Having missed three games earlier this season with an ankle injury, Curry is questionable for Monday with a case of knee bursitis. If he cannot play, Buddy Hield would figure even more prominently in the rotation, as the Warriors are already without De’Anthony Melton (knee). Hield is already rostered in most fantasy leagues, while Brandin Podziemski remains available in some deep leagues.

No one has benefitted more from the Tim Hardaway Jr. injury than Beasley. Since moving into the starting lineup three games ago, Beasley has 72 points, 16 rebounds, and 18 3-pointers. That’s an average of 24 points, 5.3 rebounds and six 3-pointers. Beasley doesn’t get a lot of assists, but he’s been on an absolute heater since THJ went down. Hardaway Jr. is close to returning, though, which could complicate matters for Beasley.

Ivey returned to the lineup after a one-game absence and had a game-high 28 points, which was also a personal season-high for the 22-year-old. He knocked down 4-of-7 shots from behind the 3-point line and all four of his free throw attempts. Ivey was +29 in 30 minutes in the 20-point win. He’ll continue to operate as the No. 2 option on offense for Detroit. The Pistons have three games upcoming in Week 5.

It was Cunningham’s fourth triple-double of the season. Only Nikola Jokic and LeBron James have more this year. Cunningham even cut his turnovers, which had been a problem, against Wizards as he turned the ball over just twice in 31 minutes. Cade was +18 in the 20-point win. Detroit has three games coming up in Week 5.

Edey initially injured his ankle during the first half, but the second instance during the third quarter ended his night. The rookie center needed help returning to the locker room and has since been ruled out. Jay Huff may pick up a few more minutes off the bench if Edey misses time, but he is not worth streaming in most leagues.
