Bobi Klintman Bobi Klintman (ankle) remains out vs. Atlanta
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bobi Klintman (ankle) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Monday.
Analysis: Klintman will miss a seventh straight game, but he isn't part of Detroit's rotation when he's healthy. His continued absence won't open the door for anyone to take on extra minutes. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (knee) probable vs. Atlanta
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (knee) is probable to play the Hawks on Monday.
Analysis: LeVert missed Saturday's game, but he is expected to be back to take on Atlanta. He will likely fill his typical role off the bench, though he could get the starting nod with Duncan Robinson (ankle) listed as questionable. However, he isn't guaranteed to fill the void, and he'd only be worth streaming if he does. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (ankle) questionable vs. Atlanta
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Monday.
Analysis: Robinson has been a fixture of the starting lineup this season, but there is a chance he is sidelined to start off the week. Caris LeVert (knee) is probable and could start if Robinson is out, though Jaden Ivey and Daniss Jenkins are also candidates to fill the void. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren (leg) probable vs. Atlanta on Monday
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Duren (leg) is probable to play against the Hawks on Monday.
Analysis: Duren missed Saturday's game against Miami but is expected to be back in the lineup to take on Atlanta. His return will push Isaiah Stewart back to the bench, though he will still play a significant reserve role. Paul Reed will likely be pushed out of the rotation. |

Paul Reed Paul Reed records 13/10/2/1 line in 19 minutes
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:52 PM
Paul Reed accumulated 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: With Jalen Duren (leg) unavailable, Isaiah Stewart served as the starting center in Miami. However, while Beef Stew (9/8/1/0/1 in 29 minutes) was solid in his time on the floor, Duren's absence opened things up for Reed as well. âBBall Paulâ recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first occurring in a November 12 win over the Bulls. Unlike Stewart, who can provide tangible fantasy value when Duren is playing, Reed needs an absence to become viable. He should only be added if Duren misses more time. Detroit opens a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Hawks. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris drops season-high 26 points vs. MIA
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:52 PM
Tobias Harris accounted for 26 points (10-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: A double-digit scorer in all five games he's played since returning from a sprained ankle, Harris had his best night of the season in Miami. He recorded his second 20-point game, exceeding his previous high of 23 (October 29 vs. Orlando). Harris remains outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, but that's due mainly to the sprained ankle and time that he missed. He isn't a prolific fantasy option, but Tobias will provide reliable value when available. The Pistons play four games during Week 7. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson scores 18 in return to Miami
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:51 PM
Duncan Robinson tallied 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: For the first time since being traded to Detroit during the offseason, Robinson played against the Heat in Miami on Saturday. And he played well, scoring 18 points, the most he's had in a game in over two weeks. Robinson has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats this season, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (141). With Jaden Ivey (9/2/1 with one three-pointer) still under a minutes restriction, playing time won't be an issue for Robinson for the time being, preserving his fantasy value. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham drops 29 points, eight assists
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:50 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Saturday's win over the Heat with 29 points (14-of-25 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: While Cunningham had another high-turnover night, committing eight, he continued to make big plays down the stretch. The Pistons' point guard leads the NBA in fourth-quarter points, and while he only made two shots in the fourth on Saturday, Cade's jumper with 20.2 seconds remaining gave Detroit a four-point lead. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long value. The Pistons play four games in Week 7, starting with the Hawks on Monday. |

Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart starting in place of Jalen Duren
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 1:44 PM
Detroit Pistons
Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart will start against the Heat on Saturday.
Analysis: Stewart will slide into the starting unit with Jalen Duren (leg) unavailable. The rest of the starters will remain the same, but Stewart will receive a significant boost in minutes and value as a starter. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (knee) downgraded to out Saturday
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 1:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Initially questionable, LeVert will sit out the second game of Detroit's home/away back-to-back. This may be an opportunity for Daniss Jenkins to pick up additional minutes, as he's fallen out of the rotation since the Pistons have gotten healthier on the perimeter. However, he isn't worth the streaming risk in this spot. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (knee) questionable Saturday vs. Heat
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 8:03 AM
Caris LeVert (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: LeVert had seven points in 24 minutes against the Magic on Friday. The 31-year-old shooting guard's status remains up in the air for the second game of a back-to-back against the Heat. Regardless of his availability, LeVert isn't playing enough minutes on a regular basis to warrant a spot on fantasy basketball rosters. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren (leg) out Saturday vs. Heat
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:42 AM
Ira Winderman
Jalen Duren (leg) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Duren had a double-double with four blocks in Friday's loss to the Magic. The 22-year-old center will miss Saturday's second game of a back-to-back against the Heat with a leg injury. Isaiah Stewart figures to start while Paul Reed picks up additional minutes off the bench. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren posts 16/12/2/1/4 line vs. Orlando
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 4:47 PM
Jalen Duren accounted for 16 points (5-of-8 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in Friday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Duren now has 11 double-doubles this season, including one in each of his last three appearances. The Pistons center finished Friday's close defeat with a complete line, minus the three-pointers, and his four blocks were a season-high. In fact, this was the first time Duren had recorded at least three blocks in a game this season. Up to 18 blocks in 17 games, Duren has the potential to be an even better fantasy option than he's been. Hopefully, the athleticism will translate into defensive production more than it has so far. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris scores 18 points vs. Orlando
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 4:46 PM
Tobias Harris tallied 18 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Harris' 18 points are the most he's scored in a game since returning from a sprained ankle, matching his tally in Detroit's November 22 win over the Bucks. He had another efficient night on Friday, shooting over 50 percent from the field, while doing a good job on the glass. At this stage in his career, Harris isn't going to âwowâ fantasy managers, but he will provide consistent value. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham records triple-double vs. Magic
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 4:44 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Friday's loss to the Magic with 39 points (13-of-26 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 13 rebounds, 11 assists and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Cunningham finished Friday's 112-109 defeat with his second triple-double of the season. However, unlike the line he recorded in Detroit's November 10 win over the Wizards, turnovers were an issue on Friday. Cunningham finished with a season-high eight, and there weren't any defensive stats on the line, either. While he has been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, that's with an average of 4.4 turnovers per game. In eight-cat, Cunningham has been a top-10 player during that stretch. While he is susceptible to the high-turnover night, the overall production compensates for that. |

Jaden Ivey Jaden Ivey (conditioning) available vs. Orlando
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaden Ivey (conditioning) is available to play against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Ivey was originally listed as questionable, but he'll be available to suit up for a fourth straight game after missing the start of the year. He has yet to exceed 15 minutes, and he likely won't make a fantasy impact until he is given a larger role. |
|
Bobi Klintman Bobi Klintman (ankle) out Friday vs. Orlando
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 12:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bobi Klintman (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Klintman remains out with a sprained left ankle. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the Pistons are as healthy in the frontcourt as they've been this season. |
|
Jaden Ivey Jaden Ivey (conditioning) questionable Friday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 12:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jaden Ivey (conditioning) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Ivey is still working his way back from a fractured fibula, most recently playing 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics. The Pistons also play on Saturday against the Heat, so fantasy managers should assume that he'll miss one of the next two games. Daniss Jenkins may play more minutes after logging just eight on Wednesday. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson hits three triples, scores 11
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 1:57 PM
Duncan Robinson accounted for 11 points (4-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: After shooting 1-of-8 from deep in Monday's win over the Pacers, Robinson was slightly better in Wednesday's loss to Boston. After an uneven start to the season, he's meshed well in Detroit, hitting double figures in points in seven of his last eight appearances. The lingering question for Robinson is whether he'll remain in the starting lineup once Jaden Ivey (7/4/0/1) is no longer under a minutes restriction. Ivey played 15 minutes off the bench, the second time he's reached that number in three appearances. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren corrals 16 rebounds vs. Boston
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 1:57 PM
Jalen Duren tallied 12 points (4-of-10 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 16 rebounds and one assist in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Duren did not have a great night shooting the basketball, and he failed to record any defensive stats. However, he did grab a game-high 16 rebounds, the fifth time this season he's grabbed at least 15. Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 56, Duren has exceeded expectations, as he's been a top-40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given his skill set, expecting Duren to maintain that production level is not unrealistic. |
