Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. He's missed the last three games because of left knee maintenance purposes. However, the Pistons have only four games left in their disastrous season, so the 22-year-old may not be back on the floor until the 2024-25 campaign. Of course, Cunningham's potential absence could allow Marcus Sasser, coming off an 18-point, six-assist showing on Sunday against Brooklyn, to remain relevant for fantasy managers. At the same time, Jaden Ivey, who took 21 shots versus the Nets, has a higher DFS ceiling than usual without Cunningham active.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is out on Sunday against the Spurs. He has a knee contusion, so his next chance to play will be Tuesday in Detroit. But with Joel Embiid (knee) also sidelined, Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Kelly Oubre Jr. should consume most of Philly's offensive opportunities.


Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as questionable heading into this one, and with Brooklyn not going anywhere near the postseason, there was a chance he'd be sidelined. However, Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is now doubtful, so Schroder is a lock for all fantasy lineups.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Memphis. A bone bruise on his left knee took Harris out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Miami, and he was expected to miss one or two games. It looks like his absence could be limited to only one game, although it wouldn't be surprising to see Philadelphia keep him out of action on Saturday with another game against San Antonio coming up on Sunday night. Nicolas Batum logged 32 minutes as Harris' replacement in the starting unit on Thursday, finishing with zero points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and one block.


Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) continues to deal with a toe contusion and has been ruled out for the 10th consecutive game. His last game was on March 17 against the Miami Heat. With only a little more than a week left in the season, we may not see him return, but that has not been officially reported just yet. The Pistons currently have the worst record in the league and the best odds at the number-one pick in the 2024 NBA Draft seem to be locked up. As Fontecchio has watched from the sidelines, Troy Brown Jr., Chimezie Metu, and Malachi Flynn have all been getting some added minutes down the stretch.
