Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Available Tuesday vs. Milwaukee
Cunningham (hip) is not on the NBA injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Cunningham has been sidelined for four of the Pistons' last five games due to a hip injury, but it appears he'll be good to go for Tuesday's NBA Cup contest. The No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft averaged 22.7 points, 9.6 assists and 7.8 rebounds over 35.9 minutes per game across 13 outings in November.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Solid numbers off bench in loss
Sasser provided 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the 76ers.
The starters struggled for the Pistons in this 15-point loss, but Sasser was one of several bench players who exceeded expectations for Detroit. Scoring numbers aside, Sasser was able to make an impact both as a playmaker and on-ball defender. However, there's a strong chance this was an outlier and not a sign of things to come in the future. Sasser should continue to have a limited role off the bench until further notice.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Limited to 13 minutes in loss
Duren provided four points (2-2 FG) and two assists over 13 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the 76ers.
Most of the starters struggled in this matchup, and Duren wasn't the exception -- he logged only 13 minutes, to the disappointment of fantasy managers. Duren has been far from the double-double machine he was in 2023-24, and he's reached that outcome just eight times so far. He's also recorded single-digit points in four of his last six appearances.

Pistons' Malik Beasley: Scores team-high 19 points
Beasley recorded 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the 76ers.
Beasley was a late addition to the lineup after Cade Cunningham (hip) was scratched only a few minutes before tipoff, and the veteran shooting guard extended the solid run of play he's gone through of late. Beasley has scored at least 18 points in five of his seven starts this season, and while he's likely to move back to the bench if Cunningham is able to feature against the Bucks on Tuesday, the nine-year veteran remains worth rostering in most formats due to his scoring prowess.

Pistons' Malik Beasley: Late addition to lineup
Beasley will start Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Cade Cunningham (left hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup just minutes before the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, and Beasley will take his place in the lineup. Expect Beasley to slot at shooting guard, while Jaden Ivey will start at point guard. Beasley is averaging 19.0 points per game in six starts this season.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Late scratch Saturday vs. Sixers
Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Cunningham made his return Friday against the Pacers after missing the previous three games due to a hip issue. He was initially slated to start on the second leg of a back-to-back Saturday, but he was scratched from the lineup and has been replaced by Malik Beasley in the starting five. Cunningham's next chance to play will come in Tuesday's NBA Cup game against the Bucks.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Strong showing in return
Cunningham (hip) logged 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 11 assists, six rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 130-106 win over the Pacers.
Cunningham didn't exhibit any rust in his return to action after he missed Detroit's last three games while on the mend from a left sacroiliac joint sprain. He knocked down over half of his attempts from the field and extended his double-double streak to six contests due to yet another impressive passing performance. Assuming he doesn't wind up back on the injury report for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Cunningham shouldn't be subject to a minute restriction in hte second leg of a back-to-back set.

Pistons' Malik Beasley: Excels despite move to bench
Beasley posted 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 130-106 victory over the Pacers.
Beasley posted one of his better shooting performances of the 2024-25 season, especially from downtown, where he drilled 55.6 percent of his tries after hitting at a clip of 34.0 percent in his previous five appearances entering the day. The Florida State product shifted back to his usual bench role Friday due to the return of Cade Cunningham from a hip injury, though the role shift actually worked out in Beasley's favor from a production standpoint, as he turned in his best scoring effort since Nov. 17 against the Wizards. Fantasy managers can expect Beasley to come off the bench moving forward, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can't contribute at a high level as a scorer.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Paces Detroit in rebounds
Duren provided 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 130-106 victory over Indiana.
Duren led his team in rebounds and grabbed double-digit boards for the second time in his last three appearances, resulting in his sixth double-double of November. He also posted another strong showing at the rim and has recorded 10 blocks over his last four games. This was a timely performance on the offensive end for Duren, who had been held to seven points or fewer in three of his last four matchups.

Pistons' Malik Beasley: Back to bench role
Beasley is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Beasley delivered quality minutes during his short-lived time as a starter, but he returns to the bench for this matchup now that Cade Cunningham (hip) is back in the starting unit. Beasley is averaging 18.9 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from three-point range over his last eight appearances (six starts).

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Moving back to bench
Thompson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Thompson will move back to the bench due to the return of Tobias Harris (back) to the starting unit. Thompson has averaged 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in two appearances this season.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Will play against Indiana
Cunningham (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.
The Pistons will get a huge boost for this matchup against the Pacers since both Cunningham and Tobias Harris (hip) will suit up for this NBA Cup contest. Cunningham, who will return after a three-game absence, should be inserted into the starting lineup right away and handle his regular workload in the backcourt. He's averaging 23.5 points, 8.9 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game this season.

Pistons' Tobias Harris: Will play Friday
Harris (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Harris was sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a hip issue, but he will return for Friday's contest. Since and including Nov. 1, Harris has averaged 14.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists over 32.7 minutes per game.

Pistons' Tobias Harris: Active in Friday's shootaround
Harris (hip), who is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers, participated in the club's morning shootaround, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
The veteran forward missed Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies due to a left hip impingement, though he and Cade Cunningham (hip) were both active during shootaround which bodes well for their potential return to game action. If Harris is sidelined once again, Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio will likely see an uptick in playing time.
