Harris will miss a third straight game with a heel injury. Dennis Schroder received the starting nod for Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies and should remain in that role. Harris’s absence also increases Malik Beasley’s value, despite his coming off the bench.

Williams had a rough afternoon, shooting 3-of-10 from inside the arc. The positive for those who have J-Dub rostered is that he did not add to that issue by turning the ball over, as he did not commit any turnovers. Given where the Thunder are in the standings, ensuring their key players are healthy for the postseason is more important than putting up gaudy stat lines. Oklahoma City’s four-game Week 23 includes a back-to-back, so Williams managers in active leagues may only have him for three games.

The Lakers had an excellent defensive game plan for Sunday’s game, using a variety of looks to limit the Thunder to 99 points. They also successfully defended Gilgeous-Alexander without fouling, as he failed to attempt a free throw in a game for the first time this season. SGA still shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded solid point and assist numbers, so all wasn’t lost for those with the MVP favorite on their rosters. Oklahoma City plays four games during the final week of the regular season, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday.

Duren and Harris were held out of Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies, with Isaiah Stewart and Dennis Schroder replacing them in the starting lineup. While Schroder’s fantasy value is impacted more by Cade Cunningham’s presence in the lineup, Beef Stew’s value will be raised if Duren cannot play, and he gets another start.

Thompson finished Saturday’s defeat with his second double-double in five games and third of the season. Over the past two weeks, the second-year wing has been a sixth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While Thompson may not be a star within the Pistons’ lineup, he’s a “connector,” which has ensured he provides solid fantasy value. For Thompson managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Pistons play four games, and Monday’s matchup with the Kings will be excellent for streaming purposes.

Beef Stew returned to the court on Saturday after a two-game suspension, and he did so as a starter. Jalen Duren (leg) was ruled out shortly before tip-off, so Stewart was inserted into the starting lineup. And he had a productive night, filling the stat sheet in 34 minutes on the court. Duren’s absence also meant Paul Reed remained in the rotation, but he offered limited production in his 11 minutes on the court. Once Duren returns, Stewart will head back to the bench.

Cunningham returned to the Pistons’ lineup on Saturday after missing six games with a calf injury. While the shot was a bit off, he finished one steal shy of a complete stat line. Interestingly, Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff kept Dennis Schroder in the starting lineup, moving Malik Beasley to the bench instead. Schroder (10/2/4 with two three-pointers) was able to preserve some of his fantasy value, and there wasn’t much change for Beasley (11 points, three rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers), either. How long Schroder remains in the starting lineup depends on Tobias Harris, who did not play on Saturday due to a heel injury.

Cunningham is back in the Pistons’ lineup after a six-game absence, pushing Malik Beasley to the bench. However, that isn’t the only change to the starting five. Jalen Duren (leg) is out, resulting in Isaiah Stewart starting his first game back from a two-game suspension. Tim Hardway Jr., Dennis Schroder and Ausar Thompson complete the starting five.

Duren will not be available for Saturday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Isaiah Stewart, who returns from a two-game suspension, is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.

Duren is dealing with a peroneal contusion in his right leg, hence his appearance on the injury report. If he’s unable to play, the Pistons will turn to Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed to fill the void. Stewart is returning from a two-game suspension. If Duren can play, Reed will likely fall out of the rotation.

Harris has been downgraded from questionable to out, which means Dennis Schroder will remain in the starting lineup.

Also worth rostering is Malik Beasley, who will have a key role off the bench.

Cunningham has missed Detroit’s last six games, but he is expected to make his return to the rotation against Memphis. He’ll immediately return to the starting unit, which will push Dennis Schroder back to the bench. That will also take away minutes from Marcus Sasser, who has played well with Cunningham sidelined.

Harris’ recent availability has been incredibly frustrating, making him a difficult player to rely on, even if the Pistons clear him to play. Malik Beasley will continue to start in place of Harris if he is sidelined, but if Harris is available, Beasley will return to playing a reserve role, where he has still had success this season.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s 22 points were his lowest total since he scored 21 points against the Jazz on February 21. The 26-year-old’s typical level of play has reached heights that fantasy managers are miffed when he scores in the low-20s. Gilgeous-Alexander is still arguably the top player in fantasy. He’ll look to bounce back against the Lakers Sunday afternoon.

Williams continues to be an efficient scorer on a night-in and night-out basis. The 23-year-old small forward has made at least 50 percent of his field goal attempts in 10 of his last 11 games. Williams is usually behind star teammates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, but he led the Thunder in points Friday.

