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. |

Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 1:52 PM
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. |
