Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart sinks three triples in spot start
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 4:07 PM
Isaiah Stewart tallied 19 points (6-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: With Tobias Harris (ankle) unavailable, Stewart made his seventh start of the season on Saturday. After shooting 4-of-10 from three in his previous nine appearances, Beef Stew shot 3-of-5 against the Bucks. If there was a disappointing aspect of his performances, it was the lack of rebounds. Over the last two games, Stewart totaled three rebounds, a poor return for a player averaging 6.0 per game on the season. Recent rebounding production aside, he remains a player who should be rostered in deep leagues. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren corrals 16 rebounds vs. Milwaukee
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 4:06 PM
Jalen Duren finished Saturday's win over the Bucks with 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 16 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot.
Analysis: After a streak of four straight double-doubles, Duren entered Saturday having totaled 14 rebounds in his last two outings. Rebounding wasn't a problem against the Bucks, especially with Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo unavailable due to injury. Duren has recorded at least 16 rebounds in five games this season, with Saturday's effort being the first since November 26. The Pistons play once during Week 8 but will have four games in fantasy leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 due to the NBA Cup knockout rounds. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham records 23 points, 12 assists
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 4:05 PM
Cade Cunningham amassed 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: After playing 36 minutes in Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, Cunningham logged 32 on Saturday, spending most of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Pistons point guard is up to 12 double-doubles on the season and fifth in his last 10 games. The negative for Cunningham managers is the upcoming schedule, as Detroit plays only once in Week 8. However, this won't be a significant issue for those competing in leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup knockout rounds. |

Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) available to make season debut
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 12:46 PM
NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Sasser is officially available to make his season debut on Saturday, improving Detroit's depth on the perimeter. However, he's unlikely to get the run needed to impact fantasy basketball. Daniss Jenkins may fall out of the rotation entirely with Sasser available. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (ankle) out Saturday vs. Milwaukee
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 12:45 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tobias Harris (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Harris will not play on Saturday after logging 31 minutes in Friday's win over the Trail Blazers. Isaiah Stewart is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, and Beef Stew would be worth a look in deep leagues. |
|
Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) probable Saturday vs. Bucks
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 7:50 AM
Marcus Sasser (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Sasser is closing in on his season debut, which is likely to come Saturday against the Bucks given his probable listing. The 25-year-old point guard will improve the Pistons' depth, but isn't relevant for fantasy managers. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (ankle) questionable Saturday
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 7:37 AM
Tobias Harris (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Harris had 10 points in 31 minutes in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday. Isaiah Stewart could move into the starting lineup if Harris sits out the second game of a back-to-back against the Bucks on Saturday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham has 29/4/9 line in win Friday
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 6:10 PM
Cade Cunningham had 29 points (7-of-15 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, one block, three steals and two three-pointers in the Pistons' 122-116 victory over the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Analysis: Cunningham was the do-it-all superstar we've seen so far for the Pistons this season again Friday. The 24-year-old point guard filled up the stat sheet, leading the way with 29 points and nine assists. Cunningham is also getting it done on the defensive end, where he has 10 steals in three games so far this week. The Pistons close out the week with a matchup against the Bucks on Saturday. |

Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) ruled out vs. Portland
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 1:31 PM
Aaron Johnson
Marcus Sasser (hip) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Analysis: Sasser was close to making his season debut, but he will have to wait at least one more game. It will be great to see him back, but his role will likely be too small for him to be rostered in standard leagues. |
|
Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (ankle) available vs. Portland
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 1:29 PM
Aaron Johnson
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is available to play against the Trail Blazers on Friday and will start alongside Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren.
Analysis: Robinson will be back after a two-game absence, which will push Daniss Jenkins back to the bench. Jenkins had been effective as a starter in the past, but this was a rough two-game stretch for him. He'll lose the streaming upside he held as a reserve. |

Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) questionable Friday vs. POR
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 12:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Sasser, who has been out with a right hip impingement, could be available to make his season debut on Friday. However, that does not guarantee that he'll play rotation minutes, especially with the Pistons mainly being healthy. Unless you're in a dynasty league, there's no need to roster Sasser right now. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (ankle) questionable Friday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 12:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Robinson has missed Detroit's last two games, resulting in Daniss Jenkins moving into the starting lineup. However, the second-year guard has effectively split minutes with Caris LeVert, and the production has not been good enough for him to be worth the risk in most redraft leagues. |
|
Bobi Klintman Bobi Klintman (ankle) out Friday vs. Portland
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 12:00 PM
Bobi Klintman (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Klintman will miss another game, and he has been out since November 14. Unless competing in a deep dynasty league, there's no reason to consider stashing him in an IL+ slot. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham has 17/7/7 line in loss to Bucks
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:56 PM
Cade Cunningham had 17 points (5-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Cunningham was held below 20 points for the second consecutive game to start December after going the entire month of November without that happening. The 24-year-old point guard had an off-night from behind the three-point line going 1-of-7 from behind the arc. Cunningham had just two turnovers and was +7 in 35 minutes in the four-point loss. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris has 20 points in loss to Bucks
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:51 PM
Tobias Harris had 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds and five three-pointers against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Harris has now had at least 20 points in two of his last three games. That's a good sign for the 33-year-old small forward who returned from an ankle injury last month. Harris is a reliable fantasy option when healthy. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (ankle) out Wednesday vs. MIL
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 12:56 PM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Robinson will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, which should mean Daniss Jenkins remains in the starting lineup. While his ceiling as a scorer is limited playing alongside Cade Cunningham, Jenkins can be helpful to managers needing rebounds and assists when allowed to start. |
|
Bobi Klintman Bobi Klintman (ankle) to remain out Wednesday
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 11:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bobi Klintman (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Klintman has not appeared in a game since November 14. His continued absence does not impact the Pistons' rotation or fantasy basketball. |
|
Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (ankle) questionable vs. Bucks
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 10:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Robinson missed a game for the first time this season on Monday, which opened the door for Daniss Jenkins to start in his place. Jenkins had a rough shooting night, but he was able to supply eight rebounds and six assists and has generally been a reliable streamer when he starts this year. If Robinson remains out, Jenkins will be worth streaming. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren records double-double vs. Atlanta
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:54 PM
Jalen Duren returned to the lineup on Monday and contributed 21 points (9-of-12 FGs) and 11 rebounds against the Hawks.
Analysis: After a one-game absence due to a left leg contusion, Duren was back in the lineup and made his presence felt immediately. He was Detroit's leading rebounder and helped the Pistons dominate the glass; they won the rebounding matchup 60-34. Duren has a double-double in four straight games and will look to keep that going against the Bucks on Wednesday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham pours in 18/8/8/5/3 line vs. Hawks
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:48 PM
Cade Cunningham posted a full line on Monday with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, five steals, three blocks and six turnovers in a 99-98 win over the Hawks.
Analysis: Cunningham wasn't able to have his typical dominant scoring night, but he got the job done late with a pair of clutch buckets with less than a minute left to turn a tied game in to a four-point lead for Detroit. His scoring output was underwhelming for fantasy managers, but the rest of his night wasn't. He set a new career high for steals and had more âstocksâ than he's ever had in a single game. It was an impressive performance for him, and he'll look to stay hot in Milwaukee on Wednesday. |
