Jalen Duren Picks Up Two-Game Suspension

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren has been suspended for two games for his role in a brawl between the Pistons and Hornets on Monday. Duren was part of the initial scuffle between the two teams, which spread into a widespread fight. Charlotte's Moussa Diabate (two games), Miles Bridges (four), and Detroit's Isaiah Stewart (seven) also picked up suspensions for their roles in the brawl. Duren won't play Wednesday night against the Raptors or against the Knicks on February 19th. He will, however, be eligible to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday. Backup center Paul Reed will see a heavy uptick in minutes with Duren and Stewart away from the team.

Ron Holland II Misses Second Consecutive Game Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Ron Holland II (personal) will skip a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. He remains away from the team for personal reasons. Holland II averages 20.7 minutes per game this season, making him a significant loss from the rotation. With Holland II unavailable, Jevonte Green and Kevin Huerter see more playing time. Both were quiet in Monday's win over Charlotte. It could be a different story on Wednesday if Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart are suspended for their roles in Monday's brawl against the Hornets.

Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart Ejected After Brawl

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren and forward/center Isaiah Stewart were ejected from Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The two were involved in a brawl that erupted midway through the third quarter after Duren butted heads with Hornets big man Moussa Diabate and pushed him in the face. Stewart joined the altercation off the bench and appeared to throw multiple punches at Hornets forward Miles Bridges. The ugly incident is likely to result in multiple suspensions. Duren returned from a knee injury and was having a great game before he was kicked out. He finished with 15 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes. Paul Reed's workload increased after the ejections, as he finished with 12 points, three rebounds, and two steals.

Jalen Duren Probable Versus Charlotte

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) is considered probable for Monday's clash with the Charlotte Hornets. He didn't suit up on Friday night in the 118-80 win over the New York Knicks. As a result, Isaiah Stewart got the start, finishing with 15 points. Paul Reed was also more involved than usual, amassing 12 points, six boards, four assists, one block, and one steal in 26 minutes. With Duren anticipated to return to the lineup, Stewart's ceiling will be lower, although he'll remain a viable starting fantasy option. On the other hand, Reed won't offer much upside.

Daniss Jenkins, Pistons Agree on a Two-Year Deal

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Detroit Pistons guard Daniss Jenkins agreed to a two-year deal with the club. The 24-year-old went undrafted in 2024 and has been operating on two-way contracts with Detroit ever since. He played sparingly as a rookie. However, it's been a different story this season, with Jenkins averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in seven starts. With Jaden Ivey no longer in the picture, Jenkins should remain in line for a stable role from off the bench. He'll also presumably continue to start when necessary. With that said, unless Jenkins is with the first-five, he's hard to trust as a starting fantasy option on a day-to-day basis.

Tobias Harris is Cleared for Friday's Game

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Harris is returning to the court after missing Thursday's game due to a hip injury. He could see an uptick in playing time with Jalen Duren (knee) being ruled out for this game. Isaiah Stewart should shift over to the center spot, which could mean more total run for Harris at the forward position. This season, Harris is averaging 13.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 27.7 minutes per game. He's not an elite option, but he is consistent enough to be trusted in most fantasy formats.

Jalen Duren is Ruled Out for Friday's Game

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Duren was forced to make an early exit from Thursday's contest due to a knee injury. As a result, Duren was questionable coming into this game and will ultimately sit out. Without Duren available, Isaiah Stewart figures to move into the starting five. Stewart has been an inconsistent fantasy contributor this season. He should be a safer option on Friday, given Duren is unavailable. He could be worth a look for fantasy managers seeking an option for Friday's slate. Ronald Holland II and Paul Reed could also see more minutes, but Stewart is probably the best option among the three.

Jalen Duren Exits Early Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) won't return to Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He managed only four points and three rebounds in 13 minutes during the first half before being ruled out for the rest of the contest due to right knee soreness. Ron Holland II started the second half in Duren's place. Paul Reed will help fill the center minutes behind Isaiah Stewart. Hopefully, this isn't a serious injury for Duren, as he's been having a great year. Across 42 outings, Duren has averaged 18.0 points and 10.7 rebounds.

