Ron

Holland

Thompson will be back after missing Detroit’s last four games. Ron Holland should be pushed back to the bench with Ausar back, though with Tobias Harris still sidelined, Holland should play a significant role off the bench.

Beef Stew has missed Detroit’s last three games but could be back to take on Philadelphia. Ron Holland has been starting in his place and would likely return to a bench role if Stewart is back. However, if Stewart is back and Jalen Duren (ankle) remains out, Holland could continue to start, with Paul Reed returning to the bench.

Harris will miss his fifth straight game, and it’s unclear when he’ll be available to return. Stewart has been starting in his place, and with Stewart out, Ron Holland should be in line for a spot start against the Wizards. Holland is worth streaming in deeper leagues, though Jalen Duren should see the biggest bump in usage.

Harris will remain out for a fourth straight game, which has allowed Isaiah Stewart to start. However, Stewart is doubtful with an ankle injury. Ron Holland started the third quarter in place of Stewart on Friday and should be in line to start against Philly.

Thompson is still listed as questionable on the injury report, but his presence at shootaround is encouraging for his availability against Orlando. Thompson is coming off his worst game of the year, though it was by far the worst game for the Pistons as a team. They’ll look to bounce back against the Magic. If Thompson isn’t available, Ron Holland would likely slide into the starting unit.

There weren’t many bright spots for the Pistons in Monday’s loss, but Holland was able to have a decent game. He was one of four Pistons to score 10 points, as he was joined by Cade Cunningham, Tobias Harris and Tolu Smith, who came in during garbage time and made the score a bit more respectable. This wasn’t a great game for Holland, but in a game this ugly, it looked a little better than his teammates.

LeVert was initially listed as probable for this game before being downgraded to questionable a few hours before tipoff. Now, he’s officially been ruled out. Ron Holland should be the primary reserve off the bench, with Daniss Jenkins potentially entering the rotation to play some backup point guard minutes.

Initially listed as probable due to a knee injury, LeVert will carry a questionable tag into Friday’s contest with a new injury. The late status update does not bode well for his chances of suiting up in this contest, which means more playing time could be available for Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland II.

The Pistons have made two changes to the lineup that began the preseason opener against the Grizzlies. Holland and Robinson are in the starting lineup, filling the voids left by Jaden Ivey and Tobias Harris. While both will be in the rotation when the regular season begins, performing well during the preseason may improve their standing within the bench unit. Also of note is Stewart making a second straight start, as the Pistons remain without Jalen Duren.

After dropping 28 points in his first game of the summer, Holland was quieter on Sunday, but he got back on track against Minnesota. It wasn’t enough to get a win, but he has been impressive so far, averaging 21.7 points, 2.3 three-pointers and four steals per game. Holland should be in for a monster second year in the NBA.
