The Pistons recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise ahead of Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

While Klintman is likely to suit up for Detroit on Thursday, he's not expected to be featured in head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's rotation. The second-year forward has made just 11 appearances at the NBA level all season and is averaging 6.3 minutes per game.

The Pistons recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise ahead of Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Detroit is listing Cade Cunningham (lung) and Caris LeVert (knee) out for Thursday's contest, but Lanier may need Tobias Harris (hip) -- who is listed as questionable -- to sit out against the Pelicans in order to crack the rotation. The rookie second-round pick is averaging just 7.9 minutes in 26 games at the NBA level this season, with many of those appearances coming in garbage-time situations.

Riley notched 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 victory over the Jazz.

The 17-55 Wizards continue to take a long look at the rookie first-rounder, who submitted his second double-double of the campaign. Riley has started nine games in a row, averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per tilt.

Hinson contributed 21 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one assist and one block over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

The 21 points were a season high for Hinson, who will be eligible to suit up in four of the Jazz's remaining nine contests while he remains signed to a two-way contract. Hinson has already appeared in just three of Utah's last seven contests, making him an unreliable streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Jarreau racked up 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.

With Memphis beginning to shut down several of their key contributors, Jarreau appears to be one of the beneficiaries while riding a 10-day deal. The 15 points Wednesday were a season high, though Jarreau has played at least 25 minutes just one time in his first seven games in 2025-26.

Hauser closed with nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and five rebounds across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder.

Hauser remains a streamer strictly for three-pointers in most fantasy leagues, though he's struggling to score at the moment. The sharpshooter has scored in single digits in five consecutive games, failing to knock down a single trey in three of them.

Bailey contributed 15 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

Bailey started in the frontcourt alongside Cody Williams with Kyle Filipowski out with an illness. The Jazz have put together some really interesting rotations in recent weeks, but Bailey seems to be a safe fantasy play for the time being.

Dieng closed with 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to Portland.

While Dieng had trouble finding his way with Oklahoma City, he's moved into a significant role since joining the Bucks. He's now started 11 games for Milwaukee, averaging 10.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest while shooting 40.8 percent from deep as a member of the first unit.

Mbeng logged 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 44 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

The Jazz utilized an eight-man rotation, with several players who hardly touched the floor at the beginning of the campaign. Mbeng has been getting a ton of run lately, averaging 34.5 minutes over his last seven games with 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals on 41.7 percent shooting from the field.

Sims had 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to Portland.

Sims is establishing his footing in Milwaukee's banged-up frontcourt, though his fantasy value remains mostly tied to boards and field-goal percentage. The big man has averaged 5.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.1 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting 85.0 percent from the floor during this span.
