Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago. He's been out for the past four games, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss the rest of the campaign. The team has zero reasons to play its best player in a situation where Detroit is set to finish with the worst record in the league for the second year in a row. Jaden Ivey gets to lead the offense without Cunningham, with Marcus Sasser and Malachi Flynn in a position to see extended minutes.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Detroit. He's back after being unavailable for three games with a knee contusion. Harris has looked sharp lately with multiple 20-point efforts and will have extra fantasy appeal on Tuesday due to Tyrese Maxey's (hip) absence. It's a favorable matchup for Harris, who's had no trouble putting up points against his former team this season, averaging 19.3 points with 54.5 percent shooting from downtown.


Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee), who remains listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, participated in the morning shootaround. The last-place Pistons have no reason to push their franchise cornerstone onto the court, but Cunningham's presence at the session bodes well for his ability to suit up for Detroit despite being listed with left knee injury management on Tuesday. Over his last 11 appearances, the 22-year-old star playmaker is averaging 24.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.9 three-pointers. The Sixers are giving up the fifth-fewest points (22.9) and fourth-fewest threes (2.6) to opposing point guards, though.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable heading into Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The veteran has missed the Sixers' last three games because of a knee injury. But with a relatively easy matchup on the horizon, Harris could get another night off in preparation for the postseason. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (hip) also on the injury report, Kelly Oubre Jr., Buddy Hield, and Paul Reed may find themselves as the top offensive options versus the 13-win Pistons.


Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers, suggesting he will play. He didn't suit up for Sunday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets because of a sprained left ankle. As a result, James Wiseman got the start but finished with only four points, five rebounds, and one steal. But now that Duren is expected to return on Tuesday, Wiseman won't see much interest from DFS managers. However, Chimezie Metu, averaging 13.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in the last four games, could stay involved, even more so if Cade Cunningham (knee) misses another contest.