Schroder continues to start with Cade Cunningham (calf) out of the lineup. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, this hasn’t been the 31-year-old point guard’s very best stretch of play. Schroder was able to have a solid game with 16 points and seven assists, giving him four straight games with at least seven assists. Schroder will keep starting as long as Cunningham is out and he needs to be rostered in all formats until that stops.

Hardaway Jr. has now had back-to-back games with at least 23 points. With Cade Cunningham (calf) and Tobias Harris (Achilles) out of the lineup, there’s plenty of opportunities for the 33-year-old shooting guard these days. Hardaway Jr. was efficient as he only took 14 shots, but Malik Beasley still might have more potential as he led the Pistons with 20 shot attempts Friday.

Duren absolutely dominated the Raptors Friday with little resistance from the Toronto defense. The 21-year-old center had 21 points on 11 shots, pulled down 18 rebounds and had six assists. All without Cade Cunningham (calf) and Tobias Harris (Achilles) to take attention away from the defense. Duren also blocked four shots to cap a massive evening from the young big man. The four blocks are the most he’s had in a game since March 3 against the Jazz.

No surprise here as Cunningham is set to miss his sixth game in a row with a calf injury. With the Pistons locked into a top-six playoff seed in the Eastern Conference, there’s no reason to push things with their 23-year-old superstar. Dennis Schroder will continue to start in Cunningham’s absence with Marcus Sasser coming off the bench as the backup point guard.

With both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein healthy, Williams wouldn’t have played a large role even if he was healthy. This will be a second-straight absence for him.

Harris missed two games with an Achilles injury before returning Wednesday only to leave the game against the Thunder prematurely.

Cunningham has missed Detroit’s last five games, but he could be back in the lineup against Toronto. They won’t rush him back if he isn’t fully healthy with the playoffs this close, so this certainly isn’t a guarantee that he’ll make his return. Dennis Schroder will continue to start until Cunningham returns, with Marcus Sasser, who will be back after serving a one-game suspension, filling out the backup point guard minutes.

Schroder started his third game in a row in the absence of Cade Cunningham (calf) Wednesday. The 31-year-old point guard didn’t have as good of a game this time around as he had just 15 points on 18 shots and seven assists after going for double-doubles in his previous two games. It’s unclear when Cunningham might return, which likely means more starts for Schroder, who is a must-roster player as long as he’s in the starting lineup.

Hardaway Jr. went off for 23 points and five three-pointers as the Pistons lost by 16 to the Thunder. We’ve seen this movie before as the 33-year-old shooting guard is certainly capable of big games but tends not to sustain this level of production. He might have the opportunity if Tobias Harris, who left Wednesday’s game against the Thunder with an Achilles injury, misses more time. In that case, Malik Beasley would return to the starting lineup, and he’s arguably better than Hardaway in a similar role.

Williams has had at least 20 points in three of four games since returning from a seven-game absence with a strained right hip. The 23-year-old small forward is the third banana on the Thunder after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren but is still capable of scoring at least 20 points with regularity as we’ve seen this season. With Williams doing his part, OKC is running on all cylinders as they head into the playoffs.

Holmgren shook off an off-night against the Bulls where he scored just five points Monday with an excellent bounce back performance against the Pistons Wednesday. The 22-year-old power forward missed all five of his three-point attempts, but was otherwise brilliant as he scored 22 points on 14 shots. He pulled down 11 rebounds and was a beast on the defensive end with five blocks. Holmgren also played 33 minutes, eschewing concerns over his hip injury that caused him to miss a game last week.

Gilgeous-Alexander long ago reached the point where nitpicking a 33-point effort counts as valid criticism. The 26-year-old point guard continued his dominant season against the Pistons Wednesday, though he was just 10-of-26 from the field in the 16-point win. SGA was a factor on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He’s now played eight more games than Nikola Jokic on the season (73 to 65), which could be the deciding factor in who the fantasy MVP is this year.

Harris was ruled out in the second half with right Achilles tendinopathy. The 32-year-old power forward missed the last two games with an Achilles issue and now wasn’t able to finish the game against the Thunder Wednesday. It’s difficult not to be concerned about Harris’ availability going forward. With the Pistons looking ahead to the playoffs, he could take games off even if he’s close to 100 percent healthy. Malik Beasley figures to move into the starting lineup if Harris is unable to start the Pistons next game, which comes Friday against the Raptors.

And with the veteran guard scoring 52 points in his last two outings, this qualifies as one of THJ’s most productive stretches of the season.

Duren recorded his 37th double-double of the season on Sunday and his 13th since the All-Star break. The Pistons’ center offers limited defensive value, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. Over the past two weeks, Duren has been an eighth-round player in nine-cat formats, one round worse than his season-long value.
