Cade Cunningham Probable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is considered probable for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Detroit's leading man is dealing with a right wrist injury, but the probable designation indicates that Cunningham isn't expected to miss time. The 24-year-old is averaging a double-double for a second consecutive month. He has notched 29.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game through his first few outings of 2026. If Cunningham experiences a setback, Jaden Ivey and Daniss Jenkins will take on a greater workload against Chicago.

Caris LeVert Ruled Out Against Cavaliers

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to the team, LeVert did not travel to Cleveland as he recovers from a knee injury that has him labeled as "day to day." The veteran sixth man has averaged 8.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 20 games with the Pistons. With him inactive on Sunday, expect Marcus Sasser and Javonte Green to play more minutes as they look to fill the void. LeVert's next chance to return will be on Monday as the number one seed in the Eastern Conference faces the second-ranked New York Knicks.

Tobias Harris Out at Least Two Weeks with Hip Sprain

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after spraining his hip Dec. 30, sidelining him through at least mid-January. With Harris and Jalen Duren (ankle) both out, Detroit's frontcourt rotation should continue to shift. Isaiah Stewart is positioned to benefit most, averaging 9.8 points and 2.4 blocks in 23.8 minutes over his last five. Paul Reed should see an expanded role at center, boosting his short-term streaming appeal. Ron Holland II could see more minutes, though his fantasy output has been inconsistent.

Jalen Duren to Miss at Least One Week with Ankle Injury

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week after spraining his ankle during Thursday's loss to Miami, sidelining him for at least that span. With Duren and Tobias Harris (hip) out, Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed should absorb most of the frontcourt minutes. Stewart has averaged 9.8 points and 2.4 blocks in 23.8 minutes over his last five. Reed is expected to see an expanded role after previously posting 19.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks in two starts. Ron Holland II may see additional minutes, though his fantasy production has been unreliable.

Jalen Duren Won't Return Thursday After Ankle Injury

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will not return to Thursday's game against Miami after suffering a right ankle sprain. Duren logged 18 minutes before exiting, finishing with 12 points, five rebounds, and one steal after briefly attempting to play in the second half. With Tobias Harris (hip) still out, Detroit is thin up front. Paul Reed becomes a deep-league streaming option if Duren misses time, averaging 19.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks in two starts. Isaiah Stewart and Ron Holland II could also see expanded roles.

Tobias Harris Won't Suit Up Against Miami

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) won't play on Thursday versus Miami. He suffered a hip sprain in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, ending his night after only five minutes of work. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, although they shouldn't be surprised if he misses more games moving ahead. With Caris LeVert (hip) also sidelined, Ron Holland II is the favorite to enter the starting lineup. The 2024 No. 5 overall pick has averaged 7.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in five starts throughout the 2025 campaign. While those numbers aren't the best, Holland will at least warrant consideration for those participating in deep fantasy setups. Marcus Sasser and Jaden Ivey could also surpass their usual fantasy expectations.

Tobias Harris Not Expected to Suit Up on Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) is doubtful for Thursday's meeting with Miami. He logged six minutes in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers because of a left hip injury. Unfortunately, that puts his status in doubt for Thursday's game and beyond. With Caris LeVert (knee) also sidelined, Ron Holland II, coming off a 11-point, seven rebound effort, could find himself in the starting lineup. There will also be room for expanded production for Isaiah Stewart, Javonte Green, and Jaden Ivey.

Caris LeVert Ruled Out on Tuesday Against the Lakers

Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (knee) was downgraded from doubtful to out on Tuesday afternoon before his team faces the Lakers in Los Angeles. He sustained the injury on Sunday in the third quarter against the Clippers. At this point, it's just being described as "soreness," so it may not be a long-term issue. On Tuesday, though, without LeVert in the second unit, both Jaden Ivey and Javonte Green will likely get more playing time. Levert's next chance to return will be Thursday against Miami.

Caris LeVert Unlikely to Play Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been dealing with a sore left knee for a while and couldn't complete Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, logging only 13 minutes. Jaden Ivey saw a season-high 29 minutes off the bench on Sunday, while Javonte Green could also pick up some of LeVert's minutes if he's ruled out on Tuesday night. Detroit has limited Ivey's workload since his return from a knee injury, but it looks like he could be ready to start logging his usual minutes. Last season, Ivey averaged 29.9 minutes per game during a career year. When fully healthy, Ivey offers good fantasy production, posting 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game in 2024-25.

Caris LeVert Upgraded to Available Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) will be active on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings, as the team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Due to his knee problem, Detroit has regularly listed LeVert on the injury report this season, but he has missed only three games since the start of November. Sadly, the 10-year veteran is averaging under 10 points per game for the first time since his rookie campaign, and his recent performances have been especially disappointing. LeVert has failed to make a field goal in back-to-back games, totaling just two points.

