Jenkins isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Portland.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Not starting Saturday

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Dream run continues
Rotowire
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.
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.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Starting sans Cunningham
Rotowire
Jenkins will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
With Cade Cunningham (hip) sidelined, Jenkins will get the starting nod for the first time in his career.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Erupts for career-high 24 points
Rotowire
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.
Jenkins came out of nowhere while 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 sidelined with injuries. 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.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Adds value off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rotowire
Jenkins finished with 26 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 87-73 Summer League win over the Rockets.
Jenkins paced Detroit in scoring by knocking down half of his tries from the field and scoring 18 of his 26 points from beyond the arc. The St. John's product figures to split time between the Pistons and the club's G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, though there may be opportunities later in the season for him to earn regular minutes depending on how the season unfolds for Detroit.
