  • DET Small Forward #9

    Ausar Thompson amassed 22 points (8-of-10 FGs, 6-of-12 FTs), seven rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes in a Game 5 win over the Knicks on Tuesday.
    For the first time in this series, Thompson managed to make the Knicks pay for their willingness to leave him alone offensively. The second-year wing took full advantage of the dunker spot in Game 5, with either Cade Cunningham or Jalen Duren (9/14/6/0/2 in 33 minutes) finding him for layups or dunks. Thompson did not shoot well from the foul line, but the improved offensive production made it easier for Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff to leave him on the court in crunch time. Detroit will need a similar effort from Thompson in Game 6 on Thursday if they’re to force a decisive seventh game.
  • DET Center #28
    Isaiah Stewart (knee) is questionable for Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday.
    Stewart has missed the last two games of this series, with Paul Reed replacing him in the rotation. The Pistons would stick with that adjustment if Beef Stew misses Game 4. His absence also means more playing time for starter Jalen Duren, provided he stays out of foul trouble.

    Jalen Duren amassed 16 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the Knicks.
    Duren’s stat line was not as robust as it was in Detroit’s Game 2 victory, but the third-year center has played well thus far. Foul trouble cut into Duren’s minutes slightly during the second half. Paul Reed once again assumed the backup center role with Isaiah Stewart (knee) out, and he recorded four points, eight rebounds and one block in 16 minutes. Duren and Reed will remain in Detroit’s big man rotation if Stewart is unable to play in Game 4 on Sunday.
  • DET Center #28
    Isaiah Stewart (knee) is out for Thursday’s Game 3 against the Knicks.
    Stewart will miss a second straight game due to right knee inflammation, leaving the Pistons down a player within their frontcourt rotation. Paul Reed will serve as the backup center, while starter Jalen Duren’s minutes will increase. Reed only played 11 minutes in Monday’s Game 2 victory but led the Pistons in plus/minus.

    Isaiah Stewart (knee) is questionable for Thursday’s Game 3 against the Knicks.
    Stewart’s lingering case of right knee inflammation kept him on the sidelines for Monday’s Game 2 victory. Starter Jalen Duren’s playing time increased, as he logged 37 minutes, with Paul Reed playing the other 11 at the center position. Expect a similar split if “Beef Stew” cannot play on Thursday.

    Jalen Duren posted a full line on Monday with 12 points (3-of-4 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks against the Knicks in Game 2.
    Duren played 25 minutes in Game 1, but with Isaiah Stewart (knee) sidelined for Game 2, Duren’s minutes ballooned to 37, with Paul Reed playing the other 11 minutes at center. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff couldn’t play Duren all 48 minutes, but he isn’t going to rely on Reed unless he absolutely has to. If Stewart remains out for Game 3 on Thursday in Detroit, Duren should once again play the majority of the center minutes for the Pistons.

    Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been ruled out for Game 2 against the Knicks on Monday.
    Stewart underwent postgame imaging after Saturday’s loss after struggling through that game. He won’t be available as Jalen Duren’s backup off the bench. Paul Reed is next in line at center, but he isn’t a player that Detroit wants to have to trust in the postseason. Duren may just end up playing more minutes.

    Jalen Duren had 11 points (5-of-9 FGs), 16 rebounds, five assists and one block against the Bucks on Friday.
    Duren put up another double-double, his sixth in his last seven games. The 21-year-old center is closing out the regular season on a high note as he’s provided seventh-round fantasy value over the last two months of the season. Fantasy managers will certainly take that after a slow start to the season. Duren isn’t a name fantasy managers should forget heading into drafts next season.
  • DET Center #0
    Jalen Duren shot 8-of-8 from the field in Thursday’s win over the Knicks, tallying 16 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes.
    Duren finished with his fifth double-double in six games. He’s ending the regular season in fine form, providing seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past month. The tandem of Duren and Isaiah Stewart (one rebound, one assist and one block) was too much for the shorthanded Knicks, even though the latter did not score a point. If these two teams meet in the first round of the playoffs, Detroit’s physicality could be an issue for New York.

    Jalen Duren tallied six points (2-of-4 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks in 20 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Kings.
    After missing Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies, Duren was back on the court, providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. He’s recorded at least five assists in 14 games, double his tally from a season ago. The negative for Duren on Monday was that he was in foul trouble throughout the night, only playing 20 minutes. Backup Isaiah Stewart logged 27 minutes, finishing with eight points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one three-pointer.
