Isaiah Stewart DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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/center Isaiah Stewart will not play on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks due to a suspension. Stewart has been suspended for one game for picking up his sixth flagrant foul in Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. With Stewart unavailable, starting center Jalen Duren might carry a heavier workload, with Paul Reed serving as his backup. Duren has enjoyed his best form of the season lately, posting six double-doubles in seven games.

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers after getting handed a Flagrant 2 foul. Stewart only lasted eight minutes on the court before elbowing Thomas Bryant to the floor which resulted in his ejection from the contest. He'll finish the night with one point and one assist, so fantasy managers won't get much from him on Wednesday. His next chance to play will be against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. Jalen Duren and Paul Reed should see increased roles with the Pistons shorthanded the rest of the night.
