Daniss Jenkins News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Diminished role continues Jenkins accumulated zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound in three minutes during Monday's 112-105 win over the Celtics.

Impact Jenkins logged fewer than five minutes for the second time in the past three games, continuing his recent downward trend. With Detroit now fielding a largely healthy lineup, Jenkins is simply being phased out of the rotation. While he has likely done enough to at least touch the floor on most nights, there is no reason to be holding him outside of deeper fantasy leagues. In five games over the past two weeks, Jenkins has averaged just 4.2 points in 11.7 minutes per game.

Bumped back to bench Jenkins isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Portland.

Impact Jenkins will come off the bench Friday now that Duncan Robinson (ankle) is healthy. Jenkins should still see some run off the bench. He scored seven and six points, respectively, during his two-start streak sans Robinson.

Starting Monday Jenkins will start Monday against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact With Duncan Robinson (ankle) sidelined, Jenkins will rejoin the starting five. In his previous four starts this season, the two-way player averaged 19.3 points, 8.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 34.5 minutes per contest.

Pistons already have a painfully obvious solution to their biggest problem Daniss Jenkins can elevate the Pistons' non-Cade minutes as a proper point guard.

Not starting Saturday Jenkins is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Impact Jenkins played phenomenally as a fill-in starter while the Pistons were banged up, but with Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey healthy and active, Jenkins' minutes could start dwindling. As a reserve this season, Jenkins owns averages of 6.8 points and 1.5 assists per game in 13.4 minutes a night.

Sticks in starting lineup Jenkins finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Despite the return of Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson, Jenkins remained in the starting lineup Tuesday. While there are certainly more mouths to feed in Detroit now that the roster is getting healthier, Jenkins was once again productive on both ends of the floor. His run as a standard league asset could come to an end in the near future, especially if Thompson moves back into the starting lineup, and when Jaden Ivey (knee) and Tobias Harris (ankle) return from their respective injuries. For now, managers should simply enjoy his production and be willing to go down with the ship.

Impact The Pistons have now won 10 in a row, and Jenkins has played a key role ever since being inserted into the rotation four games ago.

Despite Detroit missing key contributors, they extended their win streak to nine games Friday night, which prompted head coach JB Bickerstaff to refer to his guys as "nasty dogs" after the game. When Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press asked Jenkins about his coach's comments, he responded: "We're all nasty dogs, nasty boys, whatever you want to call it. We're mutts. You don't want a mutt in the house, nobody likes mutts."

Dream run continues Jenkins ended Wednesday's 124-113 victory over the Bulls with 18 points (9-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 40 minutes.

Impact Jenkins continued his fairytale run, leading the Pistons to an improbable victory. Fresh off a career-best performance earlier in the week, Jenkins moved into the starting lineup, replacing Cade Cunningham, who was ruled out due to a hip injury. Jenkins filled in admirably, dishing out 12 assists, ironically, the same amount he had dished out across his entire career up until Wednesday. Should Cunningham be forced to miss further time, Jenkins could make for a viable streaming consideration.
