Tobias Harris Tobias Harris records career-high six steals
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 5:08 PM
Tobias Harris accounted for 11 points (5-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, six steals and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: While he wasn't all that impactful as a scorer, Harris proved to be an asset in other ways in Friday's overtime victory. While solid in the rebound and assist categories, the veteran forward racked up a career-high six steals. And it was Harris' defense on Evan Mobley in the final seconds of overtime that preserved Detroit's three-point victory. Due to the emergence of other players on the roster, Harris' fantasy value has taken a hit, but he remains a key figure for the Pistons. |

Ausar Thompson Ausar Thompson produces 18 points, full line
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 5:07 PM
Ausar Thompson recorded 18 points (7-of-10 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Thompson has responded well since being benched for the second half of Monday's loss to the Spurs. After scoring 11 points and recording seven assists, three steals and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Thunder, he put up another solid stat line against the Cavaliers. Thompson shot 70 percent from the field, reaching double figures in attempts for the second time in February. Ausar isn't a prolific scorer, but the Pistons can't afford for him to be as passive as he was in the first half of Monday's loss to the Spurs. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff sent his young wing a message, and he's responded the right way. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren records 33/16/3/1/3 line vs. Cleveland
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 5:07 PM
Jalen Duren accounted for 33 points (11-of-19 FGs, 11-of-15 FTs), 16 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Having earned his first All-Star Game selection this season, Duren has been outstanding for the team with the NBA's best record. He extended his double-double streak to four games in Friday's overtime victory, with the 33 points matching Duren's season-high. The Pistons end Week 18 with a road game against the Magic on Sunday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham records 25/10/7/2 line vs. Cavs
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 4:50 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Friday's win over the Cavaliers with 25 points (11-of-21 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
Analysis: Unfortunately for Cunningham and the Pistons, the MVP candidate was not around for the conclusion of Friday's game. With the Pistons trailing by four with 1:56 remaining, he was whistled for his sixth foul, his third disqualification of the season. However, Cade's exit did not spell doom for the Pistons. Daniss Jenkins hit three free throws with 4.7 seconds remaining to force overtime, and Detroit would win it in the extra session. Cunningham finished three assists shy of a triple-double, another stellar stat line for the Pistons' point guard. Detroit will look to end Week 18 on a high note when they visit the Magic on Sunday. |

Cade Cunningham Cade Cunningham posts 29 points, 13 assists
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:34 PM
Cade Cunningham accounted for 29 points (11-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, 13 assists, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Thunder.
Analysis: While Cunningham was responsible for eight turnovers, the overall stat line should help compensate for that. Over the past month, the Pistons' point guard has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Cunningham has been included in early Most Valuable Player conversations, and with good reason. He's been a highly productive lead option on the team with the league's best record, and some of the other expected contenders may not be eligible due to the 65-game requirement when it's time to vote. |

Jalen Duren Jalen Duren drops 29 points, 15 rebounds vs. OKC
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 4:33 PM
Jalen Duren recorded 29 points (12-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.
Analysis: The Pistons' two All-Stars did what players of their caliber are expected to do, with Duren and Cade Cunningham combining to score 58 points. Both recorded double-doubles, with the former notching his 27th of the season. Since returning from his two-game suspension, Duren has averaged 26.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 68 percent from the field. The Pistons end Week 18 with games on Friday and Sunday against the Cavaliers and Magic. |

Ausar Thompson Thompson only plays 18 minutes in Monday's loss
Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 4:20 PM
Ausar Thompson had eight points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and two assists in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Thompson wasn't having the greatest game, but he was curiously benched in the second half of Monday's loss to the Spurs. The 23-year-old small forward finished with eight points in just 18 minutes. After the game, Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he simply preferred to play Ron Holland. It's difficult to argue with the results as Holland had 15 points, 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench. This will certainly be a situation for Thompson's fantasy managers to monitor, starting with the Pistons' next game Wednesday against the Thunder. |

Jalen Duren had 25 points (10-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: While the Pistons struggled as a whole in Monday's 11-point loss to the Spurs, Duren managed to have a great fantasy game. The 22-year-old center had 25 points on 13 field goal attempts and 14 rebounds. He's provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. Duren and the Pistons will take on the Thunder at home on Wednesday. |

Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 4:12 PM
Cade Cunningham had 16 points (5-of-26 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, three blocks and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Cunningham couldn't get much going against the Spurs defense, finishing with 16 points on 26 field goal attempts. He was still able to record 10 assists and only had three turnovers. Cunningham has been second overall in per game value over the last two weeks. The Pistons' next game is Wednesday against the Thunder. |

Jalen Duren Duren tallies 26 points, 12 boards vs. Bulls
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 6:03 PM
Jalen Duren powered the Pistons to their fifth straight win on Saturday, posting 26 points (12-of-20 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes in a 126-110 win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Duren has been one of the most improved players in the entire league this season, making a significant leap from a scoring standpoint, averaging 17.8 points through 45 games after mustering just 11.8 per-game last year. The 22-year-old big man topped the 20-point mark for the 15th time this season, accomplishing the feat in four of his last seven games since January 29. The Pistons will attempt to keep their win streak alive when they face the Spurs on Monday before closing out a busy four-game week with showdowns against the Thunder, Cavaliers and Magic. |

Cade Cunningham Cunningham posts 18 points, 13 helpers in victory
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 6:00 PM
Cade Cunningham finished Saturday's lopsided victory over the Bulls with 18 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and three blocks over 30 minutes.
Analysis: On the heels of a sublime 42-point effort against the Knicks earlier this week, Cunningham served as more of a facilitator against the free-falling Bulls, dishing out double-digit assists for the second straight contest. Detroit didn't need to lean on him down the home stretch as they pulled away for a relatively easy win. The 24-year-old superstar has paced the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons with 30.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 10.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks over his last four games. Simply put, he's one of the most impactful all-around contributors in the entire fantasy landscape. |

Tobias Harris Tobias Harris has double-double in win over Knicks
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 4:29 PM
Tobias Harris had 11 points (4-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Harris wasn't efficient from the field as he scored just 11 points on 16 field goal attempts, going 4-of-16. The 33-year-old power forward cleaned the glass with 10 rebounds, which helped the Pistons given the suspensions to Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Harris continues to be just solid in his role while the Pistons' overall depth has capped his ceiling. |

Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 4:24 PM
Paul Reed had 18 points (7-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks in Thursday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Reed had another big game as he drew another start with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart suspended. The 26-year-old center had 18 points and seven rebounds as well as one steal and three blocks on the defensive end. That's a complete game from Reed. With Duren's suspension over now, he'll return to the bench, but could still have fantasy value with Stewart suspended another five games. |

Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 4:18 PM
Cade Cunningham had 42 points (17-of-34 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, two blocks and five three-pointers in the Pistons' 126-111 victory over the Knicks on Thursday.
Analysis: With Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart suspended, the Pistons entered Madison Square Garden as underdogs Thursday night. Shorthanded or otherwise, Cunningham proceeded to carry Detroit to a 15-point victory, its third of the season over the Knicks. The 24-year-old point guard was aggressive and never let up, dropping 42 points and 13 assists on New York in the process. He's provided second-round per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:43 PM
Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 28 points (9-of-14 FGs), seven rebounds, nine assists, three steals, one block and six three-pointers in a 113-95 win over the Raptors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Cunningham remained hot to help Detroit win a third straight game to enter the All-Star break. He was able to match his season high for three-pointers while also shooting efficiently from the floor. Cunningham's excellent season has Detroit atop the Eastern conference entering the break, and he'll continue to be elite in fantasy basketball for the rest of the season. |

Paul Reed Paul Reed records 22/5/3/2/4 line as starter
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:36 PM
Paul Reed started on Wednesday and finished with 22 points (10-of-17 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals, four blocks and one three-pointer against the Raptors.
Analysis: Reed got the starting nod with both Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart suspended for this game. He made an immediate impact on this game, contributing 16 points and three stocks in the first quarter without missing a shot in just the first quarter. He cooled off as the game progressed, but he was still incredibly productive. Stewart has six games left on his suspension, while Duren will only be sidelined for one more, which will be on Feb. 19 against the Knicks. Reed should get one more start and then play an increased role off the bench until Stewart returns. |

Paul Reed DET starting Cade, Robinson, Ausar, Harris, Reed
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 1:09 PM
Blake Murphy
Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Paul Reed will start against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Reed enters the starting unit and should remain there for one game beyond this. Jalen Duren was suspended two games, and Isaiah Stewart was hit with a seven-game ban for each's involvement in Monday's brawl. Reed should play a significant role as the primary center option. |
