Daniss Jenkins posted 22 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals on 7-16 shooting and 6-6 from the line in 36 minutes as a starter on Monday, November 9, leading Detroit to a 122-111 victory over Washington.

The performance produced 51.2 fantasy points, more than double his 22.3 average over his previous 9 games, and offered value across categories with the steals and assists alongside efficient shooting. His 36 minutes and starting role represent a significant increase from the 24.9 minutes he averaged over his previous 9 games, most of which came off the bench.

Daniss Jenkins

Jenkins averaged 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 2.1 threes over his previous 9 games, with just 11 per cent of those appearances as a starter. His 19.2 per cent usage rate and 61.8 per cent true shooting mark suggest efficiency when he does handle the ball, and Monday's 8 assists were 3.3 more than his season average while the 4 steals represented a significant defensive contribution that helped offset his modest block totals.

The Pistons have one game left this week, Monday, giving Jenkins an immediate chance to build on this outing. Season to date across 10 games, including Monday, he has averaged 12.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 26.0 minutes. Whether the starting role and elevated minutes hold beyond this contest remains uncertain, but the performance offers a glimpse of his ceiling when given extended run.

What to do

• Stream Jenkins for Monday's final game this week if he remains in the starting lineup and you need assists, steals and points.

• Monitor Detroit's rotation news before Monday to confirm whether the 36 minutes and starting role carry over.

• Add Jenkins in deeper leagues if the expanded opportunity looks sustainable beyond this week.
