Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

The Detroit Pistons acquired guard Dennis Schroder as part of the complicated Jimmy Butler trade that landed Butler in Golden State and Schroder in the Motor City with a stop in Utah, although he never played for the Jazz. Schroder started the season with the Nets and played 23 games, averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists before being traded to Golden State. He played 24 games with the Warriors but never seemed to fully gel with his new squad. He played 24 games with the Warriors, averaging 10.6 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.3 rebounds. Schroder will bring some nice veteran depth to the Pistons backcourt behind Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and he could help fill in for Ivey in the short term while Ivey works his way back from a fractured fibula.

The Utah Jazz have acquired guard Dennis Schroder in a five-team trade on Wednesday. It looked like Schroder was going to end up with the Miami Heat, but instead he'll go to Utah. Schroder has moved around quite a bit this season, but this is a less than ideal landing spot for him. The Jazz are in the middle of a rebuild and really have no need for Schroder. Possibly, Schroder will get decent playing time right now with Collin Sexton (ankle) being sidelined. However, Schroder will probably get lost in the mix once Sexton is back. Fantasy managers who have Schroder rostered shouldn't get their hopes up.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart will not play on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks due to a suspension. Stewart has been suspended for one game for picking up his sixth flagrant foul in Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. With Stewart unavailable, starting center Jalen Duren might carry a heavier workload, with Paul Reed serving as his backup. Duren has enjoyed his best form of the season lately, posting six double-doubles in seven games.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers after getting handed a Flagrant 2 foul. Stewart only lasted eight minutes on the court before elbowing Thomas Bryant to the floor which resulted in his ejection from the contest. He'll finish the night with one point and one assist, so fantasy managers won't get much from him on Wednesday. His next chance to play will be against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. Jalen Duren and Paul Reed should see increased roles with the Pistons shorthanded the rest of the night.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (head) has received the green light to play in Monday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harris' availability was initially uncertain for the contest after he suffered a head injury over the weekend against the Orlando Magic, and the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. The veteran forward has struggled badly lately, shooting only 31.6 percent from the field over his past three appearances. He was limited to 33.3 percent shooting by the Cavaliers in this season's first head-to-head clash, as Harris finished with 10 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
