Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) will be able to return to the floor for the Pistons on Saturday night when they host the Raptors. Hardaway was originally listed as questionable after being a late scratch for Thursday's contest due to back tightness. He had been starting for Detroit and getting a little more work with Jaden Ivey (leg) out. The veteran averaged 13.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.4 three-pointers in 31 minutes in his last five games before being sidelined. His return will move Malik Beasley to the second unit while Ron Holland II and Marcus Sasser will likely have less work off the bench as well.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) will not play in Thursday's contest against Golden State. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a back issue, and the injury will keep the veteran sniper sidelined on Thursday. Ausar Thompson (illness) will take over Hardaway Jr.'s spot in the starting unit. Thompson has been battling an illness lately, missing two games, and might not be at his best on Thursday.

Golden State Warriors guard Dennis Schroder (hip) will be in the lineup against Detroit on Thursday. He was initially iffy for the contest due to a hip contusion, but the Warriors have upgraded him from questionable to available. Schroder's fantasy stock has taken a bad blow with his trade to Golden State, as he's been limited to 9.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on his new team. However, the German star might have a larger role to play offensively on Thursday due to Andrew Wiggins' (personal) absence.

Golden State Warriors guard Dennis Schroder (hip) was listed as questionable for Thursday's road game in Detroit. Stephen Curry (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) are also questionable, so even if Schroder is available, his role is uncertain. Since joining the Warriors, Schroder has not missed a game, starting 11 straight games for Golden State but producing only 9.5 points, 4.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.5 steals in 27.9 minutes per game. Schroder could be in for a large workload in a favorable matchup if he plays through his questionable tag and Curry is out, but he has yet to really flourish with his new team. If he is out, Moses Moody, Lindy Waters III, and Buddy Hield could help pick up extra work.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (left knee soreness) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Cunningham had been listed as probable but is now cleared to play and will continue his role as the centerpiece of Detroit's offense. The star guard has proven capable of elite production, including two triple-doubles in the past month, making him a valuable fantasy asset whenever he is on the court.
