With Tobias Harris (ankle) unavailable, Stewart made his seventh start of the season on Saturday. After shooting 4-of-10 from three in his previous nine appearances, Beef Stew shot 3-of-5 against the Bucks. If there was a disappointing aspect of his performances, it was the lack of rebounds. Over the last two games, Stewart totaled three rebounds, a poor return for a player averaging 6.0 per game on the season. Recent rebounding production aside, he remains a player who should be rostered in deep leagues.

After a streak of four straight double-doubles, Duren entered Saturday having totaled 14 rebounds in his last two outings. Rebounding wasn’t a problem against the Bucks, especially with Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo unavailable due to injury. Duren has recorded at least 16 rebounds in five games this season, with Saturday’s effort being the first since November 26. The Pistons play once during Week 8 but will have four games in fantasy leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 due to the NBA Cup knockout rounds.

After playing 36 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers, Cunningham logged 32 on Saturday, spending most of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Pistons point guard is up to 12 double-doubles on the season and fifth in his last 10 games. The negative for Cunningham managers is the upcoming schedule, as Detroit plays only once in Week 8. However, this won’t be a significant issue for those competing in leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup knockout rounds.

Sasser is officially available to make his season debut on Saturday, improving Detroit’s depth on the perimeter. However, he’s unlikely to get the run needed to impact fantasy basketball. Daniss Jenkins may fall out of the rotation entirely with Sasser available.

Harris will not play on Saturday after logging 31 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers. Isaiah Stewart is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, and Beef Stew would be worth a look in deep leagues.

Sasser is closing in on his season debut, which is likely to come Saturday against the Bucks given his probable listing. The 25-year-old point guard will improve the Pistons’ depth, but isn’t relevant for fantasy managers.

Harris had 10 points in 31 minutes in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday. Isaiah Stewart could move into the starting lineup if Harris sits out the second game of a back-to-back against the Bucks on Saturday.

Cunningham was the do-it-all superstar we’ve seen so far for the Pistons this season again Friday. The 24-year-old point guard filled up the stat sheet, leading the way with 29 points and nine assists. Cunningham is also getting it done on the defensive end, where he has 10 steals in three games so far this week. The Pistons close out the week with a matchup against the Bucks on Saturday.

Sasser was close to making his season debut, but he will have to wait at least one more game. It will be great to see him back, but his role will likely be too small for him to be rostered in standard leagues.

Robinson will be back after a two-game absence, which will push Daniss Jenkins back to the bench. Jenkins had been effective as a starter in the past, but this was a rough two-game stretch for him. He’ll lose the streaming upside he held as a reserve.

Sasser, who has been out with a right hip impingement, could be available to make his season debut on Friday. However, that does not guarantee that he’ll play rotation minutes, especially with the Pistons mainly being healthy. Unless you’re in a dynasty league, there’s no need to roster Sasser right now.

Robinson has missed Detroit’s last two games, resulting in Daniss Jenkins moving into the starting lineup. However, the second-year guard has effectively split minutes with Caris LeVert, and the production has not been good enough for him to be worth the risk in most redraft leagues.

Cunningham was held below 20 points for the second consecutive game to start December after going the entire month of November without that happening. The 24-year-old point guard had an off-night from behind the three-point line going 1-of-7 from behind the arc. Cunningham had just two turnovers and was +7 in 35 minutes in the four-point loss.

Harris has now had at least 20 points in two of his last three games. That’s a good sign for the 33-year-old small forward who returned from an ankle injury last month. Harris is a reliable fantasy option when healthy.

Robinson will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, which should mean Daniss Jenkins remains in the starting lineup. While his ceiling as a scorer is limited playing alongside Cade Cunningham, Jenkins can be helpful to managers needing rebounds and assists when allowed to start.

Robinson missed a game for the first time this season on Monday, which opened the door for Daniss Jenkins to start in his place. Jenkins had a rough shooting night, but he was able to supply eight rebounds and six assists and has generally been a reliable streamer when he starts this year. If Robinson remains out, Jenkins will be worth streaming.

After a one-game absence due to a left leg contusion, Duren was back in the lineup and made his presence felt immediately. He was Detroit’s leading rebounder and helped the Pistons dominate the glass; they won the rebounding matchup 60-34. Duren has a double-double in four straight games and will look to keep that going against the Bucks on Wednesday.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) sidelined for the first time this season, Jenkins was able to get the starting nod. He was able to provide rebounds and assists, but it was a rough shooting night for him. He missed all eight of his shots from deep and both of his free throws. Jenkins has typically been productive as a starter, so this performance shouldn’t make anyone shy away from him as a streamer next time he gets to start.

Cunningham wasn’t able to have his typical dominant scoring night, but he got the job done late with a pair of clutch buckets with less than a minute left to turn a tied game in to a four-point lead for Detroit. His scoring output was underwhelming for fantasy managers, but the rest of his night wasn’t. He set a new career high for steals and had more “stocks” than he’s ever had in a single game. It was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to stay hot in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) missing a game for the first time this season, Jenkins will return to the starting lineup. Jenkins was elite as a starter in place of Cunningham earlier this year, and while he won’t see the same boost as a fill-in for Robinson, he should still be worth streaming. Duren’s return also pushes Isaiah Stewart back to the bench.

Robinson will be sidelined for the first time this season, which will open up minutes for Caris LeVert, Jaden Ivey and Daniss Jenkins. One of them will start, and with Ivey still having his minutes managed, it will likely be one of the other two.

LeVert is good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. With Duncan Robinson (ankle) inactive, there may be a few more minutes available to LeVert. However, that may also be the case for Daniss Jenkins, which limits LeVert’s streaming ceiling. He’s only worth the risk if announced as a starter.

Initially probable for Monday’s game after missing Saturday’s win over the Heat, Duren is officially good to go. His return means Isaiah Stewart heads back to the bench, while Paul Reed may fall out of the rotation entirely. Stewart is worth holding onto in deeper leagues, as he will still have a prominent role in the rotation.

LeVert missed Saturday’s game, but he is expected to be back to take on Atlanta. He will likely fill his typical role off the bench, though he could get the starting nod with Duncan Robinson (ankle) listed as questionable. However, he isn’t guaranteed to fill the void, and he’d only be worth streaming if he does.

Robinson has been a fixture of the starting lineup this season, but there is a chance he is sidelined to start off the week. Caris LeVert (knee) is probable and could start if Robinson is out, though Jaden Ivey and Daniss Jenkins are also candidates to fill the void.

With Jalen Duren (leg) unavailable, Isaiah Stewart served as the starting center in Miami. However, while Beef Stew (9/8/1/0/1 in 29 minutes) was solid in his time on the floor, Duren’s absence opened things up for Reed as well. “BBall Paul” recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first occurring in a November 12 win over the Bulls. Unlike Stewart, who can provide tangible fantasy value when Duren is playing, Reed needs an absence to become viable. He should only be added if Duren misses more time. Detroit opens a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Hawks.
