Pistons' Paul Reed: Seven defensive counters
Reed provided eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and five steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 loss to the Clippers.
Despite being limited by early foul trouble, Reed went to work, particularly on the defensive end, where he racked up seven combined steals and blocks. The offensive output continues to be underwhelming despite his current role, although managers should be more than happy with his peripheral contributions. Until Jalen Duren (ankle) is cleared to return, Reed should be rostered in all formats.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Offers little despite start
Ivey accumulated eight points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and three rebounds across 20 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 loss to the Clippers.
Ivey moved into the starting lineup after Cade Cunningham was ruled out with a wrist injury. While this was a great opportunity for Ivey, he came up well short of what managers were hoping for. Given what we have seen from him thus far, and the fact that he is typically limited to minutes in the teens, Ivey can be ignored in standard leagues at this point.

Pistons' Tolu Smith: Career-best performance
Smith accumulated nine points (1-7 FG, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 loss to the Clippers.
Smith played just the sixth game of his career, dominating the glass with a career-high 14 rebounds while adding a career-high four blocks. Both Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (illness) were sidelined, while Paul Reed was limited to just 22 minutes due to foul trouble. This allowed Smith to step into the largest role of his career, rewarding anyone who took a chance on him in deeper formats. While this was a great performance, it should be treated as nothing more than an outlier unless Duren and Stewart continue to miss time.

Pistons' Javonte Green: Starting sans Stewart
Green will start against the Clippers on Saturday.
With Isaiah Stewart (illness) and Tobias Harris (hip) unavailable, Green will get the starting nod against Los Angeles. In three starts so far this season, the 32-year-old swingman has averaged 13.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 35.7 minutes per tilt.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Ruled out Saturday
Stewart (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Stewart was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness and will miss his first game since Nov. 12. With the 24-year-old big man joining Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip) on the sidelines, plenty of minutes will be available for Paul Reed, Ronald Holland and Javonte Green, while Isaac Jones and Tolu Smith are candidates to enter the rotation. Stewart's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Suns.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Ruled out vs. Clippers
Cunningham (wrist) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Cunningham was not present for Saturday's shootaround, so it's not entirely surprising to see him out for this matchup. The star floor general has missed Detroit's last two games, and his absence means Jaden Ivey should start at point guard once again. Cunningham's next chance to play will come against the Suns on Thursday.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Not present at shootaround
Cunningham (wrist) did not participate in Saturday morning's shootaround, Jacob Richman of MLive.com reports.
Cunningham is dealing with a right wrist contusion, which forced him to miss the Pistons' win over the Bulls on Wednesday. His inability to participate in the morning shootaround doesn't bode well for his chances of playing against the Clippers on Saturday, but his official status will be known closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Jaden Ivey drew the start Wednesday, and he could do so again Saturday if Cunningham is not cleared to play.

Pistons' Chaz Lanier: Back to NBA
Detroit recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Friday.
Lanier has continued to play for both the NBA and G League squads since December, although he's usually a second-unit option for the Pistons. In his 16 NBA regular-season games, the guard is currently averaging 0.7 points, 0.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 9.6 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Downgraded to questionable
Stewart is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.
Stewart is a late addition to the injury report, as he woke up Saturday feeling under the weather. The big man has stepped into a larger role due to the absences of Tobias Harris (hip) and Jalen Duren (ankle), so if Stewart can't play Saturday, the Pistons would have to lean heavily on Paul Reed, Ronald Holland and Tolu Smith in the frontcourt. Per Jacob Richman of Mlive.com, Stewart wasn't at Saturday morning's shootaround.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Won't play Saturday
Duren (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Duren will miss his fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to play won't come until Thursday's matchup against the Suns. With the 22-year-old center and Tobias Harris (hip) remaining sidelined, Paul Reed, Ronald Holland and Isaiah Stewart are candidates for increased playing time.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Questionable for Saturday
Cunningham (wrist) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Clippers.
Cunningham missed Wednesday's win over the Bulls with the wrist issue, which resulted in Jaden Ivey drawing the start with Daniss Jenkins logging extended minutes with the second unit. It'll be more of the same if Cunningham is out again Saturday, but we'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at shootaround.

Pistons' Caris LeVert: Minutes managed in return
LeVert (knee) tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two blocks across 12 minutes in Wednesday's 108-93 win over the Bulls.
In his return from a four-game absence due to left knee tendinopathy, LeVert had his playing time monitored carefully. His 12-minute workload was his smallest of the season, but LeVert managed to fill out the stat sheet nicely during his time on the court. Once he gets fully ramped up from the knee injury, LeVert could cut into the playing time of Daniss Jenkins, who has played 20-plus minutes in three straight contests.

Pistons' Paul Reed: Solid line in win
Reed closed with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 108-93 victory over the Bulls.
Jalen Duren (ankle) remains out for Detroit, though he's due to be re-evaluated prior to their next game Saturday. Reed has fared well in his last three starts with 8.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Big night on defense
Thompson chipped in 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 108-93 win over the Bulls.
The third-year forward recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game for the first time since Dec. 20, and the fourth time this season. Thompson's production remains erratic, but over the last 10 games, he's averaging 11.3 points, 6.1 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks.

Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Career high in assists Wednesday
Jenkins accumulated two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 15 assists, six rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 108-93 win over Chicago.
The 15 dimes were a career high for Jenkins, as he took on more distribution duties with Cade Cunningham (wrist) unavailable. Jenkins has played at least 23 minutes with the second unit in three straight games, averaging 13.0 points, 8.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 2.3 boards in 25.3 minutes with that increased workload. However, with Caris LeVert (knee) returning from a four-game absence Wednesday and with Cunningham not expected to miss much more additional time, if any, Jenkins could see his minutes fall steadily in the near future.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Sets career high in points
Stewart generated 31 points (14-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks across 30 minutes of Wednesday's 108-93 win over the Bulls.
Stewart bested his previous career high of 26 points, scoring at an unprecedented efficiency level Wednesday. The big man has stepped into a larger role over the past four games due to the absences of Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip), and he's averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 blocks across 31.0 minutes during that span.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Starting Wednesday
Ivey is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Bulls, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
With Cade Cunningham (wrist) unavailable, Ivey will draw his first start of the season. He'll be joined in the first unit by Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson, Paul Reed and Isaiah Stewart. Ivey has been hit-or-miss this season, but he'll get some time to shine in a starting role against a weak defensive team, making him an intriguing target in daily fantasy leagues.
