Jenkins contributed seven points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 21 minutes during Monday's 114-103 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins has flashed his potential occasionally, but his fantasy upside will remain capped by a healthy Cade Cunningham. Jenkins has scored in single digits in five consecutive games, and he hasn't started a contest since the Jan. 21 victory in New Orleans.

Jenkins signed a two-year contract with the Pistons on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins has been on a two-way contract with the Pistons, but he has now been signed to a standard contract with a team option for the 2026-27 season. Jenkins, who has averaged 8.2 points, 3.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game across 42 contests this season, has seen an increased role of late, scoring in double figures in three of his last four appearances. Over that stretch, he has averaged 13.5 points in just 17.8 minutes per game.

Jenkins finished with 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Friday's 118-80 victory over New York.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins finished with 18 points in 18 minutes, once again flashing his offensive upside. With his two-way contract ending Friday, Detroit will now be converting him to a full-time contract, allowing him to play out the rest of the season. With Jaden Ivey now in Chicago, it appears Jenkins will continue to play a meaningful role moving forward, putting him on the fantasy radar in slightly deeper formats. For those in standard leagues, he should be considered a viable streaming option.

Jenkins isn't listed on the Pistons' injury report and will be available for Friday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
After he was inactive for Thursday's loss to the Wizards, Jenkins will suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set in what will mark his 50th game of the season as an active player for Detroit. Because two-way players aren't eligible to be active for more than 50 games, Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon told Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press on Friday that he expects Jenkins to be converted to a standard contract later this weekend, clearing up any concern about the second-year guard's availability moving forward. Jenkins has been a key piece in the second unit and as an occasional replacement in the starting five for Cade Cunningham this season. Jenkins is averaging 7.9 points, 3.3 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 16.8 minutes per contest while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from downtown.

Jenkins (two-way) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins is approaching the maximum 50 NBA games played for a two-way player, and the Pistons will hold him out of Thursday's contest as they figure out how to handle Jenkins' remaining nine games. Detroit can sign Jenkins to a standard contract to avoid the 50-game cap. With Jenkins sidelined, Marcus Sasser should serve as the primary backup to Cade Cunningham (wrist). Jenkins' next chance to play will come Friday against the Knicks.

Jenkins had 18 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 win over Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins finished with his second-best scoring night of the calendar year against Brooklyn in a monster blowout victory. He needed only nine field goal attempts to notch 18 points in a highly efficient effort. It's hard for Jenkins to consistently deliver these kinds of nights given Detroit's depth, but he is certainly capable of filling it up at a high level on occasion.

Jenkins is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cade Cunningham (hip/illness) will retake his place in the first unit Friday. Jenkins has averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 19.3 minutes per contest over his last six games off the bench.

Jenkins is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Cade Cunningham (illness) won't play Wednesday, and his absence has opened up a spot for Jenkins in the starting lineup. In six total starts this season, Jenkins is averaging 15.0 points, 7.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds across 31.5 minutes. However, in the two starts he's made while Jaden Ivey has been healthy, Jenkins has averaged 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 25.5 minutes. Ivey, of course, will be available Wednesday night.

Jenkins accumulated two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, 15 assists and one steal across 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 108-93 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The 15 dimes were a career high for Jenkins, as he took on more distribution duties with Cade Cunningham (wrist) unavailable. Jenkins has played at least 23 minutes with the second unit in three straight games, averaging 13.0 points, 8.0 assists, 2.7 threes and 2.3 boards in 25.3 minutes with that increased workload.

Jenkins ended Monday's 121-90 win over the Knicks with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four assists, two blocks and one steal over 23 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins added another solid performance with 12 points and a season-high two blocks in Monday's blowout win over the Knicks. The 24-year-old played the entire fourth quarter with the game in control and has now played at least 23 minutes in back-to-back games after averaging just 8.7 minutes in the previous 10 contests. The second-year guard has played well when given the opportunity, but he has been a smaller piece of Detroit's rotation recently.
