Tim Hardaway Jr. - Struggles in spot-start Friday Hardaway closed with three points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason victory.
Impact Hardaway replaced Malik Beasley in the starting lineup but offered very little in terms of tangible production. Brought over to Detroit to provide the team with floor-spacing, Hardaway could be a viable streaming candidate, in theory. Unfortunately, his offensive upside is very limited and in recent times, he has been woeful from the field. Despite starting here, Hardaway will likely begin the season on the bench, making him a non-factor outside of very deep formats.

Cade Cunningham - Nears triple-double Friday Cunningham tabled 25 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3PT, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 109-91 preseason win over Phoenix.
Impact After a slow start to his preseason, Cunningham came alive Friday, falling one assist short of a triple-double. It was a dominant performance by Cunningham, reminding fantasy managers just what he is capable of when healthy. Despite an injury-plagued career to this point, Cunningham remains one of the more exciting players in the league. The Pistons have made some savvy moves during the offseason in the hopes of at least being competitive. Managers should cross their fingers that Cunningham can stay on the floor and that Detroit stays relevant beyond February.

Tobias Harris - Vintage performance in win Harris finished with 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 104-91 preseason win over the Suns.
Impact Harris suited up for the first time this preseason, delivering a vintage performance for his new team. Despite nearing the twilight of his career, Harris should be able to function as the teams' second or third option on offense, while also providing veteran leadership to their young core. Managers should feel safe targeting him in the fifth or sixth rounds of drafts.

Ausar Thompson - Doesn't play Friday Thompson (illness) didn't play in Friday's 109-91 preseason win over the Suns.
Impact Thompson has yet to be cleared, and it's unclear if he'll see the court during the preseason. The Pistons have two more preseason games left before their Opening Night matchup against the Pacers on Oct. 23.

Bobi Klintman - Out Friday Klintman (calf) will not play in Friday's exhibition matchup with the Suns.
Impact Klintman's absence will mark his third straight, as he has yet to suit up this preseason. His next opportunity to debut will come Sunday in Golden State.

Simone Fontecchio - Playing reserve role Friday Fontecchio will come off the bench in Friday's exhibition contest in Phoenix, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Impact Fonteccio started at power forward in the Pistons' first two preseason games with Tobias Harris (illness) sidelined. The latter is returning Friday, so Fonteccio will return to his projected role as a depth frontcourt presence

Tobias Harris - Available, will start Friday Harris (COVID-19) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Suns, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press.
Impact Harris was expected to be available after he acknowledged to be feeling better in recent days, and the veteran forward will start in the frontcourt alongside Tim Hardaway and Jalen Duren. This will be Harris' first appearance in the preseason.
OCTOBER 12 β’ ROTOWIRE
Malik Beasley - Not starting Friday Beasley will play a reserve role in Friday's tilt against the Suns, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Impact Beasley and Tim Hardaway have each gotten one start at small forward in Detroit's first two exhibition contests. The latter will get the nod Friday. Beasley projects to be one of the first players, and a spark, off the bench for the Pistons once the regular-season tips off.
OCTOBER 12 β’ ROTOWIRE
Tim Hardaway Jr. - Gets starting nod Friday Hardaway is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Suns, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The Pistons are tweaking their starting unit for this matchup, and Hardaway will replace Malik Beasley in the lineup. This will be Hardaway's second start of the preseason, but all signs point to him opening the regular season against the Pacers on Oct. 23 on a bench role.

Tobias Harris - Could return Friday Harris (COVID-19) said he is feeling better and is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Suns, Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Harris missed the beginning of the preseason after coming down with COVID-19, but he says he is feeling better and could make his debut Friday. If the 32-year-old isn't able to go Friday, his next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Warriors.

Jaden Ivey - Drops 16 points in preseason loss Ivey scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding five assists, four rebounds and a steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 105-97 preseason loss to the Suns
Impact The fifth overall pick in the 2022 Draft has had a strong start to the exhibition schedule, as he looks to prove he has a place in Detroit's future plans. Ivey should be set as the team's starting two-guard alongside Cade Cunningham to begin the season, but he'll either need to improve his scoring efficiency significantly or become an asset on the defensive end of the court, or both, if he's going to avoid losing minutes to the likes of Tim Hardaway and Malik Beasley.
OCTOBER 9 β’ ROTOWIRE
Jalen Duren - Hits for 17 against Suns Duren scored 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 FT) while adding six rebounds and an assist in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 105-97 preseason loss to the Suns
Impact He led the Pistons in both scoring and rebounding on a night when both Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson were sidelined by illness. Duren's production took a big step forward in his second NBA campaign, as he averaged 13.8 points and 11.6 boards over 61 games in 2023-24, and Detroit's new-look frontcourt could give the 20-year-old even more freedom to crash the glass when it's at full strength.
