Tobias Harris Out Against Kings

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) will not suit up for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. He has been downgraded from questionable to out, resulting in his third consecutive absence. Dennis Schroder will remain in the starting unit on Monday, while Harris' absence also elevates the fantasy value of Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley. Harris has played in only one of the last five games, so it remains to be seen whether he will recover well enough from his heel injury to be available for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks.

Jalen Duren Cleared To Play Monday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) will hop back into action on Monday against the Sacramento Kings. He is set to return from a one-game absence, having shaken off a questionable tag. On Monday, Duren has a chance to register his first five-game double-double streak of the season. He has averaged 15.8 points and 13.8 boards with 1.8 blocks over his past four appearances. Duren finished this season's first meeting with the Kings with 13 points and 10 rebounds. However, Domantas Sabonis, who leads the NBA in rebounding, skipped that game. Monday's battle on the boards promises to be more challenging for Duren.

Tobias Harris Iffy For Monday's Game Versus Kings

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) is in danger of missing his third consecutive game after picking up a questionable status for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran has been suffering from some soreness in his left heel. The Pistons have already clinched a playoff berth, so they're likely going to be a bit cautious with only four games remaining on their schedule. If Harris is forced to miss another game, Dennis Schroder and Ausar Thompson should both continue to see a bump in usage. Malik Beasley should also keep seeing big minutes off the bench. Thompson has the highest fantasy ceiling of the three as displayed by his last game, where he posted 18 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block.

Jalen Duren Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings and could miss his second consecutive game due to the same lower leg issue. The young big man has already hit a career-high in games played in a season and boasts averages of 11.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. If he's unable to play on Monday, Isaiah Stewart should get another starting nod. In their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Stewart registered 16 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocks. He serves as a great streaming option and a cheaper DFS option if he gets another start.

Tobias Harris Out Again On Saturday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. He has a sore heel, so he'll miss his second-consecutive game on Saturday night. Ausar Thompson will continue to handle things at the four spot, with the 22-year-old amassing 15 points, seven boards, three steals, and two blocks in Friday's win over the Raptors. While Thompson remains a viable fantasy commodity, the return of Cade Cunningham (calf) could result in a dip in scoring opportunities.

Cade Cunningham Cleared To Suit Up On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) will suit up on Saturday against Memphis after missing the last six games because of a calf contusion. It's possible the 23-year-old plays fewer than the 35 minutes he's averaged throughout the 2024-25 campaign, but that doesn't mean he should be left out of fantasy lineups. With that in mind, Cunningham's return could result in a dip in production from Dennis Schroder, who has amassed double-digit scoring performances in five of his last six appearances, all as a starter.

Jalen Duren Ruled Out Versus Memphis

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. He recently had 21 points, 18 rebounds, and four blocks in Friday's win over the Raptors. He'll sit this one out, but fantasy managers are hoping things aren't too serious. With Tobias Harris (heel) also out, the team will look to Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson to handle most of the minutes at the four and the five spots, giving them both higher fantasy ceilings on Saturday night.

Tobias Harris Questionable Against Memphis

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis. The veteran has been bothered by heel soreness, most recently keeping him off the floor for Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors. Detroit is heading to the playoffs, so it's possible Harris gets a few more games off in order to be ready. Fortunately, Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable, which will help lessen the blow. But if Harris remains out, Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley, combining for 36 points versus the Raptors, should continue to receive more work, with one of them expected to stay in the starting lineup.

Cade Cunningham Expected To Play Versus Memphis

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies. He's missed the last six games because of a calf contusion. As a result, Dennis Schroder has been filling in at the one, most recently amassing 16 points, seven assists, and one steal in Friday's 117-105 win over the Toronto Raptors. Schroder will likely head back to the bench, assuming Cunningham is officially cleared to suit up, decreasing his fantasy potential. Cunningham's presence should also lead to fewer scoring opportunities for Tim Hardaway Jr. and Malik Beasley, with Marcus Sasser in danger of falling out of the rotation altogether.

Cade Cunningham Out Of Action Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The All-Star point guard will miss his sixth consecutive contest with a left calf contusion. With Cunningham sidelined for one more game, Dennis Schroder, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Malik Beasley should all continue to receive an uptick in minutes. Especially with Tobias Harris (heel) also out, Schroder and Hardaway will be leaned on for more offense. Schroder finished with 15 points, seven assists, and four rebounds, while Hardaway posted 23 points (8-14 FG), three assists, and three rebounds in their last outing.

