Robinson has made multiple three-pointers in eight of his ten games this season, with Sunday’s tally of four matching his previous high. On most nights, he’s essentially a points and three-pointers option for fantasy managers, so there isn’t much value to be had when the shots aren’t falling. However, Robinson recorded three steals against the 76ers, matching his total entering Sunday. Caris LeVert (14 points, three rebounds, one block and four three-pointers) also shot the ball well from deep on Sunday, but he also brings a relatively low fantasy ceiling to the table on most nights.

Robinson enjoyed his best game as a Piston on Saturday, shooting over 50 percent from the field and notching a season-high point total. The issue thus far has been inconsistency, with Robinson shooting 42.9 percent from the field. However, he’s still averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game, and that’s the category he’s primarily rostered for. Robinson will look to build on Saturday’s performance when the Pistons visit the Grizzlies on Monday.

Robinson bounced back after scoring two points on seven shots in 32 minutes in the season opener against the Bulls. The 31-year-old small forward had 17 points on nine shots including four made three-pointers. Robinson is essentially first in line to fill the Malik Beasley-sized hole in the Pistons’ lineup and he did an adequate job of that against the Rockets on Friday.

With Jaden Ivey (knee) expected to miss at least four weeks, the Pistons have a hole to fill in their starting lineup. Robinson started the team’s last two preseason games, and his shooting ability may keep the veteran wing in that role. All eight of Robinson’s field goal attempts came from beyond the arc, and having a credible shooter on the floor can open up space for Cade Cunningham and the other Pistons starters. Ron Holland (4/3/4/1 in 22 minutes) and first-round pick Chaz Lanier (9/0/4/1/1 with three three-pointers in 23 minutes) may also see their roles expand with Ivey out, but Robinson is a safe target for managers seeking a three-point streamer.

With Tim Hardaway Jr. in Denver and Malik Beasley no longer in the Pistons’ plans, Robinson was brought in via offseason trade due to Detroit’s need for perimeter shooting. While he did have his moments in Miami, a change of scenery may benefit the veteran sharpshooter. Robinson’s eight shot attempts were tops among Pistons reserves on Monday, with Caris LeVert (two points on 1-of-8 shooting and one assist) also hitting that number. Robinson will remain a specialist in deeper fantasy leagues, but he may have more consistent opportunities to produce in Detroit than he did in his final seasons with the Heat.

Having exercised his $20 million early termination option on Sunday, Robinson’s chances of staying with the Heat were slim. On Tuesday, he found his next home, with the Pistons acquiring the veteran sharpshooter via sign-and-trade. In exchange for Robinson, the Pistons sent Simone Fontecchio to Miami. The Heat’s franchise leader in three-pointers made, Robinson averaged 11.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game last season. With Malik Beasley being the subject of a gambling probe and Tim Hardaway Jr. leaving the team to sign with the Nuggets, adding Robinson gives Detroit a valuable three-point shooter heading into next season.

Robinson possessed an early termination option worth $20 million. While the decision to exercise it will make the Heat guard an unrestricted free agent, it’s been reported that the door is not closed on a return. Charania says Robinson will work with the Heat on a new deal. While he can provide points and three-pointers, Robinson has primarily been a specialist in category leagues. That’s unlikely to change next season, regardless of where he signs.

The Heat were without Tyler Herro for Saturday’s game, leading to Robinson moving into the starting lineup. The good news for the Heat is that he played 31 minutes without any issues, as Robinson has been dealing with a back injury. From a production standpoint, the points and three-pointers were expected. If Herro remains out for Monday’s game against the 76ers, Robinson will be a worthwhile streamer in active leagues.

The Heat had a massive void to fill in their starting lineup for Saturday, as Tyler Herro has been ruled out due to injury. Robinson, who can provide points and three-pointers, will replace him in the lineup. Something else to watch will be Adebayo’s assist tally, as he should be more involved as a playmaker in the Herro-less lineup.