Kevin Huerter Ready for Pistons Debut Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter is available to make his team debut on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. He will start the game on the bench, but Huerter could see a decent amount of action to acclimate to his new teammates. There aren't many matchups better than this in the NBA to make a mark, as Washington holds a 120.0 defensive rating, the second-worst in the league.

Tobias Harris Won't Play Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) will miss the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. With Harris out, Isaiah Stewart will get a chance to make his 12th start of the season, giving his fantasy stock a significant boost. In his previous starts, Stewart has averaged 13.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 27.2 minutes. He and Jalen Duren could feast against a Wizards team that has had trouble against opposing bigs all season.

Cade Cunningham • PG • Pistons

Cade Cunningham Active Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) will be in the lineup on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. The star guard is managing a wrist injury and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Cunningham will try to extend his double-double streak to four games in a very favorable matchup against the second-worst defense in the Association. In his previous meeting with the Wizards, Cunningham finished with a huge 46-12-11 line.

Cade Cunningham Might Not Play Against Washington

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the visiting Wizards. The Pistons will face the Knicks on Friday, so Cunningham might get the night off to rest for the clash versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. If the 24-year-old doesn't suit up, Daniss Jenkins, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in seven starts this season, is the favorite to replace him in the rotation. Kevin Huerter (trade pending), who is questionable, may also receive some meaningful minutes right out of the gate.

Caris LeVert Cleared to Play Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (illness) will be active on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran is finally ready to return to action after an illness took him out for seven games. Coming off the bench, LeVert has averaged 7.9 points and 2.8 assists in 19.7 minutes with the Pistons this season. His addition to the rotation could take some minutes away from Ron Holland II and Daniss Jenkins.

Kevin Huerter • SG • Pistons

Kevin Huerter Traded to Detroit

The Detroit Pistons have acquired shooting guard Kevin Huerter in a three-way trade with the Chicago Bulls and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Huerter has spent the past two seasons with the Bulls, averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 26 minutes per game. With Huerter heading to Detroit, he should have a smaller role given the Pistons' depth at the shooting guard position. His path to fantasy value likely involves an injury or another move that opens more minutes for him to contribute. For the Bulls, newly acquired Jaden Ivey and Isaac Okoro should benefit from Huerter's departure.

Cade Cunningham Available Versus Nets

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will play on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has listed him as available after initially giving Cunningham a probable tag on the injury report. Detroit's leader is dealing with right hip soreness, but he also played through the issue on Friday against Golden State and didn't let it affect him. Across 35 minutes of action, Cunningham produced 29 points and 11 assists against the Warriors in a high-scoring game, giving him three double-doubles in four outings.

Cade Cunningham Ready to Rock Friday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will play on Friday night against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, ESPN's Anthony Slater reports. Detroit's leading man was a slight doubt for the game due to a sore right hip, but he has been cleared for action and will start the contest. After some disappointing outings earlier this month, Cunningham has been back to his best in recent games. He has averaged 25.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.0 steals over the last three contests.

Caris LeVert Remains Sidelined Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (illness) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran is having trouble shaking off an illness and was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report. In LeVert's absence, Daniss Jenkin has held a regular role in the rotation. However, his performances as a reserve have been up and down. LeVert's next chance to return will come on Sunday against his first NBA team, the Brooklyn Nets.

Caris LeVert Won't Suit up on Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. LeVert will miss his third straight game after being listed as doubtful on the injury report. His next chance to play will be Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets. The absence of LeVert should mean increased roles for Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser. Neither guard has great upside right now, but Ivey is the better streaming option between the two with LeVert out.

Cade Cunningham is Available on Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Cunningham will suit up for this game after being listed as probable on the injury report. He'll operate in his normal spot in the starting five. He sat out of Wednesday's game, but appears to be over the wrist injury now. Daniss Jenkins will see his value take a hit with Cunningham back in the mix. Fantasy managers should get Cunningham active in their lineups.
