Rotoworld Player News

Isaiah Stewart

DET Forward-Center #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Isaiah Stewart tallied 19 points (6-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Bucks.

With Tobias Harris (ankle) unavailable, Stewart made his seventh start of the season on Saturday. After shooting 4-of-10 from three in his previous nine appearances, Beef Stew shot 3-of-5 against the Bucks. If there was a disappointing aspect of his performances, it was the lack of rebounds. Over the last two games, Stewart totaled three rebounds, a poor return for a player averaging 6.0 per game on the season. Recent rebounding production aside, he remains a player who should be rostered in deep leagues.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren finished Saturday’s win over the Bucks with 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 16 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot.

After a streak of four straight double-doubles, Duren entered Saturday having totaled 14 rebounds in his last two outings. Rebounding wasn’t a problem against the Bucks, especially with Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo unavailable due to injury. Duren has recorded at least 16 rebounds in five games this season, with Saturday’s effort being the first since November 26. The Pistons play once during Week 8 but will have four games in fantasy leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 due to the NBA Cup knockout rounds.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham amassed 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Bucks.

After playing 36 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers, Cunningham logged 32 on Saturday, spending most of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Pistons point guard is up to 12 double-doubles on the season and fifth in his last 10 games. The negative for Cunningham managers is the upcoming schedule, as Detroit plays only once in Week 8. However, this won’t be a significant issue for those competing in leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup knockout rounds.
Marcus Sasser

DET Guard #25

Marcus Sasser (hip) is available for Saturday’s game against the Bucks.

Sasser is officially available to make his season debut on Saturday, improving Detroit’s depth on the perimeter. However, he’s unlikely to get the run needed to impact fantasy basketball. Daniss Jenkins may fall out of the rotation entirely with Sasser available.
Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Tobias Harris (ankle) is out for Saturday’s game against the Bucks.

Harris will not play on Saturday after logging 31 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers. Isaiah Stewart is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, and Beef Stew would be worth a look in deep leagues.
Marcus Sasser

DET Guard #25

Marcus Sasser (hip) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Bucks.

Sasser is closing in on his season debut, which is likely to come Saturday against the Bucks given his probable listing. The 25-year-old point guard will improve the Pistons’ depth, but isn’t relevant for fantasy managers.
Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Tobias Harris (ankle) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Bucks.

Harris had 10 points in 31 minutes in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday. Isaiah Stewart could move into the starting lineup if Harris sits out the second game of a back-to-back against the Bucks on Saturday.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham had 29 points (7-of-15 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, one block, three steals and two three-pointers in the Pistons’ 122-116 victory over the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Cunningham was the do-it-all superstar we’ve seen so far for the Pistons this season again Friday. The 24-year-old point guard filled up the stat sheet, leading the way with 29 points and nine assists. Cunningham is also getting it done on the defensive end, where he has 10 steals in three games so far this week. The Pistons close out the week with a matchup against the Bucks on Saturday.
Marcus Sasser

DET Guard #25

Marcus Sasser (hip) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Sasser was close to making his season debut, but he will have to wait at least one more game. It will be great to see him back, but his role will likely be too small for him to be rostered in standard leagues.
Duncan Robinson

DET Forward #55

Duncan Robinson (ankle) is available to play against the Trail Blazers on Friday and will start alongside Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren.

Robinson will be back after a two-game absence, which will push Daniss Jenkins back to the bench. Jenkins had been effective as a starter in the past, but this was a rough two-game stretch for him. He’ll lose the streaming upside he held as a reserve.
