Stewart will be suspended for seven games for his involvement in an altercation with Charlotte's Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate on Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The Pistons were anticipating a lengthy suspension and got one for their backup center after he left the bench to aggressively charge Bridges and Diabate. Jalen Duren will be suspended for a pair of games, making Paul Reed a decent pickup in fantasy hoops for the short term. Stewart will be eligible to return against the Cavaliers on March 3.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Across-the-board production
Rotowire
Stewart totaled 11 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 win over the Nuggets.
Stewart chipped in across most major categories, turning in another serviceable performance. After a hot start to the season, Stewart has settled into a 22-minute per-night role, averaging 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 14 games over the past month. As long as Jalen Duren is healthy, Stewart should only be looked at as a specialist streamer for blocks.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Pops for 16 points in loss
Rotowire
Stewart closed with 16 points (7-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Rockets.
Stewart dropped 16 points, the most he has scored in his past five appearances. Despite playing a consistent role off the bench, Stewart has been inconsistent, particularly on the offensive end of the floor. With season averages of 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks, he should be viewed as more of a stream-level player as opposed to someone who needs to be rostered.

Rotowire
Stewart chipped in four points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across 22 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 victory over Phoenix.
Stewart wasn't all that involved in the offense in his return from a one-game absence, but he still came through with the defensive stats. Stewart ranks second in total blocks (72) this season, so he's worth rostering in most fantasy leagues as a shot-blocking specialist.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
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.

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.
Stewart had eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over Cleveland.
With the Detroit frontcourt depleted by injuries to Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip), Stewart made his second straight start and had another impressive performance on defense. It was the second time this season the 24-year-old center has recorded multiple steals and multiple blocks in the same game, and in 15 appearances since the beginning of December he's averaged 9.7 points, 4.8 boards, 2.5 blocks and 1.0 assists in 24.0 minutes per game.

While the big man was unimpressive on the offensive end, he chipped in a game-high mark in blocks, matching his season high. He has posted at least one swat in nine straight games, averaging 2.3 blocks per game during that stretch. Stewart will likely continue to see an expanded role for as long as Harris is sidelined.
