After recording 13 assists in Thursday’s win over the Nets, Cunningham was even better against the Grizzlies. The Pistons’ star point guard racked up 15 helpers on Friday, the second time in three games that he’s hit that number. Cunningham also brought more to the table as a scorer, getting into double figures after scoring eight points on Thursday. He’ll likely run into greater resistance when the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Duren was dominant on Friday, an unsurprising development, given the Grizzlies’ lack of interior depth and size. The Pistons center made 80 percent of his shot attempts, and the double-double was his 33rd of the season and second in as many nights. For fantasy managers, they’ll get another game out of Duren as the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Already without Ausar Thompson, the Pistons won’t have Tobias Harris for Friday’s game. Green moves into the starting lineup and is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues. Due to Thompson’s continued absence, Sasser remains in the starting lineup.

Harris is dealing with a hip injury, and his absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Ron Holland is a potential replacement and would be worth streaming in deep leagues given the opportunity and matchup.

LeVert is back after a three-game absence, and he’ll take on his usual reserve role. With Ausar Thompson still out, there may be a few more minutes available than usual, but the Pistons expect to get their starting wing back soon. For Friday’s game, Kevin Huerter may lose out on a few minutes with LeVert available.

Cooper is dealing with a sprained right ankle. His potential absence would not affect fantasy basketball, especially with Trae Young and Bub Carrington being available.

Thompson will likely sit out another game which should clear the way for Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland II to see additional playing time. Thompson’s next chance to take the court will come on Sunday against the Raptors.

LeVert is on track to return from a three-game absence, and he should handle his normal workload. Kevin Huerter could see his playing time decrease as a result.

Like Trae Young, Sarr’s playing time has been limited, with the second-year center logging 23 minutes on Thursday. However, that’s all the time he needed to record two steals and five blocked shots, excellent production for category league managers. The Wizards play once more in Week 20, and they begin Week 21 with a back-to-back, which is a concern for Sarr managers.

Young played 21 minutes on Thursday, finishing with solid numbers in points and assists. While the minutes limit does the point guard no favors in terms of fantasy value, getting some production from Young is better than not having him on the floor at all. The Wizards end their week with a game against the Celtics on Saturday, another challenging matchup for Young and his new team.

One game removed from being on the wrong end of a historic performance by Miami’s Bam Adebayo, the Wizards bounced back with a solid effort in Orlando. Coulibaly, whose banked-in three-pointer with five seconds remaining in regulation sent the game into overtime, led the way. His 29 points were a career-high, with the Wizards’ wing recording a complete stat line. Scoring hasn’t been Coulibaly’s best attribute, so fantasy managers should not expect Thursday’s effort to become the norm. However, there should be more room for him to put up numbers as the Wizards close out their season.

Seven Pistons finished Thursday’s 131-107 victory in double figures, with the reserves getting a little more playing time due to the game getting out of hand. However, Green didn’t need “garbage time” to have one of his most productive games of the season. The 17 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 5 blowout of the Knicks, and he scored eight in the third quarter. Friday’s game against the Grizzlies may be another opportunity for Green to put up solid numbers against a shorthanded opponent.

The Pistons were able to pull away from the 76ers in the third quarter, despite Cunningham having a limited impact as a scorer. The All-Star guard attempted just six shots in the night, a season-low, with this being the second time he’s failed to put up at least ten. The good news is that Cunningham recorded 13 assists, the fifth time in the last six games that he’s dished out ten or more.

Duren found himself in early foul trouble on Thursday, and that, combined with the blowout, conspired to limit the Pistons’ center to 15 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers was that Duren recorded his first double-double in three games and 32nd of the season. With the Pistons hosting the Grizzlies on Friday, that’s another game where Duren’s playing time could be limited due to the competition.

Given how banged-up the 76ers were entering Thursday’s game, this was an opportunity for some of the Pistons’ unheralded options to put up better numbers than usual. Robinson’s 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over a month, and he last made five triples in a February 21 win over the Bulls. Robinson’s four assists were a nice bonus, but he remains a three-point specialist in fantasy leagues.

Carrington had been questionable despite playing 36 minutes against the Heat on Tuesday, but the 20-year-old will be able to suit up after all. However, with Trae Young (knee) not on the injury report, Carrington will head back to the bench, where he’ll play around 20-23 minutes.

Injured during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Thompson has not appeared in a game since. Marcus Sasser has moved into the starting lineup, but Thompson’s absence has also resulted in more minutes for Ron Holland II. Holland offers a slightly higher short-term fantasy ceiling while the Pistons await Ausar’s return.

LeVert has missed the two games with a sprained left wrist, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a third on Thursday. Kevin Huerter’s playing time has increased in recent games, and he should continue to play rotation minutes off the bench due to LeVert’s injury.

Watkins is back after a four-game absence, which led to more rotation minutes for Leaky Black. Neither player is worth the risk in redraft leagues, but there should be playing time available to both due to Kyshawn George’s elbow injury.

On the same night that Bam Adebayo scored 83 points, Duren had 26 points in 23 minutes in the blowout victory over the Nets. The 22-year-old center was 9-of-10 from the field and 8-of-10 from the free throw line. The Pistons cleared their bench with the game out of reach in the second half, but Duren still had a great game. He’s provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Johnson’s offensive production has picked up recently, with the rookie having scored at least 15 points in three consecutive games. He was efficient against the Heat, shooting over 50 percent from the field. Unfortunately, the overall stat line was a bit lean on Tuesday. Johnson has the potential to be an impactful option for fantasy managers over the final month, especially in points leagues, as his playing time should be a priority for the Wizards.

Riley led the Wizards in minutes on Tuesday, and he’s scored at least 19 points in four of his last six appearances. Interestingly, the rookie was used in a reserve role in the two games before that, with Leaky Black as the starter. One would think that starting Riley would be a priority for the Wizards the rest of the season, but you never know. Hopefully, Tuesday’s performance convinces the Wizards to leave Riley in the starting five.

The Wizards are still limiting Sarr’s playing time, but he made the most of his 20 minutes on Tuesday. The 28 points are the most in a game for the second-year center since putting up 29 in a January 27 win over the Trail Blazers, and three shy of his season-high. However, as encouraging as this performance was, Sarr’s playing time is a concern for fantasy managers the rest of the season. And with the front office wanting to strengthen its draft lottery odds, there isn’t much incentive to play Sarr heavy minutes.

Coming off a four-game losing streak that included an embarrassing home loss to the Nets with Cunningham out of the lineup, the Pistons were highly motivated for Tuesday’s game against the Nets. Cunningham was able to produce 21 points, 15 assists and four three-pointers in just 26 minutes in the 138-100 victory. The Pistons have three more games this week, starting with a matchup against the 76ers on Thursday.

Riley will return to the starting unit after coming off the bench the last two games. Leaky Black started on Sunday, but he will be in the G League and unavailable for this game. Carrington returns to the starting unit with Trae Young (knee) sitting this one out.
