Isaiah Stewart DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the NBA suspended Detroit Pistons forward/centerIsaiah Stewart(suspension) for two games on Tuesday. The 23-year-old was ejected from Sunday's game against Minnesota due to an on-court altercation that involved several players. Stewart has to sit Wednesday against the Thunder and Friday versus the Raptors. Teammates Marcus Sasser and Ron Holland were also involved in the scuffle and will serve a one-game suspension. While these players are out of action, Paul Reed, Lindy Waters, and Simone Fontecchio will likely see an uptick in minutes but will not make much of an impact, fantasy-wise.

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.
