Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ivey was a late addition to the injury report, with soreness in his left knee on Wednesday, and he didn't play against Minnesota. Cade Cunningham (knee) will be available to help out Detroit's depleted backcourt. Malachi Flynn could be in line to see some more minutes during the contest also.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ivey was a late addition to the injury report, with soreness in his left knee on Wednesday, and he didn't play against Minnesota. Cade Cunningham (knee) and Quentin Grimes (knee) are also questionable. The 12-61 Pistons could be severely short in the backcourt against the 14-59 Wizards. Marcus Sasser and Malachi Flynn could be in line for many minutes.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is now listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ivey being a late addition to the injury report with soreness in his left knee is not a good sign for his chances of suiting up on Wednesday. With Cade Cunningham (knee) also iffy, the 12-60 Pistons could be severely undermanned in the backcourt against a vaunted Minnesota defense that's holding point guards to the fifth-fewest DraftKings points this season. Marcus Sasser (illness), who is probable, and Malachi Flynn could be in line for big minutes for Detroit in this one, and although they wouldn't be the most appetizing season-long streamers during the fantasy semifinals, they're worth watching as DFS salary-relief options on a massive 12-game slate.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Ivey is experiencing soreness in his right ankle ahead of the second leg of Detroit's back-to-back, but he is likely to be available Tuesday. Chicago ranks eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing shooting guards, per DraftKings scoring, but the 22-year-old offensive-minded guard is worth deploying in all season-long points leagues as long as he's in the Pistons first unit.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) will play in Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old missed his last four games because of an illness. However, he had been phased out of Monty Williams' rotation before his extended absence, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a productive showing, even more so with Alec Burks (forearm) back in the mix.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) is questionable for Sunday's Central Division showdown with the Chicago Bulls. The 21-year-old is battling a non-COVID-related illness, keeping him off the floor for the team's previous four games. Unfortunately, Ivey has struggled this season, averaging 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, all down from his rookie campaign. As a result of his unproductive play and unavailability of late, he's already worked his way off most fantasy rosters. But if anything, another absence from Ivey could keep Marcus Sasser relevant, with the 2023 No. 25 overall pick averaging 10.7 points and shooting 43.9% from deep this season.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) has been ruled out of the team's in-season tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. His type of illness and timetable to return hasn't been disclosed by the team just yet, so it's unclear how many games Ivey will end up missing. He's missed the last three games and will miss his fourth in a row on Friday. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for any more updates after this game, but for streaming options, Marcus Sasser should see big minutes off of the bench while Joe Harris (shoulder) is also out. Stanley Umude and Jared Rhoden saw some minutes in their last contest, but they would be riskier options at this time.
Pistons Without Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks Against Bucks
Detroit Pistons guards Jaden Ivey (illness) and Alec Burks (forearm) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ivey hasn't played since Nov. 2 due to an illness, and Burks was last seen on Oct. 30 after he sustained a left forearm contusion. They'll both look to suit back up on Friday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. With Joe Harris (shoulder) also down with an injury in addition to several other key contributors, Detroit's depth is being tested very early on during the 2023-24 campaign. It leaves head coach Monty Williams heavily dependent on Cade Cunningham to dominate usage, while 2023 first-rounders Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser figure to receive run in the 30-minute range against the Bucks. In a nightmarish scenario on the road with a depleted Pistons rotation, there's some inherent blowout risk attached to Wednesday's game for both sides.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) has been ruled out on Monday after head coach Monty Williams said that the illness will keep him out of their contest against the Detroit Pistons. Ivey was originally listed as questionable but was downgraded after workouts and warmups leading up to tipoff. Marcus Sasser will likely see added minutes off of the bench like he did during their last game with Ivey watching from the sidelines. Joe Harris should also see some opportunities while the starters will likely play heavy minutes again.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Suns. The 21-year-old hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.8 points, a significant decrease from the 2022-23 campaign. Even worse, he hasn't started a game this year. With Ivey battling an unknown illness, it's anyone's guess if he'll be back for Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Detroit also won't have Alec Burks (forearm), who remains out with a forearm injury. As a result, Joe Harris and Marcus Sasser are worth considering for DFS contests. At the same time, Sasser and Harris should be regarded as risky, high-upside fantasy options in season-long setups.
