Rotoworld Player News

Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tobias Harris finished Wednesday’s win over the Magic with 16 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks.

Harris put together another solid outing against the Magic, responding to his 17-point Game 1 with a double-double on Wednesday. The veteran forward led all players in rebounds and was the only Pistons player to record multiple blocks and steals. He’s yet to find his rhythm from beyond the arc in this series, but he’ll have an opportunity to do so in Game 3.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren produced 11 points (4-of-10 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in the win over the Magic on Wednesday.

Duren had more of an impact in Game 2 than in Game 1, even though his counting stats didn’t change much. He scored a few more points on Wednesday and was a bit more involved on offense, both as a passer and a finisher. Yet, his numbers through two games haven’t come close to his regular-season averages. He’s struggling particularly with putting the ball in the basket, but will have a chance to find his rhythm in Game 3.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham totaled 27 points (11-of-19 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in the win over the Magic on Wednesday.

Cunningham followed an impressive 39-point outing with another stellar showing in Wednesday’s win. The former first-overall pick continued to fill it up efficiently as a scorer, but his impact as a facilitator more closely resembled his dominant ways during the regular season than in Game 1. He was the only player in Wednesday’s contest to reach double figures in assists, which, combined with his team-high in points, led to a double-double. Cunningham’s seven turnovers in this game are notable. Yet, the positives outweighed the negatives in the decisive bounce-back victory.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren finished Sunday’s loss to the Magic with eight points (3-of-4 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist and one block.

Relative to his regular-season production, Duren had an underwhelming performance in Sunday’s opener. He was hardly involved across his 33 minutes, taking just four total shots. The result was a single-digit scoring performance from the first-time NBA All-Star and a team worst minus-21. If the Pistons want to avoid falling two games behind in the series on Wednesday, they’ll almost certainly need more on both ends of the floor from Duren.
Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Tobias Harris tallied 17 points (5-of-15 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in the loss to the Magic on Sunday.

Harris was one of several Pistons players to struggle on the offensive end on Sunday. He was particularly inefficient from beyond the arc and had to often rely on getting to the free-throw line to produce. Still, he was productive enough to score above his regular-season average and was the only non-Cade Cunningham Piston to reach double figures in points. As one of the team’s veterans, Harris could be relied on for more offensive output in Wednesday’s Game 2.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 39 points (13-of-27 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Game 1’s loss to the Magic on Sunday.

Cunningham led all players in scoring on Sunday, nearly logging as many points as minutes played. The points came from all levels — the three-point line, midrange, and at the rim — while he also did damage at the charity stripe. Yet, the superstar point guard couldn’t manage to get his teammates going as effectively as he had done throughout the regular season, as reflected in the four total assists he generated. Nonetheless, Cunningham did a lot for the Pistons on the offensive end on Sunday, and will need his teammates to make larger contributions in Game 2. Tobias Harris was the only other Detroit player to score in double figures on Sunday.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren, Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson and Tobias Harris will start against the Magic on Sunday.

With Duren back in the lineup after missing the regular-season finale, Detroit will have its regular starting five for Game 1 on Sunday. The Pistons posted their first 60-win season in 20 years en route to securing the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed. They will face a Magic team that is just a couple of days removed from knocking off the Charlotte Hornets in the Play-In Tournament.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic will be eligible for all 2025-26 season honors after challenging the NBA’s 65-game award rule.

The NBA ruled in favor of Cunningham and Doncic on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule. Both players will now be eligible for season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams. Doncic missed two games in December due to the birth of his child and Cunningham suffered a collapsed lung. Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards also filed a challenge, but was denied and is not eligible for awards, according to Charania.
Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Tobias Harris had 24 points (9-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, three steals and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Pacers.

The Pistons had already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, but earned their 60th win in the road victory. While Harris and the Pistons have their eyes set on the postseason, the power forward is turning 34 this offseason and set to hit free agency.
Paul Reed

DET Forward #7

Paul Reed had 26 points (11-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks in the Pistons’ 133-121 victory over the Pacers on Sunday.

Reed started and played 22 minutes with Jalen Duren (knee) out Sunday. The 26-year-old center had another excellent game filling in for the Pistons’ All-Star big man. Reed literally didn’t miss. His ability is an open secret, but fantasy managers will have to wait until Reed has a starting role of his own for his fantasy stock to truly ascend.
