Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Normally, players usually play through illnesses, so fantasy managers will have to check back on the status of Harris. If he sits, Kelly Oubre Jr. figures to move into the starting five. Oubre has been a solid option off the bench for the Sixers this season. A move to the starting unit would give him even more streaming appeal for Thursday's slate.

Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams says the team decided that guard Cade Cunningham (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus the Charlotte Hornets because they feel he needs a bit more time to work on his conditioning and get more practice reps. Detroit listed Cunningham as probable with a strained left knee on Tuesday but downgraded him to questionable on Wednesday morning before ruling him out altogether, and the 2021 No. 1 overall pick targets a return on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. Monte Morris (quadriceps) will make his debut for the Pistons and reportedly face a minutes restriction against Charlotte, so he won't be a fantasy option right off the bat. Jaden Ivey has averaged 21.4 points, 6.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 threes covering seven games without Cunningham this year.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) appears to be on track to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Charlotte, with the team listing him as probable for the game. Detroit's young star has missed seven games. Cunningham put together a strong stretch of games right before getting hurt, and he returns in a juicy matchup against a team that shares the league's worst defensive rating with the Pistons. His return will push Killian Hayes back to the bench. Hayes has struggled even with Cunningham out of the lineup and should be a free agent in most fantasy leagues.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Cunningham will sit out after being listed as doubtful coming into this game due to a left knee strain. It wouldn't be shocking to see Cunningham continue to miss time until he's back to full strength. Killian Hayes should continue to start and see an increased role with Cunningham unavailable.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is questionable for Monday's clash with Milwaukee. The 22-year-old has missed plenty of games this season. However, his most recent ailment, a sprained shoulder, kept him off the floor on Saturday versus the Bucks, the first of consecutive games between the clubs. As a result, Danilo Gallinari logged 16 minutes in his first appearance with his new club. But Ausar Thompson should benefit the most if Stewart doesn't play, with the rookie amassing 22 points, nine boards, and a steal in 32 minutes on Saturday.
