Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (personal) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is out of the lineup due to personal reasons. Malik Beasley looks set to earn another start with Harris unavailable. He has been among the league's best three-point shooters in 2024-25, nailing 42.4 percent of his attempts from behind the arc. Beasley averages 16.6 points per game and has pushed his production to 20.1 in the games he has started.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (back) will not play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He will be held out of the contest due to a lower back contusion. If Stewart recovers quickly, he might return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. On Monday, we should see Paul Reed fill the backup center minutes. It is unlikely he will see much time on the court behind starter Jalen Duren, but it's a good matchup for the Pistons' big men, as Utah allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Harris will miss this game due to personal reasons, which will be his first absence since the middle of December. Malik Beasley is a candidate to move into the starting five with Harris sidelined. Beasley was already a fairly decent streaming choice, but his fantasy value should increase with a move into the starting five. Fantasy managers might want to take a look at Beasley with Harris unable to play on Monday.

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (finger) will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. He is back in the fold after missing two games due to a dislocated finger. Fontecchio's return provides an additional frontcourt option for the Pistons, but he is unlikely to have much impact in fantasy basketball. The Italian forward has been limited to 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes this season.

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. He has been cleared for action after sitting out one game due to a left ankle sprain. Schroder has not been an attractive fantasy piece since his move to Detroit. In six games with the Pistons, the 2023 World Cup MVP has averaged 8.2 points and 4.2 assists in 18.2 minutes. Schroder will continue in a bench role on Friday.
