Jalen Duren Duren dominates Wizards with 36 points, 12 boards
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 4:04 PM
Jalen Duren dominated the Wizards with 36 points (13-of-17 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in a 130-117 win on Tuesday.
Analysis: This was a fourth straight double-double for Duren, and it was the second 30-point double-double during this stretch. However, this was one of his most dominant performances of the season, as he set a new career high for points in the big win. He stepped up on offense following Cade Cunningham's early exit with a back injury. They have a rematch in Washington on Thursday, and Duren could be in for another big night. |

Hunter Patterson
Cade Cunningham (back) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Cunningham had six points in five minutes before heading to the locker room early in Tuesday's game against the Wizards. The 24-year-old point guard ended up being ruled out for the rest of the game with back spasms, according to the Pistons. With Cunningham out, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser figure to handle the point guard duties for Detroit. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham has 33 points, nine dimes in loss
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 12:21 PM
Cade Cunningham had 33 points (12-of-24 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, nine assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Cunningham had failed to reach 20 points in two games in a row, but bounced back with this effort in a loss to the Raptors on Sunday. The 24-year-old point guard had nine assists after recording 28 combined in the last two games. Cunningham has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks despite the point-scoring blip. The Pistons have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday. |

Ausar Thompson DET starts Cade, Ausar, Robinson, Harris, Duren
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 9:06 AM
NBA Lineups
Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Duncan Robinson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Thompson is back after a five-game absence, and he's in the starting lineup immediately. As a result, Marcus Sasser heads to the bench, where he offers minimal fantasy value at best. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) upgraded to available
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 4:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Thompson is back after a five-game absence, but an immediate return to the starting lineup is not guaranteed. Back in mid-November, the Pistons' wing was brought off the bench for a game after missing the previous four with a sprained right ankle. Marcus Sasser has been Thompson's replacement in the starting lineup and may retain that role for another game. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) probable vs. Toronto
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 2:16 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Thompson is on the verge of returning after a five-game absence. Marcus Sasser has been his replacement in the starting lineup, and the second-year guard is likely headed to the bench if Thompson can play. |

Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart (calf) ruled out vs. Toronto
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 2:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Stewart (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Stewart, who played 20 minutes in Friday's win over the Grizzlies, is out with a strained left calf. His absence moves Paul Reed up in the rotation, and he may hold onto the backup center role for a few games. In that role, Reed is worth a look in deep leagues. |
|
Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (hip) removed from injury report
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 11:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tobias Harris (hip) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Harris is back after sitting out Friday's win over the Grizzlies. His return means that Javonte Green will come off the bench, which limits his fantasy value. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham racks up 15 assists vs. Memphis
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 3:53 PM
Cade Cunningham accumulated 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, 15 assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: After recording 13 assists in Thursday's win over the Nets, Cunningham was even better against the Grizzlies. The Pistons' star point guard racked up 15 helpers on Friday, the second time in three games that he's hit that number. Cunningham also brought more to the table as a scorer, getting into double figures after scoring eight points on Thursday. He'll likely run into greater resistance when the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren records 30 points, 13 rebounds vs. MEM
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 3:52 PM
Jalen Duren amassed 30 points (12-of-15 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), 13 rebounds, one steal and two blocks in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Duren was dominant on Friday, an unsurprising development, given the Grizzlies' lack of interior depth and size. The Pistons center made 80 percent of his shot attempts, and the double-double was his 33rd of the season and second in as many nights. For fantasy managers, they'll get another game out of Duren as the Pistons visit the Raptors on Sunday. |

Javonte Green DET starts Cade, Sasser, Robinson, Green, Duren
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 1:10 PM
NBA Lineups
Cade Cunningham, Marcus Sasser, Duncan Robinson, Javonte Green and Jalen Duren will start Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Already without Ausar Thompson, the Pistons won't have Tobias Harris for Friday's game. Green moves into the starting lineup and is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues. Due to Thompson's continued absence, Sasser remains in the starting lineup. |
|
Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (hip) downgraded to out vs. Memphis
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tobias Harris (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Harris is dealing with a hip injury, and his absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Ron Holland is a potential replacement and would be worth streaming in deep leagues given the opportunity and matchup. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (wrist) upgraded to available
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 11:55 AM
Omari Sankofa
Caris LeVert (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: LeVert is back after a three-game absence, and he'll take on his usual reserve role. With Ausar Thompson still out, there may be a few more minutes available than usual, but the Pistons expect to get their starting wing back soon. For Friday's game, Kevin Huerter may lose out on a few minutes with LeVert available. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) doubtful Friday vs. Memphis
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 9:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Thompson will likely sit out another game which should clear the way for Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland II to see additional playing time. Thompson's next chance to take the court will come on Sunday against the Raptors. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (wrist) probable Friday vs. Grizzlies
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 8:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (wrist) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies.
Analysis: LeVert is on track to return from a three-game absence, and he should handle his normal workload. Kevin Huerter could see his playing time decrease as a result. |

Javonte Green Javonte Green posts 17 points, four three-pointers
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 3:37 PM
Javonte Green recorded 17 points (5-of-8 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, three steals and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Seven Pistons finished Thursday's 131-107 victory in double figures, with the reserves getting a little more playing time due to the game getting out of hand. However, Green didn't need âgarbage timeâ to have one of his most productive games of the season. The 17 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 5 blowout of the Knicks, and he scored eight in the third quarter. Friday's game against the Grizzlies may be another opportunity for Green to put up solid numbers against a shorthanded opponent. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham dishes out 13 assists vs. PHI
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 3:36 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Thursday's win over the 76ers with eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
Analysis: The Pistons were able to pull away from the 76ers in the third quarter, despite Cunningham having a limited impact as a scorer. The All-Star guard attempted just six shots in the night, a season-low, with this being the second time he's failed to put up at least ten. The good news is that Cunningham recorded 13 assists, the fifth time in the last six games that he's dished out ten or more. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren posts double-double in 15 minutes
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 3:36 PM
Jalen Duren tallied 14 points (6-of-7 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in Thursday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Duren found himself in early foul trouble on Thursday, and that, combined with the blowout, conspired to limit the Pistons' center to 15 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers was that Duren recorded his first double-double in three games and 32nd of the season. With the Pistons hosting the Grizzlies on Friday, that's another game where Duren's playing time could be limited due to the competition. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson sinks five triples, scores 19
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 3:35 PM
Duncan Robinson amassed 19 points (7-of-10 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Thursday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Given how banged-up the 76ers were entering Thursday's game, this was an opportunity for some of the Pistons' unheralded options to put up better numbers than usual. Robinson's 19 points were the most he's scored in a game in over a month, and he last made five triples in a February 21 win over the Bulls. Robinson's four assists were a nice bonus, but he remains a three-point specialist in fantasy leagues. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson (ankle) to remain out vs. PHI
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 11:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Injured during Thursday's loss to the Spurs, Thompson has not appeared in a game since. Marcus Sasser has moved into the starting lineup, but Thompson's absence has also resulted in more minutes for Ron Holland II. Holland offers a slightly higher short-term fantasy ceiling while the Pistons await Ausar's return. |
