NBC SportsMarcus Sasser (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Sasser is officially available to make his season debut on Saturday, improving Detroit's depth on the perimeter. However, he's unlikely to get the run needed to impact fantasy basketball. Daniss Jenkins may fall out of the rotation entirely with Sasser available.

NBC SportsDuncan Robinson (ankle) is available to play against the Trail Blazers on Friday and will start alongside Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren.

Robinson will be back after a two-game absence, which will push Daniss Jenkins back to the bench. Jenkins had been effective as a starter in the past, but this was a rough two-game stretch for him. He'll lose the streaming upside he held as a reserve.

NBC SportsDuncan Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Robinson will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, which should mean Daniss Jenkins remains in the starting lineup. While his ceiling as a scorer is limited playing alongside Cade Cunningham, Jenkins can be helpful to managers needing rebounds and assists when allowed to start.

Ivey is still working his way back from a fractured fibula, most recently playing 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics. The Pistons also play on Saturday against the Heat, so fantasy managers should assume that he'll miss one of the next two games. Daniss Jenkins may play more minutes after logging just eight on Wednesday.
