Isaiah Stewart

DET Forward-Center #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sam Amick of The Athletic reported on Friday that the Pistons are open to trading Isaiah Stewart this offseason.

Stewart, who has two years and $30 million remaining on his current contract, saw his playing time decrease during the postseason due to Detroit’s search for more playmaking alongside Cade Cunningham. To address that issue this summer, Beef Stew could be used to make something happen. And in a separate report, NBA insider Jake Fischer wrote that Stewart is “bracing” for a move elsewhere. In 58 games last season, Stewart averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 22.7 minutes. Backing up Jalen Duren has lowered Beef Stew’s fantasy ceiling; a move to a place where he would play more could change that. And if Stewart were to be traded, that would free up additional opportunities for Paul Reed.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Sam Amick of the Athletic believes initially there will be a “huge gap” in negotiations between the Pistons and Jalen Duren this offseason.

Duren was named to the All-NBA third-team last week, making him eligible for a max contract worth up to $287 million over five years. Amick, who appeared on the Run It Back show Friday, said he has a hard time seeing the Pistons offering that much, which potentially could leave the organization and the player far apart in negotiations initially. With only a handful of teams with cap space this offseason, Duren, a restricted free agent, may still get his best offer from the Pistons, even if it isn’t a max deal.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Johnson, Tyrese Maxey and Jamal Murray were named third-team All-NBA on Sunday.

All five third-team selections were named All-NBA for the first time in their respective careers on Sunday. Duren’s selection may be the most impactful, as he’ll hit restricted free agency next month. The All-NBA selection makes him eligible for a max deal worth up to $287 million over five years. However, given his struggles during the postseason and the Pistons’ need to also address Ausar Thompson’s future, Duren may not strike it that rich this summer. Especially with other teams unable to offer a deal on par with what the Pistons can.
Daniss Jenkins

DET Guard #24

Daniss Jenkins finished Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers with 17 points (4-of-12 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers.

Jenkins started the final three games of the series, scoring at least 15 points in each. It wasn’t enough to push Detroit into the conference finals, but his performances were a positive to take into the offseason. During the regular season, Jenkins played well enough to earn a standard contract that includes a $4 million team option for 2026-27. Fantasy-wise, Jenkins was most valuable when the Pistons were shorthanded on the perimeter, especially when Cade Cunningham missed time. Due to Detroit’s need for supplementary playmaking, Jenkins could be worth taking a flier on in the late rounds of drafts in deeper leagues if he returns to the Motor City.
Ausar Thompson

DET Guard-Forward #9

Ausar Thompson notched five points (2-of-7 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two blocks and one three-pointer in Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers.

The Pistons don’t look to Thompson for much offensive production, but his deficiencies on that end were a problem against the Cavaliers. While the elite defensive ability is why Ausar logs heavy minutes, the inability to shoot was just as problematic for Detroit as center Jalen Duren’s struggles. Extension-eligible this summer, Thompson must make strides on offense to not only raise Detroit’s ceiling but his as well. Fantasy-wise, Ausar is capable of offering excellent value in category leagues, but only if he can expand his game.
Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Tobias Harris recorded five points (0-of-6 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers.

Having performed admirably throughout the postseason, Harris appeared to run out of gas in the second round. After scoring 20 points or more in each of the first three games, the veteran forward totaled 40 points in Games 4 through 7. On Sunday, Harris failed to make a shot from the field, prompting some to flash back to his final game as a 76er, when he went scoreless in Game 6 loss to the Knicks in the first round of the 2024 playoffs. In recent years, Harris has exceeded expectations in fantasy basketball. Whether he does the same in 2026-27 depends on where he’ll be, as Harris will be an unrestricted free agent.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren produced seven points (3-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers.

Sunday’s defeat was the painful conclusion to Duren’s disappointing playoff run. While active on the boards, the Pistons’ center did not offer much value in Game 7. After averaging 19.5 points per game during the regular season, that number dropped to 10.2 in the playoffs. And with Duren hitting restricted free agency next month, the question is how these playoffs will affect his market. From a fantasy standpoint, Duren has top-50 potential, and he can be even more valuable to managers willing to punt free-throw percentage.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham amassed 13 points (5-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers.

Efficiency was an issue for Cunningham throughout the Cleveland series, but he had his worst showing in Game 7. While the Pistons’ point guard committed a respectable three turnovers, he was 0-of-7 from beyond the arc. Given Detroit’s limitations on offense, they can’t afford for Cunningham not to be at his best when the lights shine brightest. However, the end should not take away from Cade’s play throughout the season. A likely All-NBA selection, he offers first-round fantasy value in formats that either don’t count or punt turnovers.
Kevin Huerter

DET Guard-Forward #27

Kevin Huerter (adductor) is available for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Cavaliers.

Huerter was available for Game 6 but did not play after aggravating his strained adductor during Game 5. Given the lack of playing time, his role is likely to be limited for Game 7.
Caris LeVert

DET Guard #8

Caris LeVert (heel) is available for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Cavaliers.

LeVert is officially available after being listed as questionable on the Pistons’ initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual reserve role, likely surpassing 25 minutes as Detroit looks to advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2008.
