Mere minutes after being announced as a starter, Robinson has been ruled out with a right wrist injury. Kevin Huerter moves into the lineup, joining Daniss Jenkins, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren. Huerter is worth streaming for managers needing three-point production.

Listed as probable for Thursday’s game, Robinson was the last of the listed Pistons to be cleared to play. Detroit will once again go with a lineup of Robinson, Daniss Jenkins, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren as they await Cade Cunningham’s return from a collapsed lung.

Black may not have done much scoring on Wednesday, but the overall line would have category league managers salivating if recorded by a more established player. In six prior appearances this season, he totaled three steals and four blocks. Against the Jazz, Black was responsible for three steals and three blocks while also recording seven rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers. Since Black is not guaranteed to be active every night as a two-way contract player, he should not be rostered in redraft leagues.

Hardy has reached double figures in each of his last five games, putting up 20 or more in the last two. While he doesn’t do enough in the other categories to be worth the risk in most category leagues, there could be some value gained in deep points leagues. However, Hardy is not a must-add player by any means since he is still coming off the bench.

Reese fell one point shy of a 20/10/5 stat line, but few fantasy managers are going to lose any sleep over that. The rookie wing’s double-double was his second as a pro, and he posted the numbers on solid percentages. Also, Riley combined with fellow rookie Julian Reese to become the first Wizards rookie duo to post double-doubles in the same game since John Wall and Jordan Crawford on March 23, 2011, against the Clippers.

While Reese started four of his first five games as a Wizard, Wednesday was his first appearance since March 16 due to his status as a two-way contract player. The rookie forward made the most of his opportunity, scoring a season-high 26 points while grabbing 17 rebounds. Reese’s opportunities depend on the availability of Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukčević, both of whom were out on Wednesday. The next time that happens, fantasy managers should not hesitate to stream Reese.

Harris shot over his man to tie the Hawks with nine seconds left in regulation. The 33-year-old small forward found himself in a similar situation at the end of overtime, but with the Pistons down he missed a baseline jumper. Jalen Duren got the offensive rebound, but also missed from close range. Harris was on the injury report as he’s been dealing with a hip injury, which puts his status up in the air for Thursday’s game against the Pelicans.

Duren had an excellent game for fantasy purposes with 26 points, 14 rebounds and going 8-of-9 from the free throw line. With the Pistons trailing by one at the end of overtime, though, the 22-year-old center missed a shot from point blank range after grabbing an offensive rebound. Given Detroit is still likely to earn the top seed in the Eastern Conference, Duren’s status for Thursday’s game against the Pelicans could be in question after playing 42 minutes against the Hawks.

The Wizards have made two changes to their starting lineup for Wednesday’s game. Reese will start for the injured Tristan Vukčević, while Black steps in for Jamir Watkins, who will come off the bench. Reese has a 20-rebound game to his credit this season, and he’s worth streaming in deeper leagues for this matchup.

Despite dealing with an ankle issue, Green will suit up on Wednesday and look to provide an impact off Detroit’s bench. The veteran guard is averaging 6.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season. He’s unlikely to make a notable impact from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Harris is good to go after being listed as probable on the injury report released by the Pistons on Wednesday afternoon.

Duren was upgraded to probable Wednesday afternoon, so his availability against the Hawks isn’t a surprise. The 22-year-old center continues to manage right knee soreness and with this being the first game of a back-to-back it’s possible Duren won’t play against the Pelicans on Thursday. With Isaiah Stewart (calf) still sidelined, Paul Reed will backup Duren on Wednesday.

Stewart has been out since March 13 with a strained left calf, and the Pistons have not provided a concrete return timeline. According to Bickerstaff, while he is progressing, this is a situation the Pistons will “take our time with.” Paul Reed has played consistent rotation minutes as Jalen Duren’s backup, and that won’t change until Stewart returns.

Jenkins hit a baseline jumper with less than 30 seconds left in regulation to put the Pistons ahead for good. Detroit is 9-2 when Jenkins starts this year. While his scoring can be inconsistent, he should provide assists and steals at an excellent clip for the rest of the season.

After racking up eight assists in a March 14 loss to the Celtics, Carrington totaled ten in the four games that followed. While that stretch included a 30-point night, Bub’s growth as a playmaker for others is one of the key storylines for the Wizards over the last month of the season. And that’s with it being clear that Trae Young will be running the show in the future. Carrington recorded eight assists and three turnovers, a solid night despite it occurring in a blowout defeat. The Wizards play three games in Week 22, starting with the Jazz on Wednesday.

Due to the many absences from the Wizards’ rotation, Hardy was given more room to contribute offensively on Sunday. A double-digit scorer in four straight and seven of his last eight appearances, the 25 points are a new season-high for the fourth-year guard. While Hardy has been on a good run recently, his opportunities aren’t a priority compared to Will Riley (11/1/4 with one three-pointer) or, when healthy, Tre Johnson. Redraft league managers should leave Hardy on the waiver wire.
