Jaden Ivey Jaden Ivey records 10/3/3/2 stat line vs. Boston
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 3:58 PM
Jaden Ivey accounted for 10 points (4-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: While he hasn't missed a game since making his season debut on November 22, Ivey notched an important achievement on Monday. For the first time this season, the Pistons guard played at least 20 minutes in a game, logging 21. Ivey's stat line was only missing a blocked shot, and the overall production was solid, aside from the field-goal percentage. A return to the starting lineup may not be in the cards for Ivey anytime soon, but he's capable of providing solid value once he gets to 25 minutes per game. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris chips in with 13 points vs. Boston
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 3:57 PM
Tobias Harris amassed 13 points (4-of-11 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds and three assists in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Harris didn't finish Monday's victory with the most prolific stat line, but he was the only other Pistons starter to join Cade Cunningham in double figures. Over the past two weeks, the veteran forward's fantasy value has slipped, a byproduct of limited defensive production and Harris shooting 40.9 percent from the field. While he has shown himself capable of providing excellent fantasy value in the past, Detroit's depth limits Harris' ceiling, and his floor may also take a hit. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham scores team-high 32 points vs. BOS
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 3:57 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Monday's win over the Celtics with 32 points (11-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and six three-pointers.
Analysis: At times, the fourth quarter of Monday's game felt like a duel between Cunningham and Boston's Derrick White, with both knocking down critical shots in crunch time. Alas, âThe MotorCadeâ came out on top, helping push the Pistons to a conference-best 21-5 record. Cunningham's double-double was his 13th of the season, and he's scored at least 30 points in eight of the 23 games he's played. In seasons past, Cade has been far more valuable in eight-cat formats and turnover-punt builds. But he's closed the gap, which is why he's been so much more beneficial to fantasy managers this season, regardless of league format. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson hits four three-pointers vs. ATL
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 5:10 PM
Duncan Robinson totaled 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in the win over the Hawks on Friday.
Analysis: Robinson bounced back from a less-productive seven-point outing against the Bucks by draining four three-pointers and finishing as one of Detroit's top scorers in the blowout victory. He was one of eight Pistons to score in double figures, and accounted for one quarter of Detroit's three-point production as a team. Robinson has started in all games he's appeared in during his first season with the Pistons. He continues to help the team offensively. |

Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart scores 17 points off bench vs. ATL
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 5:07 PM
Isaiah Stewart totaled 17 points (7-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer on Friday in the win over the Hawks.
Analysis: Tobias Harris' return from injury sent Stewart back to Detroit's second unit, but that didn't stop the sixth-year center from putting up good fantasy numbers. Off the bench, he logged 21 minutes and shot efficiently en route to finishing as the Pistons' scoring leader. He also tallied a season-high in assists along the way and put together a second consecutive strong fantasy performance. Stewart will remain in a reserve role as long as Detroit's roster is healthy. He likely isn't worth rostering in fantasy leagues unless injuries lead him to start and consistently log heavy minutes. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham adds 15 points in win over Atlanta
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 5:06 PM
Cade Cunningham amassed 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), one rebound, six assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in the win over the Hawks on Friday.
Analysis: Cunningham's fantasy production was limited due to a one-sided contest on Friday between the Pistons and Hawks. Detroit led in this one by as many as 35 points, thus holding the former No. 1 overall pick to 23 minutes of game action. Friday marked the third time in the last five games that Cunningham finished with fewer than 20 points, which had happened only once previously this season. The Pistons will face the Celtics on Monday, which is the next time Cunningham will have a chance to put forth fantasy numbers that more closely align with the dominant ones he's tallied so far this season. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (ankle) healthy, starting vs. Hawks
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 12:54 PM
Detroit Pistons
Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson and Ausar Thompson will start Friday against the Hawks.
Analysis: Harris will make his return to the starting lineup after being out for a week with an ankle injury. His return gives the Pistons their opening-night starting unit, which will move Isaiah Stewart back to a reserve role to bolster Detroit's bench. The Pistons have won four of their past five games and currently sit atop the Eastern Conference standings with a 19-5 record. |

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. |
