Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will play during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Cunningham will suit up after being listed as probable earlier in the day. He played 31 minutes during his last game and figures to play a big role once again. He finished with 19 points, two rebounds, seven assists, two steals during that contest. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Cunningham back in their lineups for Friday. He has been playing well lately and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's only listed with knee injury management, so the injury report just seems to be a housekeeping type of deal. The up-and-coming point guard was able to play a full 30 minutes in their last contest on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In that one, he registered 19 points, seven assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block. The Clippers present a different test as they're one of the top teams in the league right now and boast one of the better perimeter defenses too. Cunningham is still a must-start player whenever he's healthy, so he should be in all lineups regardless of format.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is expected to miss at least 10-to-14 days with a sprained left ankle. Stewart missed Tuesday's practice and Wednesday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers after sustaining the injury in Sunday's stunning victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the 6-41 Pistons could end up keeping the 22-year-old former first-rounder out until after the mid-February All-Star break. Stewart is not a must-hold in shallow category fantasy leagues. With Beef Stew on the shelf and Mike Muscala (concussion) out indefinitely, Jalen Duren should monopolize minutes in the middle. While James Wiseman could resurface in Detroit's rotation, the names to watch for fantasy purposes are Danilo Gallinari, Kevin Knox II, and Ausar Thompson.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stewart sprained his left ankle in Sunday's upset win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the injury will sideline him for at least one game. Beef Stew looks to return on Friday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, while Alec Burks and Ausar Thompson are candidates for extended run against the Cavs on Wednesday.

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.
