NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (hip) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) are available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Thompson was initially probable for Saturday's game, so his status upgrade was expected. As for Robinson, he's back in the lineup after being a late scratch for Thursday's win over the Pelicans. His return pushes Kevin Huerter to the bench. |

Omari Sankofa
Isaiah Stewart (calf) has been cleared to resume on-court activities.
Analysis: Saturday's game against the Timberwolves will be the eighth that Stewart has missed with a strained left calf. The clearance for on-court work means that Beef Stew is closing in on a return to action, so he should have ample time to shake off the rust ahead of the postseason. Paul Reed will continue to take on the backup center responsibilities until Stewart returns. |

NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: LeVert is back after sitting out Thursday's win over the Pelicans. He played 15 minutes the night prior against the Hawks and is likely on track for a similar workload. That is not enough to justify rostering LeVert in fantasy leagues. |

NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Sasser is good to go for Saturday's game, but so is Caris LeVert, which may limit his opportunities off the bench. There isn't much to gain from streaming Sasser, especially with Daniss Jenkins playing well as Cade Cunningham's replacement in the starting lineup. |

Analysis: Thompson is on track to play after logging 29 minutes in Thursday's win over the Pelicans. While Cade Cunningham (lung) being out frees up additional playmaking opportunities for others, including Thompson, he did not record an assist on Thursday. However, Ausar was responsible for three steals and two blocked shots. |

NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) is probable to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
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. |

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. |
|

NBA Injury Report
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. |
|

Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
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. |

Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 11:05 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Duren (knee) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Duren has played through a probable tag in two straight games, but there is a chance he misses Saturday's game against Minnesota. With Isaiah Stewart (calf) still out, Paul Reed would likely get the start at center if Duren is unavailable. |

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. |

Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 12:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Javonte Green (ankle) and Marcus Sasser (hip) are available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Green and Sasser are good to go for Thursday's game, and they're likely to provide added depth off the bench. However, with Duncan Robinson being a game-time decision, Green could move into the starting lineup. |
