DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (wrist) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

Cunningham, who did about whatever he wanted in Monday’s win over the Knicks, is dealing with a right wrist contusion. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so fantasy managers should assume that Cade will play. If he doesn’t play, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will figure more prominently in the Pistons’ rotation.
Duncan Robinson

DET Forward #55

Duncan Robinson (calf) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

Despite having a left calf contusion, Robinson is on track to play based on the probable tag. If he’s available, Robinson will be in the starting lineup.
Caris LeVert

DET Guard #8

Caris LeVert (knee) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

LeVert has missed Detroit’s last four games wth left knee tendinopathy. His return would likely result in fewer minutes for Daniss Jenkins, who played 23 minutes off the bench in Monday’s win over the Knicks.
Javonte Green

DET Guard #31

Javonte Green had 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers against the Knicks on Monday.

Green continues to play more minutes with Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris and Caris LeVert missing some time. The 32-year-old shooting guard isn’t worth rostering in most leagues, but in the right matchup he can score around 20 points and make 3-4 threes. That might be enough to make him worth considering as a streamer in some deeper formats.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham had 29 points (11-of-17 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in the Pistons’ 121-90 victory over the Knicks on Monday.

Cunningham admitted in the postgame interview that there was something extra to the game because they were playing the Knicks for the first time since losing to them in last year’s playoffs. The Pistons had a 10 point at halftime before Cunningham completely took over in the third quarter. The 24-year-old point guard had 15 points, the same amount as the Knicks’ entire team, as the Pistons won the third quarter by 10. He came out of the game with 29 points and 13 assists in just 29 minutes. Cunningham should be well rested when Detroit is back in action Wednesday against the Bulls.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (hip) is available for Monday’s game against the Knicks.

Cunningham was listed as probable with a right hip contusion, so it’s no surprise he’s available for Monday’s game. The 24-year-old point guard had 27 points in 37 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Cunningham went through warmups and was ruled in for a rematch from last year’s playoffs against the Knicks.
Caris LeVert

DET Guard #8

Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Monday.

LeVert will miss a fourth straight game, which means Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will continue to fill his role off the bench. Sasser shined in the first two absences, while Jenkins scored 25 in Detroit’s last game.
Paul Reed

DET Forward #7

Paul Reed tallied eight points (4-of-9 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers.

The Pistons did not have Tobias Harris or Jalen Duren for Sunday’s game, so Reed joined Isaiah Stewart in the starting lineup. “BBall Paul” wasn’t a prolific scorer, but the rebounds and assists will be helpful to the few who streamed him. As for Stewart, he supplemented his eight points with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocked shots. He remains the superior option for fantasy managers while Harris and Duren remain out.
Daniss Jenkins

DET Guard #24

Daniss Jenkins amassed 25 points (7-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, five assists and six three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers.

With Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren out due to injury, the Pistons needed someone to step up offensively. Enter Jenkins, who had the most prolific quarter for a bench player in franchise history on Sunday. Shooting 6-of-6 from beyond the arc, the second-year guard scored 21 points in the second quarter. Jenkins did not offer much scoring in the second half, but the second quarter enabled Detroit to bounce back from a slow start, with the Pistons scoring 47 points in the frame.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham finished Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers with 27 points (7-of-22 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers.

While Cunningham did not shoot the ball well from the field on Sunday, he was efficient in other ways. A perfect 11-of-11 from the foul line, the Pistons’ point guard was responsible for just one turnover, one shy of his season-low tally. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has offered top-10 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Pistons play four games in Week 12, starting with the Knicks on Monday.
