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.
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.
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.
Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is active ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Stewart is back in the lineup after missing each of the last four games due to a hyperextended knee. His return to the lineup means that Paul Reed will see a reduced role and possibly fall out of the rotation completely. Jalen Duren should continue starting at the center spot with Stewart being his primary backup. Fantasy managers who have Stewart rostered can get him back in their lineups here.
Isaiah Stewart Tagged As Questionable For Thursday
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's road outing against Sacramento. He's missed the past three games with a sprained left knee. Jalen Duren's (ankle) minutes have gone up during Stewart's absence, with Paul Reed providing backup off the bench. Reed has just logged a season-high 20 minutes in Monday's 117-114 victory against the Lakers. Strangely, he failed to score in the contest but was busy in other areas of the game, amassing three rebounds with five assists, two blocks, and three steals. Meanwhile, Duren has averaged 10.3 points and 9.0 rebounds across the last three games without Stewart.
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This doesn't come as much of a shock after Stewart hyperextended his left knee during Monday's game. As a result, Stewart will miss his second straight game, so his next chance to play will be against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. Paul Reed figures to serve as the backup center while Stewart is out. Reed finished with 12 points and nine rebounds across 17 minutes on Thursday. That was a solid outing from Reed, but he 's unlikely to match that same performance on Saturday.
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.
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is cleared to play in Tuesday's matchup against Miami. He was listed as probable, so there wasn't much doubt concerning his availability. Stewart has been getting some extra minutes while Jalen Duren (ankle) was on the shelf the last two games. However, with Duren returning versus the Heat, Stewart's fantasy outlook isn't as favorable.
Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game versus the Miami Heat. With Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined for the last few games, Stewart has been handling business underneath the basket. However, he's struggled this season, averaging 5.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. But if Duren remains out, Stewart's ceiling should remain higher than usual. Yet, if Stewart and Duren don't suit up, Paul Reed would presumably slide into the starting lineup and gain streaming value, although will likely be just for a game or two.
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart will be used as a center in the upcoming campaign. Stewart started his career as a center but played the last two seasons mostly as a power forward. Now, he's set to feature as a center again, a position Stewart prefers. The six-foot-nine big man is expected to work as a backup behind Jalen Duren. It remains to be seen how Pistons head coach J. B. Bickerstaff splits the minutes between the two, but it's hard to imagine Stewart getting close to the 30.9 minutes he averaged last season, meaning his fantasy stock will take a hit.
