Nets 19 points with eight dimes Jenkins chipped in 19 points (6-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 114-105 victory over Philadelphia.

Impact Jenkins has been on quite a roll over the past three, posting impressive averages of 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 3.0 triples, 2.3 steals and just 2.3 turnovers per contest. 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.

Paul Reed has 28 points and 13 rebounds, Pistons beat Bulls 124-113 for 8th straight victory

Starting sans Cunningham Jenkins will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact With Cade Cunningham (hip) sidelined, Jenkins will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The two-way player is coming off a career-best performance in Monday's overtime win over the Wizards, during which he posted 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four steals and three assists across 34 minutes.

Erupts for career-high 24 points Jenkins racked up 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime win over Washington.

Impact Jenkins came out of nowhere, recording a career-high 24 points, while also adding four steals. In what was perhaps the most surprising performance of the season thus far, Jenkins stepped into a much larger role with a number of key personnel on the sideline. His total of 24 points matched what he had put up across his entire career to this point. He could be worth a look for streaming purposes, but only if the Pistons remain banged up.

Adds value off bench Jenkins finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five assists and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 116-95 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Jenkins turned in a polished shooting line despite limited opportunities. He shouldered a heavier workload than usual likely due to Marcus Sasser (hip) and Caris LeVert (hamstring) both being ruled out prior to tipoff, as Jenkins had previously logged 15 total minutes across his first two appearances of the new campaign. He also produced on the defensive end by racking up three steals. Jenkins could continue to get extended looks as a reserve until the Pistons get healthier in the backcourt.
