Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's matinee with the Pelicans. He was a last-minute scratch before Friday's blowout loss to the Celtics, so his next chance to suit up will be Monday versus the Knicks. In the meantime, James Wiseman, coming off a 24-point, nine-rebound performance, will be a popular DFS option.

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) remains out on Sunday against the Pelicans. The 28-year-old has played the best basketball of his career since he was acquired by the Pistons, averaging 15.4 points and 4.4 rebounds. But he hasn't played in a week because of a left big toe contusion. Fontecchio's next chance to play will be on Monday night in New York. But as far as Sunday's meeting with New Orleans is concerned, Tosan Evbuomwan, averaging 12.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in two starts this season, is expected to fill the void in the rotation.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is available for Sunday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. He'll likely appear on the injury report for the rest of the year for his left knee issue. There's also a chance the 2021 No. 1 overall pick will sit out at least a few of Detroit's final 12 games. But for now, he's good to go. Cunningham had a double-double with four steals and one block versus the Pels back in November. However, the 22-year-old also had six turnovers in that one, although ball-handling issues aren't anything new.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Pelicans. He was ruled out shortly before Friday's blowout loss to the Boston Celtics because of back spasms. James Wiseman got the start in that one and had one of his best games of the 2023-24 campaign, finishing with a team-high 24 points with nine rebounds and four assists. The Pistons are eliminated from postseason contention, so Duren doesn't have any incentive to risk further injury, meaning he could miss another game (and possibly more moving ahead). If that's the case, Wiseman will be a popular addition to DFS lineups.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers. After missing three consecutive contests, Philadelphia will be happy to have Harris back, especially since Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to miss more time. Nicolas Batum will likely not start with the 31-year-old suiting up. If Harris's minutes are limited in the contest, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.
