Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) appears to be on track to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Charlotte, with the team listing him as probable for the game. Detroit's young star has missed seven games. Cunningham put together a strong stretch of games right before getting hurt, and he returns in a juicy matchup against a team that shares the league's worst defensive rating with the Pistons. His return will push Killian Hayes back to the bench. Hayes has struggled even with Cunningham out of the lineup and should be a free agent in most fantasy leagues.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Cunningham will sit out after being listed as doubtful coming into this game due to a left knee strain. It wouldn't be shocking to see Cunningham continue to miss time until he's back to full strength. Killian Hayes should continue to start and see an increased role with Cunningham unavailable.
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is questionable for Monday's clash with Milwaukee. The 22-year-old has missed plenty of games this season. However, his most recent ailment, a sprained shoulder, kept him off the floor on Saturday versus the Bucks, the first of consecutive games between the clubs. As a result, Danilo Gallinari logged 16 minutes in his first appearance with his new club. But Ausar Thompson should benefit the most if Stewart doesn't play, with the rookie amassing 22 points, nine boards, and a steal in 32 minutes on Saturday.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) isn't expected to return for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old is averaging 22.8 points this season, a career-high. However, he's been out a few weeks after suffering a knee strain during the January 7 encounter with the Denver Nuggets. That said, although Cunningham isn't anticipated to suit up, the doubtful tag at least means he's moving in the right direction. But until he's back in the lineup, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and Alec Burks should benefit the most on the scoring end.
Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Milwaukee. The 22-year-old has already missed 10 games this season for various reasons. However, he tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, so his most recent ailment could keep him on the shelf for at least a few more games. With Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley III now in Washington, Ausar Thompson, who had nine rebounds and seven points on Wednesday, should continue to see more action. Kevin Knox II might also get more involved, although he's a hit-or-miss fantasy option.
