Jaden Ivey A Late Scratch On Monday Because Of Knee Pain

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) was a late scratch on Monday versus Miami because of left knee pain. He was already announced as a starter before the team pulled him from the game. Malik Beasley filled in for Ivey in the first unit and had a great night with a season-high 28 points on 7-for-13 three-point shooting. Ivey's issue doesn't sound serious, but fantasy managers should definitely monitor the situation. Beasley led the Pistons in scoring on Monday and will have additional fantasy value if Ivey remains out. Detroit returns to the court Thursday night versus Utah.

Isaiah Stewart Exits Game Early, Will Not Return

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (knee) exited Monday night's game against the Miami Heat early and will not return. The team is stating that he has a hyperextended left knee. Stewart scored four points and grabbed three boards before exiting in with 9:10 left in the second quarter. The 23-year-old was contesting a layup by Terry Rozier and was in visible pain after landing. He has averaged 6.1 PPG and 6.1 RPG this season. Should he be forced to miss an extended period of time, expect Jalen Duren to get more minutes as a starter with Detroit's other option at center being Paul Reed, who they recently resigned on Monday after waiving him just two days prior.

Paul Reed Returning To Pistons

The Detroit Pistons have re-signed forward Paul Reed on Monday. This news comes two days after Reed was waived by the organization. It sounds like the Pistons attempted to trade Reed, but they couldn't find a legitimate partner. They've decided to bring him back as depth, but he's unlikely to make an impact in the rotation with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart both healthy. Reed is averaging 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 10 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers can ignore Reed with him playing a minimal role off the bench right now.

Tobias Harris Won't Suit Up Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat due to a thumb sprain. This is only the second game he's missed so far this season, and it doesn't seem like this is a long-term injury. In his place, Ron Holland II could move into the starting five while Jalen Duren could see some added minutes as well if they want to go with a bigger lineup. Holland received 21 minutes in their last game against the Celtics and posted 26 points, three rebounds, and one turnover off of the bench. So he could make a solid streaming option for the time being.

Pistons Waiving Paul Reed

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Pistons are waiving forward Paul Reed. The 2020 No. 58 overall pick began his career by spending four years in Philadelphia, where he had some productive showings. But after the Sixers waived him, he was claimed by the Pistons. Unfortunately, things didn't work out in Detroit, with Reed averaging only 4.8 points in 12 games. He'll likely draw plenty of interest from clubs around the National Basketball Association, especially from teams looking to bolster depth. But regardless of where Reed lands next, he'll need minutes before earning a place on fantasy rosters.

Jalen Duren Ruled Out For Thursday's Contest

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man was tagged as questionable coming into this game, but Duren will officially sit out due to a wrist sprain. The loss of Duren should mean an increased role for Isaiah Stewart in the rotation. Stewart has been quiet lately but figures to have more fantasy value with an expanded role on Thursday. He's worth a look as a streaming option with Duren unavailable.

Jalen Duren Could Miss Thursday's Game

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man was a late addition to the injury report due to a wrist issue. Duren missed some time in November due to a wrist sprain, so possibly this is related to his wrist sprain from last month. If Duren sits, Isaiah Stewart would likely see an increased role in the rotation. Stewart has been quiet lately, but could be worth a look as a streaming option with extra playing time.

Ausar Thompson Ready To Return On Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against Boston. He's set to return from a two-game absence. Thompson battled an illness last week and also missed time due to a groin problem. Following a bout with blood clots, Thompson has been limited to five appearances this season. He's averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 15.2 minutes. Thompson is capable of helping out fantasy managers in many areas, but he needs more playing time to make a significant contribution.

Ausar Thompson Considered Questionable For Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks due to left adductor soreness. Thompson missed Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to illness, and now his groin issue is putting his availability for Saturday in doubt. In his five games this season, Thompson has averaged 15.2 minutes, 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. If he's unable to play, Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio are likely to see more minutes off the bench. Fantasy managers will be hoping Thompson can stay healthy and consistently contribute moving forward.

Ausar Thompson Sidelined On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (rest) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics after playing 14 minutes in Tuesday's contest against the Bucks, where he contributed eight points and five rebounds. The Pistons are holding him out for injury maintenance, giving Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio a chance to see additional minutes. Thompson, in his second year, has played just five games this season, averaging 15.2 minutes and 6.0 points per game, leaving fantasy managers hopeful for improvement as he regains full health.

