Tobias

Harris

Harris wasn’t efficient from the field as he scored just 11 points on 16 field goal attempts, going 4-of-16. The 33-year-old power forward cleaned the glass with 10 rebounds, which helped the Pistons given the suspensions to Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Harris continues to be just solid in his role while the Pistons’ overall depth has capped his ceiling.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, Harris knocked down both of his three-point attempts and shot 3-of-6 from the field in the first half. The Pistons continued to roll after halftime, blowing out the Knicks for the second time this season. At this point in his career, fantasy managers know what they’re going to get from Harris. Detroit’s depth has lowered the veteran forward’s ceiling, but he’ll be consistent in his role.

Harris is back after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Wizards. With Jalen Duren (knee) out, the Pistons can slide Isaiah Stewart to the center position to make room for Harris in the starting lineup.

The veteran sat out Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, but he’ll be back for the second leg of the Pistons’ back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should expect him to handle his typical workload.

With Jalen Duren not returning for the second half of Thursday’s game due to a sore right knee, Holland joined the starters to begin the third quarter. The second-year wing recorded his first double-double and three “stocks” in what was a productive night. Detroit was also without Tobias Harris for Thursday’s game; how this performance affects Holland’s fantasy prospects moving forward depends on Harris and Duren’s availability.

Harris’ sore left hip will keep him out of Thursday’s game, with a home matchup against the Knicks looming on Friday. Isaiah Stewart will move into the starting lineup, joining Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren.

Harris is dealing with left hip soreness and finds himself listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Wizards. The Pistons also take on the Knicks on Friday on the second game of a back-to-back. It’s at least possible the Pistons hold Harris out Thursday, saving him for the more important matchup. Isaiah Stewart or Ron Holland II could move into the starting lineup if Harris is ultimately ruled out.

Harris now has two games with at least 20 points in his last five games. He was also on his way to a 20-point game Sunday against the Kings before he was pulled with 24 minutes played due to a blowout. The 33-year-old small forward’s scoring has picked up since returning from a hip injury. While Harris’ expiring contract would likely be in any big trade the Pistons could make before the deadline, there’s no guarantee that Detroit pulls the trigger. Harris missed both of his three-point attempts, but made 10-of-13 field goal attempts from inside the arc. On a Pistons team without much outside shooting as currently constructed, Harris seems like a safe source of points for the time being.

Harris was efficient, making four three-pointers. It was reminiscent of the 33-year-old small forward’s 25-point effort against the Celtics earlier this week. The main difference was the Pistons blew out the Kings by 23 points and Harris only played 24 minutes. While Harris hasn’t been a great fantasy asset this season, his production has improved since returning from a hip injury and he could benefit from a change of scenery if he’s traded before the deadline.

Harris exited early from Saturday’s game, though the reason wasn’t specified. However, if there was something bothering him then, it didn’t seem to carry over into this game. His 25 points were the most he’s had in a game since November. He hasn’t been a great fantasy option this season, but since returning from a five-game absence with a hip injury, he has been effective. He’ll look to remain hot in New Orleans on Wednesday.
