Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Moving back to bench
Jenkins won't start Sunday's game against the Heat.
With Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) back in action for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jenkins will slide to the second unit. The 24-year-old guard has averaged 3.8 points in 13.8 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench, though he'll likely see a slight bump in minutes due to Ausar Thompson (ankle) being sidelined.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Will play Sunday
Cunningham (quad) is available for Sunday's game in Miami.
Cunningham was listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Cunningham's return will result in Daniss Jenkins returning to the second unit, and Marcus Sasser's minutes figure to dip.

Pistons' Caris LeVert: Won't play Sunday
LeVert has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left wrist sprain.
LeVert may have picked up the injury during the Pistons' 107-105 loss to the Nets on Saturday, when he logged 16 minutes and finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green should both see an increase in minutes off the bench due to LeVert's absence Sunday. LeVert's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Nets.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Probable for Sunday
Cunningham (quad) is probable for Sunday's game in Miami.
Cunningham skipped Saturday's loss to the Nets with a minor quad issue, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday, which should shift Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Cunningham's status closer to tipoff.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Flirts with double-double
Jenkins had 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.
Jenkins moved into the starting lineup, filling in for Cade Cunningham, who was ruled out with a quad issue. Outside of a brief run earlier in the season, Jenkins has been mostly a non-factor thus far. However, even if Cunningham returns for Sunday's game against the Heat, Jenkins might be worth holding, given Ausar Thompson (ankle) could be sidelined for multiple games.

Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Lands three triples in loss
Robinson supplied 15 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and four assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
Robinson connected on at least three triples for the first time in his past five games, although he added very little else. Despite playing a key role for the Pistons, Robinson has been little more than a possible three-point streaming option for those in standard fantasy formats. Through 60 regular-season games, he has averaged 12.0 points and 2.9 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 150.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Empty performance in loss
Stewart chipped in 10 points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
Stewart struggled to find any rhythm, failing to take advantage of what could have been a favorable situation. With Ausar Thompson (ankle) set to miss at least a handful of games, Stewart could find himself moving up in the rotation. While he didn't start Saturday, he could certainly be called upon to move into the opening five should the matchup call for some additional size. Despite this performance, he should at least be on the radar as a short-term addition.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Returns Saturday
Sasser (lower leg) started the second half of Saturday's game against the Nets, per the broadcast.
Sasser headed back to the locker room late in the second quarter after grabbing at his lower left leg. However, he has been cleared to check back in and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Exits to locker room
Sasser exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Nets due to an apparent lower left leg issue, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Sasser was seen grabbing at his left lower leg before checking out of Saturday's contest with 1:19 remaining in the first half. If he's unable to return in the second half, Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Starting Saturday
Jenkins will start against the Nets on Saturday, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.
With Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) unavailable, Jenkins will get the starting nod for the first time since Jan. 21. As a starter this season (seven games), the 24-year-old guard has averaged 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 30.9 minutes per tilt.

Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Thrust into starting role
Sasser is in the Pistons' starting lineup against the Nets on Saturday, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Sasser has seen inconsistent playing time off the Pistons' bench all year, but he'll make his first start of the season (and first since April 13, 2025) due to the absences of Cade Cunningham (quadriceps) and Ausar Thompson (ankle). Sasser is averaging 4.8 points, 1.8 assists and 0.8 rebounds over 9.4 minutes per game this season, though he was a healthy scratch in four of Detroit's last six games.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Good to go Saturday
Duren (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Duren will shed his probable tag to suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set. The center is averaging 22.3 points and 12.7 rebounds over his last six contests.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Likely to miss time, but day-to-day
Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Saturday that Thompson is considered "day-to-day" while he recovers from a right ankle sprain, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Thompson sprained the ankle during the first quarter of the Pistons' 121-106 loss to the Spurs on Thursday. He's since been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, and with Bickerstaff noting that it's "going to be a minute" before Thompson plays again, the third-year forward looks safe to rule out through Sunday's road game against Miami. Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert and Javonte Green are all candidates to enter the Pistons' starting lineup in Thompson's stead beginning with Saturday's game.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Not playing Saturday
Cunningham (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Cunningham was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but the All-Star's left quad contusion is severe enough for him to sit out for the first leg of the Pistons' back-to-back set. Daniss Jenkins should serve as Detroit's starting point guard while Caris LeVert, Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green are candidates to enter the starting five. Cunningham's next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Heat.

Pistons' Ronald Holland: Not listed on injury report
Holland (eye) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Nets.
Holland exited Thursday's loss to the Spurs after suffering a left eye injury, but the issue won't impact his status for Saturday's game. Holland is averaging 8.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game this season.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Ruled out for Saturday
Thompson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Thompson logged just two minutes before exiting Thursday's loss to the Spurs due to a sprained right ankle, and he'll be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set. With the third-year forward sidelined, Javonte Green, Kevin Huerter and Caris LeVert are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Probable for Saturday
Duren is probable for Saturday's game versus the Nets due to low-back spasms.
Duren is dealing with a lower-back issue, but it appears he plans to play through it Saturday. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.
