Jaden Ivey's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. As expected, Ivey will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to knee inflammation. His return figures to push Ausar Thompson back to the bench where he won't have as great of streaming appeal. Also, Malik Beasley figures to lose some minutes as well with Ivey back in the picture. Ivey has been on a cold streak lately, but hopefully can turn it around on Saturday. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel safe about plugging him back into their lineups.

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) is currently listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It appears Ivey is trending towards getting back on the court following a two-game absence due to left knee soreness. If active, Ivey figures to return to his regular role in the starting five. The 22-year-old hasn't been the best fantasy option lately, but is worth holding due to his upside. Ivey is going to continue getting nearly 30 minutes per game, so hopefully he gets back into a rhythm soon. The return of Ivey would likely mean that Malik Beasley sees a reduced role.

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) has been downgraded to out on Thursday as expected. The third-year guard was originally considered doubtful while he dealt with knee inflammation. Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. should both see extra minutes in the starting five while Ron Holland II will remain in a reserve role. Beasley stands out as the better streaming option, especially after dropping 28 points, four assists, three rebounds, and one block in their last game against the Miami Heat.
