Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) isn't expected to return for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old is averaging 22.8 points this season, a career-high. However, he's been out a few weeks after suffering a knee strain during the January 7 encounter with the Denver Nuggets. That said, although Cunningham isn't anticipated to suit up, the doubtful tag at least means he's moving in the right direction. But until he's back in the lineup, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and Alec Burks should benefit the most on the scoring end.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Milwaukee. The 22-year-old has already missed 10 games this season for various reasons. However, he tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, so his most recent ailment could keep him on the shelf for at least a few more games. With Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley III now in Washington, Ausar Thompson, who had nine rebounds and seven points on Wednesday, should continue to see more action. Kevin Knox II might also get more involved, although he's a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is expected to return to action in five to seven days after being cleared for basketball activities, the team announced on Friday. The former number-one overall pick has missed each of the last five games with a knee strain and will be out for the next two games but could make his return anytime after. For the near future, Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey will continue to see more minutes and usage as the team's potential franchise player misses some more time. January 24th at home versus the Hornets seems like the earliest potential date we could see Cunningham return.
