Jalen Duren Posts Quiet Line in Series Opener

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren finished with eight points, seven rebounds, one assist, and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's Eastern Conference first-round loss to Orlando. He played solid minutes but had limited involvement, attempting just four shots and failing to make a consistent impact offensively. Duren's role remains secure, but his DFS value depends on increased usage and activity on the glass. Cade Cunningham continues to dominate touches, while Tobias Harris may take on more scoring responsibility if Duren remains a low-usage option.

Cade Cunningham Erupts for 39 Points in Playoff Opener

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham poured in 39 points with five rebounds, four assists, and three three-pointers in 40 minutes during Sunday's loss to Orlando. He handled the bulk of the offense, scoring consistently and drawing fouls, but had limited support as the Pistons struggled to find efficient offense. Cunningham's high usage gives him a strong DFS ceiling, though assists may be inconsistent if shots aren't falling around him. Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren need to provide more consistent scoring to ease the burden.

Cade Cunningham Playing Without Minutes Restriction Sunday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) will shed his minutes restriction for Sunday's playoff opener against the Orlando Magic, Eric Rutter of Roundtable reports. After returning from a collapsed lung late in the regular season, Cunningham was limited to just 25.3 minutes per game across three contests. On Sunday, he should be ready for a full workload of 30-plus minutes. Cunningham has been a nightmare for the Magic this season, averaging 32.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 37.7 minutes per game against them.

Cade Cunningham, Luka Doncic Cleared for Awards Eligibility

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham and Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic are now eligible for all 2025-26 season honors, according to Shams Charania, after winning their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge to the 65-game rule. Both remain elite fantasy anchors, with Doncic averaging 33.5 points, 4.0 three-pointers, 7.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.6 steals, while Cunningham posted 23.9 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 5.5 rebounds, 9.9 assists and 1.4 steals across 64 games. This removes any award-related uncertainty in keeper formats. Anthony Edwards was denied, slightly lowering his end-of-season accolade outlook.

Cade Cunningham Records 14 Assists Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham produced seven points, eight rebounds, and 14 assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's win over Indiana. Detroit limited his workload late in the season after his return, but he still orchestrated the offense efficiently and led the team in assists. With the Pistons entering the playoffs as the top seed in the East, Cunningham appears on track to handle a larger role moving forward. His playmaking boosts teammates like Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson, making him a strong fantasy option in the postseason.

Kevin Huerter • SG • Pistons

Kevin Huerter Back in Action Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (illness) has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his return from a one-game absence on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Huerter's production has recently increased, but that came during Cade Cunningham's absence. The Pistons' leader returned to action on Wednesday against Milwaukee, and Huerter will likely need to adjust to a smaller offensive role in his return to the lineup. Detroit's entire second unit could have a quiet outing, as Charlotte ranks fifth in the league for fewest bench points allowed.

Isaiah Stewart • PF • Pistons

Isaiah Stewart is Available on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart (calf) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Stewart is finally back after missing the last 13 games due to a calf injury. The expectation is that Stewart will be eased back into the rotation with only three games left in the regular season. The Pistons aren't going to push him too hard with the playoffs on the horizon. With that being said, Stewart is unlikely to be a favorable DFS option with limited playing time. Ron Holland II and Javonte Green could see reduced roles with Stewart back in the mix.

Cade Cunningham is Officially Returning on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (lung) is officially back in action ahead of Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to get through shootaround without any problems. Cunningham is good to go after missing the last 11 games due to a collapsed lung. The assumption is that Cunningham will operate under a minutes limit. He probably won't have a significant workload until the playoffs begin, so DFS managers might want to look elsewhere for help. Daniss Jenkins should see a reduced role in the rotation with Cunningham officially back.

Cade Cunningham Expected to Suit Up Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (chest) is expected to play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, per Vincent Goodwill of ESPN.com. Despite still carrying a questionable tag, Cunningham should be upgraded to available soon, as he went through shootaround without any issues. The 24-year-old star guard is averaging 24.5 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 5.6 rebounds, and 9.9 assists in 34.4 minutes across 61 games this season. Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser would likely lose usage in Cunningham's return.

Isaiah Stewart Might Be an Option for Pistons Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. Ahead of Monday's game against Orlando, Stewart was upgraded to doubtful on the injury report, and he has now received another upgrade. The 24-year-old has been out of action since mid-March due to a left calf strain. Stewart's return will significantly affect how much the Pistons use Paul Reed. He could be limited to only a handful of minutes, with Jalen Duren also healthy.

