Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) practiced on Tuesday, but center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) did not. Stewart sprained his left ankle in Sunday's shocking win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and his absence at Tuesday's session means he's not trending in the right direction for Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Detroit continues to manage the strained left knee of Cunningham, who was a late scratch on Sunday, but he would seem to have a good chance of returning on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Harris missed their last game but was tagged as questionable heading into this contest. He mentioned earlier in the day that he intended on suiting up for Monday's game. Harris will be asked to take on a big role with both Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (ankle) both sidelined. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure to get Harris back in their lineups. Harris looks to be a popular DFS option for Monday's slate.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) said before the morning shootaround that he's going to try to play in Monday's contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Harris has missed the past two games with a non-COVID illness and remains formally listed as questionable. It sounds like the versatile 31-year-old's availability will come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups. With Tyrese Maxey (ankle) questionable and Joel Embiid (knee) out on Monday, Kelly Oubre Jr. may have to stick around in Philly's starting five. Oubre is averaging 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 triples, and 1.1 steals in 21 games as a starter in 2023-24 and hasn't been a must-roster fantasy asset since the early portion of the campaign.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) rounded out the trifecta of missing players on Friday during their game against the Denver Nuggets. The entire big three were on the sidelines and they all have been tagged as questionable leading into their Monday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. Harris continues to deal with an illness that hasn't been given a severity level or timetable for return. He may be able to return after a two-game absence but fantasy managers will have to check back on Monday morning to see if he starts to feel any better. If he remains on the sidelines, Kelly Oubre Jr. should continue to start and he can be relied on from time-to-time as a streaming option.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) finished with 20 points and 12 assists in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. Cunningham returned after an eight-game absence because of a knee injury. Although he managed to amass a double-double, he shot a rough 7-for-17 from the field. The 22-year-old also had seven turnovers. At any rate, Cunningham played as well as expected in his first game in weeks. However, it remains to be seen if Cunningham will be back in the lineup on Sunday against OKC, the second of consecutive games. If he's not, Killian Hayes and Alec Burks would be in line for more work.
