Analysis: Sasser made his return to the lineup on Thursday and logged 16 minutes off the bench. Even with Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined, Sasser isn't going to play enough to be worth streaming, especially with Daniss Jenkins is playing as well as he is. |

NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: LeVert is on track to return after sitting out Thursday's win over the Timberwolves. With Marcus Sasser also on track to be available, LeVert's opportunities to affect fantasy basketball will be limited, even with Cade Cunningham (lung) unavailable. |

Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 11:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (hip) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Robinson was a late scratch despite initially being announced as a starter on Thursday. Kevin Huerter replaced him in the starting unit and ended up scoring 22 points in 34 minutes. If Robinson remains out again, Huerter is an intriguing streaming option, assuming he remains in the starting lineup. |

Tobias Harris (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Harris was initially questionable ahead of Thursday's win over the Thunder, a game in which he played 26 minutes. If he can't play against the Timberwolves, Javonte Green and Ron Holland would likely see their opportunities increase. |

Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Thompson played through the ankle injury on Thursday but could end up missing this game. Ron Holland would likely be next in line to step into a starting spot, though with Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren questionable as well, there could be multiple open places in the starting frontcourt. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris records nine boards, seven assists
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 3:22 PM
Tobias Harris accounted for 12 points (5-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: While he didn't offer a great deal scoring-wise, Harris' production in the rebound and assist categories on Thursday was more than adequate. The seven assists were a season-high for the veteran forward, and the nine rebounds were the most in a game for him since March 7 (10 vs. Brooklyn). Rostered in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Harris has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren posts 30/10/7/2/2 line vs. Pelicans
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 3:22 PM
Jalen Duren produced 30 points (10-of-12 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Regardless of who New Orleans started at the center position, Thursday's matchup was a good one for Duren. The Pelicans started veteran DeAndre Jordan, and the Pistons' All-Star recorded his seventh 30-point double-double of the season. Add in the assists, steals and blocks, and Duren produced one of the best all-around stat lines of his NBA career. Since the All-Star break, Duren has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter hits four triples, scores 22 points
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 3:21 PM
Kevin Huerter finished Thursday's win over the Pelicans with 22 points (9-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
Analysis: With Duncan Robinson (wrist) being a late scratch, Huerter was called to make his first start as a Piston. And Red Velvet was up to the task, shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. The rebounds and assists were decent, but the areas where Huerter streamers expected to benefit are where he was at his best. The Pistons end their week on Saturday against the Timberwolves; Huerter will only have streaming value if Robinson remains out. |

Analysis: 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. |

Analysis: LeVert played 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks. He played both games of Detroit's most recent back-to-back, but that will not be the case this time around.
