Duren was limited to 21 minutes in Friday’s win over the Warriors due to foul trouble. The 22-year-old center bounced back with 20 points and 11 rebounds in 33 minutes in a close win over the Lakers on Monday. Paul Reed only played 15 minutes even without Isaiah Stewart, which makes him less exciting even in deeper formats.

Jenkins helped the Pistons snap the Lakers’ nine-game winning streak with a career-high 30 points. The 24-year-old point guard had his best game since taking over as the starter since Cade Cunningham (lung) was sidelined. 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.

After totaling six points on 2-of-21 shooting from the field in his prior two appearances, Sarr desperately needed a night like Saturday. While it ended in defeat, the second-year center/forward getting untracked was a great development for the Wizards and those rostering Sarr.

Saturday’s stat line wasn’t on par with his 30-point Tuesday against the Pistons, but Carrington shot the ball well against the Thunder.

Due to his sore right ankle, Duren was a game-time call for Friday’s game. He was able to play, but foul trouble and the Pistons taking care of business conspired to limit the All-Star center to 21 minutes. Duren will now get a little time off, as the Pistons won’t play again until Monday. Paul Reed (15/6/3/2/1) played 23 minutes off the bench, and he has some value in deep leagues as long as Detroit remains without Isaiah Stewart.

He hasn’t been on the radar of fantasy managers this season, and for good reason, given his lackluster production. However, the rookie’s defensive activity makes him capable of having games like Thursday, where he can do a little bit of everything. Watkins played 27 minutes against the Pistons, matching his season-high in steals and recording a new high in blocks. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a solid performance as far as category leagues are concerned. However, this does not make Watkins a player worth adding.

If there comes a point when the Wizards shut down Sarr, Vukčević could benefit.
