Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Scores 17 points in win Friday
Rotowire
Robinson finished with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 26 minutes in Friday's 110-94 victory over the Nets.
Robinson had an off night shooting the ball from deep but still finished third on the team in scoring behind Cade Cunningham and Ron Holland. The 32-year-old is averaging a career-best 16.8 points and 1.8 steals along with 2.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 29.7 minutes per outing in six regular-season appearances. With Jalen Duren (hamstring) sidelined for at least a couple of weeks and Tobias Harris (calf) now in San Antonio, there is room for Robinson to have his most productive year since entering the league in 2018.
Robinson finished with 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, a steal and a block across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks.
Robinson cooled off considerably after connecting on five three-pointers in each of his previous three appearances, but some kind of regression was widely expected. Despite the shooting woes, the volume shows Robinson has settled into a steady role in the Pistons' offensive scheme, though his limited contributions outside scoring can expose his fantasy volatility, as they did on Tuesday. One bad game can happen to anyone, and Robinson should keep thriving as a floor-spacing threat for the Pistons even if his shooting numbers fluctuate.

Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Hits five threes again
Rotowire
Robinson delivered 21 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes in Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers.
Robinson has drained exactly three three-pointers in each of his first three outings this season and has cleared the 20-point threshold twice, so he's undoubtedly making the most of his opportunities as a spot-up shooter while playing alongside Cade Cunningham, one of the league's best playmakers. Even though his fantasy production is strongly tied to his perimeter shooting, he's surpassed expectations so far -- he averaged just 12.2 points and 2.9 three-pointers made per game in the 2025-26 regular season.

Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Drains five threes vs. former team
Rotowire
Robinson posted 17 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes in Friday's 128-111 win over the Heat.
Robinson opened the season with five threes and a 21-point performance against the Celtics on Tuesday, and he delivered another strong showing here while also connecting on five long-range shots. His perimeter shooting remains his primary source of fantasy value, although the two steals provided a welcome boost. Robinson's substantial playing time is encouraging, but his limited contributions elsewhere could make his production heavily dependent on shooting efficiency. So far, so good, though -- he's made 10 of his 19 three-pointers in his first two games of the season.

Robinson accumulated 21 points (5-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 victory over Boston.
Robinson started at shooting guard and helped power Detroit's comeback from a 22-point deficit, connecting on a crucial fourth-quarter three-pointer during the Pistons' decisive run. His five triples were tied for the team lead, and his 21 points ranked third behind Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. Robinson's starting role and high-volume perimeter shooting give him a clear path to fantasy value in three-pointers.

Rotowire
Robinson tallied 15 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason win over Minnesota.
Robinson caught fire from beyond the arc, drilling four of his five three-point attempts while adding a handful of rebounds in a starting role. His perimeter shooting helped Detroit stretch the floor, and the veteran sharpshooter should remain an important source of three-point production as the Pistons prepare for the regular season.

Robinson is listed as questionable for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Sunday due to lower-back soreness.

Through 12 playoff games, Robinson has averaged 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.2 threes and 1.3 steals over 30.2 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Logs five steals in Game 3 loss
Rotowire
Robinson notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and five steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Robinson was effective as usual on offense, leading the Pistons with four makes from beyond the arc while finishing as the team's third-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham (27 points) and Tobias Harris (21 points). However, Robinson was also effective on the defensive side of the floor with five steals, the most in a game in his NBA career. The veteran sharpshooter is averaging 12.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.6 steals over 31.2 minutes per game in the postseason.
Robinson logged 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The 19 points and five threes were both postseason highs for Robinson, who's drilled at least one triple in eight straight contests. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 11.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers per game in the 2026 playoffs, shooting 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Robinson dealt with foul issues throughout the night, limiting him to just nine points in 26 minutes.

Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Scores 19 points in win
Rotowire
Robinson finished Friday's 118-100 win over the Hornets with 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes.
Even though the Pistons' offense was regularly flowing through Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, it's safe to say Robinson took advantage of his touches to deliver another solid shooting performance. He has scored at least 19 points in three of his past five outings. This was also his fifth consecutive game with three or more three-pointers made, and his ability to stretch the floor is key for the Pistons' offensive scheme, even if that limits his upside in fantasy.
Robinson logged 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over the Bucks.
Robinson (hip) returned after a one-game absence, as Detroit continues to manage its key players heading into the playoffs. In what was certainly a favorable matchup, Robinson went for at least 20 points for the first time in his past 27 games, a welcome sight for anyone still rostering him. As for his overall season value, Robinson continues to be one of the best three-point specialists typically available on waiver wires, averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game thus far.
