MALIK BEASLEY NEWS

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.

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.

Delivers 22 points off bench Beasley posted 22 points (8-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Friday's 122-121 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Beasley had knocked down four of 21 attempts from the field in his previous two contests heading into Friday's matchup, so it was a positive sign to see him turn things around offensively by pouring in a season-high 22 points. He led the bench unit in scoring by hitting 57.1 percent of his attempts from the field in the win. It's been tough sledding in the early part of the 2024-25 campaign for Beasley, as he's failed to produce in the scoring column on a consistent basis, which is one of the only draws for fantasy managers.

Strong showing off bench Beasley recorded 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Beasley made his Pistons debut off the bench, and while his efficiency numbers weren't very good, he delivered offense in the second unit, which is the role he's expected to have as long as Jaden Ivey remains in the starting lineup next to Cade Cunningham in the backcourt. Beasley can be counted on to provide points and three-pointers in most formats, but his fantasy upside won't be very high if he keeps coming off the bench.
