Daniss Jenkins PG | DET
Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Flirts with double-double
Jenkins had 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.
Jenkins moved into the starting lineup, filling in for Cade Cunningham, who was ruled out with a quad issue. Outside of a brief run earlier in the season, Jenkins has been mostly a non-factor thus far. However, even if Cunningham returns for Sunday's game against the Heat, Jenkins might be worth holding, given Ausar Thompson (ankle) could be sidelined for multiple games.

Duncan Robinson SG | DET
Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Lands three triples in loss
Robinson supplied 15 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and four assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
Robinson connected on at least three triples for the first time in his past five games, although he added very little else. Despite playing a key role for the Pistons, Robinson has been little more than a possible three-point streaming option for those in standard fantasy formats. Through 60 regular-season games, he has averaged 12.0 points and 2.9 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 150.

Isaiah Stewart C | MEM
Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Empty performance in loss
Stewart chipped in 10 points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
Stewart struggled to find any rhythm, failing to take advantage of what could have been a favorable situation. With Ausar Thompson (ankle) set to miss at least a handful of games, Stewart could find himself moving up in the rotation. While he didn't start Saturday, he could certainly be called upon to move into the opening five should the matchup call for some additional size. Despite this performance, he should at least be on the radar as a short-term addition.

Nolan Traore PG | BKN
Nets' Nolan Traore: Battles foul trouble Saturday
Traore contributed two points (1-5 FG), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 victory over the Pistons.
Traore picked up four early fouls, limiting him to just 15 minutes, all of which came in the first three quarters. Despite having seemingly locked down a starting position, Traore has been far from a must-roster player. In his past 14 games, he has barely put up top-300 numbers, averaging 12.6 points, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.9 minutes per game over that stretch.

Nicolas Claxton C | CHI
Nets' Nic Claxton: Season-low two points
Claxton chipped in two points (1-5 FG), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 win over the Pistons.
Claxton was invisible on the offensive end, going for a season-low two points. Although he was able to somewhat salvage his evening with three blocks, Claxton's overall production of late has been mostly underwhelming. In 10 appearances over the past month, he has been outside the top 200 in standard leagues, averaging 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks during that stretch.

Danny Wolf C | BKN
Nets' Danny Wolf: Modest production in win
Wolf finished Saturday's 107-105 victory over the Pistons with eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 19 minutes.
Wolf logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game, continuing what has been an unpredictable two-week stretch. In eight appearances during that time, he has averaged 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers, barely putting up top-180 value. Although it seems as though Wolf should be ascending, it appears as though the Nets' coaching staff has other ideas, at least for now.

Yang Hansen C | POR
Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Recalled from G League
Portland recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.
Hansen appeared in Rip City's wins over the Valley Suns on Friday and Saturday, totaling 36 points and 18 rebounds in those two outings. He hasn't logged double-digit minutes for the parent club since Jan. 27, a trend that is likely to continue Sunday versus the Pacers.

Kyle Kuzma PF | MIL
Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Scores 18 points
Kuzma amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over the Jazz.
Kuzma has responded well to the DNP-CD he received in Monday's blowout loss to the Celtics, scoring 16 points in the loss to the Hawks and 18 in this win over the Jazz. Kuzma is a proven scorer who should continue to produce if given enough minutes, but his upside will decrease a bit if he comes off the bench, which is likely to be the case now that Giannis Antetokounmpo seems fully recovered from his calf injury.

Ousmane Dieng SF | MIL
Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Comes close to triple-double
Dieng amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and nine assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over Utah.
Dieng has been a standout performer for the Bucks of late, and the versatile forward was just two rebounds and one assist away from recording a triple-double. Dieng has scored in double digits in each of his past three starts, and displays such as Saturday's will only strengthen his case to remain in the starting lineup.

Ryan Rollins SG | MIL
Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Sniffs triple-double in win
Rollins produced 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 victory over the Jazz.
Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show with his 27-9-8 performance, Rollins also came close to posting a triple-double, falling short by just two assists. The floor general shot the ball poorly, but his ability to fill the stat sheet and contribute at both ends was impressive. Rollins has scored in double digits in eight of his nine outings since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's averaging 15.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per contest.
