Five turnovers were the main issue on an otherwise productive night — the scoring and facilitation were there, but the ball security will need to improve for the overall line to reach its potential.

Daniss Jenkins finished with 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) and nine assists in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

Jenkins finished just one assist shy of a second straight double-double Thursday night, as he has really stepped up his game with Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined. Jenkins has taken over as the Pistons' starting point guard, putting up at least 19 points and eight assists in each of the last four games. Cunningham is most likely going to be out for the rest of the regular season, so Jenkins is pretty much a must-add player right now.

Fantasy Impact

Jenkins continues a modest stretch in the offensive end of the floor, finishing with five or more assists and nine or more points in each of his last four games.

Fantasy Impact

Jenkins continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds, three or more assists, and four or more points in each of his last five games. The guard should offer fantasy managers a late-season option while replacing superstar Cade Cunningham (lung) in the Detroit starting five for the foreseeable future, averaging 8.0 points and 3.2 assists per game to go along with a usage rate of 20.3% so far this season.
