Detroit Pistons DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of tip-off against Indiana on Friday. The veteran returns to the lineup after missing the previous game with a hip issue. Through 19 appearances, Harris has been limited to 13.8 points on 44.4 percent shooting this season, grabbing 7.2 rebounds. Harris' return means a bench role for Ausar Thompson, with Simone Fontecchio and Ronald Holland II also losing playing time. Indiana struggles defensively, making this a good matchup for Harris, but he managed only 13 points in the first head-to-head meeting of the season.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will rejoin the action on Friday versus Indiana. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Cunningham returns from a three-game absence and lines up in a fascinating matchup against Tyrese Haliburton. The Pistons star outplayed his counterpart in this season's first meeting, netting 28 points with five rebounds, eight assists, and one steal. Cunningham's return will push Malik Beasley back to the bench, but he should still play a significant role in the rotation.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Cunningham has missed the last three games due to a hip issue, but was active during shootaround on Friday. The fact he was able to participate in shootaround is a good sign, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off for official word on his status. Malik Beasley would likely see increased run if Cunningham is unable to play. He's worth a look as a streaming option, but has lost some steam over the last few games.

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder (personal) won't play on Friday night against the Orlando Magic. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined, Schroder has stepped up, combining for 60 points in the final two games of the Nets' road trip. But now that he isn't available, Cameron Johnson (ankle) could see a substantial uptick on the scoring end, assuming he plays. Ben Simmons, coming off a 14-point, nine-rebound, eight-assist effort in Wednesday's win over the Phoenix Suns, could also be more involved. The same can be said about Ziaire Williams and Tyrese Martin, with the 25-year-old scoring 30 points and shooting 8-for-10 from deep on Wednesday.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) might have to sit out his first game of the season when the team visits Memphis on Wednesday. The veteran forward has been listed as questionable for the clash. Harris is among Detroit's leading rebounders, grabbing 7.2 boards per game, and has averaged 13.8 points in 33.2 minutes. With Cade Cunningham (hip) unlikely to return on Wednesday, there are going to be a lot of shots available for Jaden Ivey, Malik Beasley, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Simone Fontecchio, Ausar Thompson, and Ronald Holland II might receive more playing time due to Harris' absence. Thompson's versatility makes him the best fantasy option out of the three players.
