Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Not starting Saturday
Jenkins is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Jenkins played phenomenally as a fill-in starter while the Pistons were banged up, but with Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey active, Jenkins' minutes could start dwindling. As a reserve this season, Jenkins owns averages of 6.8 points and 1.5 assists in 13.4 minutes per game.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Sticks in starting lineup
Jenkins finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Hawks.
Despite the return of Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson, Jenkins remained in the starting lineup Tuesday. While there are certainly more mouths to feed in Detroit now that the roster is getting healthier, Jenkins was once again productive on both ends of the floor. His run as a standard-league fantasy asset could come to an end in the near future, especially if Thompson moves back into the starting lineup, and when Jaden Ivey (knee) and Tobias Harris (ankle) return from their respective injuries.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Nets 26 points with eight assists
Jenkins produced 26 points (11-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four turnovers in 33 minutes during Monday's 127-112 win over the Pacers.
The Pistons have now won 10 in a row, and Jenkins has played a key role ever since being inserted into the rotation four games ago. He's pumping out averages of 21.8 points, 7.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 2.0 steals per contest over that four-game stretch, making him a must-roster player in fantasy leagues.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Nets 19 points with eight dimes
Jenkins chipped in 19 points (6-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 114-105 victory over Philadelphia.
Jenkins has been on quite a roll over the past three, posting impressive averages of 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 3.0 triples, 2.3 steals and just 2.3 turnovers per contest. Despite Detroit missing key contributors, the Pistons extended their win streak to nine games Friday night, which prompted head coach J.B. Bickerstaff to refer to his guys as "nasty dogs" after the game. When Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press asked Jenkins about his coach's comments, he responded: "We're all nasty dogs, nasty boys, whatever you want to call it. We're mutts. You don't want a mutt in the house, nobody likes mutts."

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Dream run continues
Jenkins ended Wednesday's 124-113 victory over the Bulls with 18 points (9-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 40 minutes.
Jenkins continued his fairytale run, leading the Pistons to an improbable victory. Fresh off a career-best performance earlier in the week, Jenkins moved into the starting lineup, replacing Cade Cunningham, who was ruled out due to a hip injury. Jenkins filled in admirably, dishing out 12 assists, ironically, the same amount he had dished out across his entire career up until Wednesday. Should Cunningham be forced to miss further time, Jenkins could make for a viable streaming consideration.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Starting sans Cunningham
Jenkins will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
With Cade Cunningham (hip) sidelined, Jenkins will get the starting nod for the first time in his career. The two-way player is coming off a career-best performance in Monday's overtime win over the Wizards, during which he posted 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four steals and three assists across 34 minutes.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Erupts for career-high 24 points
Jenkins racked up 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime win over Washington.
Jenkins came out of nowhere while recording a career-high 24 points while also adding four steals. In what was perhaps the most surprising performance of the season thus far, Jenkins stepped into a much larger role with a number of key personnel sidelined with injuries. His total of 24 points matched what he had put up across his entire career to this point. He could be worth a look for streaming purposes, but only if the Pistons remain banged up.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Adds value off bench
Jenkins finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five assists and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 116-95 loss to the Cavaliers.
Jenkins turned in a polished shooting line despite limited opportunities. He shouldered a heavier workload than usual, likely due to Marcus Sasser (hip) and Caris LeVert (hamstring) both being ruled out prior to tipoff, as Jenkins had previously logged 15 total minutes across his first two appearances of the new campaign. He also produced on the defensive end by racking up three steals. Jenkins could continue to get extended looks as a reserve until the Pistons get healthier in the backcourt.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Moving to bench Thursday
Jenkins won't start in Thursday's preseason game against the Wizards, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
With Cade Cunningham (rest) returning to game action, Jenkins will move to the second unit. The point guard got the starting nod in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland, posting 19 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Drops 19 points in loss
Jenkins finished with 19 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-100 preseason loss to the Cavaliers.
With Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey resting, Jenkins took full advantage of starting Tuesday. He missed only one shot and tied Tobias Harris for the team high in points. Despite the strong showing, Jenkins is a two-way player and will likely spend most of the upcoming campaign in the G League.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Will start vs. Cleveland

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Inks deal with Detroit
Jenkins agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Jenkins will rejoin the Pistons after spending the 2024-25 campaign on a two-way pact. He appeared in only seven regular-season games for the parent club, spending most of his time with the G League's Motor City Cruise. Over 47 G League outings last season, the 23-year-old guard averaged 18.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 35.7 minutes per game.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Double-doubles in easy win
Jenkins posted 16 points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's Summer League 108-88 win over the Heat.
Despite his poor shooting display from the field, Jenkins distributed a game-high 10 dimes while also recording a double-double. With Jaden Ivey (lower leg) appearing to be on track to be available for the start of the 2025-26 campaign, Jenkins will likely begin the year in the G League while on a two-way contract.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Scores game-high 23 in win
Jenkins racked up 23 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 98-83 Summer League win against the Rockets.
Jenkins was incredibly efficient during his time on the floor Sunday, scoring a game-high 23 points in 23 minutes while missing only three field-goal attempts. The St. John's product led the way along with Tolu Smith, helping Detroit win its second straight game in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Scores 13 points vs. Cavs
Jenkins finished Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers with 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 24 minutes.
Jenkins got an extended run during the Pistons' preseason finale Wednesday as all five starters played just eight minutes each. While Jenkins wasn't the most efficient from the floor, he did manage to connect on three three-point attempts and finished second in scoring behind Simone Fontecchio (18). As a two-way player, Jenkins will likely spend most of the 2024-25 regular season with the Motor City Cruise in the G League.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Erupts for 26 points
Jenkins finished with 26 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 87-73 Summer League win over the Rockets.
Jenkins paced Detroit in scoring by knocking down half of his tries from the field and scoring 18 of his 26 points from beyond the arc. The St. John's product figures to split time between the Pistons and the club's G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, though there may be opportunities later in the season for him to earn regular minutes depending on how the season unfolds for Detroit.
