  • Pistons' Malachi Flynn: Scores 11 in shorthanded backcourt

    Flynn posted 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 18 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to the Celtics.

    Flynn set a new personal high for his Detroit tenure with 18 minutes of action Monday, although the 25-year-old has been an inconsistent part of the rotation of late, picking up five healthy scratches across Detroit's last eight games. Flynn could once again be subtracted from the rotation if Cade Cunningham (knee) is able to return Wednesday versus Indiana.

  • 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' Jaden Ivey: Shoulders offense in loss

    Ivey ended with 21 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to Boston.

    Ivey was the only Piston to exceed 12 points Monday, and he did so effectively despite continuing to struggle from beyond the arc. Overall, Ivey's dribble jumper has been a respectable component of his offense this season, yielding a 35.9 percent clip that ranks in the 48th percentile among all players.

  • Pistons' Stanley Umude: Matches team-high 34 minutes

    Umude registered 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to the Celtics.

    Umude's offensive volume was low in comparison to his minute share, but the 24-year-old is becoming a regularized member of Detroit rotation down the stretch. He has operated primarily as a spot-up threat across his NBA and G League tenures thus far, making it tough to foresee fantasy value down the stretch given the off-ball nature of his usage and Umude's infrequent defensive playmaking.

  • Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Won't return Monday

    Stewart has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game due to right hamstring soreness, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports. He finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist.

    Taj Gibson started the second half in place of Stewart, who appeared to suffer the injury at some point late in the second quarter. The Pistons are classifying Stewart's injury as soreness, but he could be sent in for further imaging Tuesday if the team is concerned that he might be dealing with a strain. His absence for the rest of Monday's contest will leave Detroit shorthanded at forward, as Simone Fontecchio (toe) and Ausar Thompson (illness) had already been ruled out heading into the game.

  • Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Running with starters

    Sasser is starting Monday night's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Sasser is in line for his first start of the season, and he'll get the nod at point guard with Cade Cunningham (knee) ruled out Monday evening. He's averaging 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 20.4 minutes in his last five appearances as a reserve.

  • Pistons' Stanley Umude: Gets starting nod

    Umude is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Boston.

    Umude's current three-game stretch of double-digit minutes matches the longest streak of his career. He has been a staple of Detroit's G League team across the past two seasons, and Monday marks a continuation of an opportunity to carve out an NBA rotation role while Ausar Thompson (knee), Cade Cunningham (knee) and Simone Fontecchio (toe) are all inactive. It wouldn't be surprising to see Umude get 25-to-30 minutes of action Monday.

  • Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Ruled out Monday

    Fontecchio (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Fontecchio and Cade Cunningham (toe) have been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Ausar Thompson (illness) on the sidelines. Evan Fournier, Marcus Sasser and Troy Brown are candidates for increased roles, but Jaden Ivey should lead the offensive charge.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Downgraded to out

    Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Boston, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Cummingham and Simone Fontecchio (toe) have been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Ausar Thompson (illness) on the sidelines. Jaden Ivey should lead Detroit in usage Monday, but Marcus Sasser, Evan Fournier and Troy Brown are also candidates for increased roles.

  • Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Iffy for Monday

    Fontecchio is questionable for Monday's game against Boston with a left toe contusion.

    This sounds like a day-to-day issue for Fontecchio, but the Pistons could err on the side of caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fontecchio played 35 minutes Sunday night, producing 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks. If he's unable to suit up, the Pistons would likely need to use a committee approach to soak up his minutes with so many injuries on the roster.

  • Pistons' Quentin Grimes: Remains sidelined for Monday's game

    Grimes (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Boston.

    Grimes continues to deal with a knee issue and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. Evan Fournier, Simone Fontecchio (toe) and Marcus Sasser could see increased work against the Celtics.

  • Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Won't play Monday

    Thompson (illness) won't play Monday against the Celtics.

    Thompson will be sidelined for a fifth straight game Monday with an unspecified illness. The Pistons won't practice Tuesday, so Thompson could struggle to gain clearance for the team's next game Wednesday versus the Pacers.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Questionable for Monday

    Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

    Cunningham was probable for Sunday's game against Miami due to his knee injury, and his status for the second half of the back-to-back set is up in the air due to left knee injury management. If he sits against the Celtics, Marcus Sasser could see an increased role.

  • Pistons' Jalen Duren: Double-double against Miami

    Duren registered 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 loss to the Heat.

    It was the fourth straight double-double for the second-year center and his 38th of the season, tying him with Tyrese Haliburton for eighth in the league. Duren has failed to pull down double-digit boards only twice in 13 games since the All-Star break, averaging 14.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Leads team in scoring Sunday

    Fournier had a team-high 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 104-101 loss to Miami.

    All five Detroit starters scored in double digits, but none topped Fournier's 18 points. It was the 31-year-old's best scoring performance since coming over from the Knicks, and the first time he played more than 30 minutes as Ausar Thompson (illness) missed his fourth straight game and Quentin Grimes (knee) missed his second straight. There's no real role for Fournier on a rebuilding Pistons roster when the younger wing options are healthy, but he might have some short-term DFS appeal.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Good to go Sunday

    Cunningham (knee) is available for Sunday's game versus Miami.

    Cunningham had been listed as probable heading into Sunday with left knee soreness but will suit up for the front half of a back-to-back set for Detroit. The third-year guard is averaging 21.3 points, 8.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds in three games versus the Heat this season.