Ron Holland II Remains Out Against Kings

Detroit Pistons forward Ron Holland II (knee) won't be available against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. His status has been downgraded from doubtful to out. A left knee sprain will keep Holland II sidelined for a second consecutive game. Javonte Green saw increased minutes in Monday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers and will likely continue to carry a heavier workload until Holland II is back. Unfortunately, Green has not been a dependable fantasy option when coming off the bench and should not be considered by managers.

Jalen Duren • C • Pistons

Jalen Duren Available for Monday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (shoulder) is off the injury report and available to play against the Portland Trail Blazers. Duren played fewer minutes in their previous game against the Charlotte Hornets but was listed as probable heading into Monday night's game. The 22-year-old is having a breakout season, averaging 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 29 minutes per game. With the fourth-year center set to play against the Blazers, Isaiah Stewart has limited value coming off the bench. Duren is a sure-fire start for fantasy managers against one of the worst defenses in the NBA.

Ron Holland II Ruled Out for Monday

Detroit Pistons small forward Ron Holland II (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Holland is dealing with left knee soreness and didn't appear to have any injury in their previous game against the Charlotte Hornets. The second-year forward has seen a slight jump in his sophomore season, averaging 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in just 21 minutes per game. With Holland out, expect to see more Javonte Green as the primary backup behind Ausar Thompson. With the Pistons traveling to face Sacramento on Tuesday, there's a chance Holland is managing some soreness and will be active for their matchup against the Kings.

Jalen Duren Probable for Monday vs Portland

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (hip) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Portland. The fourth-year big man has averaged 14.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 29.0 minutes over his last five, continuing to anchor Detroit's interior. The hip contusion adds mild risk, but his role and workload remain intact. Isaiah Stewart holds limited streaming appeal if Duren is capped, while Cade Cunningham continues to benefit from Duren's screening and finishing. Duren remains a clear hold in all formats.

Caris LeVert Cleared for Action Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) will be active against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. He was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Saturday and has now officially been cleared for action despite dealing with a sore right knee. In Thursday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, LeVert saw his double-digit scoring streak come to an end on three games. He has a good opportunity to start a new streak on Saturday, facing a team that allows the seventh-most points in the Association.

Duncan Robinson Good to Go Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (knee) will be active against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Robinson was on the injury report due to a left knee contusion he sustained on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran sniper operates as a starter in Detroit but has a fairly limited role. In December, Robinson has averaged 9.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per contest. He could see a boost in production on Saturday when facing a team that allows the third-highest three-point percentage in the league.

Duncan Robinson Sidelined Again Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) will miss his second game in a row on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Robinson is dealing with a right ankle sprain and was out for the first time this season on Monday versus the Hawks. Daniss Jenkins started while Robinson was out of action, registering six points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Even with Cade Cunningham in the lineup, Jenkins had the most shot attempts on the team. However, he finished 3-for-16 from the field. Despite the off night, Jenkins has done well as a starter this season and will be a solid fantasy option if he remains in the first unit against a weak Bucks defense during tonight's tilt.

Duncan Robinson Uncertain to Face Bucks Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) is at risk of missing a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has listed him as questionable for the matchup. Robinson is nursing a right ankle sprain and was out for the first time this season on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Daniss Jenkins was elevated into the starting unit, finishing a low-scoring 99-98 win with six points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Even with Cade Cunningham in the lineup, Jenkins had the most shot attempts on the Pistons squad. However, he finished only 3-for-16 from the field, which left an ugly dent on Jenkins' fantasy line. In general, Jenkins has done well as a starter this season and will be a good fantasy option if he remains in the first unit against the defense-challenged Bucks.

Duncan Robinson Absent Against Atlanta

Detroit Pistons guard Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't play on Monday against Atlanta. The 31-year-old hasn't missed a game this season. Unfortunately, that will come to an end on Monday night after he tweaked his ankle during the win over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Robinson's next chance to play will be on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Daniss Jenkins, averaging 19.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in four starts, will presumably take his place in the rotation, although he may have a tough time being as productive with Caris LeVert (knee) and Cade Cunningham in the equation.

Jalen Duren Back in the Lineup on Monday Evening

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (leg) will play on Monday versus the Hawks after sitting out Saturday's 138-135 win over the Miami Heat. The 22-year-old has looked terrific this season despite missing three games, averaging a career-high 19.5 points and 11.8 rebounds with 1.1 blocks. He'll make his return against a Hawks team that won't have Kristaps Porzingis (illness), which could certainly increase his fantasy ceiling. Duren's presence should mean Isaiah Stewart, who had nine points and eight boards on Saturday, will head back to the bench.
