Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (hip) probable Sunday vs. Kings
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 9:36 AM
Cade Cunningham (left hip injury management) is probable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Cunningham is likely to suit up Sunday against the Kings given his probable listing, though he's on the injury report for left hip injury management reasons. It's difficult to ignore the 24-year-old point guard's struggles recently as he's been held under 20 points in each of the last four games. Cunningham, who's averaging 25.3 points per game this season, will likely have the chance to bounce back against the Kings on Sunday. |

Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart contributes 16 points off bench
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 4:33 PM
Isaiah Stewart provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (7-of-9 FGs), four rebounds and two assists against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: Stewart had a quiet stretch entering this game, but he was able to get things going on offense in the loss. Typically, Stewart's impact is on the glass and as a shot blocker, but he wasn't able to do much of either in this game. Still, a productive scoring night is encouraging since he should typically collect more boards and blocks than he did in this game. However, he hasn't been able to make a consistent impact for fantasy managers as a reserve. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (illness) available vs. Rockets

Hunter Patterson
Cade Cunningham (illness) is available to play on Friday against the Rockets.
Analysis: Cunningham will take the floor on Friday following a one-game absence. Despite averaging 14.0 points and 3.3 rebounds per game over the last three outings, the Pistons have won four straight and continue to sit atop the Eastern Conference standings. However, fantasy managers hope on Friday that Cunningham can put up numbers that are more like his season averages on 25.7/5.9/9.8. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 7:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (back) is available for Friday's matchup with the Rockets, and Caris LeVert (illness) is out.
Analysis: No surprises for either player, as Robinson was listed as probable, and LeVert was listed as doubtful. Robinson has knocked down at least four treys in six straight games, and he'll look to carry positive momentum into Friday's tilt with Houston. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (illness) upgraded to probable
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 7:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cade Cunningham (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's matchup with the Rockets.
Analysis: Cunningham will be back following a one-game absence, which means Daniss Jenkins should shift back to the bench. Fewer minutes will be available for Marcus Sasser and Jaden Ivey. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (illness) doubtful vs. Houston
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 11:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (illness) is doubtful to play against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: LeVert is expected to miss a second straight game with this illness. That should open the door for Ron Holland II and Jaden Ivey to take on a few extra minutes off the bench, but it won't dramatically alter fantasy hoops. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (illness) questionable Friday
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 11:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cade Cunningham (illness, hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Cunningham did not play in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans, resulting in Daniss Jenkins moving into the starting lineup. And he was backed up by Marcus Sasser, with Jaden Ivey getting his minutes at shooting guard. Expect a similar rotation if Cunningham doesn't play against Houston. |

Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 11:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (back) is probable to play against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Robinson is managing a back sprain, but he is expected to suit up against Houston. He'll look to stay red-hot in this game, having hit at least four triples in six consecutive games. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson posts 12/9/3/3 line vs. New Orleans
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:18 PM
Ausar Thompson recorded 12 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Given the expectations of many fantasy managers, Thompson's season has been underwhelming in that regard. But he had a solid night in New Orleans, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. And even with the limited scoring output, Thompson has been close to a top-75 payer over the past two weeks. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren records 20/15/3/1/2 line vs. Pelicans
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:18 PM
Jalen Duren finished Wednesday's win over the Pelicans with 20 points (7-of-11 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 15 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocked shots.
Analysis: With Cade Cunningham unavailable due to illness and a hip injury, the Pistons needed others to step up. Duren was at the top of the list, and the center was dominant in New Orleans. For the fourth time this season, Duren finished a game with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds. Add in the defensive stats and assists, and Wednesday was an excellent night for those who have Duren rostered. |

Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (illness) downgraded to out Wednesday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 12:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: LeVert will not be available for Wednesday's game, leaving the Pistons down two rotation guards since Cade Cunningham is also out. LeVert's absence will not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but it should lead to more minutes for Ron Holland II. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (illness) downgraded to out
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 12:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cade Cunningham (illness, hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Added to the Pistons' injury report on Wednesday afternoon, Cunningham will not play due to a left hip contusion. Jaden Ivey filled in the last time Cunningham missed a game, but he did not play starters' minutes. With Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser also in the mix for rotation minutes, Ivey isn't worth the risk in this spot. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (illness) questionable Wednesday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 7:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cade Cunningham (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans.
Analysis: Cunningham is a late addition to the injury report, so fantasy managers should have a contingency plan prepared. If Detroit's star point guard is forced to sit this one out, Daniss Jenkins and Jaden Ivey will be in line for additional minutes. |
|
Caris LeVert Caris LeVert (illness) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 4:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caris LeVert (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: LeVert is a late addition to the Pistons' injury report. If he were to miss Wednesday's game, it would not significantly affect fantasy basketball due to the Pistons' depth on the wings. Ron Holland II and Jaden Ivey could see their minutes increase if LeVert sits. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris scores team-high 25 points in win
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 5:00 PM
Tobias Harris led the Pistons with 25 points (11-of-20 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three triples against the Celtics on Monday.
Analysis: Harris exited early from Saturday's game, though the reason wasn't specified. However, if there was something bothering him then, it didn't seem to carry over into this game. His 25 points were the most he's had in a game since November. He hasn't been a great fantasy option this season, but since returning from a five-game absence with a hip injury, he has been effective. He'll look to remain hot in New Orleans on Wednesday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham dishes out 14 assists in win
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 4:58 PM
Cade Cunningham recorded a double-double on Monday with 16 points (4-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and two blocks in a 104-103 win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Cunningham was named an All-Star starter earlier in the day, and while he didn't have an effective night as a shooter, he was able to record a double-double. His work as a playmaker made up for the lack of scoring, and it was enough for Detroit to get the win. It has been a rough three-game stretch for him as a scorer, and he'll look to get back on track in New Orleans on Wednesday. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson hits four triples, scores 16 pts
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 4:03 PM
Duncan Robinson shot 6-of-9 from the field in Saturday's win over the Pacers, tallying 16 points, two rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Robinson is usually relied on for points and three-pointers, and he's upped his production in those categories recently. He's now made at least four three-pointers in four consecutive games, his most productive stretch of the season to date. Even with Detroit's depth, there's a clear need for Robinson due to his shooting ability. That will preserve his value in category leagues. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren corrals eight rebounds vs. Indiana
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 4:02 PM
Jalen Duren accounted for 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in Saturday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: The Pistons were never challenged on Saturday, so Duren and the other starters played fewer minutes than they usually would. The good news for fantasy managers was that he was productive while on the floor, falling two rebounds shy of a double-double. The Pistons play four games in Week 14, starting with the Celtics on Monday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham scores 16 in blowout victory
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 4:01 PM
Cade Cunningham tallied 16 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Detroit led by 34 points at the half, and the margin would grow to a point where none of the starters played during the fourth quarter. That's unfortunate for Cunningham's managers, as they may have been counting on a big night from him, given how depleted the Pacers were. The good news is that the Pistons play four games in Week 14, and Monday's matchup with the Celtics should be far more competitive. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (unspecified) limited to 18 minutes
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 4:00 PM
Hunter Patterson
Tobias Harris (unspecified) finished Saturday's win over the Pacers with seven points (3-of-5 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Harris returned to the locker room during the third quarter for an unspecified reason and did not play again. The Pistons did not announce any injury, and Saturday's blowout made it unlikely that Harris would have played in the fourth quarter if there wasn't an issue. The Pistons open a four-game Week 14 on Monday against the Celtics, and Isaiah Stewart (7/7/5/1/1 with one three-pointer) would likely be the next man up if Harris can't play. |
