Cade Cunningham (quad) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Cunningham is set to miss just his eighth game of the season.

Daniss Jenkins will likely start for the Pistons and is a recommended streaming option in standard leagues. |

Ausar Thompson (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Thompson appeared to roll his ankle early in the first quarter of Thursday's loss to the Spurs, so it's no surprise he's already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets with a right ankle sprain. Ron Holland (eye) could move into the starting lineup as he's off the injury report. |

Analysis: Duren is probable for Saturday's game against the Nets with low back spasms. The 22-year-old center is likely to suit up and will be looking to extend his streak of six consecutive games with a double-double. A first-time All-Star, Duren has been one of the most consistent centers in fantasy basketball this year. |

Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart chips in 18/6/2/1/1 line off bench
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 5:23 PM
Isaiah Stewart provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (4-of-8 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers on Thursday against the Spurs.
Analysis: In his second game back after serving a seven-game suspension, Stewart was able to make a big impact off the bench with Jalen Duren limited to 12 minutes due to foul trouble. This was a strong performance for Beef Stew in what has been a strong season for him, though performances like this won't come consistently when Duren is healthy. Still, this was a productive outing for him. |

Cade Cunningham Cunningham puts up 26/4/8 line with four triples
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 5:13 PM
Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 26 points (10-of-26 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers in a 121-106 loss to the Spurs on Thursday.
Analysis: Though this was another inefficient performance for Cunningham, he was better as a scorer than he was in Cleveland on Tuesday, when he was held to just 10 points. However, over his last five games, he has averaged 5.2 turnovers per game. Turnovers have been a weak category for him all season, but this has been a rough stretch by his standards. Still, the counting stats were strong, and he gets an easier matchup against the Nets in their next outing on Saturday. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson records 16/6/6/4/1 stat line
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 3:39 PM
Ausar Thompsonposted 16 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, four steals and one blocked shot in Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: A double-digit scorer in three of his last four games, Thompson has also recorded four complete stat lines during this stretch. Over his last four, the Pistons' wing has averaged 7.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.8 blocks while shooting nearly 70 percent from the field. Thompson may not bring much value to the table in points and three-pointers, but the ability to fill the stat line preserves his category league value. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham dishes out 14 assists vs. CLE
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 3:39 PM
Cade Cunningham tallied 10 points (4-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: The good news for Cunningham managers is that he recorded 14 assists, the most in a game for him since January 19, when he hit that number in a win over the Celtics. The Pistons' point guard has reached double figures in assists in six of his last seven games. The negatives on Tuesday were the shooting and the turnovers, with Cunningham shooting 25 percent from the field and turning the ball over five times. Nights like Tuesday haven't been the norm for the MVP candidate, so fantasy managers should not be overly concerned. |

Analysis: After totaling eight points on 3-of-11 shooting in games against the Spurs and Thunder to begin Week 18, Harris has reached double figures in three straight. He provided little value outside of points and rebounds on Tuesday, but the good news for fantasy managers is that the percentages were in a good place. The Pistons end Week 19 with three games over the final four days, starting with the Spurs on Thursday. |

He had an excellent night against the Cavaliers, shooting 70 percent from the field and just over 70 percent from the foul line. Duren's production outside of points and rebounds on Tuesday was limited, but fantasy managers won't be too concerned, given his production throughout the season. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris records career-high six steals
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 5:08 PM
Tobias Harris accounted for 11 points (5-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, six steals and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: While he wasn't all that impactful as a scorer, Harris proved to be an asset in other ways in Friday's overtime victory. While solid in the rebound and assist categories, the veteran forward racked up a career-high six steals. And it was Harris' defense on Evan Mobley in the final seconds of overtime that preserved Detroit's three-point victory. Due to the emergence of other players on the roster, Harris' fantasy value has taken a hit, but he remains a key figure for the Pistons. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson produces 18 points, full line
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 5:07 PM
Ausar Thompson recorded 18 points (7-of-10 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Thompson has responded well since being benched for the second half of Monday's loss to the Spurs. After scoring 11 points and recording seven assists, three steals and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Thunder, he put up another solid stat line against the Cavaliers. Thompson shot 70 percent from the field, reaching double figures in attempts for the second time in February. Ausar isn't a prolific scorer, but the Pistons can't afford for him to be as passive as he was in the first half of Monday's loss to the Spurs. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff sent his young wing a message, and he's responded the right way. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren records 33/16/3/1/3 line vs. Cleveland
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 5:07 PM
Jalen Duren accounted for 33 points (11-of-19 FGs, 11-of-15 FTs), 16 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Having earned his first All-Star Game selection this season, Duren has been outstanding for the team with the NBA's best record. He extended his double-double streak to four games in Friday's overtime victory, with the 33 points matching Duren's season-high. The Pistons end Week 18 with a road game against the Magic on Sunday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham records 25/10/7/2 line vs. Cavs
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 4:50 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Friday's win over the Cavaliers with 25 points (11-of-21 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
Analysis: Unfortunately for Cunningham and the Pistons, the MVP candidate was not around for the conclusion of Friday's game. With the Pistons trailing by four with 1:56 remaining, he was whistled for his sixth foul, his third disqualification of the season. However, Cade's exit did not spell doom for the Pistons. Daniss Jenkins hit three free throws with 4.7 seconds remaining to force overtime, and Detroit would win it in the extra session. Cunningham finished three assists shy of a triple-double, another stellar stat line for the Pistons' point guard. Detroit will look to end Week 18 on a high note when they visit the Magic on Sunday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham posts 29 points, 13 assists
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:34 PM
Cade Cunningham accounted for 29 points (11-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, 13 assists, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Thunder.
Analysis: While Cunningham was responsible for eight turnovers, the overall stat line should help compensate for that. Over the past month, the Pistons' point guard has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Cunningham has been included in early Most Valuable Player conversations, and with good reason. He's been a highly productive lead option on the team with the league's best record, and some of the other expected contenders may not be eligible due to the 65-game requirement when it's time to vote. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren drops 29 points, 15 rebounds vs. OKC
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:33 PM
Jalen Duren recorded 29 points (12-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.
Analysis: The Pistons' two All-Stars did what players of their caliber are expected to do, with Duren and Cade Cunningham combining to score 58 points. Both recorded double-doubles, with the former notching his 27th of the season. Since returning from his two-game suspension, Duren has averaged 26.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 68 percent from the field. The Pistons end Week 18 with games on Friday and Sunday against the Cavaliers and Magic. |

Ausar Thompson Thompson only plays 18 minutes in Monday's loss
Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 4:20 PM
Ausar Thompson had eight points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and two assists in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Thompson wasn't having the greatest game, but he was curiously benched in the second half of Monday's loss to the Spurs. The 23-year-old small forward finished with eight points in just 18 minutes. After the game, Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he simply preferred to play Ron Holland. It's difficult to argue with the results as Holland had 15 points, 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench. This will certainly be a situation for Thompson's fantasy managers to monitor, starting with the Pistons' next game Wednesday against the Thunder. |
