Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Cunningham was a late scratch on Wednesday and will sit out Friday's game as well. The expectation is that Malachi Flynn will start again with Cunningham on the bench. He dropped 50 points during his last game. He should be worth a look as a streaming option with the Pistons shorthanded.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is expected to miss one or two games, a source has told The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey. After initially being questionable, Harris will miss Thursday's contest against Miami. He might then also be out for Sunday's matchup against Memphis. Nicolas Batum is looking at a fresh opportunity to start, with Kenyon Martin Jr. possibly also getting extra action. Meanwhile, Harris' absence should open up extra shots for Philadelphia's top guns, Kelly Oubre Jr., Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game in Miami. The veteran has been battling various ailments for the last few weeks. However, a hyperextended left knee could keep him off the floor in a pivotal meeting with the Heat. If Harris doesn't suit up, Nicolas Batum is the likeliest to replace him in the lineup. Unfortunately, the 35-year-old has averaged only 5.6 points in 34 starts this season, so he'll be hard to trust for DFS purposes, even if Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Joel Embiid (knee) are also ruled out.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) was a late scratch for Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta. The Pistons announced him as a starter, but Cunningham is sitting out the game for left knee injury management purposes. Marcus Sasser, who's back in the lineup following a bout with an illness, started at point guard instead of Cunningham. The top pick of the 2021 draft will have his first opportunity to jump back into the lineup on Friday versus Memphis.

Detroit Pistons guards Cade Cunningham (knee) and Marcus Sasser (illness) have been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Hawks. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game. Sasser returns from a two-game absence, while Cunningham has been enjoying one of the strongest stretches of the season lately. He has gone for at least 30 points in three consecutive games. Considering Cunningham will be facing a team that has the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league, the young Pistons star has a good chance to post the longest 30-point streak of his career.
