Cade Cunningham

DET Point Guard #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cade Cunningham (left sacroiliac joint sprain) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Bucks.

It’s worth noting that Cunningham wasn’t on the injury report ahead of their last game and was ruled out about 15 minutes before tipoff. Hopefully that won’t happen twice in a row, but as of now, he should be back, which would push Malik Beasley back to the bench.
Simone Fontecchio

DET Small Forward #19

Simone Fontecchio accounted for seven points (2-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, and one 3-pointer in 23 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers.

Fontecchio didn’t shoot the ball well, going 1-of-8 from beyond the arc, but he was highly productive on the glass. He corralled a career-high 11 rebounds, providing a little value off the bench. This performance isn’t enough to make Fontecchio a player worth rostering, but seeing him be productive on a night when his shot wasn’t falling was nice.
Malik Beasley

DET Shooting Guard #5

Malik Beasley played 27 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Philadelphia, tallying 19 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

Due to Cade Cunningham being a late scratch, Beasley made his fourth start in Detroit’s last five games. The points and 3-pointers were where fantasy manages like to see them, with the rebounds and assists being excellent bonuses. Over the previous two weeks, Beasley has provided top-60 per-game value in 9-cat formats. He’s likely to return to the bench when the Pistons host Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Jaden Ivey

DET Shooting Guard #23

Jaden Ivey shot 5-of-16 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s 111-96 loss to the 76ers, scoring 15 points with two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

No one connected to the Pistons would be blamed if they labeled Saturday’s defeat a “schedule loss.” After blowing out the Pacers on Friday, they faced the 76ers at home, and Cade Cunningham was a late scratch. Ivey didn’t have his best game, but he’s been much-improved this season. He’ll look to be better on Tuesday when the Pistons host Milwaukee in a pivotal NBA Cup game, the first of three Detroit will play during the first segment of Week 7.
Cade Cunningham

DET Point Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (left sacroiliac joint sprain) is out for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

There was optimism that Cunningham would play after returning to the lineup on Friday in a win over the Pacers. Unfortunately, he was scratched about 15 minutes before Saturday’s tip time. Malik Beasley moves into the starting lineup, with Jaden Ivey sliding into the point guard role.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren had 14 points (5-of-8 FGs), 12 rebounds, two assists and four blocks against the Pacers on Friday.

Duren stayed out of foul trouble on Friday and still ended up only playing 26 minutes, though it was a 24-point blowout. Still, he managed to have a double-double and block four shots. Duren was effective on both ends once again, but simply doesn’t play enough minutes to be a top-100 fantasy player.
Malik Beasley

DET Shooting Guard #5

Malik Beasley had 25 points (10-of-14 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals and five 3-pointers against the Pacers on Friday.

With Cade Cunningham back in the lineup, Beasley came off the bench Friday. He continues to shoot the lights out this season, though, and put up another huge game on Friday. Beasley made 5-of-9 shots from behind the 3-point line on his way to putting up 25 points in 29 minutes. He’s not going to provide much in other categories and it looks like he’ll continue to come off the bench when the Pistons are at full strength, but at some point Beasley becomes more than just a streamer.
Jaden Ivey

DET Shooting Guard #23

Jaden Ivey had 23 points (8-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and three 3-pointers against the Pacers on Friday.

Ivey was pretty good for fantasy while Cade Cunningham (pelvis) was out, but still had a good game in Cunningham’s return Friday. The Pistons blew out the Pacers and scored 130 points, which won’t happen every night. Still, Ivey was efficient on offense scoring 23 points on 13 shots and dishing out six assists. He only turned the ball over three times in 31 minutes, which had been a problem for Ivey this year. Ivey ranks outside the top 175 in fantasy and is rostered in most leagues. He’ll have to keep up this string of good games to make good on that faith.
Cade Cunningham

DET Point Guard #2

Cade Cunningham had 24 points (10-19 FGs), six rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and four 3-pointers in the Pistons’ 130-106 victory over the Pacers on Friday.

Cunningham returned from a three-game absence due to a pelvis injury and picked up right where he left off. He played 33 minutes and had a 24/6/11 line in his first game back. Cunningham will continue to be the focal point of the Pistons offense as long as he can stay healthy.
Cade Cunningham

DET Point Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (left sacroiliac joint sprain) is available for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Cunningham has missed the last three games with the pelvis injury. His return greatly impacts the rest of the Pistons. Malik Beasley will return to the bench and Jaden Ivey’s usage will decrease as Cunningham will resume his role as Detroit’s do-it-all offensive centerpiece.
