Tobias Harris Remains Out On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (personal) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is out of the lineup due to personal reasons. Malik Beasley looks set to earn another start with Harris unavailable. He has been among the league's best three-point shooters in 2024-25, nailing 42.4 percent of his attempts from behind the arc. Beasley averages 16.6 points per game and has pushed his production to 20.1 in the games he has started.

Isaiah Stewart Unavailable Monday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (back) will not play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He will be held out of the contest due to a lower back contusion. If Stewart recovers quickly, he might return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. On Monday, we should see Paul Reed fill the backup center minutes. It is unlikely he will see much time on the court behind starter Jalen Duren, but it's a good matchup for the Pistons' big men, as Utah allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

Tobias Harris Ruled Out For Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Harris will miss this game due to personal reasons, which will be his first absence since the middle of December. Malik Beasley is a candidate to move into the starting five with Harris sidelined. Beasley was already a fairly decent streaming choice, but his fantasy value should increase with a move into the starting five. Fantasy managers might want to take a look at Beasley with Harris unable to play on Monday.

Simone Fontecchio Returns From Two-Game Absence

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (finger) will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. He is back in the fold after missing two games due to a dislocated finger. Fontecchio's return provides an additional frontcourt option for the Pistons, but he is unlikely to have much impact in fantasy basketball. The Italian forward has been limited to 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes this season.

Dennis Schroder Back In Action Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. He has been cleared for action after sitting out one game due to a left ankle sprain. Schroder has not been an attractive fantasy piece since his move to Detroit. In six games with the Pistons, the 2023 World Cup MVP has averaged 8.2 points and 4.2 assists in 18.2 minutes. Schroder will continue in a bench role on Friday.

Simone Fontecchio Unavailable Monday Against Clippers

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Fontecchio dislocated a finger in his right hand in a 148-143 win over the Hawks on Sunday. The 29-year-old could be back on the floor on Wednesday versus the Celtics if the injury doesn't keep him out of the Pistons rotation long term. While Fontecchio is out of action, Ron Holland II and Isaiah Stewart will likely see an uptick in minutes. However, neither player will make much of an impact in fantasy this evening.

Cade Cunningham Available Versus Charlotte

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is available for Sunday's matchup with Charlotte. He wasn't available for Friday's win over the 76ers. As a result, Malik Beasley entered the starting lineup and finished with 36 points, a career-high. But with Cunningham back in the Mix, Beasley will head back to the bench, which should lower his fantasy potential.

Dennis Schroder Available Against The Hornets

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder (trade pending) is available for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. The veteran has bounced around the National Basketball Association this season, suiting up for the Nets and Warriors before getting shipped to the Pistons ahead of the deadline. While he could have a rough time finding consistent minutes in Detroit, he should at least overthrow Marcus Sasser for the spot behind Cade Cunningham (ankle). With that said, Schroder should have spells of efficiency moving forward, although he likely won't be a consistent fantasy performer. Unfortunately, his ceiling might decrease significantly if Jaden Ivey (leg) can work his way back from a broken Fibula.

Cade Cunningham Misses Friday's Action

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. An ankle sprain initially left Cunningham with a questionable tag ahead of the game, but he has now been officially ruled out. Malik Beasley will replace Cunningham in the first unit. Beasley has been effective throughout the campaign, and his numbers usually receive a slight boost when he gets the nod to start. In 11 starts this campaign, Beasley has averaged 19.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists.

Dennis Schroder Won't Make Pistons Debut On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder won't debut for his new club against the 76ers on Friday after recently being acquired in a trade with the Golden State Warriors. The 31-year-old was recently a part of the huge Jimmy Butler trade on Wednesday. Schroder could boost fantasy manager's lineups as he could see an expanded role with the Pistons. He's averaged 14.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest across 46 games this season. His next opportunity to return to the court and debut for the Pistons comes on Sunday versus Charlotte.

Cade Cunningham May Miss Friday's Game Against 76ers

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is listed as questionable for the contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday due to an ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't been forced to miss a game since late November, so there's a chance the team could use this as a rest day. If that's the case, the Pistons would have a huge hole in their playmaking department. Malik Beasley could enter the starting five while Ron Holland II and Marcus Sasser will likely see increased minutes as well. Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. would be the safer streaming options. The latter dropped 20 points, three rebounds, and one assist in their last game on Wednesday.

