Due to a strained left hamstring, Okogie has not played since January 31. While Monday’s announcement from the Hornets is a sign of progress in his recovery, the updated timeline means he’s unlikely to return to impact the playoffs in fantasy leagues. Tidjane Salaun should be a priority for the Hornets for the remainder of the season, even if he’s coming off the bench.

Hardaway Jr. caught fire in this one, hitting 10-of-18 shots from the floor and 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. The points represent a new season high, and the three-pointers tie his season-best mark. THJ led the Pistons in scoring and finished as one of seven Detroit players to score in double figures. His offense runs hot and cold, so don’t expect huge scoring performances like this from him every night.

Schroder made his third straight start, filling in admirably for Cade Cunningham and helping to lead the shorthanded Pistons to a major upset victory. Schroder tallied his second double-double with Detroit and his first as a starter. Cunningham is day-to-day, and Schroder is worth streaming until he returns.

Garland finished with just 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting in Thursday’s win over the Spurs, but he bounced back nicely on the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back set. Garland and Donovan Mitchell combined for 59 points, but the high scoring totals couldn’t get it done against a Pistons squad missing Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris. Garland is back in action on Sunday against the Clippers.
