Marcus

Sasser

Sasser will be good to go once again, and he scored 12 points off the bench during Monday’s loss. However, even if he is able to replicate that production, he isn’t a player to target in fantasy basketball.

Detroit’s injury report is lengthy for the second leg of a back-to-back set. If LeVert and Sasser sit out, more work could be available for Daniss Jenkins and Kevin Huerter.

Sasser is good to go for Saturday’s game, but so is Caris LeVert, which may limit his opportunities off the bench. There isn’t much to gain from streaming Sasser, especially with Daniss Jenkins playing well as Cade Cunningham’s replacement in the starting lineup.

Sasser made his return to the lineup on Thursday and logged 16 minutes off the bench. Even with Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined, Sasser isn’t going to play enough to be worth streaming, especially with Daniss Jenkins is playing as well as he is.

LeVert is on track to return after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Timberwolves. With Marcus Sasser also on track to be available, LeVert’s opportunities to affect fantasy basketball will be limited, even with Cade Cunningham (lung) unavailable.

Green and Sasser are good to go for Thursday’s game, and they’re likely to provide added depth off the bench. However, with Duncan Robinson being a game-time decision, Green could move into the starting lineup.

Sasser is on track to play after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks. With Caris LeVert (knee) sidelined, Sasser may absorb those minutes if available.

LeVert played 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks. He played both games of Detroit’s most recent back-to-back, but that will not be the case this time around. Marcus Sasser, who did not play on Wednesday, is considered probable and may absorb the minutes that would have gone to LeVert.

Sasser was initially listed as doubtful, so his third straight absence doesn’t come as a surprise. Daniss Jenkins will remain the starting point guard, with Caris LeVert and Ausar Thompson filling out the minutes when Jenkins isn’t on the floor.

Sasser is expected to remain sidelined for a third straight game with this hip injury. Daniss Jenkins will continue to fill out most of the point guard minutes with Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined, while Caris LeVert and Ausar Thompson will also help out with ball handling duties.