Dennis Schroder Flipped To The Pistons

The Detroit Pistons acquired guard Dennis Schroder as part of the complicated Jimmy Butler trade that landed Butler in Golden State and Schroder in the Motor City with a stop in Utah, although he never played for the Jazz. Schroder started the season with the Nets and played 23 games, averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists before being traded to Golden State. He played 24 games with the Warriors but never seemed to fully gel with his new squad. He played 24 games with the Warriors, averaging 10.6 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.3 rebounds. Schroder will bring some nice veteran depth to the Pistons backcourt behind Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and he could help fill in for Ivey in the short term while Ivey works his way back from a fractured fibula.

Dennis Schroder Traded To Jazz

The Utah Jazz have acquired guard Dennis Schroder in a five-team trade on Wednesday. It looked like Schroder was going to end up with the Miami Heat, but instead he'll go to Utah. Schroder has moved around quite a bit this season, but this is a less than ideal landing spot for him. The Jazz are in the middle of a rebuild and really have no need for Schroder. Possibly, Schroder will get decent playing time right now with Collin Sexton (ankle) being sidelined. However, Schroder will probably get lost in the mix once Sexton is back. Fantasy managers who have Schroder rostered shouldn't get their hopes up.

Kenyon Martin Jr. Heading To Detroit

Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Detroit Pistons acquired forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) along with 2027 and 2031 second-round draft picks from the 76ers on Wednesday. In return, the Pistons will take on Martin's salary. Martin hasn't played since December 23rd due to a left foot stress reaction. However, he was a full participant in practice on Monday and could see an expanded role off the bench for his new club once he is healthy and ready to return.

Isaiah Stewart Misses Friday's Game Due To Suspension

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart will not play on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks due to a suspension. Stewart has been suspended for one game for picking up his sixth flagrant foul in Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. With Stewart unavailable, starting center Jalen Duren might carry a heavier workload, with Paul Reed serving as his backup. Duren has enjoyed his best form of the season lately, posting six double-doubles in seven games.

Isaiah Stewart Ejected On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers after getting handed a Flagrant 2 foul. Stewart only lasted eight minutes on the court before elbowing Thomas Bryant to the floor which resulted in his ejection from the contest. He'll finish the night with one point and one assist, so fantasy managers won't get much from him on Wednesday. His next chance to play will be against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. Jalen Duren and Paul Reed should see increased roles with the Pistons shorthanded the rest of the night.

Tobias Harris Will Play On Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (head) has received the green light to play in Monday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harris' availability was initially uncertain for the contest after he suffered a head injury over the weekend against the Orlando Magic, and the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. The veteran forward has struggled badly lately, shooting only 31.6 percent from the field over his past three appearances. He was limited to 33.3 percent shooting by the Cavaliers in this season's first head-to-head clash, as Harris finished with 10 points, five rebounds, and four assists.

Tobias Harris Questionable Against Cavaliers

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (head) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He took an elbow to the head in their last game against the Magic and has suffered some headaches since then. The good news is that he was available for shootaround on Monday morning, but there hasn't been an official decision on his status just yet. If he's unable to play, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Ausar Thompson should see added minutes while Malik Beasley likely joins the starting five. When Harris left against the Magic, Beasley played 30 minutes and posted 18 points, five rebounds, two assists, and one steal.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Available To Play Against Toronto

Detroit Pistons guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) will be able to return to the floor for the Pistons on Saturday night when they host the Raptors. Hardaway was originally listed as questionable after being a late scratch for Thursday's contest due to back tightness. He had been starting for Detroit and getting a little more work with Jaden Ivey (leg) out. The veteran averaged 13.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.4 three-pointers in 31 minutes in his last five games before being sidelined. His return will move Malik Beasley to the second unit while Ron Holland II and Marcus Sasser will likely have less work off the bench as well.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Will Not Play Against The Warriors

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) will not play in Thursday's contest against Golden State. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a back issue, and the injury will keep the veteran sniper sidelined on Thursday. Ausar Thompson (illness) will take over Hardaway Jr.'s spot in the starting unit. Thompson has been battling an illness lately, missing two games, and might not be at his best on Thursday.
