Daniss Jenkins

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.

Daniss Jenkins led the Pistons offense Monday night, dropping 30 points (11-18 FG, 4-5 3PT, 4-4 FT) while also dishing out eight assists and grabbing four rebounds in a 113-110 win over the Lakers.

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. The guard continues to maximize increased minutes in place of superstar Cade Cunningham (lung) in the Detroit starting five, averaging 8.3 points and 3.3 assists per game to go along with a 20.4% usage rate so far this season.

Daniss Jenkins flirted with a triple-double for the Pistons Friday night, dishing out eight assists, grabbing seven rebounds, and scoring 22 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3PT, 7-7 FT) while also recording one steal in a 115-101 win over the Warriors.

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.

Daniss Jenkins scored 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3PT, 5-5 FT) and added three rebounds, six assists, and five steals in Detroit's 138-100 win over Brooklyn on Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

Jenkins' five steals broke his previous career-high of four he had back on November 10. Meanwhile, his 14 points was his second double-digit effort in his last three games and it was his highest point total since scoring 18 on February 6. Jenkins continues to get solid minutes off the bench for the Pistons, but he remains off the fantasy radar.

Two-way guard Daniss Jenkins has signed a two-year deal with the Detroit Pistons with a club option for 2026-27. In a corresponding move, the Pistons are waiving veteran Dario Saric.

Fantasy Impact

Jenkins has been a revelation for the Pistons this season. After averaging 1.0 points in seven games as an undrafted rookie last year, Jenkins is posting 8.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 42 contests this season. Jenkins has reached double figures in scoring in 15 games and Detroit is 12-3 in those contests.
