Marcus Sasser

Marcus Sasser took advantage of extended playing time in Thursday’s loss to the Heat, tallying 18 points on efficient 6-of-10 shooting (2-of-2 FTs) while filling in for the injured Caris LeVert. He was a threat from deep, knocking down four three-pointers, and contributed across the board with four rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Fantasy Impact

This marks back-to-back productive outings for Sasser, who scored 19 points against the Lakers earlier in the week. While he is currently rostered in very few leagues, his ability to provide instant offense and perimeter shooting makes him a player to watch—and potentially stream—if LeVert and Tobias Harris remain sidelined for upcoming games.

Marcus Sasser provided a massive spark in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers, recording a season-high 19 points (5-of-8 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, five assists, two steals, and four three-pointers in 24 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Benefiting from the absence of Caris LeVert (knee), the third-year guard seized the extra playing time to deliver an efficient all-around performance. While he filled the box score with everything except a block, Sasser remains a "watch list" candidate rather than an immediate pickup. He will need to string together consistent production to warrant fantasy consideration, but this outing showcased his scoring punch when given the opportunity.

A hip injury has left Sasser sidelined for an extended period of time, but he has been cleared to make his regular season debut for the Pistons on Saturday night. He isn't likely to see a lot of work for the foreseeable future, especially considering the likely chance that the team will limit his workload for his first week or two back.
