Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Team-high 11 rebounds in win
Thompson ended Tuesday's 121-113 victory over the Celtics with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
Thompson recorded a double-double, turning in a solid first-up performance. After signing a new deal during the offseason, the hope was that his role would elevate this season. If Tuesday's effort is anything to go by, that could certainly be the case. He was one of only two Pistons players to log at least 30 minutes, a fantastic sign for anyone who took a chance on him in drafts.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Makes all five FGA vs. Toronto
Thompson recorded 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 129-125 preseason win over the Raptors.
It was the second time in four preseason games that Thompson scored in double digits. Entering his fourth year in the league, the 2023 first-rounder is more of a defensive contributor for the Pistons and isn't a threat offensively on a night-to-night basis. Detroit opens its regular season Tuesday against Boston.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Four defensive stats in win
Thompson amassed 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 FT), three steals, two rebounds, two assists and one block in 18 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason win over Phoenix.
Thompson did what he does best, racking up four combined steals and blocks, while also ending as one of five Pistons players to record double-digit scoring. Coming off what was a solid 2025-26 season, all signs point to Thompson playing an even larger role this season. Detroit signed Thompson to a five-year, $155 million deal during the offseason, presumably positioning him to be a huge part of the team's future. Although he has some limitations on the offensive end, Thompson warrants a spot in all fantasy leagues, making for a viable target anywhere after the sixth round, depending on your team's build.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Heavier workload in store
Head coach JB Bickerstaff said Thursday the plan is for Thompson to play more this season, per Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press.
Thompson already averaged a career-high 25.9 minutes per game last regular season, but it sounds like the Pistons are ready to trust him with an even larger workload. His shooting form remains a work in progress -- Thompson has never shot higher than 65 percent from the foul line or 25 percent from deep -- but the swingman has seen his assist and steal totals rise in each of his first three seasons and carries plenty of multi-category upside in the mid-to-late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Agrees to five-year extension with DET
Thompson agreed to a five-year, $155 million rookie-scale contract extension with the Pistons on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Pistons have locked up their defensive ace through the 2031-32 season, so while Jalen Duren's future in Detroit remains murky, Thompson is now locked in as a foundational piece alongside Cade Cunningham for years to come. Thompson has proven to be a solid playmaker and defender, but he still has room to grow offensively, and it remains to be seen if he can develop a reliable three-point stroke.