Cade Cunningham In Danger Of Missing Friday's Game

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) remains on the injury report for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The All-Star point guard is considered questionable after missing the last five consecutive games with a left calf contusion. He was listed as doubtful ahead of their last game, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he's forced to miss one more game, Dennis Schroder, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Malik Beasley should all continue getting some extra minutes. Especially with Tobias Harris (heel) ruled out, Schroder and Hardaway will be leaned on for some more offense. In their last game, Schroder posted 15 points, seven assists, and four rebounds. Hardaway registered 23 points (8-14 FG), three assists, and three rebounds.

Cade Cunningham Likely Out For Fifth Straight Game

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder, making it likely that he will sit out a fifth consecutive game. A calf injury has paused his impressive season. Dennis Schroder is filling in for Cunningham as the starting point guard and will have an opportunity to post a third consecutive double-double in Wednesday's game. At the same time, Malik Beasley's offensive role has grown. He finished Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves as Detroit's top scorer, hitting 6-for-13 from deep en route to 27 points.

Ron Holland II Tagged With A One-Game Suspension Tuesday

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Detroit Pistons small forward Ron Holland II (suspension) will serve a one-game suspension due to his involvement in an on-court altercation that included several players during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Holland will have to miss Wednesday's contest against the Thunder, but he will be available to make his return for Friday's matchup with the Raptors. Marcus Sasser was also suspended for one game, while Isaiah Stewart got a two-game ban.

On Tuesday, the NBA suspended Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser (suspension) for one game, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Sasser was thrown out in the second quarter of Sunday's contest against Minnesota after a scuffle with several players. He will be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Thunder.

Isaiah Stewart Suspended For Two Games On Tuesday

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the NBA suspended Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (suspension) for two games on Tuesday. The 23-year-old was ejected from Sunday's game against Minnesota due to an on-court altercation that involved several players. Stewart has to sit Wednesday against the Thunder and Friday versus the Raptors. Teammates Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland were also involved in the scuffle and will serve a one-game suspension. While these players are out of action, Paul Reed, Lindy Waters, and Simone Fontecchio will likely see an uptick in minutes but will not make much of an impact, fantasy-wise.

Tobias Harris Probable Versus Minnesota

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (Achilles) is expected to play on Sunday night against Minnesota. The veteran has averaged 13.8 points and 6.1 rebounds this season, both down from the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's appeared in 69 games. Harris didn't suit up for Friday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, opening the door for Tim Hardaway Jr. to enter the starting lineup. While Harris' anticipated availability should mean fewer scoring opportunities for Hardaway and others, the expected absence of Cade Cunningham (calf) should keep everyone more involved than usual.

Dennis Schroder Expected To Face The Timberwolves

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder (quadriceps) is expected to play on Sunday versus Minnesota. Schroder is coming off another solid outing, amassing 17 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds in Friday's win over the Cavaliers. If he's upgraded from probable, fantasy managers should consider him a must-start, assuming Cade Cunningham (calf) misses a fourth-consecutive contest. However, if both men are ruled out, Marcus Sasser could find his way into the starting lineup, with Tim Hardaway Jr., Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, and Malik Beasley in line for more scoring opportunities. That would also apply to Tobias Harris (Achilles), who is listed as probable.

Cade Cunningham Doubtful For Sunday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is doubtful heading toward Sunday's meeting with the Timberwolves. If he doesn't suit up, it will mark his fourth-straight absence. However, the Pistons are going to the playoffs, so the team needs him healthy. Dennis Schroder (quadriceps), who is probable, will likely remain in the starting lineup at the one. Marcus Sasser, coming off a four-point effort in Friday's win over Cleveland, should play better this time around.

Cade Cunningham Won't Play On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) won't play on Friday night versus Cleveland. Detroit currently sits comfortably in the playoff picture, so allowing Cunningham to fully recover from a calf contusion makes the most sense. Dennis Schroder has been starting in his place, most recently scoring seven points in Tuesday's win over the San Antonio Spurs. Yet, it has been Marcus Sasser who has benefited the most from his increased playing time, with the 24-year-old combining for 47 points while Cunningham has been on the shelf (two games).

Cade Cunningham Sidelined On Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) won't be playing against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. A left calf contusion will keep Cunningham sidelined for a second consecutive game. When Cunningham exited the lineup on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Dennis Schroder was the starting point guard. He struggled with his shooting but did a decent job, notching 16 points, five assists, and two steals in a 136-130 win. Marcus Sasser saw increased playing time off the bench and put up 20 points. With Cunningham on the shelf, both players will maintain additional fantasy value this evening.
