Fontecchio

The lopsided score in favor of Detroit helped Fontecchio set a new season-high for scoring in this game. He did an excellent job during cleanup time and scored 18 of his 23 points in the second half. Fontecchio also made all five of his attempts from deep. It was a fantastic night for him, but this isn’t something that managers should get used to. He has averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 triples per game this season, which has him ranked outside the top-300 in nine-cat leagues.

Schroder and Fontecchio were initially probable for Friday’s game, so the status upgrades were expected. Schroder’s return after a one-game absence will likely bump Marcus Sasser out of the rotation. Fontecchio’s return after missing two games will not have as much impact, but it may mean fewer minutes for Ron Holland II.

Schroder is set to return from a one-game layoff. Fontecchio missed the Pistons’ previous two games after suffering a finger injury. Both players should assume their usual backup roles.

Fontecchio will miss a second straight game due to a dislocated finger, and his next chance to return will be Friday when the Pistons host the Nuggets. Fontecchio’s absence won’t cause much of an impact in the world of fantasy hoops, as his production has been minimal this season when available.

Injured during Sunday’s win over the Hawks, Fontecchio’s dislocated finger caused him to miss Monday’s win over the Clippers. He was also considered questionable for that contest, so there’s no guarantee he’ll return on Wednesday. However, Fontecchio has not been productive enough to merit being stashed on deep league rosters as he works his way back to full strength.

Fontecchio left Sunday’s win over the Hawks with a dislocated finger on his right hand and will not be available on Monday. Paul Reed did play a few rotation minutes after Fontecchio’s injury, but he is not worth the streaming risk in most fantasy leagues.

Fontecchio had an early exit from Sunday’s win over Atlanta, and he could miss the second leg of Detroit’s back-to-back set. Paul Reed may be in line for an expanded role if Fontecchio can’t go, but B-Ball Paul isn’t an attractive streamer.

Fontecchio played five first-half minutes before exiting Sunday’s game with an injured right hand. While his exit does not impact fantasy basketball, it did result in Paul Reed entering the rotation. Reed will not offer much of a fantasy ceiling if Fontecchio misses time, especially with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart in the rotation.

Fontecchio was acquired in a midseason trade by the Pistons last year, but isn’t part of Detroit’s rotation this season. With the game against the Nets in hand Wednesday, the 29-year-old small forward got to play 24 minutes off the bench. He had a good game, but it still won’t matter much for fantasy basketball as he’s unlikely to play that much again going forward.

Fontecchio missed the team’s last three games due to personal reasons, but he’ll be available for their matchup with the Trail Blazers. However, his availability won’t have much of an impact on the team’s rotation.
