Top James Wiseman News

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Back to bench

    Wiseman isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

    Jalen Duren will replace Wiseman in the starting five Wednesday after missing time with a back injury. Wiseman is averaging 7.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.2 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Records double-double in loss

    Wiseman notched 14 points (7-11 FG), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Monday's 124-99 loss to the Knicks.

    The Pistons looked overmatched against the Knicks, but Wiseman delivered a decent performance Monday, posting his second consecutive double-double. Given the Pistons are out of contention, don't be surprised if Wiseman experiences an uptick in playing time and usage rate. He's averaging 31.7 minutes, 17.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game over his last three appearances.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Top rebounder in double-double

    Wiseman accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-6 FT) and 11 rebounds over 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-101 loss to the Pelicans.

    Wiseman led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of four Pistons with 15 or more points en route to posting the lone double-double of the game. Wiseman has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in four games this season, posting a double-double in three of those four contests. All three of Wiseman's double-double performances have taken place over the last 10 games.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Season-high 24 points Friday

    Wiseman produced 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Celtics.

    It was the best scoring performance of the season for Wiseman, who fell just short of his third double-double of 2023-24. The 22-year-old center was getting his first start of the season with Jalen Duren (back) a late scratch and Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) done for the season, and Wiseman seems set for a significant role in the frontcourt over the final weeks of the campaign. Through 16 games since the All-Star break, he's averaged 18.6 minutes a contest with 8.3 points, 6.6 boards, 1.4 assists and 0.6 blocks while shooting 62.5 percent from the floor.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Starting sans Duren

    Wiseman will start Friday's game against the Celtics.

    Minutes after the Pistons released their starting lineup, they downgraded Jalen Duren (back) to out and submitted a new first five with Wiseman joining Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Tosan Evbuomwan and Troy Brown. It'll be Wiseman's first start as a Piston, but when he's played at least 25 minutes (five games) this season, the 2020 No. 2 overall pick has averaged 15.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.0 minutes.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Flashes versatility Monday

    Wiseman ended with 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to Boston.

    Wiseman's offensive output wasn't overly impressive, but Monday marked his fourth game of the season with at least three assists, while also representing his fifth game with at least three steals-plus-blocks. The 22-year-old has plenty of time and tools to continue developing as a player, but hitting the aforementioned thresholds isn't a high bar, which is a factor in his limited fantasy appeal.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Impressive off bench Saturday

    Wiseman ended Saturday's 142-124 loss to the Mavericks with 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes.

    Wiseman logged a season-high mark in minutes, and the big man responded with the two-way ability that has characterized him since he entered the league, though this was just his second double-double of the campaign. His numbers were boosted by the fact that Jalen Duren was ejected in the second half, and Wiseman is expected to return to a bench role when the Pistons face the Hornets on Monday.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Sees 17 minutes off bench

    Wiseman closed with four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 113-111 loss to the Knicks.

    For the fourth game in a row, Wiseman was limited to minutes in the teens off the bench. He's struggled to make a real impact in Detroit, and it's hard to see that changing as long as Jalen Duren is healthy.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Surprises with 18 points

    Wiseman had 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 loss to the Lakers.

    Wiseman was an unexpected surprise considering Jalen Duren's form hold on the starting job. The duo split even minutes in the loss, but the metrics suggest that the increase is just a blip on the radar. The Pistons have little to play for, so we may see increased tinkering with the lineup after the All-Star break, and that could have a positive affect on Wiseman's totals.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Elevated role in blowout loss

    Wiseman finished with four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.

    Wiseman played 20-plus minutes for the first time since Dec. 18. He's appeared in 15 of Detroit's last 16 games, averaging 7.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 17.8 minutes per game. However, barring an injury to Jalen Duren, Wiseman doesn't have much fantasy value.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Fails to score in 12 minutes

    Wiseman provided zero points (0-2 FG) and two rebounds across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 118-112 loss to Brooklyn.

    Wiseman continues to offer minimal production in Detroit, failing to score in 12 minutes of playing time. After a brief period during which he at least put himself on the standard league radar, things have returned to normal. Given he is unlikely to be an every-night part of the rotation, there is no reason to consider him worthy of a roster spot.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Continues strong play off bench

    Wiseman totaled 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 146-114 loss to the Bucks.

    Wiseman led all Pistons bench players in scoring, rebounds and assists while setting a season-high mark with five dimes. It was his third straight game with at least 10 points, and Wiseman has reached the double-digit point total in only five contests this year. He has averaged 15.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last three games and continues to benefit from multiple absences in Detroit's frontcourt, namely Jalen Duren (ankle).

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Scores season-high 20 points

    Wiseman finished with 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Friday's 124-92 loss to the 76ers.

    The Pistons dropped their 22nd straight game Friday, so there wasn't much for the team to celebrate. However, Wiseman provided a silver lining with his best game of the campaign, leading the team with a season-high 20 points and 13 boards for his first double-double since the final game of last season. Wiseman hasn't been given substantial playing time this year, but his performance Friday may open the door to more opportunity, especially with Jalen Duren (ankle) out for an extended period and Marvin Bagley continuing to deal with a troublesome back.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Gets eight minutes in loss

    Wiseman registered four points (2-3FG) and four rebounds over eight minutes in Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Wiseman was a DNP in each of the Pistons' last two games, but he saw the floor Wednesday after Jalen Duren left with an apparent ankle injury. If Duren is forced to miss time, Wiseman and fellow big man Marvin Bagley figure to see an uptick in minutes alongside Isaiah Stewart.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Operates as primary backup

    Wiseman ended Monday's 126-107 loss to the Wizards with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds over nine minutes.

    With Jalen Duren reclaiming his spot in the starting lineup, coach Monty Williams had a decision to make regarding his backup center. Marvin Bagley had clearly moved ahead of Wiseman to start the campaign, but the former didn't see any action Monday while the latter was solid in limited work. It's unclear if this was a permanent move, but either way, both Bagley and Wiseman won't have significant fantasy value as long as Duren is healthy.
