Daniss Jenkins has filled in admirably as the starting point guard in Cunningham’s absence, and Jalen Duren has been able to do more facilitating from the center position.

Holmgren only played 22 minutes due to the lopsided score, but the 23-year-old center had an excellent game. He was efficient on offense, adding four three-pointers. Holmgren has provided top-50 per game value over the last two weeks. The Thunder have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Even in a game where the Thunder won by 35 and Gilgeous-Alexander only played 24 minutes, the 27-year-old point guard was able to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to 138. On nights like Sunday, lopsided blowouts where he often sits late, Gilgeous-Alexander has to be efficient to get his numbers. He’s provided just third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Jenkins has hit double digits in assists on four occasions this season, with Saturday’s tally being one shy of his career-high. With the second-year guard filling in for the injured Cade Cunningham (lung), the Pistons have not missed a beat. Saturday’s win guaranteed Detroit the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. For managers whose leagues will still be active, the Pistons play four games in Week 24, and Jenkins is worth rostering.

While Philadelphia’s Tyrese Mazey led all scorers with 23 points, Thompson did an outstanding job of making him work for everything. The 76ers’ point guard was able to get his, but he could not get others going. Maxey was responsible for just one assist, while Thompson recorded three steals and a blocked shot. Add in the points and rebounds, and the Pistons’ wing had a very good night in Philadelphia.

After exiting Thursday’s win over the Timberwolves with a knee contusion, Harris played 27 minutes without issue on Saturday. The 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game since March 25, when he put up 22 in a loss to the Hawks. The win over the 76ers secured for the Pistons the top seed in the East, which could lead to key players getting a little more rest during Week 24.

Duren and Harris are good to go for Saturday’s game after initially being questionable. They’ll take their usual places within the Pistons’ starting lineup.

Back in the Thunder lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the Pistons, Williams played 23 minutes in Thursday’s blowout. The nature of the game helped keep the minutes down for J-Dub and Isaiah Hartenstein (7/6/2/2/2), with the latter playing 20 minutes. With the Thunder hosting the Jazz on Sunday, that’s another game in which the Thunder may get additional rest.

Dort came out scalding hot, shooting 5-of-5 from the field in the first quarter and producing 14 points and four three-pointers. He didn’t score again, but the Thunder are more concerned about the back injury he suffered in the third quarter. Dort’s layup attempt was blocked by Lakers’ forward Jake LaRavia, with the momentum sending the Thunder wing crashing to the court. Dort walked back to the locker room during a timeout moments later and did not return. The game was a blowout, so it made no sense for him to return regardless of the injury’s severity. Still, this is something to watch with the playoffs on the horizon.

As a team, the Thunder knocked down 19 three-pointers in their demolition of the Lakers, and Joe led the way with six. He didn’t provide much outside of the points and three-pointers, but that’s the expectation for those rostering the Thunder reserve. With Luguentz Dort (back) leaving Thursday’s game during the third quarter, Joe is one of the players whose roles could expand for Sunday’s matchup with the Jazz. And that game also has blowout potential with the Jazz focused on player development and their draft lottery odds.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 137 on Thursday, and he did not need to play during the fourth quarter to do so. Oklahoma City led by 30 at halftime and by 45 at the end of the third, giving the reigning MVP additional rest in the final frame. With the Thunder hosting the Jazz on Sunday, fantasy managers hoping for an even bigger night from Gilgeous-Alexander should be fine.

Robinson has made multiple three-pointers in each of his last seven games. The Pistons wing shot 3-of-7 from deep on Thursday, and he also offered solid value in rebounds and assists.

For the first time this season, Jenkins has accounted for at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in consecutive games. After going on a run of four games with at least eight assists, the second-year guard entered Thursday having totaled 15 in his last three. Jenkins’ assist tally against the Timberwolves was improved, and he committed just one turnover. With Cade Cunningham (lung) not being re-evaluated until late next week, Jenkins has a few more opportunities to start in front of him.

Thompson may not offer much as a scorer, but his ability to fill a stat line is why he remains valuable in category leagues. The third-year wing dished out a career-high nine assists on Thursday while also providing excellent value in rebounds, steals and blocks. Over his last three games, Thompson is responsible for 19 assists and six turnovers. He’ll have one more opportunity to fill the stat sheet on Saturday against the 76ers.

After finishing one rebound shy of a fifth consecutive double-double in Tuesday’s win over the Raptors, Duren kicked off a new streak on Thursday. Since March 1, the Pistons’ center has recorded 14 rebounds in four games. And with Cade Cunningham (lung) out, Duren has been able to do more facilitating within the Pistons’ half-court offense. He’s recorded at least three assists in each of his last six appearances. The last time Duren did that was in mid-November. Detroit plays once more in Week 23, as they visit the 76ers on Saturday.
