MALIK BEASLEY NEWS

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.

Impact After a hot start to the campaign, Beasley produced his first dud of the season Monday night. He's been a key part of the second unit so far, playing 24.0 minutes with averages of 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers through four games.

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.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Beasley won't start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Beasley and Tim Hardaway have alternated starts throughout the preseason, and it'll be Hardaway in the first unit Wednesday. Beasley scored two points on 1-of-8 shooting across 25 minutes last time out.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting lineup Beasley will start Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors.

Impact Beasley has been rotating with Tim Hardaway for a starting spot throughout the preseason, but the former will get the starting nod Sunday. Beasley will look to bounce back from Friday's game where he made just three of his 10 attempts from the floor.

Not starting Friday Beasley will play a reserve role in Friday's tilt against the Suns, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Beasley and Tim Hardaway have each gotten one start at small forward in Detroit's first two exhibition contests. The latter will get the nod Friday. Beasley projects to be one of the first players, and a spark, off the bench for the Pistons once the regular-season tips off.

Gets starting nod Beasley is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Suns, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Beasley will replace Tim Hardaway in the starting lineup Tuesday after coming off the bench in Detroit's preseason opener. Beasley started in 77 of his 79 appearances for Milwaukee last season before signing a one-year deal with the Pistons this offseason.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to Motor City Beasley plans to sign a one-year, $6 million-plus deal with the Pistons, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After one season with the Bucks, during which Beasley averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 79 regular-season games, he will head to the Pistons on a short-term deal. The 27-year-old has become known as a sharpshooter, and he averaged a career-high 41.3 percent from deep last season. Detroit has made it its mission to get Cade Cunningham veteran aid and shooting, and Beasley will have a chance to provide that for the young club.

Impact Beasley entered the starting lineup Sunday with Damian Lillard (Achilles) being added to Milwaukee's inactive list, connecting on a team-high mark from three while ending three points shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Beasley reached double figures in scoring for the first time of the postseason, connecting on at least three threes in two straight outings. If Lillard is unable to return in a win-or-go-home Game 5, look for Beasley to return to the starting lineup or at least have a large role in the rotation for the Bucks.

Back with first unit Beasley will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact Beasley will be replaced by Patrick Beverley in the starting lineup Tuesday. Beasley has started in all 75 of his appearances this season but will move to the bench amid Milwaukee's four-game losing streak.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Plays just 23 minutes Beasley logged nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-109 loss to the Knicks.

Impact This was a disappointing workload for Beasley considering that Khris Middleton left the game early with mouth trauma. He's had a tough time in April, averaging 6.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 25.0 percent from the field through four games.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Leader from deep in 20-point game Beasley posted 20 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 33 minutes in Thursday's 107-100 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Beasley led all players in Thursday's contest in threes made to go along with a pair of rebounds and ending as one of two Bucks players with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Beasley has connected on six or more threes in eight games this season, burying at least five threes in two straight outings. Thursday marked the ninth time Beasley has recorded 20 or more points.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double digits again Beasley supplied 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and six rebounds over 31 minutes during Thursday's 115-108 win over the Nets.

Impact Beasley has been playing well in recent weeks, and the veteran has now scored in double digits in five of his last six outings while draining two or more threes in each of those six appearances. Beasley is averaging 13.5 points per game in that stretch, and while his upside on offense is limited to operate as a catch-and-shoot threat from beyond the arc, he should get enough looks if he continues to be as sharp as he's been of late. He's making 39.2 percent of his threes during the aforementioned stretch.
