M. Robinson - C

NYK

The New York Post is reporting that Mitchell Robinson recently fired super agent Rich Paul, who manages LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and has moved on to his sixth agent despite being in the league for just two seasons thus far.

There have been reports of Robinson being difficult to communicate with and his family wanting to be heavily involved in the business side of things, which has possibly caused rifts with agents. Paul, while he was still managing Robinson, had some interesting things to say about his development. "At this level, talent will get you only so far. You have to understand schemes defensively, very detailed things like the art of setting screens, the art in decision-making as a big man in how you roll." Robinson has been saying all the right thus far in camp, but there are also reports that the Knicks weren't thrilled that he didn't show up earlier to work with the new staff. But the first official practice is Sunday and all may be forgotten if Robinson comes out and performs well. But if he doesn't, Nerlens Noel just might steal his job.

I. Stewart - C

DET

Isaiah Stewart made the most of his 19 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Heat, finishing with 10 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal before fouling out.

Stewart was the most energetic player on the court at times, with the effort expended resulting in the first double-double of his NBA career. With Blake Griffin and Mason Plumlee both ahead of him in the starting lineup, the rookie will be lucky to hit 20 minutes on most nights. But it may get tougher for Dwane Casey to keep Stewart off the court, especially if the Pistons (now 3-9 on the season) continue to trend in the wrong direction. Over the last week, he has provided 11th-round value in 9-cat formats. Stewart isn’t a must-have right now, but his name is one to keep in mind for the second half of this season.

O. Anunoby - SF

TOR

OG Anunoby played 36 minutes in the Raptors' win on Sunday, posting 18 points, five rebounds, an assists, four steals and four 3-pointers.

OG shot 7-of-13 from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and has now made at least two triples in three consecutive games. And though he's shooting just 33% from distance this season, he's averaging 1.9 steals a night and had seven total in Toronto's two-game series with Charlotte. The forward sits just outside the top-50 in 9-cat through about a month of action.

D. Wright - SG

DET

Delon Wright played 26 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Heat, accounting for seven points (3-of-7 FGs), four rebounds, 10 assists, one blocked shot and two 3-pointers.

With Killian Hayes (hip) out indefinitely, Wright is splitting the point guard duties with Derrick Rose. While the latter supplied the scoring punch on Saturday, with Rose scoring 23 points, Wright established a new season-high with his 10 assists. After accounting for no more than four assists in any of the Pistons’ first eight games, Wright has six or more in three of the last four. A trendy deep-round pick, Wright hasn’t lived up to those expectations just yet, but he won’t lack for chances to turn things around.

B. Griffin - PF

DET

Blake Griffin shot 6-of-13 from the field in Saturday’s win over the Heat, tallying 15 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, one blocked shot and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

The eight assists are a season-high for Griffin, who has tallied five or more in five straight games. He hasn’t been great thus far, and the injuries remain a concern, but Griffin is providing 11th-round value in 9-cat formats. While the veteran forward appears to be past the point where he can be the focal point offensively for the Pistons, he can be a solid supplementary playmaker. Fantasy managers who have Griffin should look to move him for a player who doesn't have as many health concerns if possible.

J. Grant - PF

DET

Jerami Grant put up a full stat line in Saturday’s win over the Heat, finishing the game with 22 points (10-of-19 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, four blocks and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

Grant bet on himself during free agency, making the move from Denver to Detroit with designs on figuring more prominently in a team’s offensive game plan. While the Pistons haven’t been all that successful, with Saturday’s win being their first on the road this season, Grant has been excellent individually. He’s comfortably within the top-50 in both 8- and 9-cat formats, threatening top-25 status in the latter. With a Yahoo ADP of 104, some may be tempted to sell high here. But given Grant’s importance to the Pistons rotation, and the freedom that he has offensively, fantasy managers would be better served to hold onto him.

D. Rose - PG

DET

Derrick Rose (knee) played 21 minutes in Saturday’s beating of the Heat, accounting for 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), one rebound, four assists, four steals and three 3-pointers.

Rose played very well, and was one of the reasons why the Pistons picked up their first road win of the season. The veteran point guard remains in his usual backup role, but the injury history and resulting minutes cap makes Rose a tough sell in standard leagues. He is worth a look in deeper leagues, however.

D. Graham - PG

CHA

Devonte' Graham scored a season-high 20 points on Saturday night, hitting 7-of-15 and four triples in the loss.

Graham salvaged his scoring effort with eight points in the final few minutes including a triple with 8.4 seconds left to pull the Hornets within one. Aside from getting buckets, he had five boards, seven assists and a steal in his 38 minutes. Rozier has scored in double figures in four straight contests and seven of the last eight after scoring less than 10 in three straight games at one point. Graham will have to keep this up if in order to avoid a future benching to rookie LaMelo Ball.

P. Washington - PF

CHA

P.J. Washington recorded his third straight double-double, finishing with 14 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocks on Saturday night.

P.J. kept his engine running against the Raptors, shooting 6-of-13 from the field with a 3-pointer in 34 minutes. It was his fifth game in a row scoring in double figures, which explains why he's been added in 10% of leagues over the last week, but he's still available in 23% of leagues and should be picked up with how he's been playing as of late.

T. Rozier - PG

CHA

Terry Rozier shot 9-of-19 from the floor and 6-of-12 from deep on Saturday, scoring 24 points with nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in 38 minutes.

Rozier hit back-to-back 3-pointers with less than 1:30 left in the game to push him over 20 points and help the Hornets have a chance at winning the game, although they came up short. But he's scored in double figures in all but one game this season, averaging 19.6 points on 48% shooting with 3.2 triples per game on a 44% clip. If you drafted him late like most others (123 ADP in Yahoo), you should be thrilled with the top-40 value he's providing right now.

K. Huerter - SG

ATL

Kevin Huerter joins Trae Young, De'Andre Hunter, John Collins and Clint Capela in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Huerter replaces Cam Reddish, who is out due to a knee injury after scoring 20 points in Friday's loss to the Jazz, in the starting lineup. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) also sidelined, Huerter should play plenty Saturday night in the second game of a back-to-back.

R. Perry - PF

BKN

Reggie Perry (left groin soreness) played 13 minutes in Saturday's win over the Magic, tallying four points (2-of-3 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot.

Perry was nagged by a minor groin issue earlier this month, but he's played a total of 35 minutes in the Nets' last two games. He isn't enough of a factor to merit fantasy consideration, but with Brooklyn being short on bigs in the aftermath of the James Harden trade the rookie forward should play most nights. The wild card in this is Nicolas Claxton, who is getting closer to a return to action after missing time due to a knee injury.

G. Hayward - SF

CHA

Gordon Hayward finished Saturday night's game with 25 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal in the Hornets' 116-113 loss to the Raptors.

Hayward was on pace for his second 40-point game of the season after a 21-point first half but disappeared in the final 24 minutes as Terry Rozier and DeVonte' Graham took over. Still, it was an overall good night for the first-year Hornet as he notched his seventh game with 20-plus points this season and his third game attempting and making at least 10 free throws. Was he really overpaid or paid exactly what he deserves?
