Rotoworld Player News

Ausar Thompson

DET Guard-Forward #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Thompson is questionable for Monday’s game against the Thunder with right ankle injury management. With every other member of the Pistons starting lineup either ruled out already or listed as doubtful, Thompson could be a tough start even if he’s active due to the likelihood of a blowout.
Duncan Robinson

DET Forward #55

Duncan Robinson (hip) and Tobias Harris (hip) are doubtful for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Both Robinson and Harris are listed as doubtful for Monday’s game against the Thunder due to hip injury management. To be specific, Robinson is dealing with a right hip injury while it’s the left hip that’s been giving Harris problems. The Pistons appear prepared to be without much of their roster Monday with Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart still sidelined and Jalen Duren (knee) also listed as doubtful. Kevin Huerter and Ron Holland figure to see more minutes against the Thunder, but the blowout potential is too great to trust either in the last week of the fantasy finals.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren (knee) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Duren is unlikely to play Monday against the Thunder as he’s listed as doubtful due to right knee injury management. With Isaiah Stewart still sidelined, Paul Reed should start and have a big role against the Thunder, but the potential for a blowout takes some of the steam from his streaming appeal.
Ronald Holland

DET Forward #5

on Holland tallied 13 points (4-of-7 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves.

After totaling six points in his last three appearances, Holland more than doubled that tally on Saturday. The 13 points were the most he’s scored in a game since March 12, when the second-year wing scored 15 in a win over the 76ers. Another positive regarding Holland’s performance was the defensive production, as he recorded four “stocks.” Before Saturday, he last hit that number during a January 5 blowout of the Knicks. Holland is not a must-add player going into Detroit’s four-game Week 23, but he could have added value early on due to the back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren recorded 10 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 13 rebounds, five assists and one blocked shot in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves.

With no Cade Cunningham (lung) in the fold, Duren has received a little more room to initiate offense. Against the Timberwolves, the All-Star center dished out five assists, and he’s recorded 18 over his last four games. With the added responsibility has come an increase in Duren’s turnovers, but not to the point where he becomes a liability. As good as he has been all season, the slight change to Duren’s role has raised his fantasy ceiling heading into championship week in Yahoo! default leagues.
Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Tobias Harris accounted for 18 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves.

Harris led six Pistons in double figures with 18 points, and he finished the 109-87 victory with a complete stat line. The veteran forward’s three blocks tied his season-high, which Harris first recorded in a March 8 loss to the Heat. With Cade Cunningham (lung) sidelined, Harris’ role has become more important, and he has scored in double figures in each of his last five games. The Pistons play four games in Week 23, starting with the Thunder on Monday.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren (knee) and Tobias Harris (hip) are available for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Duren and Harris are good to go after initially being probable for Saturday’s game. They’ll take on their usual roles within the Pistons’ starting lineup.
Duncan Robinson

DET Forward #55

Duncan Robinson (hip) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) are available for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Thompson was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so his status upgrade was expected. As for Robinson, he’s back in the lineup after being a late scratch for Thursday’s win over the Pelicans. His return pushes Kevin Huerter to the bench.
Isaiah Stewart

DET Forward-Center #28

Isaiah Stewart (calf) has been cleared to resume on-court activities.

Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves will be the eighth that Stewart has missed with a strained left calf. The clearance for on-court work means that Beef Stew is closing in on a return to action, so he should have ample time to shake off the rust ahead of the postseason. Paul Reed will continue to take on the backup center responsibilities until Stewart returns.
Caris LeVert

DET Guard #8

Caris LeVert (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

LeVert is back after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Pelicans. He played 15 minutes the night prior against the Hawks and is likely on track for a similar workload. That is not enough to justify rostering LeVert in fantasy leagues.
