Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (hip) questionable Monday vs. Charlotte
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Since taking a hard fall during an October 25 win over the Pistons, Joe has missed the last three games with a hip contusion. If he remains out, Kevin Huerter and Ronald Holland II may once again be asked to fill out the wing rotation. |
Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson with 11/8/6 in win over the Nets
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:10 PM
Ausar Thompson had 11 points (5-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, and two steals on Friday.
Analysis: Ausar has been awesome in category leagues if you need good out of position rebounds and assists. He's been a more focal point of the offense with the Pistons this season and his role is safe on this team. We don't need to worry about coach JB Bickerstaff taking away minutes from him anymore which should relieve fantasy managers. |
Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson with 17 and 3 steals in 26 minutes
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:07 PM
Duncan Robinson put up 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in win on Friday.
Analysis: Robinson has been on an absolute tear to start the season. He's been the biggest beneficiary of Tobias Harris leaving the team in terms of scoring and he's given fantasy owners a real boost in the 3-point category. If he's available in your league, he's worth grabbing in most redraft leagues, but understand that unless you need some 3's or points, he doesn't do much else. |
Xavier Cooks Ron Holland with 18 and 4 steals in 22 minutes
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:04 PM
Ron Holland in 22 minutes, got 18 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, four steals, a block, and two 3-pointers in 110-94 win over the Nets.
Analysis: Holland was a big reason that this game got so out of hand in the second half. He hit his shots and he was aggressive with his defense. He got you four steals which would've been a massive boost in deeper leagues. We'll see if he stays on this team long term, but tonight was one of the nights where you can see the fantasy profile if he ever gets a starting role. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (hip) questionable vs. Brooklyn
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 10:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (hip) is questionable to play against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Joe has missed Detroit's last two games but could return to take on Brooklyn. Kevin Huerter and Ronald Holland II will continue to fill out the backup wing minutes, though both played less than 20 minutes on Wednesday. |
Paul Reed Paul Reed has 16 points in win over Hornets
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:51 PM
Paul Reed had 16 points (5-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Reed made his third consecutive start with Jalen Duren (hamstring) out of the lineup. He followed up his 22-point performance against the Knicks with another solid effort against the Hornets. Reed had 16 points on seven attempts, made both of his three-point attempts and had four stocks. He should be started in all formats until Duren returns. |
Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham has 30/5/7 line in win Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:46 PM
Cade Cunningham had 30 points (10-of-22 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Cunningham had just 19 points in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, but bounced back with 30 points in the victory over the Hornets Wednesday. Expect Cunningham to continue doing it all for the Pistons and he should keep shouldering a heavy usage load while Jalen Duren (hamstring) is out. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) upgraded to available Weds.
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Lineups
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Thompson was initially probable for Wednesday's game, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. The Pistons will stick with the five that started Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, with Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, John Collins and Paul Reed rounding out the quintet. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (hip) remains out vs. Charlotte
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (hip) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Joe will miss a second straight game after landing hard on his hip on Sunday. Kevin Huerter and Ronald Holland II should continue to take on a couple extra minutes off the bench with Joe sidelined once again. |
|
Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) probable vs. Charlotte
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is probable to play against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Thompson played on Tuesday after missing Sunday's game, and he should be good to go for the second leg of this back-to-back. Daniss Jenkins, who started in place of Thompson on Sunday, should continue to play a reserve role. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson cools off, finishes with 12 points
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:50 PM
Duncan Robinson finished Tuesday's loss to the Knicks with 12 points (4-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Robinson entered Tuesday averaging 19.7 points and 5.0 three-pointers per game. The Knicks focused more on him defensively, and the Pistons' wing had a rough night. Robinson shot 0-of-8 from the field in the first half and missed all six of his three-point attempts. He got a couple to fall in the second half, but the final return wasn't what fantasy managers hoped for. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham posts 19 points, eight assists
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:43 PM
Cade Cunningham amassed 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Given Cunningham's scoring trend in Detroit's first four games, he's likely to score 20+ against the Hornets on Wednesday. The Knicks kept him in check for most of the night, with Cade totaling 10 points in the final three quarters of Tuesday's defeat. The good news for fantasy managers was that he put up quality rebound and assist numbers, finishing one board and two helpers shy of a triple-double. |

Paul Reed Paul Reed records 22/9/3/21 line vs. New York
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:43 PM
Paul Reed tallied 22 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Making a second consecutive start for the injured Jalen Duren (hamstring), Reed was hot to start Tuesday's game. Shooting 5-of-6 from the field, he was responsible for 13 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot in the first quarter. Unfortunately for Reed and the Pistons, he went quiet in the second and third quarters, totaling one less foul (four) than points (five) in those periods. As long as Duren's out, Reed is a must-roster player in fantasy leagues. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (hip) downgraded to out Tuesday
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 1:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (hip) is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Joe landed hard on his right hip during Sunday's win over the 76ers and did not return to action. His absence on Tuesday won't affect fantasy basketball, as Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) upgraded to available Tues.
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 1:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Thompson is back after sitting out Sunday's win over the 76ers. He'll take on the task of defending Jalen Brunson, while Daniss Jenkins returns to the bench. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (hip) questionable vs. New York
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 11:01 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (hip) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Joe exited early on Sunday, and there is a chance that hip injury keeps him sidelined against New York. Kevin Huerter played 25 minutes off the bench against Philadelphia following Joe's early exit and should see a minutes boost once again if Joe remains out. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) questionable vs. New York
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 10:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Thompson missed Sunday's game against the 76ers after injuring his ankle on Friday. Daniss Jenkins replaced him in the starting lineup, with Ron Holland II and Javonte Green taking on larger roles off the bench. The rotation would likely be similar if Ausar remains out, with Jenkins being the preferred streaming option. |
John Collins John Collins records 16 points, 11 rebounds
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 5:22 PM
John Collins notched 16 points (7-of-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, two blocks and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Jalen Duren's hamstring injury wouldn't affect Collins' place in the Pistons' starting lineup. However, the All-Star center's absence meant Collins would sometimes be the biggest Piston on the floor. Philadelphia didn't have Joel Embiid on Sunday, which made the paint a bit more manageable for Detroit. But that shouldn't take away from Collins' double-double and blocked shots. Collins is already rostered in 80 percent of Yahoo leagues, and the Duren injury raises his fantasy ceiling. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson sinks five triples, scores 21
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 5:17 PM
Duncan Robinson recorded 21 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Robinson has started this season hot, scoring 17 points or more in each of Detroit's first three games. Against the 76ers, he shot 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Given his start to the season, Robinson is worth picking up while he's rolling. He's rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo leagues, so it won't be too challenging to find Robinson on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham leads Pistons with 26 points
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 5:15 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Sunday's win over the 76ers with 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Cunningham and the Pistons remained undefeated after defeating the 76ers, doing so without two starters. With Jalen Duren out for at least two weeks and Ausar Thompson also unavailable on Sunday, Cunningham will have to do more of the heavy lifting for the Pistons in the short term. Beyond scoring, he provided excellent value for fantasy managers across the board. The Pistons play three games in Week 2, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday. |