Duncan Robinson • SG • Pistons

Duncan Robinson Available Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (hip) will play Wednesday against Milwaukee after missing one game, reclaiming his role as a floor-spacing starter. The veteran shooter is averaging 12.0 points and 2.9 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes across 74 games, giving him late-season streaming value for managers chasing triples. His return likely trims wing minutes for Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green, making both less reliable deep-league plays. Robinson's shooting should also help Detroit maintain better offensive spacing.

Tobias Harris • SF • Pistons

Tobias Harris Set to Return Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (knee) will play Wednesday against Milwaukee after missing one game, returning to his usual starting role. The veteran forward has averaged 12.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over his last five games and remains a low-upside option in standard leagues with Detroit largely healthy. His return likely pushes Paul Reed back to the bench after Reed logged 19 minutes as a spot starter, limiting his short-term streaming value. Harris being back should also mean more normal roles for Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren, making surprise usage bumps less likely.

Cade Cunningham • PG • Pistons

Cade Cunningham Questionable Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (chest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee as he works toward a potential return with only three games left in the regular season. Cunningham is averaging 24.5 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 5.6 rebounds, and 9.9 assists in 34.4 minutes across 61 games, though his minutes could be managed if he plays. Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser would likely lose usage if Cunningham plays, while Ausar Thompson's secondary playmaking role could also shrink. Fantasy managers should expect some risk either way.

Isaiah Stewart • PF • Pistons

Isaiah Stewart Remains Out Monday vs. Orlando

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (calf) will remain sidelined Monday against Orlando as he continues recovering from a left calf strain that has now cost him 13 games. His absence keeps Paul Reed on the fantasy radar in deeper formats after he produced 10 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and one block in 18 minutes off the bench last game. Reed offers modest value for defensive stats and rebounds, while Jalen Duren should continue seeing secure starter minutes. Stewart remains a low-priority hold in most formats.

Duncan Robinson Iffy for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic after logging 11 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes Saturday. If he sits, Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert, and Ron Holland II could all see increased opportunities, with one likely moving into the starting lineup. Huerter posted five points, five rebounds, and six assists in 25 minutes in his last outing and could offer short-term value for assists and three-pointers. Holland's recent activity also puts him on the deep-league radar if Robinson is unavailable.

Tobias Harris Questionable Vs. Magic

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic after playing through the issue in his last outing. With Detroit already locked into playoff positioning, the team could take a cautious approach with its veteran forward. If Harris sits, Ron Holland II, Javonte Green, and Caris LeVert could see expanded roles. Holland finished with 11 points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block in 20 minutes in his last appearance, making him a possible deep-league streamer, while Green could enter the starting lineup if Harris is held out.

Marcus Sasser • PG • Pistons

Marcus Sasser Upgraded to Available

Detroit Pistons point guard Marcus Sasser (hip) will be active against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. The young guard has been upgraded from probable to available. Sasser will serve as the backup to Daniss Jenkins at the point guard position and is therefore not expected to make a major impact against Philadelphia. On Thursday night against Minnesota, Sasser was on the floor for only eight minutes, finishing with two points and one assist.

Tobias Harris Cleared to Play Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (knee) will be in the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran couldn't finish Thursday's win over Minnesota due to a left knee injury and was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt. Harris' offensive usage has recently increased due to Cade Cunningham's (lung) absence. Before his early exit on Thursday, Harris had a six-game stretch during which he averaged 15.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. He will look to remain sharp on Saturday night against his former team.

Jalen Duren • C • Pistons

Jalen Duren Available Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (illness) has received the green light to play on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to illness, with the team tagging him as questionable. However, the star big man has shaken off the illness and could be set for a big night on Saturday, as Philadelphia won't have Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) in the lineup. Since the Pistons lost Cade Cunningham (lung), Duren has upped his production to 24.2 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.

Jalen Duren • C • Pistons

Jalen Duren Added to Injury Report Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been listed as questionable due to illness. Duren could be out for the second time in four games. Filling in for Duren in the starting lineup on Monday against Oklahoma City, Paul Reed had a big game with 21 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, four blocks, and one steal. He should be eager to shine against his former team as well on Saturday. If Duren isn't available, Tolu Smith will also move up on the depth chart.
