Jaden Ivey returns to full health for Detroit after a left fibula fracture, joining a Pistons squad that blossomed last season with Cade Cunningham and the addition of Caris LeVert.

Ivey's 17.6 ppg, 4.1 rpg and 4.0 apg, plus a career-best 40.9% from three and 49.0% on twos, hint at a big fantasy lift if health holds and usage rises.

LeVert brings veteran scoring and playmaking to ease Ivey's ramp, while Cunningham remains the focal point. The guard group could push Detroit toward winning basketball and stronger fantasy upside.

High Score reshapes weekly fantasy basketball by rewarding big weekly ceilings in assists and steals with minimal turnovers. Five sleepers outside the top 100 ADP stand out: Kevin Porter Jr., Reed Sheppard, Jaden Ivey, Stephon Castle and Isaiah Collier, each equipped for spike weeks with 30+ minutes and heavy usage.

Additional upside comes from Kyshawn George, Dennis Schröder, Ayo Dosunmu, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Davion Mitchell, who bring late-round dart throws in punt-turnover builds. Together they map a flexible strategy for weekly winners in 2025-26.

Sleepers outside the top 100 picks could redefine drafts this season. Porter Jr. projects heavy Bucks usage; Edey and Eason should push for meaningful minutes as teams lean on youth; Ivey and Buzelis carry multi-cat upside in pivotal seasons. Pritchard, Avdija and Nembhard add shooting, efficiency and playmaking while Giddey’s post‑All‑Star run hints at continued upside. The value ladder is dense and dynamic.

Pritchard, Avdija and Nembhard offer floor + upside; Giddey’s late surge is a reminder of ceiling. Reed Sheppard, Cam Camara, Scotty Pippen Jr., Whitmore and Morant’s Grizzlies cohort shape a rich late-round tapestry. Toumani Camara and Jaden Ivey anchor defensively and offensively, while Matas Buzelis blends 3-and-D upside with block potential.

Tobias Harris returns to Detroit as a veteran cornerstone, tasked with guiding a still-young core toward a playoff-ready ceiling. His leadership and steady two-way game anchor a Pistons lineup built for growth and long-term potential.

Last season Harris posted 13.7 PPG, 5.9 RPG and 2.2 APG across 73 games, earning ESPN's No. 84 ranking for 2026. He’ll function as a secondary option behind Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, but his vocal leadership and versatile play keep him central to Detroit’s progress and culture.
