Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) ruled out vs. Atlanta
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 7:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Sasser was initially listed as doubtful, so his third straight absence doesn't come as a surprise. Daniss Jenkins will remain the starting point guard, with Caris LeVert and Ausar Thompson filling out the minutes when Jenkins isn't on the floor. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris (hip) now probable vs. Atlanta
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 7:00 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tobias Harris (hip) is probable to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Harris isn't expected to miss this game, but this is worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's game against the Pelicans. If Harris is forced to miss the second leg of this back-to-back, Javonte Green would likely slide in as a starter. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren (knee) now probable vs. Atlanta
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Duren (knee) is probable to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Duren wasn't on the initial injury report, and while he still isn't expected to miss this game, he is managing soreness in his right knee. This is the first leg of a back-to-back, so this could be setting up a potential absence against the Pelicans on Thursday. Isaiah Stewart (calf) has already been ruled out on Wednesday, so Paul Reed could start if both Duren and Stewart are out against New Orleans. |

Javonte Green Javonte Green (ankle) questionable vs. Atlanta
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 12:14 PM
NBA Injury Report
Javonte Green (ankle) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Green has been playing a role on the wing off the bench for Detroit as of late, so his potential absence will open up extra minutes. Ron Holland should take on a larger role if Green is unavailable. |

Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) doubtful vs. Atlanta
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 12:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) is doubtful to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Sasser is expected to remain sidelined for a third straight game with this hip injury. Daniss Jenkins will continue to fill out most of the point guard minutes with Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined, while Caris LeVert and Ausar Thompson will also help out with ball handling duties. |
|
Isaiah Stewart Isaiah Stewart (calf) remains out vs. Atlanta
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 12:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Stewart (calf) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Stewart will remain sidelined for a sixth straight game with this calf injury. Paul Reed has filled out the backup center minutes, which has led to a few strong performances. However, with Jalen Duren healthy and available, Reed won't be worth streaming. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren has 20 points, 11 rebounds in win
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:59 PM
Jalen Duren had 20 points (5-of-9 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), 11 rebounds and three assists in Monday's win over the Lakers.
Analysis: Duren was limited to 21 minutes in Friday's win over the Warriors due to foul trouble. The 22-year-old center bounced back with 20 points and 11 rebounds in 33 minutes in a close win over the Lakers on Monday. Paul Reed only played 15 minutes even without Isaiah Stewart, which makes him less exciting even in deeper formats. |

Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) to remain out vs. Lakers
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 10:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marcus Sasser (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Sasser's continued absence with a strained right hip has a limited impact on fantasy basketball, even with Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined. Daniss Jenkins will continue to handle the starting point guard responsibilities, with Ausar Thompson and Caris LeVert also available to do more playmaking. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (shoulder) absent from injury report
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 10:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Huerter is available after missing Friday's win over the Warriors with a right shoulder contusion. His return gives the Pistons added depth on the perimeter, but he's unlikely to get the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren records 23 points vs. Warriors
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 4:02 PM
Jalen Duren finished Friday's win over the Warriors with 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Analysis: Due to his sore right ankle, Duren was a game-time call for Friday's game. He was able to play, but foul trouble and the Pistons taking care of business conspired to limit the All-Star center to 21 minutes. Duren will now get a little time off, as the Pistons won't play again until Monday. Paul Reed (15/6/3/2/1) played 23 minutes off the bench, and he has some value in deep leagues as long as Detroit remains without Isaiah Stewart. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (shoulder) downgraded to out
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 1:15 PM
Detroit Pistons
Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Huerter will not play on Friday due to a right shoulder contusion. His absence likely frees up additional minutes for Javonte Green, but that isn't enough to make him a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren (ankle) upgraded to available vs. GSW
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 1:08 PM
NBA Lineups
Jalen Duren (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Duren, a game-time decision due to a sore right ankle, is good to go for the Pistons' second game in as many nights. He'll take on his usual role as the starting center, with Daniss Jenkins, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson and Tobias Harris completing the starting five. |

Marcus Sasser Marcus Sasser (hip) out Friday vs. Warriors
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:28 AM
Marcus Sasser (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Sasser has a significant opportunity with Pistons superstar Cade Cunningham (lung) out for potentially the rest of the regular season. The 25-year-old point guard won't be able to capitalize on that opportunity Friday as he's been ruled out with hip soreness for the game against the Warriors. Daniss Jenkins will start at point guard while Caris LeVert and Ausar Thompson could see increased playmaking opportunities. |

Kevin Huerter Kevin Huerter (shoulder) questionable Friday
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:27 AM
Jacob Richman
Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Huerter had 14 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Thursday's win over the Wizards. The 27-year-old small forward is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors with a right shoulder contusion. Javonte Green would likely see more minutes if Huerter is ruled out, but isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren (ankle) questionable Friday
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:22 AM
Jacob Richman
Jalen Duren (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Duren is dealing with right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old center is coming off a 24-point performance in Thursday's win over the Wizards, though he went to the locker room late in the third quarter and sat on the bench for the entire fourth quarter. If Duren can't play Friday, expect Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed to take on added importance. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson hits four three-pointers vs. WAS
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 3:38 PM
Duncan Robinson tallied 14 points (5-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: After a run of three consecutive games with at least 12 points, Robinson totaled nine in Detroit's last two games entering Thursday. He and fantasy managers needed a bounce-back performance, and the veteran guard came through with a 4-of-9 night from beyond the arc. The five rebounds were a nice bonus for fantasy managers, most of whom don't expect much from Robinson beyond points and three-pointers. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren tallies 24 points, 11 rebounds vs. WAS
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 3:36 PM
Jalen Duren accounted for 24 points (9-of-15 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 11 rebounds and two steals in Thursday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Duren finished Thursday's victory with a fifth consecutive double-double, but there was some concern regarding his departure with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter. The All-Star center went back to the locker room, and it was unclear if there was an injury concern. Duren was back on the bench for the entire fourth quarter, finishing with 25 minutes played. Backup Paul Reed played 21 minutes, finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks. With Isaiah Stewart unavailable, Reed has some value in deep fantasy leagues. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (lung) out at least two weeks
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 10:08 AM
Detroit Pistons
Cade Cunningham (lung) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Cunningham had to leave Tuesday's win over the Wizards with back spasms, but the issue is worse than that. The Pistons announced on Thursday that he has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Daniss Jenkins was the replacement in the starting lineup the last time Cunningham missed time, and he's a worthwhile pickup for fantasy managers. Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert may also take on enhanced roles in Cunningham's absence. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham (back) ruled out vs. Washington
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 10:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cade Cunningham (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Injured during the first quarter of Tuesday's win over the Wizards, Cunningham has already been ruled out for Thursday's rematch. Daniss Jenkins has been the replacement in the lineup in prior instances when Cunningham wasn't available, and that may be the case in this spot as well. Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert may also see their opportunities to serve as playmakers within the rotation. |

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. |
