Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey suffered a gruesome looking leg injury in Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Ivey injured his left leg when Magic guard Cole Anthony dove for a loose ball. Ivey went down immediately and was in obvious pain as the game came to a pause. The 22-year-old was stretchered to the locker room with his left leg covered in towels. Ivey had been having a fantastic game up to that point, putting up 22 points while hitting five threes. He's been a key piece to the Pistons' success this season as a great second option to Cade Cunningham while posting career highs in PPG, RPG and APG. With Ivey likely to miss considerable time, expect Ausar Thompson to get bumped into the starting rotation.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is in the midst of a breakout season, but he showed up on the injury report as probable with left-knee tendinopathy for the Pistons' matchup against the Magic on Wednesday. In 27 games, Cunningham has averaged 24.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 0.9 steals in 35.9 minutes per contest. He has posted six double-doubles and two triple-doubles in his last nine games, and if he's in the lineup for Wednesday's game, Cunningham is a must-start in all fantasy formats despite a tough matchup against the Magic. His knee issue doesn't look like it will cost him time yet, but it's something to keep a close eye on moving forward.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is active ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Stewart is back in the lineup after missing each of the last four games due to a hyperextended knee. His return to the lineup means that Paul Reed will see a reduced role and possibly fall out of the rotation completely. Jalen Duren should continue starting at the center spot with Stewart being his primary backup. Fantasy managers who have Stewart rostered can get him back in their lineups here.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's road outing against Sacramento. He's missed the past three games with a sprained left knee. Jalen Duren's (ankle) minutes have gone up during Stewart's absence, with Paul Reed providing backup off the bench. Reed has just logged a season-high 20 minutes in Monday's 117-114 victory against the Lakers. Strangely, he failed to score in the contest but was busy in other areas of the game, amassing three rebounds with five assists, two blocks, and three steals. Meanwhile, Duren has averaged 10.3 points and 9.0 rebounds across the last three games without Stewart.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is considered probable for Thursday's game against Sacramento. The talented big man is dealing with a right ankle sprain but is expected to play. Duren is a nightly double-double threat, averaging 9.0 points and 9.2 rebounds for the campaign with 1.1 blocks. Centers haven't been too productive against the Kings this season, but the hosts could be without Domantas Sabonis (illness) on Thursday. His absence would put Duren in a better position to perform.