Cade Cunningham Removed From Injury Report

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cunningham appears to be ready to return after missing four of the last five games due to a lingering hip issue. The expectation is that Cunningham will be a full-go for this game, so fantasy managers can get him back in there. Malik Beasley figures to head back to the bench and will lose some streaming appeal with Cunningham healthy again.

Cade Cunningham A Late Scratch On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will miss Saturday's game against Philadelphia as a late scratch. The Pistons star returned from a three-game absence on Friday versus Indiana with a strong double-double performance and was expected to play against the 76ers, but he heads back to the shelf. Malik Beasley will jump back into the starting lineup. The veteran has averaged 19.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in six starts this season.

Tobias Harris Active Versus Pacers

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of tip-off against Indiana on Friday. The veteran returns to the lineup after missing the previous game with a hip issue. Through 19 appearances, Harris has been limited to 13.8 points on 44.4 percent shooting this season, grabbing 7.2 rebounds. Harris' return means a bench role for Ausar Thompson, with Simone Fontecchio and Ronald Holland II also losing playing time. Indiana struggles defensively, making this a good matchup for Harris, but he managed only 13 points in the first head-to-head meeting of the season.

Cade Cunningham Returns To Pistons Lineup Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will rejoin the action on Friday versus Indiana. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Cunningham returns from a three-game absence and lines up in a fascinating matchup against Tyrese Haliburton. The Pistons star outplayed his counterpart in this season's first meeting, netting 28 points with five rebounds, eight assists, and one steal. Cunningham's return will push Malik Beasley back to the bench, but he should still play a significant role in the rotation.

Cade Cunningham Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Cunningham has missed the last three games due to a hip issue, but was active during shootaround on Friday. The fact he was able to participate in shootaround is a good sign, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off for official word on his status. Malik Beasley would likely see increased run if Cunningham is unable to play. He's worth a look as a streaming option, but has lost some steam over the last few games.

Tobias Harris In Danger Of Missing First Game Of The Season

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) might have to sit out his first game of the season when the team visits Memphis on Wednesday. The veteran forward has been listed as questionable for the clash. Harris is among Detroit's leading rebounders, grabbing 7.2 boards per game, and has averaged 13.8 points in 33.2 minutes. With Cade Cunningham (hip) unlikely to return on Wednesday, there are going to be a lot of shots available for Jaden Ivey, Malik Beasley, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Simone Fontecchio, Ausar Thompson, and Ronald Holland II might receive more playing time due to Harris' absence. Thompson's versatility makes him the best fantasy option out of the three players.

Cade Cunningham Listed As Doubtful For Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) remains on the injury report with a doubtful tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Memphis. It appears likely that the Pistons star will be forced to sit out a third consecutive game. As a result of Cunningham's absence, Malik Beasley has rejoined the first unit, hitting seven threes in two games while posting 32 points. Meanwhile, Jaden Ivey has started to operate more as a playmaker and flirted with a double-double last time out, finishing a 102-100 win over Toronto with a team-high 25 points and eight assists.

Cade Cunningham Ruled Out For Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday versus Toronto. The team initially had him as doubtful for the matchup and has now ruled him out. Malik Beasley will likely make another start, with Marcus Sasser having a chance to see extra action off the bench. Cunningham's absence also means more play-making duties for Jaden Ivey. These two teams struggle defensively, making this a good matchup to target for fantasy managers.

Cade Cunningham Unlikely To Return On Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been listed as doubtful for Monday's tilt against Toronto, meaning he will likely miss a second consecutive game. Cunningham has injured his left sacroiliac joint and missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus Orlando. Malik Beasley rejoined the starting five as a result of Cunnigham's injury and produced a good outing with 18 points and four assists on 4-for-9 shooting from deep. Meanwhile, Marcus Sasser saw more minutes in the rotation, contributing 13 points with a couple of assists and one steal. Beasley was recently Detroit's leading scorer with 20 points in a 99-95 win in an NBA Cup game against the Raptors and will look to repeat the success on Monday.

Ausar Thompson To Play On Saturday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (conditioning) will play in Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 21-year-old averaged 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals as a rookie. Unfortunately, he was limited to only 63 games before being sidelined in March because of a blood clot. Thompson likely won't see his usual workload in his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. But with Cade Cunningham (hip) out, Thompson could get a few additional scoring opportunities.
