Duren logged eight points (3-10 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 27 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 113-105 loss to the Magic in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The fourth-year center fell a bucket and a board short of his first double-double since April 2, but Duren made his biggest impact at the rim, with the five blocks topping any of his regular-season performances in 2025-26. Through three games in the series, he's averaging 9.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.7 minutes heading into Game 4 on Monday.

Thompson ended with 17 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, five blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 loss to the Magic in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The seven combined blocks and steals represented his best total since March 20, when the third-year forward racked up seven steals and a block in a win over the Warriors. The 17 points were also Thompson's best performance on offense in the series so far, and he's averaging 12.0 points, 7.7 boards, 2.3 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 assists in 30.0 minutes heading into Game 4 on Monday.

Harris notched 23 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 loss to the Magic in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

It was the veteran forward's best scoring performance yet in the series. Harris is averaging 18.7 points, 8.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 threes in 35.7 minutes to begin the Pistons' playoff run, and he should remain a high-floor DFS option in Game 4 on Monday.

Cunningham accumulated 27 points (8-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds and nine assists over 41 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 loss to Orlando in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The 27 points led all scorers on the afternoon, but Cunningham didn't get enough help from his teammates to come away with a road win. The fifth-year guard has delivered at least 27 points in all three games of the series so far, averaging 31.0 points, 8.0 assists, 5.3 boards and 2.3 threes in 39.3 minutes, but he may need to find another gear in Game 4 on Monday to avoid heading back to Detroit staring at a 3-1 deficit.

DiVincenzo exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Saturday's Game 4 against the Nuggets due to an apparent right lower leg injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

DiVincenzo limped off the floor under his own power after suffering a non-contact injury just over one minute into Saturday's contest. If he's unable to return, Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland will likely help pick up the slack.

Jones won't start Saturday's Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves.

With Aaron Gordon back from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, Jones will slide to the second unit. He totaled just 19 minutes off the bench across the first two games of this series, amassing five points and two rebounds in those appearances.

Brunson (ankle) returned to Saturday's Game 4 against the Hawks with 5:38 remaining in the third quarter, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Brunson turned his ankle earlier in the quarter and exited to the locker room. However, the star point guard returned to the bench shortly thereafter and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking back in.

Wembanyama (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 in Portland.

Wembanyama sat out Friday's Game 3 win after suffering a concussion in Game 2, but there's a chance he will get back out there Sunday. If Wembanyama is cleared to play, Luke Kornet would likely head back to the second unit.

McLaughlin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Trail Blazers.

McLaughlin has missed the last three games due to a left ankle sprain but has a chance to return Sunday. However, he isn't guaranteed to see the floor even if he's cleared to play.

Brunson exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Saturday's Game 4 against the Hawks due to an apparent left ankle injury, Vincent Goodwill of ESPN.com reports.

Brunson checked out with 10:29 remaining in the third quarter and can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If the star point guard is unable to return, Miles McBride and Jose Alvarado will likely help pick up the slack.
