Jenkins contributed 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins started the second half after Cade Cunningham was ruled out of the remainder of Tuesday's game due to back spasms. Although Jenkins was able to make the most of his opportunity, fantasy managers will want to be cautious before picking him up. Considering this game was against the Wizards, there is a decent chance Detroit simply took additional precautions regarding Cunningham. However, if this does turn into an absence of any kind, Jenkins could be worth a flier, even in standard leagues.

Jenkins logged 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and five steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins tallied a season-high five steals Tuesday. While his fantasy upside remains capped when Cade Cunningham is healthy, Jenkins is taking advantage of extra minutes while Ausar Thompson (ankle) and Caris LeVert (wrist) are sidelined. Over his last six outings (one start), Jenkins averaged 6.0 points, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game.

Jenkins won't start Sunday's game against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
With Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) back in action for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jenkins will slide to the second unit. The 24-year-old guard has averaged 3.8 points in 13.8 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench, though he'll likely see a slight bump in minutes due to Ausar Thompson (ankle) being sidelined.

Jenkins had 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins moved into the starting lineup, filling in for Cade Cunningham, who was ruled out with a quad issue. Outside of a brief run earlier in the season, Jenkins has been mostly a non-factor thus far. However, even if Cunningham returns for Sunday's game against the Heat, Jenkins might be worth holding, given Ausar Thompson (ankle) could be sidelined for multiple games.

Jenkins will start against the Nets on Saturday, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) unavailable, Jenkins will get the starting nod for the first time since Jan. 21. As a starter this season (seven games), the 24-year-old guard has averaged 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 30.9 minutes per tilt.

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.
