Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams said center Jalen Duren (mouth) practiced on Tuesday. After losing a tooth in a collision with Jaren Jackson Jr. early in Monday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Duren looks to be on the right path to suiting up for Wednesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks. The last-place Pistons could always exercise caution with their 20-year-old franchise big man, however, and they will submit their official injury report later on Tuesday. In eight games prior to going down against Memphis, Duren averaged 15.0 points on 65.7% shooting from the floor, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.9 blocks with seven double-doubles during this stretch. He would be a strong play in all fantasy settings if he is available against the Hawks, who rank 27th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.3%) in 2023-24.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (tooth) has officially been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man was questionable to return after he lost a tooth during a collision with Jaren Jackson Jr. during Monday's game. The team has decided to hold him out for the rest of the game, but Duren shouldn't miss time because of this issue. In the meantime, James Wiseman and Chimezie Metu should see increased playing time with Duren unavailable.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will be available for Monday's matchup against Memphis. The team is trying to manage his left knee injury, and Cunningham was at first considered questionable for the game. This will mark Cunningham's third straight appearance. He's gone for 30-plus points in each of his last two games. The Grizzlies are a struggling team but boast some good defensive numbers, making this a tricky matchup for Cunningham. Memphis limited him to 16 points in the first head-to-head meeting between the teams in December, although Cunningham also bagged 10 assists and two steals in the contest.

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. He's been sidelined for the Pistons' last seven games because of a toe issue. But with six contests remaining before Detroit calls it a season, the 28-year-old may not be back for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. If Fontecchio is done, he'll end the year with averages of 15.4 points and 4.4 rebounds while shooting 42.6% from deep, the highest marks of his career. However, as far as Monday's matchup is concerned, Tosan Evbuomwan, averaging 7.8 points and 4.4 boards in five starts this season, will likely remain with the first five.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young guard has been in-and-out of the lineup lately due to left knee management. The Pistons aren't competitive right now, so they aren't going to push Cunningham out there at less than 100 percent. Fellow guard Marcus Sasser (illness) is questionable as well, so if both sit then Malachi Flynn could see significant minutes in the rotation.
