Rotoworld Player News

Ronald Holland

DET Forward #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ron Holland (eye) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

An eye injury forced Holland’s premature exit from Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, resulting in a few more minutes for fellow reserve Kevin Huerter. Holland’s absence from the injury report means that he’s good to go for Saturday.
Ausar Thompson

DET Guard-Forward #9

Ausar Thompson (ankle) is out for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Thompson appeared to roll his ankle early in the first quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, so it’s no surprise he’s already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets with a right ankle sprain. Ron Holland (eye) could move into the starting lineup as he’s off the injury report.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (quad) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Cunningham is dealing with a left quad contusion, which he suffered during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs. If he’s unable to play against the Nets, the Pistons will likely turn to Daniss Jenkins to fill the void. Given the matchup, Jenkins would be a worthwhile streamer.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren (back) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Duren is probable for Saturday’s game against the Nets with low back spasms. The 22-year-old center is likely to suit up and will be looking to extend his streak of six consecutive games with a double-double. A first-time All-Star, Duren has been one of the most consistent centers in fantasy basketball this year.
Isaiah Stewart

DET Forward-Center #28

Isaiah Stewart provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (4-of-8 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers on Thursday against the Spurs.

In his second game back after serving a seven-game suspension, Stewart was able to make a big impact off the bench with Jalen Duren limited to 12 minutes due to foul trouble. This was a strong performance for Beef Stew in what has been a strong season for him, though performances like this won’t come consistently when Duren is healthy. Still, this was a productive outing for him.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 26 points (10-of-26 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers in a 121-106 loss to the Spurs on Thursday.

Though this was another inefficient performance for Cunningham, he was better as a scorer than he was in Cleveland on Tuesday, when he was held to just 10 points. However, over his last five games, he has averaged 5.2 turnovers per game. Turnovers have been a weak category for him all season, but this has been a rough stretch by his standards. Still, the counting stats were strong, and he gets an easier matchup against the Nets in their next outing on Saturday.
Daniss Jenkins

DET Guard #24

Daniss Jenkins started the second half on Thursday and contributed just one assist in 14 minutes against the Spurs.

Ausar Thompson injured his ankle in the first quarter, and while there was no official diagnosis from the Pistons, he didn’t end up returning. Jenkins ended up starting the second half in his place, but he did nothing in his 14 minutes. He missed all six of his shot attempts, and his only stats were one assist and one turnover. Jenkins has been effective as a starter in the past, so if he gets the opportunity to start if Thompson misses time beyond this game, he should be better than he was in this game.
Ronald Holland

DET Forward #5

Ron Holland (eye) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Holland had been playing well in this game, scoring 10 points in 12 minutes prior to his exit. Kevin Huerter may see a few extra minutes if Holland misses time beyond the end of this game.
Ausar Thompson

DET Guard-Forward #9

Ausar Thompsonposted 16 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, four steals and one blocked shot in Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

A double-digit scorer in three of his last four games, Thompson has also recorded four complete stat lines during this stretch. Over his last four, the Pistons’ wing has averaged 7.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.8 blocks while shooting nearly 70 percent from the field. Thompson may not bring much value to the table in points and three-pointers, but the ability to fill the stat line preserves his category league value.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham tallied 10 points (4-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

The good news for Cunningham managers is that he recorded 14 assists, the most in a game for him since January 19, when he hit that number in a win over the Celtics. The Pistons’ point guard has reached double figures in assists in six of his last seven games. The negatives on Tuesday were the shooting and the turnovers, with Cunningham shooting 25 percent from the field and turning the ball over five times. Nights like Tuesday haven’t been the norm for the MVP candidate, so fantasy managers should not be overly concerned.