Robinson has missed the last five games with a sacroiliac joint injury. The 30-year-old shooting guard is set to make his return Thursday against the Grizzlies. Robinson will likely move back into the starting lineup, sending Alec Burks back to the bench.

Robinson has missed Miami’s last five games and did not travel with the team to Boston for Wednesday’s win over the Celtics. He remained in Miami and has a chance to play on Thursday. Robinson’s availability impacts Alec Burks, who has moved into the starting lineup but has only offered minimal streaming value.

Robinson, who did not travel with the team to begin Miami’s road trip, will miss a fifth-straight game on Wednesday. Alec Bucks has moved into the starting lineup, but he is only worth streaming in extremely deep leagues.

Miami did not rule out Robinson for the remainder of the three-game trip, but he won’t be available to take on the 76ers on Saturday, which will be a third-straight absence for him. If Alec Burks is available, he’ll continue to start, though head coach Erik Spoelstra may have to turn to Terry Rozier or Jaime Jaquez Jr. if Burks is ruled out.

Robinson also missed Tuesday’s game against the Warriors with lower back pain. Alec Burks, who is available despite also dealing with a back issue, figures to start in Robinson’s place as he did in the previous game. Burks is merely an option in deeper formats.

Burks started for Robinson when he missed Miami’s latest win over Golden State and has a good chance to do so again if the sharpshooter is ruled out in a second straight contest. Jaime Jaquez Jr. could benefit if both wings are ruled out.

Robinson will not be available for Tuesday’s game due to lower back pain. While his absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as he offers limited value outside of points and three-pointers, it will open up a spot in the Heat rotation. Haywood Highsmith, who logged 36 minutes on Sunday, should once again figure prominently in the lineup, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. should see his playing time increase out of necessity. Neither player has offered consistent fantasy value this season.

Robinson is dealing with lower back pain, hence his inclusion on the Heat injury report. This season, he has primarily been a specialist, providing value for managers needing points and three-pointers. If Robinson cannot play on Tuesday, Haywood Highsmith will pick up additional minutes after logging 36 off the bench on Sunday.

Robinson got off to a good start on Monday, shooting 3-of-5 from the field with two three-pointers. He finished with 22 points, his highest total since February 26. Robinson’s run of nine consecutive games in double figures ended on March 14, so it was good to see him get back on track after two poor outings. With the Heat’s lack of consistent scorers beyond Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, they’ll need more nights like Monday from Robinson.

Points and three-pointers are why Robinson remains valuable in some deep leagues, and those who have him rostered were rewarded handsomely on Wednesday. He’s made multiple three-pointers in nine straight appearances, and the five triples are the most for Robinson since February 26. Averaging 3.7 three-pointers per game, the Heat guard/forward has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats over his last nine.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Robinson is available and will provide depth off the bench. While he has been a consistent member of the Heat rotation, Robinson offers limited upside in fantasy basketball. Unless there’s a need for three-pointers, he is not a must-roster player in most leagues.

Robinson scored 12 points his last time out and Burks is looking to return from a two-game layoff. Pelle Larsson could draw another spot start if either wing is ruled out.

Robinson stepped up with Andrew Wiggins out Friday. The 30-year-old shooting guard came off the bench and was highly efficient as he made 8-of-10 shots from the field including four 3-pointers. Robinson isn’t an every week fantasy starter, but he’s a good bet to provide points and threes when the Heat are missing a key player or two.

While Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo did what was expected of them in Miami’s 131-109 victory, the Heat also received solid production from Robinson and Davion Mitchell (20 points, six assists, two steals, and five three-pointers). Robinson shooting 6-of-13 from three isn’t stunning, but the six assists were the most he’s had in a game since January 17 (seven vs. Denver). However, this performance doesn’t change much for Robinson’s fantasy outlook, as he has been ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Unless you need a three-point specialist who can provide added assist value every so often, there’s no need to add Robinson after Wednesday’s effort.
