Quiet showing in loss Beasley ended with four points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 128-107 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Beasley moved back to the bench for this contest with Cade Cunningham (hip) back in the lineup. This was a rare dud for Beasley, as he's had a terrific first season in Detroit. Through 23 regular-season appearances, he holds averages of 15.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 3.4 three-pointers.

Moving back to bench Beasley won't start Tuesday against the Bucks, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Beasley has been starting in recent games, but he'll move back to the bench with Cade Cunningham (hip) returning to the first unit. Beasley has been playing at a high level, though, averaging 19.5 points per game and shooting 43.7 percent from beyond the arc over his last 10 appearances (seven starts).

Scores team-high 19 points Beasley recorded 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Beasley was a late addition to the lineup after Cade Cunningham (hip) was scratched only a few minutes before tip-off, and the veteran shooting guard extended the solid run of play he's gone through of late. Beasley has scored at least 18 points in five of his seven starts this season, and while he's likely to move back to the bench if Cunningham is able to feature against the Bucks on Tuesday, the nine-year veteran remains worth rostering in most formats due to his scoring prowess.

Late addition to lineup Beasley will start Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Cade Cunningham (undisclosed) has been scratched from the starting lineup just minutes before the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, and Beasley will take his place in the lineup. Expect Beasley to slot at shooting guard, while Jaden Ivey will start at point guard. Beasley is averaging 19.0 points per game in six starts this season.

Excels despite move to bench Beasley posted 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 130-106 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Beasley posted one of his better shooting performances of the 2024-25 season, especially from downtown where he drilled 55.6 percent of his tries after hitting at a clip of 34.0 percent in his previous five appearances entering the day. The Florida State product shifted back to his usual bench role Friday due to the return of Cade Cunningham from a hip injury, though the role shift actually worked out in Beasley's favor from a production standpoint, as he turned in his best scoring effort since Nov. 17 against the Wizards. Fantasy managers can expect Beasley to come off the bench moving forward, but this doesn't necessarily mean he can't contribute at a high level as a scorer.

Back to bench role Beasley is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Beasley delivered quality minutes during his short-lived time as a starter, but he returns to the bench for this matchup now that Cade Cunningham (hip) is back in the starting unit. Beasley is averaging 18.9 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from three-point range over his last eight appearances (six starts).

Scores 18 points Saturday Beasley finished with 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 loss to the Magic.

Impact Beasley was reinserted into the Pistons' starting lineup Saturday due to Cade Cunningham being sidelined with a left hip injury. Beasley finished as the Pistons' second-leading scorer behind Jaden Ivey (19) and the former tied Isaiah Stewart for most assists on Detroit. Beasley has scored at least 15 points in each of his last nine games, and over that span he has averaged 20.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 33.0 minutes per game.

Starting vs. Orlando Beasley is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Magic.

Impact Beasley will get promoted to a starting role due to the absence of Cade Cunningham (hip), and he'll presumably slot at shooting guard with Jaden Ivey taking over the playmaking duties. Beasley has made three starts this season and is averaging 24.0 points per game while shooting 50 percent from deep in those contests.

Struggles with shot in OT loss Beasley recorded 16 points (5-15 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Hornets.

Impact Beasley had the chance to win the game in regulation for the Pistons not once, but twice, in the final seconds, but he couldn't sink two attempts from close range. Despite the efficiency issues, Beasley had another strong showing, and he remains a solid fantasy performer regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Beasley's streak of games with at least 20 points ended in this loss, but he's riding another streak since he's scored at least 15 points in eight consecutive appearances.

Finds success off bench Beasley totaled 21 points (8-19 FG, 5-14 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 122-112 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Beasley returned to the bench for Monday's clash following the return of Tim Hardaway from a head injury, but the role change had little impact on his production. Beasley ended the night second on his team in scoring behind Cade Cunnningham (26 points) despite a tough shooting performance. The Florida State product has now poured in 20 or more points in five straight showings, proving to fantasy managers that he's deserving of a look despite slotting in as a reserve.

Returning to bench Beasley is not in the Pistons' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Beasley started in the Pistons' last three games while Tim Hardaway (head) was sidelined. Over that span, Beasley averaged 24.0 points on 56.3 percent shooting (including 50.0 percent from three on 12.0 3PA/G), 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 34.3 minutes per game. However, Beasley will retreat to the bench Monday as Hardaway makes his return.

Continues to shine in starting role Beasley tallied 26 points (10-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes in Sunday's 124-104 win over Washington.

Impact Beasley extended his 20-point streak to four games Sunday, and he has reached that mark in five of the Pistons' last six games. He has been in Detroit's starting lineup for three straight games, and his strong play as of late should make it hard for head coach J.B. Bickerstaff to justify moving Beasley back to the bench once Tim Hardaway (head) returns. Over his last six outings, Beasley has averaged 21.7 points on 51.6 percent shooting (including 46.2 percent from three on 10.8 3PA/G), 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 33.4 minutes per game.

Impact Beasley carried the Pistons in scoring and could remain in a starting role for the foreseeable future given the way he's been playing in recent contests. This was his third straight game with at least 20 points and has reached that mark in four of his last five outings, averaging 20.8 points and shooting 44.4 percent from three-point range in that span.
